Geez, that guy looks like Ben "hit piece" Axler.

I'm sure it has. If the article had the formula for Coca-Cola, you better believe they'd take it down as fast as John Bird can buy massive quantities of highly speculative puts two days before the MW release after day 6 of Reg SHO.

However the question Value08 was asking was whether potential liability exists for SA once it's brought to their attention that the Chirin article is based on forgery and false documentation to manipulate the market. Depending on the presentation to SA, it seems yes for criminal (liability to the government agencies as an accessory) but no for private causes of action. Chirin is not immune from private causes of action. SA will most likely successfully claim broad immunity from subpoena and discovery in private causes of action against Chirin as well.

See my previous message for disclaimer, etc.

S/A article removals-- tbirdman: "it's been done before"

Thanks for that link to the case of an article by David Trainer on IDTI being removed for “material errors.”

http://seekingalpha.com/article/248648-article-removed

Interesting to see that the comments section was left intact there, and Trainer had the last word: “For the record, I want readers to know that my article does NOT have any material errors. Someone from IDTI complained to the Seeking Alpha editors about the article; so they removed it. All the proof you need in our report on IDTI on my blog - and we have made the report free so anyone who wants to check my numbers is welcome to check them.”

I'd say that Chimin Sang's two articles thus far appear to have something different than "material errors," more like "fabricated or falsified documents." JMO, i'm not a lawyer.
