It is illegal to manipulate a stock by the spreading of false or misleading information for the purpose of personal gain, for example to spread misleading information for the purpose to weaken the share price and induce others into selling. Calling a stock a scam without providing evidence, calling executives criminals, or any other similar acts for the purpose of buying stock at a cheaper price
