lol..he didn't associate with them so as to approve of their actions he did so because they had wanted to change their bad ways,we shouldn't confuse it to give it a greenlight so we think we can too...the bible dosent contradict itself ...what does it say about bad associates and not being misled?? and yes stock scammers are very bad,theres one whom I wont mention that pumps then dumps on his people then later puts on his webside he was compensated...but he wont post it til the dump is complete and theres others too that pm you and want you to bring in buyers and say its going to run high etc. like bullmarketing guy,he then he dumps etc and bought a house in jersey and a new car right 2 weeks after his dump...PAPA was the stock...and his partner cheezes others too...they sold unregistered securities too and always try to sell you private placement shares and you can see them og facebook foing to Miami heat games and nightlife,silicone wifes etc. that's where shareholders $$$ goes its just a prime example of scam artists...always more victims coming up...
