Those who get most upset when these topics are raised will claim that they've been bashing for years and yet nobody pays them or their friends or their associates, or the associates of their associates, all of whom bash for the good of society, totally independent of each other, each coming to the same conclusion on their own, without need of reward or payment.

Realistic?

If a tout said something like this, he'd be laughed at all over the place.

A tout has to disclaim.

A message board basher can bash for pay and there is no disclosure required. That's the key. The only restraint is if there are violations of 10(b)-5 or other anti-manipulative regs. (For extreme and provable lies, libel, slander,etc.) Of course, the SEC or the AUSA would have to be involved. But it happens and we saw it at the guru crew trial. A lot of the same people were very seemingly surprised at the verdict.

Would they be more surprised at the existence of paid bashers?
