A lawsuit has already been brought to bear, Bong.
As for Essary... I'm not a big Chelekis fan (for some of his bigger stunts), but someone pointed out this link yesterday. If you read nothing else...

A snippet, emphasis added:
It doesn't have to be a gold mine. It can be a wildcat exploration play. Or a "star wars" widget. A new computer chip. A Year 2000 play. The play depends mostly on how well the insider can tell his story. His first stop is to the newsletter crowd. From what I've observed, newsletter writers are probably the most gullible folks on the face of the earth, aside from their subscribers. A good deal of the newsletter editors have no clue as to how they would properly appraise a gold mine. Most are asking each other or checking with their own geological consultant. And most of them are hardly worth a bucket of spit. They are more interested in how much stock they can get crossed, and at what price, than how well the story plays. Heck, if it was all so wonderful, then there would never be any private businesses that failed, let alone publicly traded companies (which are essentially broke to begin with) that took the swan dive to Hell. |
