Anthony@Pacific is a fascinating case study.

He is a convicted felon that committed fraud himself that rails against others committing fraud. Yet, his followers stick by him. FBI was investigating him for some sort of charity scenario and his followers stuck by him through out all of it.

They pay him 600 a month for his service. I don't know how many subscribers he claims to have but I would think it would be at least 50 judging by the number of people that trounce on SI. Now, I am sure not all are paying 600 a month but that is still a good amount of change.

Would you do it if you could get 100 people to pay you 600 a month? Added to this is the synergistic effect that his group can have on a stock. I won't go so far as to call it stock manipulation. Let's just say it is synergism when they all pounce..thus helping his own position.

Though, I do have to wonder how much he is making given that he couldn't pay interest on a 20,000 fine. Maybe he bought too many guns and cars that year.

Not many people could have the past that he does and still get people to fork over 600.00 a month. Name one other with a crystal clean background on SI that has the kind of following that Anthony commands for the price he commands. He must make them money or they wouldn't stay. He clearly has dedicated followers. All one needs to do is watch the threads of the stocks he targets to see them act as a group.

Jenna tried to do a chat room for a lower fee. It looks like she couldn't get enough followers to keep the room afloat. I am sure though she would say there is a different reason why she is pursuing a different idea.

Anthony@Pacific is indeed a character worth studying..if for nothing else than entertainment value.
