SEC busts stock promoters on boards

sec.gov

'Internet Message Board Contemporaneous with the publication of the false press releases, Luis Lorie and Lester conducted a campaign of making false statements about American Healthcare by posting messages using various aliases on an Internet website with message boards devoted to the discussion of different securities. In those messages, Lester and Luis Lorie repeated the false statements that were in the press releases, touted American Healthcare stock, misrepresented their identities and misrepresented their trading activity. In one instance, using a pseudonym, Luis Lorie posted a series of messages on the Raging Bull Internet message board describing a fictional "due diligence" visit to American Healthcare's New York City "office." After setting forth extensive fabricated details concerning his visit, Luis Lorie concluded the posting by thanking various American Healthcare personnel for assisting him, including "Charles" and "Trudy", whom he thanked for their "TIME and EFFORT in spending time with me and giving me the understanding I thought I had in AHEA." In truth, Charles and Trudy were Wheeler's pet dogs. '

Sorry, I just find this to be funny. I was following one stock promoter with two dogs and he also used their names as fake user names. Another pump and dumper used his kids names. Just too funny.
