OT Worldcom history per a Mr. OMK .

"There was a poster named Kirby on the MCI Worldcom board that was the main cheerleader for MCI Worldcom, and even when just about every analyst was predicting Worldcom would cancel the already declared dividend, Kirby would keep urging his followers to buy and hold for the Divvy which if they paid it would have if I remember correctly would have been a huge percentage of the stock price. When Worldcom declared bankruptcy and canceled the divvy this Kirby (our Kirby?) whined he was lied to by management and that he and his family were ruined and his wife was leaving him and he was threatening to commit suicide. Many readers believed him and there were many posts from good samaritans trying to talk him out of it. Then he disappeared. Don't know if the suicide posts were to get sympathy for himself or to throw anyone who lost their life savings from listening to him from trying to track him down. But anyway now we have a Kirby here too with the same modus operandi, trying to tell readers that they will get a huge divvy from the preferred, and trying to get people to buy this stock.
BTW, management really did mislead the investors, Ebbers is in jail right now.
The strange thing is these Kirby and Rooky type posters always seem to show up pumping stocks that are ready to go under. Could they be a professional pumpers specializing in these kinds of stocks?"
