<<The only time longs seem to see the scam is when the trumpets are sounding and the walls tumbling down.>>

Not really. I think it is true of many victims of con-games (including fraudulent stock promotion) that they refuse to believe they've been conned even after the fraud is exposed. They'd rather blame the people who tried to warn them in the first place. There are STILL people on the Zitel boards who really think the stock will make them rich...or that it down due to a short-selling "conspiracy".

Interstingly, these stock con-artists have unwittingly made me hundreds of thousands of dollars. I have profited from their scams by being on the correct side of their scams. Where else can you profit so handsomely as the result of a crime - without actually commiting the crime?
