GV, Business Week reports this week that a "Tokyo Joe" just reached a tentative settlement of fraud charges with the SEC, to the tune of $750,000. The Commission claims this guy was taking gifts from companies for promoting their stock on chat rooms and running a classic "pump and dump" operation.

It's much more likely to occur with boiler-room type junk. Charlie
