Will someone explain why it's "sheeple" and not "sheepies"? Just curious :-). IMHO, if the press reports are accurate, not always a given, unfortunately, AP has not exactly denied trading on non-public info he obtained from the FBI. Royer's attorney spoke of "chaos." I'd think that's a systemic risk, that some people would be permitted to trade on FBI database info, while the rest of us cannot. BTW, I don't recall among all the hoopla here AP ever disclosing that he was trading on FBI info, or that he was negotiating for blocks from the companies he targeted. Why not, if his main course of action was to out scams? Elgindy's lawyer said it was "absurd" that 300+ members would base their trades on AP's advice, his clear-cut calls, recs. I'd think that theory is absurd. I mean, why pay huge monthly fees to AP if not to trade his advice? That argument makes no sense. "Jest bidness." It's funny that there are some trading "leaders" like AP, Rea/Merlin, Berber, TokyoJoe, who seemed to think lying in public was perfectly acceptable. Just because most of their scams were perpetrated online, they think they're immune from the consequences. Something else: isn't it interesting that those who pounded the table hardest as providing the public with honest products and services are now facing these kinds of serious allegations of rampant deceit? Also, how almost all of them thought they could buy absolution by making charitable contributions with the proceeds of their RICO enterprises? Lots in common; not "jest bidness."

I wonder if Kenneth Breen has looked into the activities of the lead "sheeple," for example those who posted here and also all over the Net including Yahoo and Raging Bull in aid of AP activities: mama bear, auric goldfinger et al. They're well known to us who've been here for a while, since '98. Sadly, not many left to identify them, most fraud victims are not in any position to be posting at SI any longer, let alone to bring viable claims in a court.
