How many companies have you reported to the SEC because you suspected them of being frauds?

That's a misconception: "Ah, but wait a second here: the main marketing strategy of you, AP, Mama Bear, Goldfinger, Truthseeker et al was your crusade against scams in order to benefit the public." I think Tony may have used that as a marketing device, but at least some if not all the others did not. And many more people who bust scams without even having a short position do not do so out of altruism, either. Somehow though, that angle seems to get automatically inferred by folks who don't know any better. Take Janice for example. She's never paraded on the altruism angle. She does what she does partially for entertainment, partially as vicarious revenge on some french fry vendor. Invariably, some message board bozo reads into that the altruism thing even though she doesn't make a point of it. A lot of people bust scams without necessarily caring about the public sheep. And not always in a "bad, profit for themselves" way, either. There's about a half-dozen total motives or more, in fact.
