In the affidavit, FBI special agent Kurt Dengler alleges that, starting on Nov. 4, Dion and his associates conspired to defraud investors by:

. boosting Siga's trading volume to create the appearance of active market interest;

. conducting matched trades to "walk up" the stock to the desired price;

. paying undisclosed kickbacks to brokers to induce their clients to buy shares at artificially inflated prices.


The FBI is uncovering and prosecuting a lot of fraud like that now, with the active participation of the SEC.

OMG!

It's rampant everywhere!!

Not just here on JBII with the obvious wash trading and tape painting dressing up a 5 cent pig into a $1.50 wonder.

Heaven help us...or the FBI...or failing that, even with WELLS NOTICES, the SEC.

We're DOOMED!!
