RM is just trying to make it look like good business to spend CF cash on Carmax.

That is why he is paid to be there. Pump Carmax.

As a hypothetical example - What would have happened if Vette was exposed as being hired by CF? I think everyone would be calling foul to say the least!

Its one thing for an independent shareholder or stock analyst/blogger to pick a stock and pump it, but once an exchange regulated company hires someone without disclosure to write highly biased articles and promote the company's agenda online - doesn't that change things?

How is this any different? They have been caught, no?

Does anyone know if there are regulations that cover these actions?

Its obvious that I personally find this type of deception offensive, but don't know what regulations, if any, apply?

If this is something not allowed, it should be shut down or at least the company should disclose their involvement and proper 'paid for' disclosures added to articles and forum posts.

We don't need to encourage further manipulations like this?Zep, I still hold the bulk of my shares - only sold my cash account shares on the runup to the last JV meeting.

I still hope for some financially conservative news from the company, or at least a written statement they will not dilute further. I suppose a budget and plan going forward would help? I can't imagine selling here at this price. I think tax selling and the unbearable juniors market are holding prices down.

If it becomes obvious the spending will continue at an unsustainable rate, I will bail out at a massive loss. There isn't much value left right now anyways, so the cost of holding isn't high...
