Ken M: Your message to Ms. Shell, IMO was out of line. But if you are trying to show that u are a liar, a scag, a con, a scam artist, well posting that story showing that u were involved in something like that, u did a good job, it worked, and u are all those things.... FBN illustrated a scam, one seen on SI every day where people really get hurt. You don't seem to care about all those investors (i.e., the public which in your other life you have sworn to protect) who lost money on some scam stock. The FBN April Fool's joke taught everyone, excuse me anyone with a lick of sense, what to watch for in scam companies. Best of all: Nobody paid a dime for a very valuable lesson. Nobody lost on dime on a scam stock. See broad, a lot of people join SI, because they are new to investing, and by being on a thread, they learn how to invest, do dd. etc. The first lesson someone new to investing should learn is NEVER TRUST ANYONE. Pick almost any BB thread and read the last 100 posts and count how many times it has been said, "I called the company and they said....." Ken, get real; they want YOUR money. If they are straight shooters, their words are backed up by facts, like property deeds, appraisal reports, certified financials, revenues. Those facts are available for everyone to see and not just a SELECT few who, "call the company." Oh yea, you don't need a crystal ball to figure out what they meant to say when they issue a press release. On the other hand, the true thieves spin a good story, have a few henchman to sing the praises of the mark as to "how smart they are to recognize the opportunity", "how lucky they are to be in a on the ground floor," on and on and on. Then they let greed take over. You are a police officer. You do know about stings, hide-the-pea, etc. But what u did, gives SI a black eye, and makes everything suspect to these new investors, and that was wrong. First time I ever heard a police officer saying that educating the public on how to spot criminal activity is a bad thing.
