Some of the people busted could be regular SIers
who use aliases. If this the case I hope we
find out who's who eventually.

Scott,

I opened up my WSJ this morning, and right there on the first page of the third section was none other than Tokyo Mex. The WSJ ran a fairly good article on him. In it he admits to:

... a practice called "pumping and dumping."

Mr. [Joe] Park [Tokyo Mex] readily acknowledges "some conflicts of interest where I was pushing stocks I owned" and then "reaped most of the benefits" when followers bought in. "That wasn't fair," he concedes.


Guess you were right in your assessment.

KJC

P.S. Bolding is my insertions for clarification

Good question. Tokyo Mex is a very famous guy in the securities industry. Does anyone have the text of the recent WSJ article about him? Not the link, but the text, if so, please post it on this thread. Tanks! TLC
