That would be a welcome intervention in my opinion. It may also serve to help keep some of the low life scum bag promoters from scamming small time investors like you and me by investigating them as well.
I'm sure a few will still fall through the cracks but at least exposing some is better than the BS we see happening now.
I know of one such promoter who cost me thousands of dollars and is now vice pres. of a recently listed company. To me, that is outrageous. Another, who cost me even more money, is now onto his next project making false statements and conning dozens of others into parting with their hard earned cash.
Maybe I've just got SUCKER written across my forehead. I don't know. But I do know that there are thousands just like me out there and the stock exchanges seem to be oblivious to what's going on. At least on the surface they appear to be doing little. However, maybe this article you refer to suggests otherwise. Let's hope so for all of us not only on this thread, but on every other thread where bullshit seems to be the norm! JMHO.

Andrew, you had a pump and dump dude being the instigator, a bunch of neophytes were jumping on the wagon while he was selling. also, mentioned were a bunch of double dealing new letter writers who were paid to hype stock. us professionals, are not easily taken in by slime bucket back room types. keep your eyes peeled for these con men.
