Funny, little Hubric is still not able to provide any evidence yet to back up his statements. I have asked the management of IFLY that when their hands are free after launching the IRIS, they should spend a little bit of money getting these crim guys like Auric off the street. They said that they retain the best legal counsel and they will take actions when it's necessary. The identity of Auric is known. His false accusations are loud and clear.

To save what little Hubric has said, here is his statement in post number 4146 just in case that the coward deletes his post:

Eff Fo, Barry. No fine line. I am exorcising the evil out of IFLY. It is a crim stock.

Hey Goldenboy, you are pushing a fine line on this "Crim" stuff. Did you know that some companies have successfully pressed charges of defamation? You might want to check out what happened with Presstek(PRST).

In another recent case filed in September 1997, Presstek Inc. (PRST), a Hudson, N.H. firm, sued three men for allegedly writing libelous comments in discussion threads to profit from "short-selling" of the company's stock. In a short sale, an investor bets the price will fall. If the price falls below the betting price, the investor makes a profit.
Presstek claimed unfair business practices and defamation. The suit is pending. One of the defendants contacted by CNNfn declined comment. Efforts to reach the other two men for comment were unsuccessful.
One posted message accused Presstek of hiding Nazi gold, the lawsuit said. Another claimed that the company was the subject of a grand jury probe. Both were false.
Bob McDaniel, general counsel at Presstek, said the company fielded many inquiries from worried investors as a result of the messages.
"I don't think Internet discussions should be regulated any more than a discussion in a restaurant or on an elevator," McDaniel said. "It wasn't our intention to have a quieting effect on discussions as much as it was to clean up the discussions so they were fair."
Both Silicon Investor and Motley Fool have tightened their guidelines.
