If anyone (other than SRGE/MSJ) and trying to pull any funny business it's illegal the way I read it. "
 Market manipulation    is a deliberate attempt to interfere with the free and fair operation of the market and create artificial, false or misleading appearances with respect to the price of, or market for, a   security   ,    commodity    or    currency   . Market manipulation is prohibited in the United States under Section 9(a)(2)    [1]      of the    Securities Exchange Act of 1934   ," 
  
 From a couple people that have talked to the SEC they are aware of the Srge board and watching all that goes on, if the bashers do any fake or misleading websites the SEC will have all the proof they need. imo
