I can definitely add to that story. ADVFN does ow

ADVFN's, which owned IHub, stance on Mr. Brown defrauding IHub's readers was that they considered it a personal problem of Mr. Brown's. They left him stay in control of all the message boards. Their level of concern about their readers being defrauded: None.
However ADVFN will also do what they can to sweep any information about how IHub defrauds their own subscribers under the rug. On SI, I had written a post about the about the criminal activity over on IHub. I was simultaneously banned from IHub and SI for that one post. Once SI changed hands, SI reinstated my account. I'm still banned from IHub.
However I don't think that JBI is being affected by IHub's policies or that IHub is responsible for trying to manipulate JBI. There are message deletions but they don't seem erratic. I see positive and negative posts about JBI being allowed to stand over there and that also seems to be the case on IHang.
