GOOD PRESUMPTION! There is no reason why ADVFN would PAY TOP DOLLAR to MattyB for Hubville site when his back was against the ropes and his ass was on the way to jail...
UNLESS, of course, ADVFN was well CONnected and well FUNDed...
and KNEW that they could RAMP UP the REVENUES extracted by taking LieHUb to the next level!
AND... damned if they didn't!
There is NO TELLING how many THOUSANDS of victims have passed through Hubville and been scammed of THOUSANDS by the many OPERATIVES working those little boards AS IF they were PROs operating on the BIG BOARDS!
LOL... sooner or later AWARENESS dawns on the unsuspecting.
There IS a reason that folks WHO WORK HUBVILLE BOARDS get so upset when "enlightened posters" discuss Naked Shorting, Market Manipulation, rogue MMs, inadequacy of SEC controls on the OTC, etc.
Then there are those FEW who also document their nonsense and make calls to FINRA, etc. These FEW really ramp up their "ANGST" levels!
SAD THING IS... most all those gubment agencies are in the tank with the thieves... otherwise, people would be in jail (not just switching jobs or just be ordered to "keep silent" in the future), and ALL SMBs would have to require documentation of facts, clear statements of opinion, AND DELETION OF BLATANT LIES to keep the sites from being SUED OUT OF EXISTENCE!
WHICH, IMHO, would be a "GOOD THING," even by Martha's definition!
