JBI, Inc. Plastic2Oil Process Commences Commercial Operation

A gullible and uneducated investor who falls for "too-good-to-be-true" scams could have been convinced to make a foolish investment based on this announcement.
However, true *bagholder* status driven by a serious cognitive impairment, would be the only way to describe anyone who then held the stock after the next year, as Bordynuik's fraud was repeatedly and clearly exposed for what it was.
Anyone who held past the point of the SEC making it's fraud case against JBI and Bordynuik public could be deemed to have been suffering from moderate mental retardation, at least.
Anyone who believed the mentally impaired criminal touts who screamed "alleged!" and "parking-ticket" as reasons to ignore the facts made known by the SEC should be banned from investing, and consider giving power of attorney over their affairs to someone who doesn't live their life as an outlier at the far left end of the bell curve.
