Ok SEC it’s deleted.

Just fyi poster were PAID to bash the stock in 2020- on. Don’t stop reading. Just the facts 5.9555555

It Legal to Be Paid to Bash a Stock?

✅ Technically, yes

But only if you disclose it.

Under SEC Rule 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933:

If someone is paid to promote (or bash) a stock — whether with cash, shares, or anything of value — they must clearly disclose:
• That they were paid
• Who paid them
• What form of compensation was received

BUT HERE’S THE CATCH:

Even with disclosure, it’s still illegal to:
• ❌ Make false statements or omit key facts
• ❌ Use insider or non-public info
• ❌ Engage in manipulation schemes (spoofing, wash trades, fake posts)
• ❌ Coordinate with bad actors to tank or pump a stock

⸻

????So next time someone bashes or pumps a ticker without clear disclosure?

That’s a federal securities violation, not “just opinion.”
???? SEC & FINRA love evidence.

Ok let’s move on.

I’ll share evidence privately

Let’s just say it’s the short little brokers…..
