This was indeed a fairly decent wall of text, but still well worth the read. I didn’t realize these multi-layer scams went to this depth.

Also, it always seemed to me like listening to public trading advice and buying into a company at the same time as everyone else was a questionable proposition at best. Only so many would get the stock at a “good” price and everyone else was just buying in late anyways.

look into the problem with Jon Stewart and his episode on the stock market

I pulled up the video and will check it later. I look forward to hearing more about these issues.
