Possible Fraud Alert – THEY'RE BACK!
Good luck eradicating what appears to be yet another edition of a Whac-A-Mole of stock market fraud. The question: How does Meta allow it to continue?

And if for some reason he disappears, oh – don’t worry! – there are more where that one came from…
Which begs the question: With all the trillions Meta is spending on AI, you’d think they could use their own AI program to ferret out this kind seemingly pump-and-dump activity. Anyway, I have better things to do than chase this down, but I figured many of you would enjoy it.
