So Defkalion, it can be argued - could have improved on the basic "pump and dump" scam in many ways, but there may be no proof of that until it is too late . . .
It can be argued in what sense? Are you or are you not accusing people of criminal activities? Do you have any evidence for this? Is there some kind of connection between the GWE (Genesis World Energy) group and Defkalion?
Perhaps this entire discussion is hypothetical, and you are only saying that it is possible this is a scam. Or that there have been scams in the past that resembled this. It that is what you mean -- and you are NOT actually accusing anyone of anything -- please say so.
You seem to have no grasp how much trouble you might cause by publishing inflammatory false rumors about people. Libel will get them in trouble, and you in trouble, and possibly this entire forum in trouble.
Of course if you have information, that is another matter entirely. In that case you have a civic duty to contact authorities.
It is one thing to accuse Rossi, Levi, E&K of being incompetent as you have so often done. This is a science discussion forum, and you have every right to make such assertions. They can cause no harm to anything other than your reputation. Even if you are right, it is not against the law for scientists to make stupid mistakes. If it were, all scientists would be in jail. It is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MATTER for you to accuse people of conspiring to commit seriously unlawful acts involving huge sums of money.
This is a serious matter. Think it over before responding. - Jed
