Relates to this article from April: www.biospace.com/News/sec-cracks-down-on-fake-biotech-news/452343/source=TopBreaking"On Monday, the SEC took action against 27 individuals and entities, including four biotech companies, behind various alleged stock promotion schemes that the commission said left investors with the impression “they were reading independent, unbiased analyses on investing websites.” In reality, the SEC said website writers were being secretly compensated for touting company stocks."

I was hoping they would go after folks that were shorting stocks as well and then posting negative articles. It works both ways. There is pump and dump. But also short and troll. One can only hope that the SEC goes after the short scams as well.

I wonder if the SEC will disclose the pen names of the authors who allegedly wrote fraudulent articles or the investment analyst sites where they were published.
I also wonder if the SEC ever brings charges against companies who hire writers to bash a competitor.

We are all thinking of one person in particular Spencer Osbourn .. We all know he is on the take even though he states he is not invested in MNKD he is more then likely getting paid secretly probably by big pharma or shorts. All of his articles are one sided very negative MNKD even when something good happens he spins it negatively . Who is he fooling? Evidently there are many proboards posters who insist he is only telling the facts and is not spinning anything negative MNKD. This thinking means one of 2 things their agenda is to also spread fud to lower the stock price for their short positions or they have their head in the sand and are not very bright. I hope the SEC is also watching Spencer and that we will soon hear the great news of him being arrested and jailed because him stating he has no position in MNKD is false, you don't have to have any stock to be in a position to make money from shorts writing Fud. I'm sure if he was investigated they could follow the money trail. The last time I read one of his articles I commented saying ( hey spencer how come you never mention all the good things happening at MNKD ) and my coment was deleted. I think SA also needs to be investigated! They should be held responsible for any false or misleading articles written on there site. This is great news Sports and Mike tweeting it speakers volumes of what's on his mind but I'm waiting for the day when the SEC opens their eyes and looks at MNKD.

It is difficult to pick on Spencer because from what I have seen his projections look accurate, certainly more accurate than mine (I thought we would be back at Sanofi peaks after a couple of months). As for why he does it - I suspect that has to do with enjoying the argument rather than any mythical cash payment. I always read his articles because I want to hear both sides of an argument and not to live in an echo chamber.

Are his constant "negative" articles annoying? Possibly. Are they false or misleading? I don't believe so. His cash analysis is basically right on and again nobody has any realistic idea of where cash is coming from. Where has George Rho been? People hailed him because he was about as bullish as you can get on MNKD. He wrote about how cheap MNKD shares were in November of 2014 if you bought then you would be down 96%. It works both ways people.

Now that CNN has changed their tag line to, "Holy Crap, We're All Going to Die", maybe Seeking Alpha should use a variation of CNN's former logo, "The Most Trusted Name in Wall Street Corruption!"

Sites like SeekingAlpha are protected by their legal disclaimer, which basically states that they are not responsible for the accuracy of content published on their sites. The SEC can go after the authors who, I believe, are required to state whether they have any financial interest in the companies they write about. If any of them ARE paid to bash a competitor, that would legally constitute a financial interest. Proving it? That's another matter entirely.

So saying a group of proboards members are either lying (not really shareholders but instead shorting) or they are stupid... is that perfectly acceptable behavior here? Is this two wrongs with an "or" makes a right? Guess the SEC isn't the only place where rules are ignored.

I also wonder if the SEC ever brings charges against companies who hire writers to bash a competitor. At least some of this information is available in the SEC documents posted at the link found in the OP. Click on the names of the people charged at the bottom. www.pubcoceo.com/single-post/2017/04/12/27-Firms-and-Individuals-Charged-With-Fraudulent-Promotion-of-StocksAdmittedly, there is a lot to read for limited information. But names of sites and some pen names / pseudonyms (like 'The Swiss Trader') are given.

So I have to wonder why absolutely no one publishes positive articles in support of MNKD on SA anymore.
A year or so back, IIRC, there used to be as many positive articles as there were neutral or negative ones. By at least, IIRC, 3 or 4 (presumably) different pro-MNKD authors. What happened?
Even if those authors gave up, I'm sure someone here could do a good job at a positive article.
