Here is a sample of this item:
by Mike Caswell
John Icke, the chairman of Cue Resources Ltd., may soon learn the identity of a Stockhouse poster who wrote that Mr. Icke committed extortion in Paraguay. According to filings in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the person responsible used an IP address at Canaccord Genuity Corp., and Canaccord has agreed to provide that person's name.
Icke sues Stockhouse
Mr. Icke has been trying to identify the poster since Oct. 6, 2010, when he filed a notice of claim against Stockhouse Publishing Inc., asking for the IP address of a user called scuba2223. In the suit, he said that scuba2223 wrote the following post on Aug. 27, 2010: "Paraguayan Authorities are looking for John Icke regarding Cue Resources. The news said he is involved in stealing documents and extorsion [sic]!" The message had a header which read, "Paraguay going after John Icke."
Mr. Icke said he learned about the post three days after it appeared. He immediately asked Stockhouse to remove it, which the website did. He complained that the post was untrue and that it damaged his reputation by implying that he was involved in criminal conduct.
The remainder is available to Stockwatch subscribers.

You go, John.
While in a litigious mode, might not a keen lawyer be contacted to go after Sedar, Sedi, the TSX, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Stockwatch, Stockhouse, Yahoo and even Resinco Capital Partners?
The above, and undoubtedly many more, incorrectly refer to Resinco® Capital Partners Inc under various renditions of Resinco Capital Partners Inc, Resinco Capital Partners, etc., therefore undoubtedly depriving Resinco® of the brand recognition which should naturally have accrued from the carefully considered and nurtured corporate renaming...which was likely expected to spiral RIN’s share price upwards.
RIN has been somewhat flat, post-November 30, 2009, and its investments in various companies have probably not performed to Resinco’s® expectations.
Might not these companies be encouraged to join with Resinco® in a class-action lawsuit? That could be a win, win for these companies, their shareholders (of which Resinco® is one) and RIN’s shareholders.

People should just post from Internet Cafes on DHCP allocated WIFI addresses, it will make it impossible for penny stock crooks to carry out their "legal bullying" tactics to silence those who know the truth. Exposing fraud is the honorable and responsible thing to do.

I post from a neighbourhood wifi on my netbook, there are a dozen or so unsecured networks that are available within one block. It would be funny to watch these dofus megalomaniac sleezebags spend massive legal fees on wild IP goose chases. They are old school idiots! They should just give up their last century scamming tactics and be honest for once in their miserable rotten lives!

Stockhouse is poison, user's are forced out because back stabbing operators. No wonder that website is dying. The least Stockhouse could have done was to force the megalomaniac through the legal system!

Mr. Bob Dofus, CEO of Extortion Inc. (SCAM.PK) launches $900,000 against IP address located at Cactus Club, Burrard-at-Dunsmuir, Bentall Five, Vancouver, BC. The lawsuit alleges message board posts were made from the said IP address calling him "ignorant, stupid and a thief". Mr. Dofus claims he no longer can frequent downtown establishments without being the source of ridicule and is seeking damages to his otherwise upstanding reputation on Howe Street.

doesn't matter if the alledged offending remarks came right from peter brown's own computer. all the better for the perpetrator that it was a brokerage firm with hundreds of employees. it can never be proven it was the person who owns the computer actually published, wrote or posted the material
don't get all excited yet.
it is unfortunate however that public companies are able to scam the world at will and stockhouse management do everything they can to prohibit their own subscribers from posting complaints.
they have no right to consider themselves journalists as they have no ethics whatsoever

Megalomania is a word defined as:
1. A psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence.
2. An obsession with grandiose or extravagant things or actions.
Unfortunately junior capital markets are full of this type in addition to the classic sociopath who is usually engaged in stock promotion.

It's interesting, it seems everyone who posted so far is a scumbag broker or someone from Canaccord.
Posted by Bob at 2011-01-21 01:43
You got that right, there are no clients left, only sharks feeding on sharks.
Posted by Cannibal at 2011-01-21 02:06
That's funny since a Canaccord broker owns a piece (or used to own a piece?) of Stockwatch too.

I hope to see many of these lawsuits because the libelous and defamatory comments without proof and or merits do not add anything and only causes damages. I hope this all stops and we can discuss real issues in these boards.
Posted by Libelous Bastards at 2011-01-21 13:17
What damages? There's like 10 people who participate on these boards, hardly anyone cares about penny stock anymore. Besides, there's usually some grain to truth behind such postings and these forums are the only means for average raped investors to express themselves.

So how do you gentlemen think that posters who go onto stockhouse and stockwatch and outright lie, make up stories and other stuff should be dealt with. They can't be banned as they just comeback under a different name. So whats the solution to dealing with these characters.
Remember a lot of them are trying to short the stock, or drive the price down to get a lower private placement price or other ways of making money by lying. We need a proper quick and easy way to handle both sides of the debate not just one side. The companies that do it have scurtiny by the TSX, who scrutinizes these characters.

Not defending Scuba's comments. Just how smart is that to say something like that on your own companies internet address. On the other hand, you see a lot B.S. posted by people pumping stocks in Stockhouse. It would be nice to see the table turned sometime and the Securities Commission do their own IP trace. Of prominent posters who are pumping a particular company in chat rooms. I bet the results might be very revealing and in a lot of cases the trail would lead right back to the companies or some employees home IP address. And I bet you would see a lot of posters scattering for the exit in Stockhouse.
Sounds like Scuba and Mr. Icke are two people that deserve each other. Good luck to them both.

RE "penny stock crooks to carry out their "legal bullying" tactics to silence those who know the truth."
The bully is you, a faceless coward hiding behind anominity to yodel ridiculous accusations and anything else that comes to your empty head, yet you have nothing to support your 'Forward Looking or Safe Harbour Statement.' It is unfortunate that the poster does not have to adhere to the same rules, a Public Company must be prepared to back up any statement that they put into print. With any luck, that may change.
Here! Here! to;
"I hope to see many of these lawsuits because the libelous and defamatory comments without proof and or merits do not add anything and only causes damages. I hope this all stops and we can discuss real issues in these boards."
Amen Brother.

Who re you trying to kid? 99% of all penny stocks are nothing but pump and dumps for the benefit of insiders with cleverly worded news releases that barely keep these perps out of jail! Its all about selling dreams on paper to the stupid, ignorant and gullible.

Stop ripping people off, then there's nothing to expose on the Internet!

Here's a novel idea, get the BCSC to actually launch or even enforce an action with penalties that are relevant and do not look like window dressing. If we had a system that actually worked and was not corrupted by "communist pinkos" then we wouldn't have to post on SH and SW. But sad to say that's not the real world. The only silver lining in all this is the BCSC will be gone in the next few years from what I heard.
