En zo gaat dat in de wereld. Er worden zelfs personen ingehuurd door beursgenoteerde bedrijven om fake news te schrijven. Betrapt door de SEC.
Seeking Alpha wordt hier op het AM forum ook nog weleens door deze en gene gekopieert.
SEC targets fake stock news on financial websites

(Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday announced a crackdown on alleged stock promotion schemes in which writers were secretly paid to post hundreds of bullish articles about public companies on financial websites.
Twenty-seven individuals and entities, including a Hollywood actress, were charged with misleading investors into believing they were reading "independent, unbiased analyses" on websites such as
Seeking Alpha, Benzinga and Wall Street Cheat Sheet.
The SEC said many writers used pseudonyms such as Equity Options Guru, The Swiss Trader, Trading Maven and Wonderful Wizard to hype stocks.
It said it found more than 450 problem articles, of which more than 250 falsely said the writers were not being paid.
