Just in case you haven´t noticed, these spammers turn up on various hubs.
And they normally choose hubs that have high frequency, so that a lot of people read their spamming.
So you could argue exactly the opposite, Julie: to have spammers turn up on this hub is a positive sign !
But, and that´s the reason I reported your posting, it´s not ok to relate spamming on this hub to the company having "lied" to investors, which you implied with your rhetorical questions "Have we been had. Was it all a big lie? Was it a scam?" (quote JulieWarrenl).
That is soft bashing (if you want to be generous) and therefore not accepted here.
And if you ask me personally, it´s not the first time to read something like this from yourself on this and other forums.
