I think you're right, we're comparing a legitimate Junior Gold CO, to a company just PRIOR to the scam.
I think Hog said what needed to be said in his post.
I was simply supporting what he said, and also adding some facts, such as the price of gold at the time, the price the shares went to, and the huge potential they said they had.
As far as your comments about people making money, I totally disagree! If people took profits on the way up, how did they know it would be a scam? All the power to them, if they did not know, and how would they?
NOW, if people were shorting the stock near the top, well, you have a different case? Maybe they did know, and ya, that would be dirty (IMO)!
