    Default Conned, twice



    A crew of con men sold worthless penny stocks to people around the globe at pumped-up prices, then victimized the investors again by setting up a fake law firm that charged them to try to get their money back, federal authorities in New York said Tuesday.

    The international scheme generated more than $140 million, making it one of the largest penny stock fraud schemes in history, U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said at a news conference announcing an indictment charging nine defendants.

    Sounds like a pretty decent share trader/ lawyer impersonation to me.
    Like how hard is it to google and get the share-price yourself, if you can't even do that then you deserve to have the stock market take you to the cleaners
