They have been barred from Non-disclosed dumping, that is, Finn twitters cannot sell stock they have promoted without informing their followers. They cannot delete the deed or remove evidence of their selling a stock promoted by them in order to build trust with followers.

They cannot flex implying financial advice, highlight dollar P & L, wealthy lifestyle, and victory lapping trades to convince followers to bank on their financial advice. Now onwards, fin twitters cannot show intent to pump. They can’t have a disclaimer but then say that tweets move securities or discuss their intent to move stocks or provide financial advice.

As per a key quote on disclaimers, “The defendants each included on their Twitter accounts that they were not providing stock recommendations or financial advice. But they intended for their followers to act on their promotional tweets and understood their followers would do so.”

The SEC specifically mentioned lifestyle pictures (most Lamborghini and mansions) denoting wealth as an implied ‘this is financial advice’. The SEC warns Finn twitters against privately discussing their scams or participating in group chats where they discuss profiting off their followers. These were heavily monitored, recorded and submitted to the SEC. The court filing repeatedly mentioned, “private chats ad surreptitiously recorded convos”.

Fin twitters have been denied to make outrageous claims or provide promotional price targets or ‘due diligence’ that suggests massive gains in a stock and then subsequently sold. For instance, if they’ve got a ten-year price target up 10,000% and dump five seconds later probably triggers it.

Every quote In the SEC docket highlights a tone privately or publicly suggesting I desire short-term gains and not fundamental due diligence or basic seriousness.

Never thought I’d actually see zack Morris get picked up by the feds. I truly believed he was gonna get away with it

So the SEC will charge Zack Morris, PJ Matlock, and company for manipulating stocks… but they won’t concern themselves with the hedge funds that are doing it on a scale that effects the entire market as a whole????
