According to the OSC, neither site members nor Agoracom clients knew that Agoracom staff were posting anonymously on the user forums. As part of the company's investor relations services, clients received monthly reports detailing the number of posts made on the client's hub, and the number of shareholder inquiries received. Clients were not told that many of those posts were written, and inquiries made, by Agoracom representatives.
It appears from what I read is that their clients may have a class action case against them. If on the other hand they were profiting by pumping companies they had invested in that would be a matter for the OSC. I would hope that is not the case,.
