On an internet stock forum called Stockhouse, a poster with the username Borat139 posted a fake news story. He appears to have typed the fake news story all by himself. I'm sure that his mom is really proud of her son's ability to write a short story.
It appears that Borat139 was attempting to impact the share price of Ascent Industries Corp. CSE:ASNT ("Ascent" or the "Company"). Some forum members speculate that Borat139 is being paid to post false news stories and negative comments as part of a campaign to bring down the share price for ASNT. At the very least this kind of behavior is frowned upon in the investment community.
When asked about his ridiculous fake new story the poster had this to say: "I'm just posting what I found on the net..." and later on "Would you please stop talking as if it is the 1960's?" Clearly, Borat has no credibility. But one wonders why he would go to such lengths to pretend that his intentions and fake news article were genuine.
So we'll leave it to our readers to decide. Is Borat139 being paid to post the garbage or is he just an average internet troll?
