RE:Leaking information The TSX-V is well known for unscrupulous backdoor information leaks, insider trading, and poor governance and oversight. I have no doubts info was leaked, that's the risk you take with these small caps. It shouldn't be the case, but these issues have existed for years, and it seems to be dealt with on a case by case basis.
I wouldn't be surprised if the market regulators lacked the resources and personnel to adequately monitor such activity.
