I'm sure lawsuits will happen soon, the stock is up over 100% today and those wanting to cash out simply can't. Smh

    It's the pump that's going to get them. As much as I'd like to see the GME people start pushing OTC stocks, pumping there is going to get them in trouble and the stocks halted for a while. The whole thing is just a pump n dump basically with a short squeeze playing a role, right? They had better know what they could get into in the OTC....but, as long as you can flip in and out quickly before anything gets halted.....

    I use to trade the OTC stocks like this in the past, almost every OTC ticker sub penny is a pump and dump and they never got halted by the brokers before. Now the OTCMarkets/SEC would step in and halt a ticker but I never had the issue of the broker saying yep this one is halted due to pump and dump

    Yep, it's true, the broker doing it is a first for me too, when they allow it to be traded/have it on their platform.
