Well, if it convinced enough mums and dads that buying at 5 cents was a good idea there might be issues down the track if the story was a fabrication. Hypothetically, if M&Ds put in $40 million and are now down 30% based on a false public statement by the managing director they could be a bit upset if Twiggy didn't put in a single cent ?
You'd have to consider the intent of the public statement in its context, and whether it was intended to mislead.
