To be paid his posts would need to have an effect so someone could make money from it. Im not one to believe that posts on hotcopper move the market, no one with market moving money is going to be basing $100k AUD+ decisions on a hotcopper post.

Need to actually think of the mechanics behind it if you want to make that claim hes paid for it, and it doesnt add up when you look at the mechanics. In the months he was posting on hotcopper was when the share price was trading 2.2-2.3 everyday, talking around the same price level for months, there was hardly any volume going through at all, so big players arent getting filled, infact I was getting filled at 2.2 a lot so it wasnt brokers or him infront of queue, it was retail traders like myself.

Hes just a sad case, no need to go further than that.
