If I recall correctly there is a recent example where someone on a message board started started a vicious rumor (stated as fact) about a well known company that he had a short position in. He was caught and prosecuted.
Of course, when someone starts pumping MESA on GenericAirline Messageboard.com, there are bound to be a few skeptics. No worries.
