I could claim I built a rocket in my back yard and offer to sell flights to the moon in it.  Obviously noone would fall for it - so by usagi's definition I wouldn't be a scammer as there was no victim and no damages.

By everyone else's definition I'd be a scammer - just a very bad one who was never going to make a profit from his unsuccessful scams.  A scam is a fraudulent business scheme - there's no requirement for it to actually succeed in defrauding anyone for it to be a scam.

Usagi claimed in one of their deleted threads that CPA was on the verge of collapse which then caused the price to tank. If that isnt manipulating the share price then what is ?

I wouldn't be surprised if said user was using stolen information, such as a SSN to make all these accounts. Why else would he blatantly bastardize his own name? Regardless enough heat on the name should bring some action sooner or later.

To be clear - are you saying someone who wasn't an investor can't point out scamming?

It's an interesting perspective to take that if a victim doesn't realise they've been victimised noone else should point it out.

Makes it somewhat of a miracle that anyone ever gets convicted of murder - as I've yet to hear about a murder victim come forward and register a complaint.

Getting back to the point, are you saying that I shouldn't PM you any evidence (I have never purchased any assets issued by usagi - despite day-trading on dozens of different GLBSE assets).  Should I type it up and advertise it in Securities forum and see if any investor wants to PM it to you?

Certainly an interesting spin on things that only victims have useful evidence - and everyone else should do their best three wise monkeys impression.
