A post on ShareProphets has lambasted Roger Lawson as a disgraced share ramper for selling shares in the poor-performing Monitise and fraudulent Globo without disclosing the sales to his followers, and ramping Blinkx without declaring a position. The post, which was shared more than 1,000 times, said that while he had been “caught red-handed” by the Securities Exchange Commission, it did not mean he should be prosecuted.
