Wacky stock brockers at it again...
Remember those news aggregators I posted about a little while ago? The ones that I was concerned might end up being lowest common denominator? One of the big ones www.digg.com, has ended up being used for even more nefarious purposes then I would have imagined.

It seems some stock brokers may be trying to manipulate stock prices by falsely linking to an unaccredited article about Google buying Sun. Luckily the self-regulation of these sites seemed to work as they were caught. It does make one wonder about what sources they can trust, and how often things like this go by unnoticed.
