not if you have enough money to get in first. The scam comes later, when the IPO buyers sell it

Why is Facebook going public? Because they couldn't figure out the privacy settings either.

Financial know-nothings whining about their failure to see the obvious? Please. Like Doug RR said, this was smart money selling to dumb money. The lawsuits will go nowhere and yield nothing but millions in legal fees. The only people who have a shot at recouping their "investment" are the people suing NASDAQ over trading problems.

i'm pretty sure something illegal took place, but good luck getting them to pay for it.

If they put Crowdsurge on it, they'd find the culprit!
