March 15, 2026, 10:05 PM EDT. HotCopper, a stock discussion forum, has removed several posts following legal action from Duncan Craib, the former managing director of uranium miner Boss Energy. Craib challenged eight allegedly defamatory posts made between July and August 2025 on the site, which has been linked to promoting shares through pump-and-dump schemes, where false or misleading information can artificially inflate stock prices. This move highlights the increasing scrutiny on online stock forums amid concerns over market manipulation and investor protection.
