Not quite black and white

It's an old story with a new twist. A few days ago, SEBI passed an order against a group of people manipulating stock prices to make profits for themselves. The SEBI order shows in great detail that this was done for the scrip of a company named Sadhna Broadcast, in collusion with the promoters of the company. This is the oldest game on the stock markets. Spread the word that certain stocks were great buys, having already bought large amounts and colluded with the promoters. Jack up the price, sell and exit. Nothing new. However, what is new is the intense and methodical use of digital media. In this case, the gang ran two YouTube channels and spent at least Rs 4.72 crore to advertise and promote the channel through Google's advertising service. Accord
