The responsible investors must compete against the investors who run the illegal fraudulent test ads. This is not fair to the responsible investors. This includes myself and many other investors. All investors are required to run their business within the existing laws and play by the same rules.
This also brings a new perspective onto the damages resulting from the illegal fraudulent test ads.
