    He has a picture of Chen. Chens title. Doesn't Kevin hold a share of BlackBerry stock?
    Would this not be a violation? Attempt to increase the value of BlackBerry stock by floating false information. Attempted manipulation?

    At the best it was childish for a big shot in a company that depends on BlackBerry to do and the least it's in bad taste.

    I've made my last purchase from Kevins company. No more. The respect has been worn down and out for him in my book.

    Has he responded to this himself?
    No. Not worth his time I guess.

    BlackBerry hates America!

    And people wonder why CrackBerry doesn't have contacts within the company or has to rely on other sites to break big stories.

    You have to give respect to get it.

    As long as it is within the parody standard that is OK. Investors should never rely on twitter.

    The Tweet was posted at 4:40 stock surged before that. Close thread.
    The tweet was interpreted by some as confirmation of the rumor by the CEO. Re-open thread.

    How on earth is this being debated on this forum?

    The tweet was so clearly a joke, so clearly from a parody account and so clearly a lighthearted reaction to the news story!

    Jeesh!

    Agree that this is not cool as a parody. Not only using Chen's real name and official photo, but also using the real job title and company name without permission....he should try to spoof Tim Cook / Apple in the same way and see how long it takes to have a dozen lawyers so deeply up his azz he can't sit down. My bet would be minutes, hours tops.

    That being said, this Tweet didn't affect share prices...I think Reuters took care of that already.

    IIRC, Tim Cook has several parody accounts.

    I read in a PR handbook that parody accounts are actually an enviable measure of influence.

    If I had to guess, I'd say JC himself is not nearly as enranged as some of us.

    Why is it everything is all happy and fun until the lawyers get involved???

    You know, the CB lawyers. Never satisfied and always looking for a target to gather torches and pitchforks against.
