A HONG Kong businessman, who sent tens of millions of unwanted e-mails to manipulate stock prices, pleaded guilty this week.
How Wai John Hui, 50, a resident of Hong Kong and Vancouver, was one of 11 people indicted early this year for trying to artificially pump up Chinese stock prices. He is the third to confess.
Hui was also the chief executive officer of China World Trade, which had its stock price pumped up as a result of the scam.
