Bingo, many were which were designed to get naive investor's money. Netscape started it all when the browser war started with Microsoft. The Jews knew that JavaScript would be the language of the web and Netscape had it implemented first whereas Microsoft was using JScript that was tainted with Com/ActiveX controls to implement much of their functionality. They knew once this was one that they would tank the stocks and completely stop developing JavaScript, JS. JS was only developed for 10 days and purposely left unfinished. The scammers made their money grow 700% in just 10 days leaving the naive swindled.
