SEC Suspends trading in marijuana stock WebXU $WBXU

This morning the SEC suspended trading in WebXU (WBXU), a perennial pump and dump and new hemp company. This is the eighth suspension of a marijuana-related stock this year (the most recent suspension was of FRTD). WBXU was most recently promoted by StockMarketProfessor.com on May 22nd; see quote from disclaimer:

Stockmarketprofessor.com has been compensated up to Seven-Thousand Dollars Cash via bank wire transfer by a third party (Eden Media Group, LLC) for a 1 Day Marketing Program regarding WBXU.

The first compensated pump email I received on WBXU was from Awesomepennypick.com on March 29th, 2013.
