Ironside says Where There's Smoke, There's Fire
It started with a spark, and began to smolder. It is not difficult to see the smoke looming over the horizon.
The financial world is in a tailspin of sorts. Many denied their delegated duties , landing them between a rock and a hard place.
As these problems did not manifest overnight, they will not be corrected in a short period of time.
For many years, the magnitude of the problem was denied. As the evidence mounted suggesting otherwise, the scramble to mask the conundrum began.
Who could be successful against such a formidable foe?
A coordinated, united group of stockholders who refuse to fade away like those of the past. An alliance of voices who convey the message of solidarity to regulators and government officials ,"I am here to stay. I will not go away. You will answer to me."
For those who require frequent review, I submit we are not floating belly up inside the tank. The predators pursued the company relentlessly, with fatal intent, while benefiting from the misfortunes they inflicted on others.
The ploy fell short of the expected outcome. The baited hook was swallowed without forethought, making the hunter the hunted.
The blame game has commenced, with many playing the part of the victim. Their sins are not excused and must be rectified regardless of the scape goat.
The slowness of the process is understandably frustrating. This, however, is not the fault of the task force. They want this process concluded as much as anyone.
Realistically, each and every member of the task force could have walked away, washing their hands of this mess. They have admirably chosen to fight for each and every stockholder who purchased shares, while their army fights amongst themselves, and plots to thwart their progress.
The end of the journey will not come sooner with dissension in the ranks. It is imperative to recollect common objectives, progressing mutually towards your goal.
The task force has exceeded above and beyond their call of duty. I am certain this task has been an exhausting, often exasperating experience for them.
Please be gracious for the steps they have taken for your benefit. They have been very meticulous and thorough in their quest.
You have been given the unique opportunity to challenge the financial industry. It is your choice if you rise to this challenge or become yet another statistic.
When the task force was created, a NOBO list was in their possession. This information was reportedly obtained by some individuals, allegedly stockholders, who published this information for viewing. Many skeptics and individuals with ulterior motives offered novice critiques of the information.
With this list in hand, knowledgeable of what was required of them, why would the mailing be delayed? One would assume this would have been initiated in the beginning, resulting in certificates being received and tallied in an expedited manner.
Defiance relieves no one of responsibilities and obligations. To those plagued by denial and wishful thinking assuming we cannot achieve our goals, lick your calves over. Come hell or high water, we will make it. High road, low road, or no road ,a path to success will be made.
The final tune is being played. If you want to dance, you've got to pay the fiddler.
Stay united and Thy Will Be Done.
