You've obviously put things together intelligently and thoroughly.
There's one item I find missing in your attacks---I suspect he doesn't give a crap! Losers tend to blow off conscience orientation and, instead, look over their bodies to make certain all limbs are there as originally endowed after skirmishes
My hunch is that he wakes up from a night of fairly restful slumber just as you or I will. He'll take a whizz, brush his teeth and shower. Then it's breakfast and whatever his day's lineup dictates.
Through it all, he is the only one who gets to decide upon his options and scheduling of activities. He remains in charge of his life.
Disappointed shareholders might overlook what it is to truly "win." You see, I invested and I lost. I've moved on to far more profitable ventures. But I've not forgotten that I, too, left blood on the field. And I check back here every so often as I am sympathetic to the cause. But I can't say for sure I continue to identify with those who can't swallow the reality that follows great pain.
You may have invested far more than I and it probably cuts more deeply, too. At the same time, Gerald is so clearly a loser in every sense---he shows no emotional tie-in with people. I sense he's an antisocial type pretending to care when, in fact, he may be just another bipolar zombie refusing to take his meds for he's smart enough and articulate enough to do it his way, so long as there's room to extract a few bucks from a process he created.
Perhaps he was honest once but I personally doubt it. More important is that I've been able to let go without fixating on it.
I wish I could be of help to you. Your service, while rooted partly in a search for nobility, has been severely compromised by the almost inhuman behaviors demonstrated by Gerald. He is not the lump in your throat and he's not going to do anything to provide you with relief. Yet you persist in your efforts to expose him.
However, your rants definitely helped me piece some critical things together and I'm in your debt for that. And I wish I could motivate you to try to let go of AMBS for a trial month as I believe it could bring you to ask yourself anew:
"What has it gotten me---? Nowhere with Nothing! Am I nuts or just another pissed off sucker? What am I doing? I'm doing what I've done for years and it's not worked. We know the definition of crazy and I can't let myself be so described."
Well, I was one o' dem dere suckahs. It's not such a heavy cross to bear, now that I'm out from under, and doing well in other investments. But I was trapped in my anger until I forcibly removed myself from this board. By participating, I was feeding into my own angst.
Good luck to you. It is so sad to witness your difficulty. And I suspect holdings in your other picks suffer for the attention you give to AMBS, knowing that nothing is going to change for there's nothing to force that change.
Still, I wish you the best.
