IMO, if kbob did not file with the SEC, it was not required. He does not appear so ignorant to me as to have knowingly broken SEC rules, then post it to message boards. I think he has disclosed more than most do, but to take every statement as truth, then attempt to find discrepancies to disprove those same statements is getting some to chase their tails. Seems like a lot of assumptions, accusations, and requests for what I consider personal information to sort out perceived discrepancies.
I learned today that Oldblue buys AVBC low and sells on runs, but then comments that it was in 1998. That is just an example that we all know better than to believe everything you read or think you read here. I think you will see that you are only going to learn what others are willing to tell you, and you will never know the details of others private transactions. If you are shrewed enough to get someone to divulge a secret, they probably were not swift enough to have been involved in any complex scheme. Have you independently verified the 15 million shares statement? I dont think that is possible. If not, all is mute.
I dont find anything curious or related to your theory that he has violated SEC regs by participating in a syndicate and wanting to be director of this board. They seem related only in that he is an investor who enjoys chatting on the internet.
I dont find it interesting that the outspoken folk are posting here and not on RB at all about conspiracy theories born here. The usuall suspects are posting here, why on both boards. You imply that others on RB may be involved in "the syndicate"? I guess the only way to know is if those quiet for months since kbob has been posting suddenly decide to share their info with the world wide web and let us know.
IMO, if my financial advisor employed by my stock broker suggested to several of his clients to buy shares of a stock he himself has a part of ( and you know they get incentives for that sort of thing) and I bought less than 5% and not in violation of any other SEC reg., it is irrelevant what others are buying, even if in later conversation I am told the total was 15 million. I would merely report my sales to the IRS on April 15 like everyone else.
BTW, you could add to the pot the coincidence of the value of the preferred D to the 15 million shares during this time period. I suggest you will never know. Also the 144 stopped.
