To be fair, I don't think the services were fee-based until after this fiasco. What sort of alerts were sent out as part of that fee-based service after it started, though, I have no idea.
I also agree that, from a marketing standpoint, probably not great to start a fee service and advertise it immediately after this trainwreck of a pick. Maybe after a rebound pick or two, but not right after VCPS.
But again, to be fair, this was a great trading stock until that run into the .002s late this summer. Looking back, that must of been their attempt at bringing as many eyes to this thing as possible before they diluted the living horse's urine out of it.
At the end of the day, these crook VCPS officers hold 99.99% of the blame for this scam.
