I was totally disappointed when I heard TUT's voice. Like reading a great book and than going to watch the made for TV movie and hate it, ruining the storyline. I preferred my fantasy guy when I read TUT's posts. Any kind of an accent other than some southern alabama or georgia accent ( not that there is anything WRONG with those accents!) but after speaking in tongues, I wanted so much more. Think the guy sounded a bit emphysemic as well...but maybe when you are a thousand years old you would be short of breath. He obviously did know Mike Alexander - with the yahoo greetings to each other. Mike had admitted he knew TUT to others on HSM as well.
Perhaps one of the original investors with FHAL?FURIA?
I do think at times he did just want to help the people out at HSM - he did say they didn't know that much about investing and he just wanted to point them in the right direction. I didn't agree with him telling people to get their certs and explaining to them hthat Chinese Wall market manipulation scenario. He said more than once that Rufus couldn't tell the shareholders how to do it, so he was doing it. Apparently he was pretty friendly with Ben as well. I also have a few posts that I thought were borderline disclosing some insider info. Just guesses he said....but apparently when someone talks to Ben frequently it suggests they know a bit more than the general public.
Maybe TUT had a ghost writer? I don't think he came across a sharp as the guy leaving those cryptic messages.
There was a conflict of interest there. How is one to know this guy wasn't dumping into the runnups of those leaked PR's? Hey, sorry, I'm a skeptic!
Also I think it is bad form to be telling people to hold tight, promise stuff like the 10K/halt/reset any day for the past month and know that Waatle shareholders and Fhal 144's were selling their shares. Rufus said he didn't blame them. Well what about the people adding all along?
Maybe they should have used one of those speech/voice changers - like OZ - don't go behind that curtain!
