This still doesn't explain the level of reaction, imo.
It's at a level that marks this board as an exception
to the kind of discussion seen on other pink boards.

It would explain why I'm not heavily invested in IDWD.
It would explain why I would be using profit/house money.

Shadenfreude would be a closer explanation.

My guess is there's a feeling that a viable target
to focus anger on for losses and injustices felt
personally is available. Downs is a convicted felon
and an easier target to focus on.

It's a weak hypothesis to say Downs is guilty now
because he was guilty then. That is to say he's guilty
until proven innocent. That doesn't work.

It's a good hypothesis to say there's a personal connection
and someone close is seen as a current victim of Downs.

It's a good hypothesis to say there's similar factors
as the previous situation that indicate it very likely
the same thing is happening again. This still requires
factual evidence to convict Downs again.

It still doesn't explain why if IDWD keeps proving
to be a viable investment to buy on dips and sell on
highs, why someone would crusade to stop this. Such a
crusade is more likely to induce more investment than
to detract from it. It makes the crusader appear as
sour grapes and undermines their goal.

As a long investment, considering all the facts involved
to date, it's as high risk as I've previously stated.
That's the nature of a pink, IDWD is no exception.

I believe Downs isn't viewed as a big factor due to HLS.
If the current success of HLS could be proven or disproven,
that would go a long way to determine the viability
of IDWD as an investment.

My opinion is just that, my opinion.
So make no investment decisions based on my opinion.
