I have gone back through several of your posts and I am having a hard time finding any "evidence" that doesn't require much more context and/or are not huge leaps of logic with little support. I was bought into VPLM on the advice of DB and I couldn't be happier. I know he is not paid to promote this (I will give you $10,000 right now if you can prove that to be true), but I know he believes in the story. He probably told me ten times before I bought any VPLM that the whole thing could blow up and be worthless. In order to get into this stock one needs to be very intentional and do a lot of work. The idea that someone would do that on a whim seems outlandish. As time has passed (I bought my first shares in 2017) I have become more convinced that there is something here. In my business there can be a lot of legal wrangling and there is always the specter of needing to take something to court should any of the players act in bad faith (which no one wants to do). What I see here is a number of very deep pocketed defendants who know that they fit that description (i.e. bad faith actors) while trying everything they can to wriggle off the hook and stay out of court. I don't, nor do any other people with brains, need DB or anyone else create an opinion or form a buying or selling decision VPLM, and no one should buy or sell anything unless they have satisfied themselves that a trade is in their best interests. Even if DB did sell some VPLM (which I am not conceding) with what you consider to be bad faith timing given "the rules according to Fung_Derf" it is not at all uncommon (especially when someone holds a significant position) that one might suggest to others that buying is a good idea while simultaneously selling off some of their position. For example, in 1986, my mom put $90k into the IPO for Microsoft, in 1998 she sold half of her position for $7million, while imploring my sister and me to jump in while we could. Had we done that we would have enjoyed another 20x investment. Sometimes it just makes sense to take some money on the table while letting the rest ride. For whatever it is worth, I don't think I know anyone who is as brutally honest as DB, even when it hurts him and he would be better served to let it be. There are only three people I have ever know that I would blindly trust to give me the unvarnished truth, whatever the cost of that truth might be to them personally, and DB is the one I would ask first. You are embarrassing yourself.
