One more comment, jennifur ...
"I suspect that Those who benefited by the hi/lo fluctuations of LOCH,aside from insiders & mgt, were mostly connected to the perps(including MM's)in the know. Others were simply lucky or sophisticated enough to recognize & catch P&D cycles."
Perhaps you don't know the close connection Starke & Co, aka Nigel Ramsay, had with one of Loch's biggest promoters and board hypesters, tomscheboy ("It'll be worth BILLIONS !!!!!!!!!!"), and how they both worked.
There's no "suspecting" at all. Without either one, I've often wondered if anyone would have ever even heard of Loch (and after their demise, cdex). They were a dream team made in daBeez' version of heaven, and they were aided by the likes of closertocash aka up&0 today -- he had much to lose and/or gain by loch breaking the pps sound barrier and he never let an opportunity go by, on any RB board, related or unrelated to Loch, without yelling and screaming his "enthusiasm." There were also the many "doc's" who pumped and hyped, at least one of them in exchange for a sizable helping of stock.
It's all documented, jennifur, along with a great deal more.
Now ... was MP the brains behind the whole thing, starting way back then? That, to me, is just about THE most interesting question. There are many others, but none of them come even close.
It's a tale not yet well told.
