No, I was never contacted and I doubt I would have been able to add anything of interest. My involvement with RVGD came after the CEO realized Carnes was not a positive influence. The whole reason I was retained was because he wanted Carnes/Kistler out of the picture. I gave the CEO my opinions on matters he brought to my attention, but in all honesty, my involvement was limited to just providing an outsourced IR service. Pretty much just a glorified answering service. I was mainly being paid for my "popularity" at the time. The whole fiasco damaged some of that popularity, but the general knowledge I gained from it far outweighed what a few amateur penny traders thought of me.
I know that whatever Carnes was up too was really upsetting the CEO of RVGD personally. It was a sad situation really. The shareholders became very hostile, but trying to explain the situation doesn't do any good when the majority of them are inexperienced amateurs at best. It was like trying to have adult conversation with a 2 year old. The message boards only inflamed the emotions..
I'm just glad to see justice being served.
