4k9p,
Did DP ever publicly acknowledge (or deny) making that statement to you? If so, can you point me to that, please?
Also, I have not seen any indication that an informal investigation preceded the formal investigation, yet I believe that to be the norm. While it would be unusual for such a thing to be made public, it would be no less unusual than someone directing a reporter to write an article about a company under informal investigation and that fact being reported to David Patch who then reported it to you. Were you made aware at any point that an informal investigation occurred?
Who wanted to see the article in the Post? Given that the first article appeared after the auditor and late filing issues had already sent the stock down significantly, what would the motivation have been for that party to pile on? Was it to create a shorting opportunity or a buying opportunity or both?
Does the sum of your information begin and end with your statement that "i was told by DP that kaja was directed to write that first article"?
I'm not a big fan of coincidence either. Or conjecture, for that matter.
