I disagree and am far from naive. Dean did alot of things wrong but this was never a scam or a P&D. Anyone who believes this is naive and unaware of the history here.
Dean did misuse monies and outright lie to many investors, but most of this was done with the belief on his part that funding would happen. He has been flying around by the seat of his pants, on our dime, spending OUR money frivilously without funding in hand. He should have never comitted any money to any acquisition until financing was completed.
Yes there probably are some very strong criminal cases that could be made against him but running a scam or a pump and dump scheme are not among these.
