I know of George Coates past and did a great deal of due diligence already on him.
Although I am not standing up for GC and saying he is an upstanding citizen, the important thing to remember is that his mind and knowledge may be worth more to me than his honesty.
Just because he did something wrong or illegal, does not mean he can not make and manufacturer an engine and generate sales and profit.
I dont care what he did and his actions were not bad enough for the SEC to ban him being involved with a public company. As for Coates stock, if he makes an angine that is good, his personality, presence, and all the other things about him personally will not matter.
What matters is that someone very large will probably buy Coates and that is where I and all other shareholders will make money.
As for him being honest with me - He will know my name and who I am.
I will respectfully warn him that lies from an officer of a public company are illegal and there are many ramifications.
I have no intentions of being disrespectful or 'showing toughness' but my presence and kind & articulate words send a very strong message that can not be misunderstood.
I dont tolerate lies and I do take it very personal.
