Doubtlessly a lot of people make a lot of money -- on EITHER side of trades. I believe investing is about making money.

I have not been convinced the company is fraudulent.
I am also not convinced a shorter of his ilk is not behind "Hefin International."
If you have really done 1000 investigations that is an impressive record and I congratulate you and thank you for your service, sincerely.
