No, he's right. Laidlaw doesn't own Ellicottville.
Barty's statement is still correct though. He said "his firm is still involved with the proposed power plant". He never said anything about owning it, the plant was proposed, never a reality, and with the ongoing litigation, he's still involved. Just not in the way it was depicted through the website, before it was removed, which is what the SEC's problem probably was.
Barty guilty of not being on top of his website & having outdated content: Yes Barty deliberately leaving outdated content on his website in order to scam potential investors into thinking that we own more than we really do, hoping that the scam can pump the pps: No
Here the misunderstanding lies. More of a momo move, probably being bogged down with so many different tasks at the moment and not even thinking about the details on his site. I remember before the site was updated to give it a more modern, clean feel, the site wasn't touched or updated for what had to be at least a year. Outdated info, no updates.
