To be fair, what I know of Roland is that he doesn't have a bogus bone in his body. He's passionate abouthis investment and an activist shareholder. He has a life beyond Ocata, but when people feel ripped off, some do something about it, some accept it, others make fun of others misfortune. He did say there were 250-300 people that emailed him, but also consider most of these emails either contained whole family and friend counts or multiple individuals holding shares. Sure, some could've been bogus, but anyone taking the time to email him false counts truly needs a hobby. I trust what he reported. Most people that sold also reported that and the totals were taken off of his count. In what is being called a bogus total, were also all of the iCell members as well, so saying 15,000 ÷ 300 isn't being fair. I believe there are over 1000 iCell member alone. They aren't included in the emails.
As for him having an exact number, as each person reported, he either added or subtracted accordingly, what's so hard to believe that he kept a running total? He was keeping a running total of shares, not email addresses, so why is it hard to believe he needs to estimate the number of emails he got?
This is manipulating a story and glorifying negatives to make it seem less believable. It's my choice to believe what he has posted and not that he took time to make this up. That's preposterous. If the totals don't jive with what should be out there, I'd be more concerned with shares that were naked shorted, then tendered. That's more believable than Roland inventing this share count.
