I don't think an anonymous write up about a visit with one person involved with Auryn at the time the stock is slowly sinking, convinces me of anything, other than insiders and large shareholders (particularly the one who met Mr. Cordova) in a panic.
At least when Les pumps it, the information can be attributed to someone real, even if it sounds false.
As Warren Buffet put it, “Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.”. A possible single meeting impression of the CEO of Auryn is a pretty small leak, IMHO, especially given how many GREAT things I heard about JJ years ago from MANY people who claimed to know him personally.
