He’s defensive because your basically calling him a liar. He’s the one that clearly has mentioned he talked to Richard twice now.
Either you trust what he says or you don’t.
Obviously you don’t. Though I don’t see any reason for puffadder to lie.
Unless he was trying to dump shares to get out. Which the run to 3 cents last month ago was the time to bail which is when stockyard did. As lately there hasn’t been much volume traded and yet he’s still here.
If anything, it would be better for you to sell so those who still believe will get cheaper shares.
