They were/are absolutely full of crap and the only folks who fell for their misleading statements were those who were here on a get-rich-quick endeavor. In other words, speculators who did no research into the history of FnF. On a positive note, it was those times that FnF were hammered down into the dollar range that allowed "believers" to average down. The blocks I picked up in January were quite helpful... that and the bonus of them being held in my Roth. :)
