I've been an Evil Basher for much longer than CRGP's been around. I just didn't begin to follow it till after the FINRA halt.
I started in 1997. At the time, I was living in Italy. I got online in 1996, and quickly discovered Silicon Investor. There, I made some friends. We were all following normal stocks that were trading on the Nasdaq or the NYSE. But one day, somebody came across a company called Cashco (which quickly became Crashco, naturally) that had an interesting product mix: Y2K remediation software and kitty litter.
So we decided to take a quick look. It was MUCH more interesting than we'd anticipated. The woman who ran it had previously been involved in the Dimples Diapers scandal in British Columbia. Her boyfriend, who was also the company's IR guy, had done prison time for solicitation to commit murder. And so on...
We never looked back.
