I know who the “friend” in question is, and while I definitely don’t trust them, they certainly were long and a strong proponent of IPIX in former times with a certain amount of what appeared to be genuine insider knowledge.
Now he or she is very decidedly anti-Leo and accuses him and his son of siphoning off IPIX’ assets before bankruptcy is declared.
Nothing about Ehrlich’s behavior or radio silence contradicts this person’s account of current IPIX events.
