While I agree with you on some points, I'd be careful to avoid making it seem like Wick is involved in anything other than posting an e-mail that he/she received.
I'm not reading anything into anything. Just a feeling in my gut that says "OF COURSE Pawson will claim Rivzi isn't legit. What would he do e-mail back and say 'yeah, i got caught with my pants down while Rivzi bought enough to have a majority when I wasn't paying attention. I boned myself.' No, he'd claim the other guy is the fraud and he's the trustworthy one (despite mountains of past evidence sayign he's a fraud)."
In other words, I don't doubt that what Wick posted was really recived, but I do have my doubts that if it was from Pawson, or someone connected with him, they're being totally honest and forthcoming. I'm sure they'll do everything they can to create confusion.
