it's not necessarily lying, its more about overstating
ROFLMAO! now THERE is an "understatement" whitewash if i've ever heard one... and the idea that he "poured his soul into this" is more like he poured himself another drink at our expense. You correctly surmised that his statements are unprofessional. Not to mention they have been proven to be untrue in virtually every situation that he has made them.
If this keeps rising without lying to make it happen, no problem. But understand that every baloney line and quasi-blog will be met with the cold harsh light of reality.
You State Mike has poured his soul into this and it's not easy for anyone to listen to the tremendous critisim day in and day out.
I'm not at all making excuses for him. I support this company because it is trying something new and big. I completely distrust the USMarket. The MMs and Hedge Funds are thiefs. Ameritrade is full of s%$%@%. Not to mention, if MT pulls through, I stand to make a boat load of money!
