I think if you read through the PRs, "scam" is not as unfair a characterization as you make it out to be. It's one thing when someone makes a deal or two that doesn't work out. It's another when every deal not only "doesn't work out", but ends up being nowhere close to being as it is described in PRs and filings.
This isn't a case of someone putting out a revenue projection of $10 million and only seeing it reach $8 million. It's more a case of someone saying $10 million and getting zero. Over and over again.

Calling it out does not mean I hate Larry. I don't know Larry, and I certainly don't hate him. I do however take exception with those who try to enrich themselves at the expense of others. Just because they are not successful does not make their actions honorable. Someone who robs a bank and gets caught in the act is not excused because they didn't get any money.

I for one am very glad there were people who posted honestly about the company and Larry here and were not blinded by either affection, greed or simply a pay check. Their service no doubt prevented some from losing a lot of money (me included).

Personally, I'm very tired of hearing "It wasn't Larry's fault". I do feel sorry for him, as I would for anyone who sees greed or incompetence ruin his life, but not as sorry as I do for those who believed the hype and through no fault of their own, lost significant sums of money.

"I should save my breath though, because the board doesn't seem interested in hearing anything that doesn't support seething hatred of the man and the company."

I don't know why you keep accusing posters here of; "seething hatred of the man and the company".

What we HATE is what he does over and over with UCHB as kezzek said; "It's more a case of someone saying $10 million and getting zero. Over and over again."

He pretends to buy into old depleted gold mines like the wickenburg mine that he, and his buddy in this FBI sting (Mellone), tried to pass off as a big money maker when everybody knew it was a SCAM. Mellone had just proven it, but no, Larry was going to make a killing!

Now his latest Montana sapphire and gold mine adventure followed the same path, just another 100+ year OLD gold and sapphire mine that was stated as 100+acres, since shrunk to 10 acres with 450,000 yds of mine tailings which are the materials left over after the process of separating the valuable fraction from the uneconomic fraction of an ore by the previous miners, who run a MOM and POP operation selling bags of gravel.

And now after over 10 years of doing these same type of deals over and over, and in light of his arrest by the FBI and SEC for FRAUD, along with his buddy Mellone, why would anyone think Larry was pulling a SCAM?????
