Could you please show me where "Newton, at exactly the same time (as selling the discounted shares), was telling the public that the shares were worth dollars."
I don't remember any public statements along those lines.
If they were public statements, when did he say it and when did the shares actually get sold?
There are three ways of reacting to these facts; 1. Accepting that Newton is a liar and a cheat. 2. Refusing to accept facts. (Basically the definition of ignorance) 3. Privately accepting the facts but publicly moving forward, denying these facts in order to promote a private agenda.
So if anyone has any hope here at all they are either stupid or running a scam. Is that what you are saying?
