That's a gross misrepresentation of the situation.
A more accurate and honest description is this:
- The SEC has published a detailed report, based on their thorough and careful investigation of JBII, explaining why they are convinced that JBII and Bordynuik have committed securities fraud and accounting fraud.
- In the course their investigation, the SEC went over every detail of JBI's finances and business, and hence did significantly more DD than what would be even close to possible for any investor.
- Based on what they learned, the SEC decided to sue JBI and Bordynuik on multiple violations of securities fraud and accounting fraud.
- Additionally, an independent CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner, with +30yrs experience investigating accounting fraud, has explained in detail in his new book why he is certain that the SEC is correct.
However, some JBI investors are insisting that this is a reasonable argument: "Everyone should ignore all of the evidence, analysis, and logic, made publicly available by the SEC and an independent Certified Fraud Examiner, because they are just "allegations". All of the detailed analysis, mountain of evidence, and expert-opinion, should be completely disregarded until a court has made a decision"
This is, of course, an absurd argument. The information published by the SEC is likely the most accurate public information available about JBI and John Bordynuik. A reasonable person would weight this information heavily.
Certainly more heavily than unfounded rumors bandied around certain echo chambers, or JBI's opaque and inaccurate information they put out while they're desperately trying to raise cash.
