Not lying, definitely hyping....
Fine enough difference to stay out of legal trouble, probably. If he stands to gain financially through his "tips", then it is bordering on manipulation, given his popularity. It is well known he has gained from some of his previous tips, though I do not KNOW he stands to gain here. And that in itself is a good thing, fine, I am a capitalist. Pass along good tips. No problem. Just that when you say patent, it means patent, not patent applied for. When you say 450 employees, it means today, working in your factory, not in some business plan you were shown or told about. When you gush about someone being the greatest optical engineer ever....give me a break...I have known the greatest, still know some really great, and none of them are the person of whom GG speaks!
Bottom line: what GG said was incorrect, sloppy, overly hyped, and definitely not worth any more of my time...did he make an "error in fact"? Only he knows, since he has still not responded to my request for full disclosure. Follow his advise as you will...IMO, it would be wise to assume he stands to gain financially from everything he says. Go ahead and listen, and then do some serious DD yourself...before you throw your money away...
