Does having a lying, self-promoting two-time convict and scumbag really help the investor community? Aren't there enough of those around already?

You know my opinion: On the aggregate, I think he did a lot more good than harm.

To the best of my knowledge, the only people he harmed were those harming others. Apparently that's not the case, according to the jury, and I'm really looking forward to learning the details.

But if someone tells me that the company I own is lying in its press releases, and it turns out they're right nearly or consistently every time they say such things, should I care that they're a "self-promoting... scumbag"?

To use an analogy, who would you rather have tell your kids about the dangers of marijuana? The guy who smoked bushels of it in his younger years, or the preacher who never took a hit in his life.
