I do find Pugs funny, because he's so stupid. But I also find him--and his craven followers like Kuhns--sinister. There's nothing they won't say to justify their own contemptible behavior. Pugs and Riley hyped the hell outta RMIL, TSIG, AWLT, AZNT, and several other stocks whose names and tickers I forget. All were disasters. Do they feel bad about this? Do they accept any blame for what happened to shareholders who believed their lies? Nah. It's all the fault of the Evil Bashers. Really. Pugs and Riley are despicable. Fascinating that they cast themselves as Heroes. No one listens to them, except for a couple remaining braindead fans. None of the "authorities" to whom they send hundreds, if not thousands, of imbecilic messages pays any attention to them. (Well, I do believe that in the case of Pugs and AZNT, attention has been paid, but not the kind any normal person would wish for.) Never mind the journalists. Riley used to send out bulk email to half the financial reporters on the North American Continent. I don't know whether he still does; haven't received any of late. But in the past I have heard from several of his targets that no matter how rude they are to him, he won't stop emailing. The hell is WRONG with him? Another funny: after the publication of the Fortune article in which I was featured last fall, "someone" sent them a 20-page letter, really hysterical stuff about what an Awful Person I was. They didn't tell me who wrote it, but did say they laughed themselves silly. Bet it was Pugs. I don't know what policy Fortune has about that sort of thing, but it's entirely possible that Pugs got an automated reply saying: "Thank you for your interest in our recent article. We appreciate your comments and will take them under consideration". Snicker. In my non-capacity as FBNA IR director, I wrote that stuff all the time. You can imagine how the "Authorities" feel about Pugs and Riley by now...
