Can a Leopard change its spots? Interesting as, no doubt, CDDD will turn out to be if Garratt and his cast of international backers are involved with its affairs, I'm not going to be tempted out of retirement. I'll wax nostalgic for a few minutes, and then, it's back to a different world for me. Garratt, historically, has been the front, or mouthpiece for a network of players ~ from Roger Leopard (Switzerland), to Stratton S.A. (of Uruguay), to Graham Ferguson Lacey (Ireland to Miami to Bermuda to you-name-it) and others, each with their own scandalous trail. Public companies associated with Garratt et al have generally been engaged in hyping new and "revolutionary" technologies or elements and have been routinely characterized by share price manipulation that goes hand-in-glove with misleading and false public disclosure. From a teacher's credit union pension fund in Australia, to a superannuation fund in the West Midlands of England, institutions have taken an unnatural liking to the bogus and inflated stocks promoted by these players ~ inevitably to the financial detriment of pensioners and/or investors. It's a familiar pattern ~ and unless these ol' dogs have learned new tricks, they have a pretty colourful, but pedestrian and predictable, approach to the stock racket. Clair Calvert was formerly a key, Vancouver-based, stock-broker handling the rigged trading in Garratt-fronted stocks. I haven't followed either of these characters since the mid-1990s, but their names appearing in connection with CDDD, well, it's like watching a familiar movie... Who knows, though, they may not be within a million miles of this company. Based upon their track record, the public can only hope!
