shortsinthesand aka sandintheshorts - You've brought an old post here apparently to prove something about naked shorting but I don't see how it proves anything about the non-existence of naked shorting as detailed on the board here on SI where this issue is discussed in detail. Objectively, the post does not prove existence or non-existence. The first sentence clearly says that OTHER pinkies cry naked shorting. This comports with my comment that almost all pinkies use the excuse to hide their own dilution. I think I've been pretty consistent there. That post did not say that LFWK was naked shorted. The company was claiming this but that post did not say it was true or false. That post said nothing about LFWK claims about naked shorting. I'm not sure if I said things differently in other posts. The opinion and comment in that post was based on company public statements. You know that. You did the same thing on PHGI and you were PAID and disclaimed as a paid tout on PHGI. I'm just a regular poster who posted about a stock and gave opinions. Many, many did very well on LFWK and there was plenty of time for people to get out even after it was discovered that the management lied to shareholders. That doesn't mean naked shorting does not exist outside of pink sheet scams. In fact, as I suggested, go through the mounds of evidence detailed on my naked and manipulative shorting board (hedge funds, bashing, etc.) and you will see that you are wrong in claiming that naked shorting does not exist, and that's assuming anyone can figure out what you are saying. The rest of the post was based on company PR's and stated opinions. Clearly, as things went forward, the company management was lying. At the time of the post, I was merely paraphrasing the state of the argument in response to the post from Matt asking "What is the skinny?" You'll note that neither Matt nor anyone else responded to my post, either in agreement, disagreement or otherwise. It seems that most thought the post was pretty fair opinion of the state of the argument AT THE TIME OF THE POST. If others disagreed, including YOU, they would have posted a response or asked for more. The quoted post was a summary response, an opinion as requested, nothing more, nothing less. At the time, the company was claiming it was going to do a cash dividend. It was also claiming naked shorting, inside buying, etc. At that time, I didn't know they were lying. I didn't say any of those things were definite. Look at number one. I clearly said "possibly." Do you understand what is meant by "POSSIBLY?" You've done the same on PHGI when you were a PAID tout. Do you forget that you tried to stifle the discussion on that board? Then, when you weren't paid, you turned into a basher? I'm not saying you were wrong or did anything wrong. But, your posts were used to attack you and I think there were even threats against you and your family. At least, that's what you wrote I believe. Just as the attempts to attack you were wrong, you attempt to do the same thing with others who were not paid to post. Look at the end of my post Talk is cheap but putting all this in writing in a series of PR's is a very serious step with ramifications .... It's clear that I was commenting on the fact that the company put all this in writing. That was a serious step just as I wrote. As things turned out, the company management is in deep trouble because of this and what I said in that post turned out to be true. It was a serious step to put all that in writing by management. Recently you were posting positively about a company here on this board and elsewhere that was claiming to issue a cash dividend. I believe you posted here that it issued the cash dividend. I haven't been following, but apparently there is some problem with the cash dividend and it looks like the stock you were posting about positively may have been a scam????
