Great letter and effort, Lew ... Now we'll start finding out how high this journalistic corruption goes ... I'm sure we'll all be looking forward to hearing if Mr. Bloomberg has any ethics ... or is just another Diogenes who's lamp has gone out!

I would like to express my gratitude for your efforts to "head 'em off at the pass". I just hope your letter doesn't get lost among the deluge of market crash-oriented copy at Bloomberg... *JDM* Long John

Lew, Well done. Maybe IPM's lawyers need to look into this matter. I hope you are keeping in touch with the company with your research.

"The drilling, processing, transportation and lab selection for the assay work I mention were all done under the joint and constant security of two of the worlds most prestigious mining engineering firms: Behre Dolbear and Bateman. Banks have loaned billions on BD's reserve calculations. Bateman..." I am sure Mr. Bloomberg took you seriously. Based on the above quote I would ask you to reconsider your position about the situation. Do you really believe or have evidence that any banks have lent money on this? Is this not what is called prevarication? And why would you be concerned about shorts when this "good" news is about to come out. News will always accumulate shorts. Its a market tradition. What damage would this article cause? echarter@vianet.on.ca

Rock on Lew! Such a letter should give Bloomberg pause, for a number of reasons: 1. You have put him on notice that some of the "info" Steffy is about to report, and Bloomberg is about to publish, is false. To ignore your letter and publish anyway, without investigating whether the info is actually false, would probably satisfy the New York Times "constitutional malice" std for defamation (i.e. reckless disregard for whether the info is true or false). So, he kinda has to make some inquiry now. 2. You have also put Bloomberg on notice that one of his employees, Steffy, is engaging in a conspiracy to manipulate stock prices, and his news service has been a party to it. Perhaps Bloomberg could argue up until now that his participation has been unwitting, but not anymore. Again, he has to take some steps to determine whether it is true, and to correct the situation, or the SEC will become very interested, IMO. 3. You were right to recount the link between Nyal, Mason, and Loren. Suppose Steffy's article cites "unnamed sources" for the notion that BRX has no metals, the company is a scam, etc. If this is based on post-gag order gibberish spewed by the AZDOM boys, it would essentially be an attempt at an end run around the Court's injunction. I doubt if the Court could nail Steffy or Bloomberg (no personal jurisdiction, and the injunction did not extend to them anyway), but it could make things very uncomfortable for Mutt and Jeff, for talking to Steffy Great letter. Regards, Otter

Thanks Lew. Your letter, and Furry's earlier post, were the perfect antidote to all the poison being spewn about lately. May the positive momentum continue to roll... From an avid lurker... robert

Lew, many thanks for your posts today. The energy and insight you bring to this thread is phenomenal. Any new IPM lurkers or investors owe it to themselves to review your posts over the past year. You are AWESOME! I can't wait for the movie. :-) Only wish I had a way w/words here on SI. Crude Jack from Lurkdom

GREAT LETTER LEW....sorry I have been away...work has been hell...I am in awe of your investigative abilities...where did you learn to do this stuff? We will see now just how high the ladder corruption travels at bloomburg. Personally I believe it goes right to the top. But you have done a great service for all of us IPM investors by sheding a little light on how shorters/journalists can work together to scare the hell out of the little guy and cost him his hard earned investment $$..... I was not aware that Steffy had interviewed Cindy Lou....did he publish some more false crap about Frank? I am seperated myself now and know how much negative emotional BS gets spread around when something like this happens. Anyhow great post...keep us posted as to Bloomberg's response.... Still waiting to be rich. It will be next week I think/hope wayne
