Blue -- I won't comment on your statements that this "POS" was a scam. Clearly there are two sides to the argument, and you might want to bounce that one off Avalon to see what he thinks. He has posted 3,400 investment advisories and assorted off-topic opinions and knows a thing or two about the company and any alleged Internet promotional activity. Ask him to differentiate between the alleged corporate scam, and the alleged Internet promotion scam. More allegations. In early April, Roy Carson took time out from the pressures of the Caracas cocktail circuit to refute allegations that his website was subversive, and that Crystallex's crusading journalist had a dodgy past and is under investigation by Venezuelan authorities. In spite of the setback, which came in the form of a bogus letter that made the rounds on the Internet, Mr Carson said he would carry on with his single-minded campaign for the truth. No mention, however, of resuming his quest to top a personal record of attending 20 cocktail receptions in a single week. . Carson says his pursuit of truth will continue Crystallex International Corporation KRY Shares issued 34,000,000 1998-04-06 close $6 Tuesday Apr 7 1998 Roy Carson, a Caracas-based journalist and editor of the website VENews, defends himself against charges contained in an anonymous letter circulating on the Internet. Writing in an April 7, 1998 VMI Briefing e-mail, Mr. Carson says the letter was designed to stop him from printing the truth about Crystallex International. The letter, purportedly signed by alleged and untraceable members of the Venezuelan security service, the DIM, calls his publication subversive. Mr. Carson, a Crystallex supporter and unofficial spokesman for about a year, says the Spanish-language letter makes untrue allegations of criminal behaviour on his part, and that he has been arrested and interrogated by authorities in Venezuela. Says the transplanted Irishman: "Since in Crystallex's case, the message is simple and conclusive, it would appear the only weaponry remaining to sordid smear tactics is to attack the messenger." Mr. Carson expresses confidence that "the truth is always victor over lies." (From Stockwatch) Jerry Collins CSW
