Jeffrey, that's interesting - what an experience for a young guy, eh.
Have you written any more detail on this on other threads? ... i know people who read anything they can find on Tiananmen Square, they had relatives there. No fatalities in the family, but several vivid stories.

You're lucky to have had a chance to take part in such a moving celebration. One that went so terribly wrong, thanks to frightened authoritarians.

Needless to say, I support free speech. It's disturbing, isn't it, that so many want to silence us? They call us Evil Bashers, say that we do what we do out of self-interest. Good luck to them, should they try to prove that. It just won't work.

Yes, we try to warn actual and potential investors about what we consider to be bad companies. Have we been wrong? Not so far.

Here's this week's roundup:

1. HITT has petitioned the SEC for permission to rescind its 10K, issued only at the end of May. Seems Ernst & Young, auditors for the pre-existing SCMI shell, refuse to have their name associated with that of Dorian Reed, a convicted felon. For that and other reasons, the stock's dropped from 20 into the fives. Three class action suits have already been filed.

2. ABFGEEEEE, well, had the E added. Why? Because they didn't file a Form 10. Goes without saying they knew they were obliged to do this by 1 June for months. Now they tell us they'll have it out by the 11th. We'll see. Shareholders have lost a lot there.

3. RIHI/Worldnet called off their merger. Stock tanked to 3/8 and it probably isn't over, as now RIHI is nothing but a shell. It appears that class actions are in the offing. Shareholders have been ripped off bigtime. And Whispy, the thread's major tout, has entirely disappeared. How very odd.

4. Yet another lawsuit was brought against Mike Sylver of AZNT. And against a number of John Does, some of whom I bet we know. Pugs and his moronic buddies are still threatening to sue us. For what? Our information has always been absolutely correct.

But never mind: kill the messenger.
