a hard post to make

I am hesitant to post this, but I don’t believe anybody is beyond questioning.

So there are a lot of people who would agree HC members, and I'm sure others in the retail market, were targeted to be used as ATM's in the form of lifting the stock price prior to 3B's.

The internet was CVI’s main means of promotion (HC, emails, BRR).

Givens, in my opinion of course:

- The internet, and more specifically HC, were the primary means of promotion for this stock.

- News and coming announcements have been leaked prior to discounted placement notices.

- Poster trade4proift is the poster with the most influence on hotcopper, if you are to go by the fact he is on double the amount of users favourites lists as the second highest favourite on here.

- Poster trade4profit was the one many attribute (and he himself was happy to accept when things were flying) to bringing CVI to their attention.

- Poster trade4profit wrote glorious things about the company, utilising obviously skilled emotive writing techniques, not the least of which being his penchant for circumlocution.

- Poster trade4profit took great offence to anyone that suggested CVI was a scam, to the point where he was blatantly (and embarrassingly in retrospect) accusing others of being a part of concentrated teams attacking this stock, and attacking he himself (I was also accused, which was the beginning of the end of any compassion I felt for said poster).

- When sh*t hit the fan, poster trade4profit slowly started posting less and less, until now where he hasn't even posted on the site for close to a month.

Speculation, on my part:

It is my opinion that CVI has been at best dishonest in its approach to raising funds to progress further, and at worst dishonest in an approach to raising funds to spend on hookers and private jets.

Poster trade4profit attributes his absence to a combination of being busy and not wanting to be made a scapegoat of. Funny he was able to take on 10 knockers at a time when things were flying, but now hasn't been able to give a whimper.

With regards to poster trade4profit, I hypothesise three possibilities, without getting too specific:

1. He was used by the company and sold a story just like everyone else, and is just guilty of a bit of a God complex combined with paranoia combined with an inability to see the scam, owing perhaps to that old chestnut 'greed'. In which case his absence is just a case of hiding with his tail between his legs, which is a bit sooky, but since when hasn't he been a bit of a victim?

2. He played a more sinister role in partnership with the company.

3. He was on to the ramp potential early, was not in partnership with the company, but did take advantage of the situation and his popularity and made an absolute killing.

Now, I have always thought it unfair to blame any poster, or lash out at them, for losses or other. Please note I have not lost on CVI, I was out of 90% of my CVIO’s in the glorious 20s. We are all responsible for our own purchases. I certainly don't blame anyone for a single share purchase I have ever made.

However, given the events relating to CVI over the last 18 months, and the potential hotcopper fleecing that has transpired, I do not think it is entirely unfair to ask these questions. They are just questions and my own theories, after all.

It may be regarded as flaming, how ever I have not made any personal attacks, this has been based purely on the information at hand. If you post it, it can be talked about. We also live in a society where we are able to question these things, and I don’t think it should be taken down or shouted out as some form of personal grudge, because some of the hypothesis shared above are a legitimate concern for any CVI shareholder who posts on hotcopper.

Besides anything, I have had a much more direct accusation directed at my good self from poster trade4profit, which I did not request be removed, but instead responded to. It would be nice if the same could happen here.
