'Fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) is a tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations,[1][2] politics and propaganda.'You can't really say this VE post
is FUD - simply because there are no significant numbers of shares able to be traded right now. FUD is always used as a weapon of affecting change, in this environment that change is a change of share price. That cannot happen which is why I would question the motive for the post beyond the level of FUD.
Either it is true, which is doubtful as he hasn't got back yet with his 'big news'.
Or he had a moment of deep despair due to his massive loss 'at Ken's hands' and decided in a very immature way to 'get one over' on Ken.
So not classic FUD - more a personal vendetta.
The only possible effect on the business from his post at this time would be on customer orders. If potential customers check on here (they would be mad not to) they might be put off making an order from a post like this one. But that would be a long shot on his part.
If it does turn out to be untrue (we have to wait until the end of tomorrow - VE's dramatic deadline) then we will know for sure that VE is
hurting very very badly. He must have lost a mint. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving person looking at the character traits we have seen from him here.
