Everyone ignore Dorky. As has been stated, he trolls both the VERI and PPT message board, for what reason(s), one can only assume is / are to serve his own or someone else's interest.
On a positive note (I believe), I was reviewing etherscan last night and somone purchased 800k PPT and 16k VERI in a 22 minute span. Total value of the wallet is approximately $4.5MM. Investors that have this amount of wealth generally don't make such investments without a deep understanding of the company / project and its potential.
See the following public address on etherscan:
0x69301396165EbF9A3c3b2674DF9056F1778Be583
Why do you assume it is a purchase and not a transfer between accounts of the same owner? The sender address owns 1.2M+ PPT since 53 days ago (ICO time frame).
A possibility. You are correct.
