This is the second time in under 30 days someone has come here saying they will gather info and Josh will answer it.
Second time... in under 30 days. Not counting reddit, HT and everywhere else he has made that statement.
Enjoy gathering stuff for his attorneys to use to see what evidence is going to be used against him. He has yet to answer the last "fact gathering" exercise on here.
You've seen the SEC investigation. If there was any sort of smoking gun in that file, any incriminating facts that aren't currently public knowledge, then having a bunch of non-lawyers here rehash a bunch of things that are already public wouldn't be helping his attorneys, it would be distracting them (if they paid any attention to it at all) from the meat of the investigation. Unless what's already public actually is the meat of the investigation.
You also said the bulk of the thousand pages was "just things people have sent in." You reported that your source said that they needed more information "or else more resources won't be spent on this." So they're trying to "determine if it warrants any sort of major investigation," but they don't have enough information in hand to justify spending more resources on it. (

My guess is that the SEC sent Josh a "letter of concern." There wasn't enough in the file to justify the resources for a major investigation, but there was enough for a letter that would send him scurrying to his lawyers. His lawyers recommended that he shut down the mining operation, which would be a no-brainer if he didn't have enough mining hardware behind it go legit. They then sent a letter to the SEC saying that while they dispute the SEC's interpretation, out of an abundance of caution blah blah blah. And if the SEC didn't have enough information to justify putting more resources into the investigation, and hasn't gotten anything new, that's probably the end of it as far as the SEC is concerned.
I have seen and read every page of the file now personally. It has taken some time to move through it. I am guessing every time everyone sends him "concerns" with proof they are attempting to figure out what is in the SEC file.
Several of the "smoking guns" I haven't seen in this thread but someone clearly has them.
I just don't understand Josh's need to "address" concerns repeatedly and never follow-through and each time he just walks away with more information on things they might need to counter at a later date with lawyers.
He has failed to be "Transparent" and answer anything the multiple times people in this thread have come here promising Josh is really going to answer stuff.
I just don't get it.
The SEC file has grown substantially since it was given to me from what I understand but my few sources are refusing to give any more files now.
