You cannot lie about this or the SEC will bury them and so will their own institutions.

This boy hasn't been correct very much over the years so don't even be concerned about it. Invent a rumor thru the back door and explain why they should go thru with it at the editor desk. This guy is just a hack. Keep trolling for those hits.
