Absolutely not. I didn't mean to indicate that. I don't think people should be hassled for having an opinion. I'm speaking specifically to point that if celebrities use influence to shill anything fraudulently the public should at least know the details and charges should be pursued, but we already do that so I don't think I'm advocating for anything new or unwarranted.

In this case, specifically, I don't know enough details to know if there is legit concern there was a pump and dump strategy in place or if it really is as simple as it seems, that Kimmy saw something of interest and happened to mention it in passing, but the environment is pretty primed for celebrities to step in and take advantage in shady ways, so I don't really think this is surprise to see unfold.

I think the confusion in what I was saying earlier comes from the point I meant to make about the circus that will likely unravel around all this, putting on public display the idea that personal responsibility is making it's way back into the mainstream. If there isn't a scam or intent to defraud uncovered, or, even better, it gets thrown out of court for all the reasons it should be thrown out, that's a pretty solid message telling everyone personal accountability matters.

At least I think that's what I meant. I've had a busy day and may well have a wire crossed somehwere...
