Sorry it did not turn out as you had hoped...as all of us hoped.

Don't blame yourself, as some here would like you to believe, it is not your fault. You picked a company to invest in with a great technology, which even the inventor of which was duped into giving away, and he's a genius (in some ways). Most people are honest, hard working, and trusting and as such are prey to those that hide behind SEC regulated (not quite enough) enterprises. Part of the problem is that everyone, even the crooks, have rights in this country. They know how to hide inside and around those rights. And because of this all the DD that we have access to can't expose them quick enough. If you, and I were not the majority then where would be the market for these crooks? Those that contend that it is only you to blame are usually part of the problem, or perhaps even part of the conspiracy.

Good luck, learn, and never give up.
