The thing is, people have studied their professions for years and paid for their education, if they get no compensation for it then they made a bad choice for what to do (for a living). If lying to investors is the difference between earning a living and not, would it then be a surprise if it did happen? I hate to pose even the possibility Alexey would do this. I never met the man or talked with him. From the videos I've seen of him this is not something I would think. He appears to be a decent man. It's just that for these things to happen are not outside of the realm of possibilities. Most people want to do what it takes to earn a buck, even if not fully stating the real situation. Sadly, I've led investors wrongly before, not for a fortune of money though. It is not something I feel good about or would ever do again. Some things are worth more than money. Being honest with people in business to me is a lot more important now than making more money through deception. Having a clear conscience in life is worth something too, especially as we will need to reflect on these things when we die in a review of our life and how we made people feel bad by doing the wrong things. Sadly, some of the people I worked for in boiler room operations were religious Jews and some were not and not religious or people of faith. It shows how people are flawed, religious or not. The thing is how people claim a religion but when it comes to the source of how it makes them better people it often doesn't in many important ways. They just roll through the motions of rituals but doesn't often improve in how they deal with their fellow man often enough. In the scheme of things, I want Stemson to accomplish their mission. If they were more forward about their progress or lack of it would make them in my eyes a better company. If they would answer my questions and were really forward about what is going on it could help. Through trust they may gain even more investment money. When people are forward and honest it gives a green light that these folks are the real deal and could lead to even more people wanting to help and people see them as transparent and trustworthy. When our government lies to us and keeps secrets from us to most people it doesn't make them feel the government is on their side. Being good to those we deal with leads to more good things usually. I'm not saying the people at Stemson are bad, but I think they could be more forward about what is going on there. If they are getting nowhere, at least they should let us know so we don't have the anxiety of false hope. They need to know that hair loss sufferers are an anxious bunch who need answers, not to be left in suspense.
