Not saying these are fake but John is in a tight spot if he and Arthur bought most of the inserts in Miami. Not really feasable to ”refund immediately” if they were bad and they throughout the years sold volumes of them. He can’t really say anything else and he is probably not very keen on sending them to Geneva to hear what the mothership thinks. He can’t win anything from it but he can lose a lot.
My thoughts on this is the same as ever. I have no idea if they are real or not. An opinion which isn’t likely to change.
