All, Louis (and others) are no different from millions of paid influencers on Insta and elsewhere. Not sure but Scot126 was probably the same. There are here (as on Insta) with an agenda, to promote or demote.
Motives could be many, could be personal or could be corporate, there is no way to know for sure.
They are however easily detected. They are typically well versed in the subject matter why they easily get peoples attention, but that also goes for a lot of genuine private investors. The hallmark of a paid influencer is that they consistently post opinions and prophecies which appear backed by either subject matter specialism or specialist knowledge in financial markets (or both).
I reckon Scot126 probably were a paid for influencer, and I would not be surprised if his client were Farallon so to attempt to hold up the SP whilst they were selling down. I do not doubt he was a genuine investor also.
As for our friend Louis10, he is guaranteed an influencer, probably paid for - judged on the frequency of his posting on a share he is not supporting. Otherwise it’s hard to make a living, spending half of the day deramping companies you do not believe in. It’s defo a job for him.
Whether it’s the same guy (Scot126 and Louis10), I’d not be overly surprised. The tenacity and thoroughness in their argumentation is similar, and their method of engagement also sort of same, but I guess as influencers, they presumably do stick to a fairly similar playbook.
You guys can think or believe what you want, but rest assured there are smarter people out there who knows how to manipulate an audience. And with 2bn barrels (now almost certainly recoverable) under ground, I can think of hundreds of reasons why influencers would be hard at work on such an opportunity, either constantly ramping or deramping the company.
Point being - trust nobody !
