I'm not saying he is lying but if in two weeks he is going to go "I knew THIS was happening, see my vague generalized claims, but couldn't say anything because if anyone knew that I knew, the small group of people that knew would have been burned as sources!!! Which i just did anyway to try and tell everyone about my advance knowledge of privileged information"

cut to the loving chase and just say whatever it is, right now, if you are going to do that.

If you were a Greenie (a trusted, and privileged group on my Discord channel), none of this would be surprising. You would also know that :

i) I stopped posting such things here because of this sort of response from entitled shits who think they have a right to know anything beforehand

ii) that I had said that I wouldn't be posting things which would put people at risk; and the fact that I don't even post even leavers by linking to them anymore. Less than a handful of people knew about this AWS integration (it's not an engine switch - that's just nonsense); and no it hasn't been implemented this past year - as sources have told me that's blatantly false (shocking).

iii) even when TheAgent and the Aces post some things here, I tend to discard some items out of hand in my Discord channel discussions after reaching out to my sources to confirm them.

This engine switch wasn't surprising. It was inevitable and has been hinted at by myself and sources for months now. And it was never going to be public at this point. Due to the LY license agreement, they had no choice. Plus the logo was a dead giveaway.

I am going to be writing a blog with more details when I get back from vacation; but what croberts wrote is all pure lies as usual.

That's the long and short of it.

ps: since the thread went to poo poo, I also don't post as much as I used to because a lot of the relevancy is lost.

Just me and my 🌊dragon🐉 hanging out
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! So far we have managed to avoid setting the house on fire with the double complement of candles.

Ha ha ha, someone wrote a statement for Crobblers attempting to finesse the past several months of bullshit and lies. The sad part is that it will probably work.

I'm pleased to announce my partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, as exemplified by my attending services this morning and putting a check in the collection plate. I don't want to brag, but this partnership has been in the works since my baptism some decades ago, and I think having a high-profile person like me on board with the Episcopal Church will help bring much-needed publicity to its new (450 years or so) product offerings.

i'm not quoting all of that but it doesn't change what i said.

You said "I knew about this in advance but couldn't tell you because it would burn my sources, which i just did by telling you that i knew in advance once the information has been released"

which looks exactly like you didn't know anything about it and are just shouting into the sky about everything and retroactively taking credit that nobody cares about.

also I have an excuse to be on SA today derek, i have no life, you don't need to be having the worlds stupidest semantics argument like the other 364 days out of the year.

This is a company that once told a backer that a professionally installed custom fabricated commercial sliding door was a few pieces of plywood and a garage door opener. Lying comes naturally to these assholes.

Hanlon's Razor of "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice" fits CIG well.

But with this shitshow, one can rule out Occam's Razor most of the time.

No matter how they spin it; this is bad. And I warned (just weeks ago) about something big coming by year end and which backers need to be prepared for. I just couldn't talk about it because it would put people at risk since only a few people knew about this. I am on vacation with only access to mobile; so I can't find the tweet. But search my feed, it's in there. I am writing a new blog about this when I come back, that's why I am not saying much now because then the blog would be pointless.

This is a few pages back but derek that isn't how secrets work.

You can't make a general blanket claim that something is going to happen sometime, then when something happens go "See? This is what I was talking about but I couldn't say anything because only a few people knew"

Because you know what that would do? The same exact thing as if you had released the information. It gets out that the small group of people that knew about it are your sources.

There is zero reason to not release the information if you are going to retroactively burn your sources, so it just looks like you are making poo poo up wholesale.

But he's not actually burning his sources because there's always the scenario where he's making it up. He was right this whole time!
