This list here is one of the most sophisticated groups of investors I have ever seen in one single investment. I doubt seriously they would have let us control their investment.
This was about protecting gains, not hiding losses.
I would prefer they not know I'm considering selling.
If we don't do this, the books that will get written will be wrong, like the books that have been written so far. I am innocent of all of these charges and I will fight for that for a long time.

We were building a - what I thought was a fantastic company. We had great people. We were changing - we were changing the way the marketplace operated. We were creating a market for natural gas and electricity that had never existed before.
