FWIW, i spent an hour or two over the weekend researching "you know who" via his old posts.  It's all up there for anyone to see.  Was able to ID him completely by connecting a few pieces of personally identifying info he's posted, if anyone thinks Ben needs or wants the info.  I presume they're too busy to pursue a libel case, and it would need to come from a subpoena anyway.  But FWIW, he has been positively identified.

Beyond that, if you read his post history from the beginning, he was once an earnest investor.  He has cash from the businesses he runs, but he's been embittered by a long sequence of really unfortunate trades, particularly buying ATTD at its all-time high and getting heckled in exactly the manner he now heckles us.

Would love to know if he's actually a short in EEDG.  He mentioned having a "preferred trust" account with no commissions, which could explain a daily trickle of $20-50 sales.
