The response was completely blank. They had simply changed the status of my inquiry to "Resolved".

They claim they responded to my earlier questions "in the spirit of being transparent" yet are now refusing to continue to be transparent and answer any questions. + +2. The openly admit that they are fully aware of the posting activity here on /GME. This begs the question: Why? Why on earth would FINTEL be concerned about a bunch of delusional GameStop bagholders spouting conspiracy theories about intentionally altered short data and manipulated stock markets? Unless.... + +3. They claim they will not be taking anymore time from "legitimate tickets" thus implying that my questions are illegitimate. I can't help but wonder if they would say the same thing to Congress? + +4. Wilton Risenhoover (the founder of FINTEL) was the responder to my first two emails. These responses come from an "Aqua R". I am not sure who he is, perhaps a lawyer? Again, I can't help but wonder why my old buddy Wilton didn't answer. + +5. Aqua R refers to Mr. Risenhoover as "The Founder". This just made me laugh. "The Founder"? And they say *we* are like a cult! + +I plan to resubmit my questions and point out that I still do need help with "actual use of [their] site". After all they claim to offer "Institutional Grade Research Tools" to help you "Dominate the Financial Markets" with "more accurate data" for "better decisions". Yet, I am still not sure what numbers I can rely on. They discovered a "programming error". What if there are other errors in the data that have yet to be discovered? I probably won't get a response since they seem to be circling the wagons, but I can try. + +Any ideas for additional questions are welcome. Or, please feel free to send them questions of your own.
