User talk:Leviathan2020

If you have a message please leave it here.

Please be as civil as you can be, even when talking about my much loved NY Yankees and Dallas Cowboys (who do not deserve that $250,000 fine).

A big thanks
Hey, Leviathan! I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for the thoughts you posted over on the Talk:XPO Logistics page. Given that WKDash hasn't reared his head again, I'm guessing the strong comments you made helped shove him off, and I'm grateful for that. After so much time spent trying to improve the article by getting rid of corporate crap and PR shilling, and feeling like I was basically doing it alone, I guess I just appreciate someone else stepping in and lending me a (obviously much more experienced with Wikipedia) hand.

Anyways, that's all. Just a thank you! Best wishes from Utah,

You are welcome. Just seems to me that there are a lot of people out there with axes to grind or (more likely in this case) trying to manipulate stocks so that they can short them. I know the time and effort that goes into putting something together and making it look good and getting it balanced and right. Then someone comes along and plays with it while trying to act innocent: "I will remove some" and then they still leave all the negatives up there and zero balance.

I am going to have a dig around and see who is related to XPO, who has done prior work on XPO and Bradley Jacobs and see whether there are bad actors involved or if it just one or more semi-literates who are playing with fire. With pension funds, institutional investors and employees having a vested interest in the stock value (and when most suits were not begun on the XPO watch) the person doing it really is playing with fire. I am not making legal threats, the outcome of doing this can be seen in the media every day. Once the SEC and the FBI catch wind of this these folks will be off somewhere that there are no computers for a long time. Securities fraud is securities fraud: Ask the folks from Enron or Bernie Madoff. Let's see what we can find and I will ensure it all gets where it needs to go. If the "editors" were doing this while working for another company and made any edits that were defamatory or manipulating on their employers time then those guys are on the hook too.

I do think the board should be informed (as I say this is happening too much) and if they did hire anyone to make edits and let them go, as the article was horrible before you came in, then they need to let the SEC know and also the tax authorities to make sure that the right sales tax and income tax was paid. A great thing about Wikipedia is that the changes never go away so they are considered re-published every day and statutes of limitation don't toll. The gift that keeps on giving if someone defames you; always best to apologize!

Great work, it looks really good now Leviathan2020 (talk) 21:23, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
