- His predictions for May and June haven't come true as far as I can tell.
- His predictions for Lock closing in July looks questionable. Even if you don't think Lock has much money, they've gone ~30 days without cashing people out before and kept taking deposits and players kept playing. Why does he think they will shut down in July?
The ecmcpal article also has some issues.
I'm no Lock supporter, but criticism should be accurate and consistent, sticking to the facts or at least predictions based on facts. The predictions in the article only reinforce the errors of the details and make the article look silly. It may sway mindless people against Lock, but the goal should be factual discussion, not "us vs them" mentality.
