The membership have read the discussions. Some participated in the chats. Conspiracy theories of several varieties abound: some with LifeMirage and Steve Sliwa as conspirators to conduct viral marketing and/or identity fraud, some with ImmInst leadership as conspirators with Adam Kamil to discredit a competitor (Unique Nutrition), some more difficult to categorize.
I'd like to invite Steve to clear this up. LifeMirage's account has been suspended and will soon be banned, but he obviously has some sort of personal relationship with Steve that should allow Steve to act as a conduit to answer any questions, at least for the time being. In fact, Steve nearly always puts his posts in bold, so it shouldn't be difficult for Steve to post on behalf of LifeMirage in unbolded text for easier distinction.
So when I (supposedly) post as LifeMirage I do it without a bold and myself with bold.
It worked for Superman and Clark Kent. Perhaps Adam should do the same and no one would know.So, what are some things that I'd like to see cleared up? First, I ask Steve and LifeMirege (if he's even a different person) to stop lying. Don't play dumb or say you were misunderstood or that you stick by what you said. We all know it was bullshit, Steve. You're not fooling anybody, except maybe some of the die-hard conspiracy theorists, but I figure they get what they deserve for being so anti-"establishment" that they choose to buy your bullshit.
Nice language.Steve, come clean. Save yourself the embarrassment of having this story spread throughout the internet. Just start telling the truth. You'll find it might be hard at first, but you'll be glad you came clean later.
The good cop bad cop thing works well for you.Steve, are you running this whole operation by yourself, or do you have help? That's my first question. Are you the owner of the LifeMirage account, or do you just use it occassionally? Or did you just help set it up for Edward? Is Edward the primary account holder/operator? How much is Edward even involved in this whole mess? Is he the "brains" of this operation. Are you guys a team, or does one take orders from the other?
My company has over 6 people involved. Lee has used my computers when he visits my office. You will have to ask Lee about his connection to Edward.How much is Lee Crost involved? Before you begin your bullshit story about how Lee really is LifeMirage, save it. I'd be willing to believe that Lee has offered advice, offered the use of his name, maybe even helped with some of the scientific details. Regardless of whether he has personally written a post as LifeMirage, it's obvious that he's not the only person using the account, if he's using it at all.
Please enough with the profanities. “Save it” I will.Steve, just come clean. No bullshit. Just answers. You could have hundreds of years of healthy life ahead of you, given the way technology is advancing. But your ethics are a core part of who you are, and changing your ethics once you get to your 40's will be very difficult, especially if you've made your whole life for yourself through lying and fraud. Change now, try to become an honest person while you're still relatively young, while your mind is still malleable.
When did you become a psychologist? I'd also like to know what the extent of the viral marketing is. Did you create extra accounts to pose questions and/or support your statements? Did you have friends pose questions for you to swoop in and answer, to establish your "expertise" and deep knowledge?
No. No. I never claimed to have “deep knowledge” in nootropics. My degree is in business.I'd also like to know how you or Edward got editing access to Sherwyn's webpage. Was it an inside job? Did you hack the site? Was Lee involved, or a fourth person who hasn't been named yet?
You would have to ask Lee or Edward. Oh something of interest see the Pyritinol link (http://search.lef.or...word=pyritinol ). Perhaps LifeMirage hacked LEF’s website as well being a Smart Nutrition rep.For personal reasons, I'd like to know: Was the $500 lifetime membership donation truly in support of ImmInst's mission, or was it just a public gesture to make LifeMirage seem magnanimous, to help drive the viral marketing tactics?
You would have to ask LifeMirage.Also for personal reasons, I'd like to know: how much increase in business was attributable to this whole viral marketing strategy at ImmInst. Did you see a 10% increase, 100%, 500%? I realize for trade secret reasons you wouldn't want to give away your revenues, but could you at least ballpark the relative increase in business that you saw?
Imminst is a very small Internet forum. I get more sales from Avant Labs and Cerebral Health.Also for personal reasons: Do you regret any of this? I mean, besides regret that you got caught, of course. Do you regret that you lied and misled people? That you put people's lives at risk? That you have negatively affected ImmInst's mission? Any regrets that might hint that you're worth saving? Are you glad that you got caught? I know some criminals express their gratitude about being caught, because it forced them to become a better person and take responsibility, and it also prevented things from getting worse. So be honest, are you glad you got caught, or are you still regretting it?
As far as I’m concerned you created your own mess and are desperately trying to find someone else to blame. Sounds like our current government.Please take your time to answer these questions, Steve. Please put some real thought and heart into this matter. I know you're probably weighing your options as to how much you have to come clean, and how much you can still get away with lying about. But I think if you tell the whole truth, even revealing lies that haven't been uncovered yet, you'll be doing yourself a big favor. You'll show people that you take this seriously, and that you want to make amends of some sort. Please give us the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. You don't just owe it to us, you owe it to yourself.
I owe you nothing. However I will ask one question.
Why is Leadership (Prometheus) going out of his way (and forum) to attack our company on Avant Labs (who we sponsor btw)? This is how a respected organization’s leaders function? Does this support your “mission” somehow? Or more likely it’s just a personal attack. Fascinating. You say you prevent personal attacks on your forum and yet you’ve done nothing but that towards me, LifeMirage, Edward, and whoever else you came somehow connect through weak and probably created “evidence” by Adam or who even knows.
My suggestions:
1. Take responsibility for your mistakes and unless you have hard evidence (which can hold up in a court of law) I would refrain from making statements against anyone. Oh and leadership (Bruce) post someone’s work number who expressed they did not want to be contacted at work seems personally rather than professionally motivation.
2. Focus your attention on far more important matters to your organization than “the nootropics forum”. You have openly stated you have spend far more time on this matter than should be required, when you could have been strengthening yourselves in other areas.
3. Don’t have any sponsor/advisor for the supplements/nootropics forum, if in fact you are truly concerned about liability matters and anyone questioning whom you support and why. The Mprize and other projects that will have a real impact on aging seems more important.P.S.
While our offices are in Chicago our business license was not obtained in IL and our GMP approved lab is not in IL either. We have been around for over 6 years and continue to grow, no matter some people choose to think about us. I have no comment however if the company licensed in IL owned by Heather is a separate division of our company, but it only started 3 years ago.This will be my last post in this sad turn of events for Imminst who has lost the respect of several of its members.
Sincerely Steve Sliwa
