So who’s governing MLE? It seems they can do whatever they want without their validity ever being questioned? You know like spewing out numbers that never happened. Twenty years and this many errors and miscues. I think its time for some fresh air to be let in.

Exactly 734 They can make up all kinds of figures so they come off smelling like roses. The same way they plant banners in hands of random fans saying shit like “Sonya marry me” “Joey we love you ” This is all about stealth marketing

Which Goldstein did Seiken make more than because if I recall correctly, one Goldstein won a very expensive vehicle on top of some cash.
