PS. Michelle Celarier straight off refers to me on Twitter every bit an abuser. She suggested that I was "full of sh-t" for indicating that the dates were notable.

PPS. There was an enormous rank selection purchased on Herbalife earlier the missive of the alphabet was released to the public. This was reported widely merely Dealbook at the New York Times is every bit adept a link every bit any. These options were purchased about a week before whatsoever of the dates here. Many people bring suggested insider trading based on that Dealbook article. I bring my doubts. The British Prime Minister Harold Wilson famously observed that "a calendar week is a long fourth dimension inwards politics". I would survive real surprised indeed if at that topographic point were populace versions of the missive of the alphabet circulating a calendar week early.
