Quoted from PBrookfield:Well, if I didn't know a single past event, I would still be getting hives from reading the interview.
The question themselves are fine, but the language of Andrew sets off a dark sense in me, one that I have learnt from a number of, let's just call them rather bad experiences.
If Andrew's words didn't stir any paranoia in you, then I sincerely, honestly suggest you do some reading on the language used by certain types of people.
Perhaps this would be one place to start, though of course, this is just my personal suggestion apropos of nothing in particular: http://www.thriveafterabuse.com/word-salad-narc-speak/
Pretty much by definition given that the one holding the bag in all of this the poor pinside prepurchassers you can comfirm this guy is a narcissist. When you maximize your position from this bad outcome to your advantage it shows pretty callous neglect for everyone who gave you money. A narcissist who runs their company into the ground always seem to come out pretty clean as they move on to their next adventure.
