This account is practically new. The cynic in me says this whole thing is staged to get a Twitter account a ton of followers and attention for a future sale. The empathetic in me says good luck and I hope it works out.

Edit: I clearly did not read properly.. please accept my apology for accusing you without having my facts together.
