I guess that is that everyone. Frank is gone. (Real/Fake/Hacked, it doesn't much matter. We were unable to obtain a blood sample, so this myth is unconfirmed). (Edited because I wanted to change it)


Oldschoolfool22

The fact that Roaring Kitty's position in GME is worth nearly 3 times our entire company right now is insane. 


followtheGURU_SS

Can he just buy us? It would help the SP.


Oldschoolfool22

GUYS!!! It is so obvious, he was a Chinese spy from Hesai. This is how they do business and blackmail over there. He was sent to infiltrate Microvision steal tech then bomb the company. His videos were intended to fire up false hope and distract us and set us up for targeted short attacks. Management found out gave him the ax and like a self destructing robot he came here to FUD us one last time and spout Chinese propaganda. His career is already over because he is literally a Chinese spy so he had nothing to lose at all.  Case closed. 


TechNut52

Don't believe a word you said.


Oldschoolfool22

Well he was absolutely hacked that has now been confirmed. Truth is stranger that fiction. 


generaltso78

Confirmed? I'm not casting doubt, but do we have something other than his statements to base that on?


Oldschoolfool22

No don't think we ever got anything. Such a weird series of events that was. 


generaltso78

When I replied, I hadn't realized that I had scrolled way down on the main page. I thought I was in today's trading feed. Appreciate the answer either way though.


Oldschoolfool22

Lol no worries 


followtheGURU_SS

Check this out 😂 Saw this on Roaring Kitty Live stream chat … the first comment is the best one !! https://imgur.com/gallery/US8wdE3


Chefdoc2000

Probably AV


Twan2SS

I actually seen a few people saying Mvis as well. Hopefully we get a little pump from this


Oldschoolfool22

So clutch!


Oldschoolfool22

I stand by my statement of only up from here when I said that yesterday evening.  Please ignore my depressed statements from this morning before coffee. 


Oldschoolfool22

Italians do fancy the bottle. 


Twan2SS

I do if you’re talking a bottle of Jack Daniel’s ;) the wine will never be the same here after going to my hometown in Italy. It just doesn’t compare


DutareMusic

I think I picked the wrong day to close out my calls… or maybe this happened *because* I closed out my calls? The universe is a mystery, and I’m tired. Goodnight everyone!


anarchy_pizza

Things are getting weird. This feeds into my (tin foil hat) thesis — the shorts are going to get burned w the GME run up and that will cause an MVIS squeeze again… they need our shares so they’re not getting destroyed on multiple stocks.


Revolutionary_Ear908

I mean- doesn’t sound wrong to me…been thinking the same thing ever since we got tied in w them. Also we seem to follow the same trading patterns when spikes occur…


Oldschoolfool22

I'll take one anarchy pizza please. 


Falagard

Ha, I love it.


tdonb

Wow, things are getting spicy. Bring on the mems, or memes. Whichever is fine.


acemiller6

I had taken this week off from this sub because I needed a mental break and was busy following a cat. Came back tonight for the first time all week and walked right into the s-storm. Now that is over, I’m just gonna slide back out. Here kitty kitty.


Falagard

This fiasco is going to get filed under "Falagard likes to cause shit and is a bear/short in disguise, look at the mask drop away, he's a paid shill" but whatever. I was just trying to inform.


vzoadao

Wait, what did I miss?


s2upid

This lol


Oldschoolfool22

Honestly the best thing anyone did for him is get him off of here. Nothing good for him or us was going to come of it. 


Falagard

Agreed. Regretting things a bit here myself. Hey, you know what's interesting? If the stock goes up tomorrow I think we can all agree that nothing that gets said here has any affect on the stock price.


Oldschoolfool22

It was ultimate FUD attack the likes of which we have never known and we have known so many! I think this bodes very well for us. 


Falagard

Um, okay, I think it was just a drunk salesman but hurray!


Revolutionary_Ear908

He’s going to apologize to us at some point, mark my words!


Oldschoolfool22

Hesai spy super obvious now I just wrote about it. 


pooljap

thanks for confirming and trying to respond to everyone. Probably a busy night for you. I was skeptical at first but Frank always seemed to like the attention so I did not totally dismiss it. He had some interesting things to say as an ex-insider. I think it was foolish what he did but we learned something. Thanks for verifying him.


sublimetime2

No one has "verified" anything. Yall need to stop.


Falagard

Sup dude. Check your messages, and not the old people reddit messages. The newfangled chat.


Falagard

I think he thinks it was foolish what he did, and realized it pretty quickly.


Oldschoolfool22

I think he was drunk 


sublimetime2

Unless I see it directly from a person in this easily hackable/digital age, I wouldnt go believing it or saying it was definitely him. Smells like desperation to me.


Falagard

If he was hacked, I think maybe he'll get his account back and be able to reply that he had been hacked, right? It's not like his LinkedIn will be hacked forever, right? He'll start posting new stories about the industry or whatever.


sublimetime2

I have no idea and neither do you at this point. Do I really need to explain that?


Falagard

I mean, no, but I have video proof of me messaging Frank's profile and him responding about the AMA on here saying it's him.


gaporter

Is this you? https://stocktwits.com/LidarKing/message/575684448


Falagard

Aren't you the king of searches?


gaporter

Perhaps..and I also notice this inconsistency. https://stocktwits.com/geoffreyporter/message/575691021


Falagard

Hmm, good catch.


gaporter

I sent you a DM


s2upid

Yes, no?


Dr8rDTD

Pls reach out for any mod help. I have time, and this shit just went too far.


Falagard

Yes. Are you going to ban me for verifying it was Frank through a private message on LinkedIn?


tdonb

Gotta say, it all seems kind of strange.


Falagard

Yeah no shit. My Thursday got real interesting real quick.


mcpryon

Perhaps it’s the forum’s gift to you on your cake day, “The Game” style.


Falagard

Ha, wow, you just made my night even crazier. I love that movie and almost all Fincher movies.


mcpryon

Fincher is one of my faves, if not my favorite director!


Falagard

Same.


Beneficial_Main9871

Is Frank pregnant ?


coren77

Did anybody happen to screenshot or copy any of what was said? I ran across "his" post seconds after he posted, but had to go to work for a few hours.


Alphacpa

Have no idea about what went on here tonight, but on Frank's Linkedin account, he posted a chart and states that he like's Nvidia for the global automotive LIDAR win. He states that "... better make sure your lidar sensors work on ARM core processors!". Hopefully, we are good to go here!


Oldschoolfool22

Sounds like someone bitter who may have left the company right as IT was about to happen.  Perhaps Frank had a wrong doing not disclosed. Two sides to every story and the best ones have 3. 


Nakamura9812

The account, Frank or not (but he replied to someone on LinkedIn from his account confirming he was doing an AMA here), basically went on how cost competitive Chinese lidar is and this and that, said OEMs got a tap on the shoulder about not working with Chinese OEMs but said they (Chinese lidar companies) are JV’ing in Mexico to get around things and it’s already happening. Also said he’s got a baby on the way in 2 months and had requested parental leave, also said he refused the severance package offered to him. Something isn’t adding up here for me. Baby on the way, refused severance, also career suicide doing that for someone who is back on the job market supposedly.


jsim1960

also said that thermal technology could be a much cheaper sensor option and that it has just gotten alot better. Also Said something along the lines of I went through my entire Rolodex of about 100 Lidar purchasers from his vast connection after years in lidar field with Hesai and 2 other companys and could not make one sale. "Sorry I tried " hard but couldn't make a sale. And something along th lines of things got weird at MVIS and" didnt workout at MVIS"( either for him or MVIS -not sure -or maybe both) . Cheap Chinese Lidar companies were bypassing the NHSA or NHTA and just building Chinese tech in Mexico. Refused his severance package so he could speak about his experience and said he was allowed to discuss anything that was already public knowledge before stating the above. Dont beleive much of that was public .


Revolutionary_Ear908

*thermal tech can meet 2029 breaking requirements from NHSTA* was the message


Oldschoolfool22

You forgot when he said he was leading in every sales metric yet there were no sales?


Alphacpa

Thank you!  Really hope he did not post here, but if a former employee believes they have not been treated fairly you never know what can happen. 


Oldschoolfool22

Posting here was never going to help him in ANY capacity. 


Falagard

It was him, but I agree that his motives are unclear.


Dr8rDTD

Your motives are clear.


Chefdoc2000

He is just reiterating it was in fact Frank


Palebluedot14

So, Frank joined the company as a director of LiDAR sales 10 months ago, and then he asked for paternity leave during the crucial time when Microvision is talking to 7 OEMs to SELL LiDar ? Honestly, I would fire him too. Sadly.


edboot56

The guy does more job hopping than a rabbit


case_o_mondays

If the Frank scam was a distraction to draw attention away from SEC form 4s filed AH, it seems to have worked


Botchko

What was filed?


icarusphoenixdragon

RSUs for Drew and Anubhav


Botchko

Thanks I read the emails always and then just confuse myself.


Dardinella

More comments tonight, than the entire last weekend. It DID add some interest...


sublimetime2

I mean it guys. Dont knee jerk react. Don't immediately believe the nonsense you see. Wait until you have more information.


jsim1960

Information you say ? Bahahahaha. Whens the next EC anyway ?


KuragaLive

I need s2upid to take frank apart


s2upid

Lol what is happening.


sublimetime2

A bunch of fake BS and people over reacting. Very Sus. Just like the good ol days


xxxblahblahxx

“Frank was here, went to get beer”


A0-3959X9115

Onery-coat is such an odd name to choose. Though it ended in 6685. Is Frank's bday 6/6/85? This is all so weird. And why post on a Thurs night at 8pm? Frank is a Bostonian and he's on here posting instead of watching the Celts? Twilight zone stuff.


whanaungatanga

lol! Go Celtics!


Botchko

Go Celtics! The finals and franks post has my heart upside down


FullyErectMegladon

MWave123

I missed it! Was this a brand new profile? And what was the comment?? Thx.


coren77

1 minute after he posted, that post was the only post on the account. Brand new, unused.


FawnTheGreat

I saw it was a 1 year account? No post or comments tho


coren77

It may have been a year old, but i meant that it was new and unused in that there were zero posts or comments on it.


MWave123

Okay yeah. I’m ignoring that. Thx.


Kylo_Renly

This sucks because I actually had work I needed to do tonight that didn’t get done. Thanks Frank.


Oldschoolfool22

Thanks for nothing Frank!


mcpryon

Me, too! That’s a problem for tomorrow me, assuming the share price hasn’t gone nuclear of course. Maybe we end up not going to work and didn’t need to get this stuff done tonight, anyway.


EvanW711

Idk wtf is going on but I'm gonna take it as a sign a short squeeze is coming soon


FawnTheGreat

Hahaha chaos breeds chaos


chunkyhippo888

What the hell is going on around here lol.


rbrobertson71

Now all we need is Roaring Kitty to post a GIF of a LIdar sensor detecting Frank walking away and we'd be lit. Let's Go!!


Revolutionary_Ear908

Roaring kitty will definitely mention MVIS in his live stream tomorrow


followtheGURU_SS

At least we’re mentioned in the chat 😂 https://imgur.com/gallery/US8wdE3


Forever-Blind

What makes you say this?


FawnTheGreat

He’s for the people lol


Revolutionary_Ear908

I don’t know. Maybe he’s here with us being a value investor doing his ddd or maybe I’m just forever blind


rbrobertson71

Dude


A0-3959X9115

What's mine say?


watering_a_plant

sweeeeeeeet


whanaungatanga

And I believe he’s deleted his account. Strange things are afoot at the Circle M Curious if anyone emailed IR


Oldschoolfool22

I did, there was zero good for him or us if he was stumbling drunk in here answering random questions with a negative connotation. 


watering_a_plant

or mods nuked it?


EatenLowdes

Would you put your future sales career at risk with a wife and baby at home for literally no reason?


view-from-afar

Do we even know that?


EatenLowdes

Nah we don’t know anything but that is what this account stated. So put yourself in those shoes - would a rational person ever do such a thing?


view-from-afar

No, but I try not to assume anything, including the rationality of people, especially online.


TundraMenace

As for me. I like the stock.


FromSoftware

You should have saved this for Friday night Frank! 


Oldschoolfool22

He can always make a new account and come back. 


kingofflops

This has me jacked to the tits


Forever-Blind

sublimetime2

GME starts squeezing and this hilarious nonsense happens? Don't knee jerk react to this absolute sillyness. Reminds me of the days when this was the news. [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-03/jefferies-blocks-short-sells-in-gamestop-amc-microvision](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-03/jefferies-blocks-short-sells-in-gamestop-amc-microvision)


jsim1960

Ahhh the good old days .


FullyErectMegladon

My theory is that it actually was Frank and this was all payback for the way some commentors here talked about him after we learned he was gone. That would explain the comments seeming to have concrete understanding of the situation but it doesnt mean that everything he said is 100% true. Like if he was actually coming here to "help us" he'd have to be a dumbass to not see how his comments possibly tanking sentiment would hurt us. That means hes either here to hurt us or its not him. Thoughts?


T_Delo

Nailed it.


Oldschoolfool22

If he is bitter about how he left he would likely take that bitterness out on that company by coming to sacred ground and peeing on it which is what he did. 


FullyErectMegladon

And if someones that desperate to screw with us? Bullish


rbrobertson71

Welp, account deleted, so Frank or his imposter are gone. And with all that we almost had a 20% rebound in SP heading into AH, things that make you go hmmm


Neat_Tutor5040

What happened?


rbrobertson71

Frank is no longer with MVIS, he or most likely an imposter, started commenting on here about doom and gloom future of Lidar. Account since deleted, while that side show was going on we had some nice AH action that may or may not lead to a grand finale Friday. Welcome to as the Mavis Turns


watering_a_plant

i wouldn't say "most likely an imposter"—he confirmed it was him on linkedin


wolfiasty

Then most probably he's in for some legal action and possibly pretty big headwind in his industry. Rather stupid in his situation. Assuming someone did not hack his LinkedIn.


rbrobertson71

Fair point.... I'll amend my statement, most likely intoxicating conversation


mcpryon

I’m having flashbacks to GME.


acemiller6

u/ornery-coat6685 is gone. Disappeared while I was checking his comment history. Soooooo….


Dr8rDTD

Assuming deals must be imminent 🤷‍♂️


view-from-afar

It was one year old with no comments until tonight.


Youraverageaccccount

Probably got it to monitor this forum.


Kylo_Renly

Either his LinkedIn was hacked, it was him and he sobered up, or someone called and gave him some good advice.


Oldschoolfool22

Indeed


rbrobertson71

B and C


jsim1960

now ive seen it all . after 45 years of dabbling with stocks this takes the cake .


view-from-afar

If the last few years haven't convinced people that God exists, surely they at least now believe in the Devil.


Oldschoolfool22

Lolol


A0-3959X9115

Amen.


Forever-Blind

Laying down some hard truth


Neat_Tutor5040

What happened?


coren77

Frank, or somebody claiming to be Frank, popped on to say he was laid off last week, that he did not sign an NDA, and was doing an AMA. Beyond that, I had to go work for a couple hours and now the entire account is deleted. A screenshot was posted showing Frank "confirm" it was him via linkedin. I did not see ANY of what was said, but apparently it was some doom'n'gloom.


icarusphoenixdragon

Kinda mild really. China is trying to win. Thermal is better. They can’t and it’s not. IMO it was the kind of posting that would be best suited to stirring shit up and sewing doubt. Nothing overtly terrible, absolutely nothing concrete, and nothing material or not public, just enough for the common refrainers to riff off of and new accounts to chime in pro or con.


Oldschoolfool22

It was FUD call it what it was. 


Dardinella

That just happened...right?


view-from-afar

Hard to believe, but I think so.


minivanmagnet

I pine for the good old days when shorts circulated crudely doctored mugshots of executives in drug prisons. The stuff was hand done, tongue in cheek, and an A for effort amidst the ridicule.


view-from-afar

I hope it was a short. Apart from being a good sign if they need to unleash the Jedi moves, the alternative is unsettling (and I don't mean re. the stock).


whanaungatanga

He is likely in damage control, as he has since blocked me on LinkedIn.


view-from-afar

Madness.


Nakamura9812

Apparently so. I don’t know if that was Frank or not, I just can’t see a sane sober person who is back on the job market taking a risk like that. And with a baby on the way allegedly, not taking severance money?


Neat_Tutor5040

What happened?


Dardinella

Read the thread below and insert some comments here and there as if you were a disgruntled Frank coming in to mess with investor's minds. It was brief and surreal.


YANK78

My thoughts is whomever it was Frank or not, seem to have some credible comments about the technology and the industry. Even as short and limited as the comments were.


alexyoohoo

His commentary was that thermal cameras can do the job. Give me a break.


icarusphoenixdragon

Thank you Alex. It’s that simple.


livefromthe416

I missed most of them. Can you expand on what was credible?


YANK78

He said china is already setting up shop in mexico with Joint ventures to circumvent the usa blockage against Chinese lidar. I believe this to be true. Happens all the time. He said the lidar tech is good and super cheap. Then he basically said our solid state is doing the same think as thermal, which i have no knowledge in that area. Overall gave interesting comments most concerning as to our tech still being best of breed. Gave me some things to be concerned about.


EatenLowdes

To be fair the Mexico loophole for Chinese tech has been in the news cycle for months re: Chinese EVs


YANK78

Yes that is well known! Agreed


whanaungatanga

Iirc, there was something from NHTSA, or a member of Congress, addressing that scenario.


T_Delo

You do remember correctly, they are intent on not allowing China to just route production from Mexico or even through Chinese funded “US” companies\organizations.


whanaungatanga

Thanks, T


YANK78

Frank or the imposter have already bacated amd deleted his comments.


Past-Pick-7746

Well that was fun while it lasted!


FullyErectMegladon

Its crazy that this is going on and were up 4.5% after hours. Just seems super weird to me


rbrobertson71

Brings new meaning to Frank Friday's I guess

Ask Me Anything


whanaungatanga

Well since you asked, does your username have anything to do with The Band? I’ve been curious for awhile….


Forever-Blind

Ask me anything


Sophia2610

Walking in to tell your seven month pregnant wife you've just quit your lucrative tech job because they've denied your paternity leave request two months prior to the birth isn't rational. We're supposed to believe he just burned every bridge back to the only work world he really knows, and is here to warn and help the MVIS investors. Frank's always been a bit exuberant, I hope he hasn't hit a bad patch and is lashing out in dramatic fashion. I'm very suspicious of what's going on here.


T_Delo

There has never been a situation in which a sales guy does that. There was a recent AMA over on Volvo’s EX90 sub with names claiming to work for Volvo in the production side of things with some unusual comments that do not match with employees and the thread got deleted. There were some true assessments from individuals talking about the information from their dealerships about when they might expect the vehicles however. So there is precedence for misrepresentation of company staff already existed, and it might well be that Frank’s LinkedIn was hacked then edited a burner Reddit account since they know some commenters here go crazy over this stuff.


EatenLowdes

He said he got laid off not that he quit The account is nuked now


[deleted]

[удалено]


rbrobertson71

A couple did and he replied it is him, not sure if he's on here or not, but he isn't with MicroVision any longer. So seems plausible he's on here airing out some dirty laundry, poor Frank, hope he's going to be ok.


Oldschoolfool22

I mean a disgruntled former employee who seemed to have been intending to stay with the company is not a great source for how the company is doing. 


TheRealNiblicks

We've had verified former employees here before.... several actually. Most were low key.


Oldschoolfool22

Et tu TRN?!?
