My post on the YMB directing readers to go to Imetelchat for details on the Joyce Reader hire was immediately "flagged" for "approval" and waiting to be "reviewed"........

"Your comment may have been sent for review for one of the following reasons:

Someone sure doesn't want FACTUAL information being posted over there. Apparently you can promote pump and dump stocks all day long and submit spam messages for Elite Club, but don't dare inform readers on recent hires by Geron on the GERN board without review.......huh???? -Kmall

Kmall, another great dig. The UK “separatist” approach to drug approval post Brexit has been intriguing. Re your YMB experience, I don’t think its a “someone” but a something, e.g. bots that flag some defined catch phrase and thus makes posting a challenge sometimes.

Bp - Joyce Reader appears to be a powerhouse in UK Regulatory submissions. I think her resume speaks for itself. Joyce Reader is one of the recent hires I personally have been looking forward to seeing for the past few months. I've also pointed out a few details with regards to global Regulatory Agencies while she was working with Big Pharma based in the UK. She obviously has the credentials and experience to see Imetelstat through the approval process around the world. From what I've seen, she seems to be as top tier as it gets. Kudos to Dr. Scarlett and Sharon McBain for getting her onboard.

On the other end of the spectrum, the "new" and "improved" YMB is proving to be nothing more than a hypocritical censored platform rife with the same old shenanigans we have grown accustomed to. I tried directing readers to Imetelchat for details on the Joyce Reader hire by Geron on the GERN board and my post was immediately flagged for "review." It was never posted. These are the 3 posts that were "rejected" for violating the YMB terms of conditions and have subsequently sidelined me from posting apparently. Here is the message I now receive for 3 "violations":

"Unfortunately, you are unable to take part in this conversation right now as your comments have been blocked too many times. Learn More...."

It's not quite clear what violations I triggered, but I was directed to a list of rules that ranged from death threats and child endangerment to copyright infringement and everything in-between.......you be the judge:

1 - Nov 6, 2022 - Your comment on Geron Corporation (GON.F) Stock Forum & Discussion - Yahoo Finance violates the community guidelines and has been rejected:

"kmall
Geron planning to add up to an additional 10% employee base by the end of the year (2022). That is quite bullish considering they are still over a year away from commercialization expectations. -Kmall"

This was in response to the Geron company PR which was released prior to the Q3 CC last week. I think "bullish" was the violation here? Kind of ironic since they have a "bullish" button to distinguish poster positions on the stock. Again not certain since my violation from Yahoo was not specified.


2 - Nov 13, 2022 - Your comment on Geron Corporation (GON.F) Stock Forum & Discussion - Yahoo Finance violates the community guidelines and has been rejected:

"kmall
From Imetechat - "Go Big Or Go Home - Pt. 3 (3)" - June 1, 2020 "In conclusion, from the 3 indications mentioned (MDS, MF, AML) here we can now project anywhere from a $5.7 - $15.6 Billion or more annual Global market. I would feel comfortable placing this estimate roughly in the middle at around $8 - $10 Billion. As stated earlier, how much of this can be carved out for Imetelstat is still shrouded in mystery, however, if the enthusiasm reflected in last Thursdays CC is any indication – I would stake my claim that it’s quite a fair share." -Kmall'

This was in response to Martin for pointing out future potential revenue stream projections to another poster on the GERN YMB board. Again, not quite sure what triggered this violation since nothing was specified, but those were not some pie in the sky figures I pulled out of thin air, as we all know many others do on that forum. I did extensive research on global patient population estimates for 3 indications (MDS, MF and AML) and current (2020) BAT costs in those indications for patient care/drug costs associated with, on both ends of the scale - high and low, for a basis on that final analysis/conclusion.


3 - Nov 15, 2022 - Your comment on Geron Corporation (GON.F) Stock Forum & Discussion - Yahoo Finance violates the community guidelines and has been rejected:

"kmall
1 share of JNJ for 2 shares of GERN. -Kmall"

This of course is pure speculation on my end based on researching this company and the newly hired employees (post JNJ collaboration) associated with. Just a hunch/guess on my part, and a reply hidden deep in a thread while responding to another posters inquiry on a future partner/acquisition. If opinions are a violation, then guilty as charged.

*From what I can tell, it seems to be a violation to post factual information, opinions based on actual research, or even opinions for that matter. It appears that the "new and improved' YMB is following the playbook of pre-Elon Musk Twitter......what a sad commentary on our 1st Amendment rights as Americans these days. -Kmall

Reviewing the 3/2018 10k filing recently, I stumbled upon this little nugget, which is a peak at the future Regulatory strategy enacted by Geron:

Pg. 44:

"In addition, in June 2016, the electorate of the United Kingdom voted to exit the European Union, and in March 2017 the Government of the United Kingdom initiated the formal procedure of withdrawal from the European Union. While the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union is to be completed in 2019, the exact timing of the withdrawal and the resulting effect of withdrawal will not be known for some time, which could lead to a period of considerable uncertainty relating to our ability to obtain and maintain Supplementary Protection Certificates (SPCs) of our products based on our United Kingdom patents and our ability to establish and maintain European trademarks in the United Kingdom."

https://fintel.io/doc/sec-gern-geron-10 ... h-16-17947

It's no wonder that Geron hired Sharon McBain to set-up shop in the UK to start developing a Regulatory team and an office there. Dr. Scarlett had quite a bit on his plate at that time, and that decision moving forward may prove to be more insightful than many realize.

There's quite a bit more eye-opening crystal ball moments in that 10k if anyone cares to review. -Kmall
