An open letter to: Fiver Customer Service

After placing an order for my URL to be promoted to "2Million Active" facebook users one would expect to see and increase in traffic. The order in question did not do that.

Looking further into the "Proof" that was provided by the Seller, one would notice that there was something odd.

Magical AAPL

Imaging that an announcement your company is being sued by the US Government, only effecting the price of your stock by less than 1/2 of 1%.

Magical, AAPL !!

Today Apples stock suffered a lose of $2.24 on a very interesting day for Apple.

The US Government struck down a harsh ruling today upon Apple for what could be Millions of dollars for controlling the price of eBooks.
