Erlich’s whole spiel was, by his own admission, all bullshit.

He even says “I know something they DON’T KNOW, the uptick…” so prior to going into the meeting, Coleman Blair didn’t know about “the uptick”.

Jared on the other hand knows the EXACT AMOUNT of users that are not legitimate, as he paid for them by the number, per his discussion with the guy doing the Click Farm.

They could have EASILY gone into the meeting with the Real Numbers and nobody would have known anything about the uptick or “Inflection Point” anyways… so why reveal any “new users” at all when you’ve already got an offer for funding (several actually, bidding against each other) without any contingencies that need to be met?
