There is a small working group that includes some very very talented researchers who have gone way beyond my modest little initial postings.
A short teaser. There is more to come.
We now have a small mountain of hard cold facts that will show a long sustained career of shadowy marketing and fraudulent activity by Kaplan and his other known associates.
There will be no doubt in the end that Kaplan was not a pollster and had some financial interest in misrepresenting himself and the activities of Gravis Marketing.
Let me make this absolutely clear. No doubt. None.
The information is so categorical, and so voluminous that it will raise substantial questions as to how the polling community could be so completely duped.
We have reason to believe that even the claim to attend DeVry, not a particularly bold claim, may not be true.
In fact the only fact that Kaplan has put out that we cannot refute is this one

No one was there but made the following report
The office is about 10x10.. very small with 4 small desks inside.

has published a statistical exam of Gravis Marketing and concluded that the numbers published are not statistically possible given the sample size. You need to follow his careful point by point argument to get the full weight but this chart gives you the idea:
That article has become the foundation for a thread at Intrade:

thanks to EmeraldCityGrl for the heads up on that
