I denied being compensated as for my own safety. I can't explain that anymore. But I am OPENLY being compensated for my time and effort.
That is bullshit and you know it. You already implicated yourself in an illegal operation as soon as you started the thread and admitted to being the rep. Your personal safety had nothing to do with your omission.
You tried to use your name and reputation to convince Meso members that you were essentially a paying customer of this lab, and that you just wanted to share what you believe is a good source. Admitting to receiving compensation would have changed how your message was received.
