Well, lets not forget that Block JR did uncover some shady businesses before, the Sino Forrest thing especially seemed a very difficult thing to catch.
Just speculating here but it's noteworthy that his latest calls haven't gone so well (Toro's first article post MW counts it at 0 from 7), it could be that he put lots of time into stuff, didn't really get any smoking gun, but with eager customers to please went ahead and published anyway, something like that. Not saying that's good (far from it), but we can't take away that he made a few terrific calls earlier on. Or it could be that he's just milking his reputation (which I think was deserved until more recently).
