... WAS ... ???

re: I still think FBN was the real deal

What do you mean "WAS" ???

Obviously you haven't kept up with the many companies we have acquired over the years since we dominated the Y2K solutions market. Back then our products were automated. The only thing our customers had to do was execute the simplified installation procedures and then the products took care of the rest of the user's issues. All automated. No muss, no fuss.

Fully automated, of course.

We became known as the "do it 2 it" company (in honor of our y2k legacy).

But, our financial whiz kids figured out a better way to increase our bottom line profits.

Now we sell mediocre products at a "special discount", then charge outlandish fees for the services to make them work in a user's environment.

Our most recent acquisition was a startup interplanetary rocket firm, which we immediately renamed to "SpaceY" (again, in honor of our y2K legacy). "SpaceY" is the soon-to-be successor to "SpaceX".

All acquisitions were, of course, funded entirely in stock. The stock with the super-secret ticker that only certain corporate insiders knew about. Thus, existing shareholders benefited from our phenomenal growth, without the dilution of thousands of new stockholders wanting to get in on the action.

Those existing shareholders had ... ready?

... Absolutely NOTHING to worry about.

Sure is a pretty day.
