Dear sir or madam,
I would like to call your attention to a company called Ziasun Technologies. They are a nonreporting, OTC-BB company in the internet industry. Cause enough for an investigation you say? I agree, but fortunately there is more than that. In a February press release, the company's CEO, Mr. Tobin stated that it took 4 months for the company's programmers to develop its Swiftrade software. Posters on Silicon Investor have established that ZSUN did not develop the software at all, but rather they contracted to use someone else's already developed program. This is an out and out lie by the company!! Please read the ZSUN thread on the SI board for details on this and other suspicious activities by this company. I have attached a few posts below that hit on some key points, but I truly hope you can find the time to read the entire thread and do some of your own investigating. Thank you for your time.
