Gerald, more poop on Coop below. He appears to be a tech giant, a good person to have on the team. But I don't think he is a MHTX board member, but for sure he's a key advisor to the BOD on the commitee and possibly a large share holder in the investment group???? By the way, did PJTV sell their remaining 20 million shares of MHTX or does VIDI own the shares now? anyone know?
