It went public to manipulate. The CEO turned out to be as big of a crook as the Operation Uptick & Bermuda Short racketeers invovled with his stock offering. You are absolutely correct it was, may I add, an eloborate stock promotion. You are wrong though regarding the existance of business and products. In fact, the finely presented products and big commercial business spaces were all parts of an elaborate front for the racketeers, promoters and insiders to exploit at the public's expense. The best thing about AZNT though was it made very clear, by their postings, that bashers on SI were sympathetic, in fact diligent, on behalf of Wolfson's Operation Uptick co-conspirators, Andy Mann, Cary Cimino and John Fasano, as well as Bermuda Short racketeer George Doumanis, Carmine Bua, Peter Schur, Kenneth Wiseman, Arthur Murray Smolensky and other familar names on Silicon Investor and Raging Bull. It was obvious, by their actions/postings who the bashers aligned with. In retrospect, green, unsophisticated investors were who supported the AZNT market and they were the ones who were hurt the most by the crooks-doing-crooks in antics of these racketeers with Mike Sylver. It is like what Kenneth Wiseman posted in regards to the $10k fine he suffered from the NASD in his Tower Equities' scam with Phillip Lehman, "...it's the cost of doing business" . All of these guys like Doumanis, Mann, etc., they'll go right back and pick-up where they left off. In fact, Sylver already has another "sweetner" he's touting.
