Thank you for confirming that the claim that John is the only one who can run the tape machines was false. I knew it was a lie, but it's nice to hear from an insider.

Wrong about the tape photo's on the website. I believe those photo's were taken out of the Niagara Falls, Ontario site. I personally saw dozen's of skids piled high with tapes. In the early days of the company, before JBI went public, I helped with the processing of the tapes, they were working 24 hours a day, this would be before the process was perfected and done on one machine, at that time it involved two machines, all I did was put tapes in, the machine did the rest. John was still working on making the process more efficient. He would still be there at 3 am (I witnessed this) and was there long after I left.

I have no idea about what happened at the site near MIT, but I know that the tape reading business is not smoke and mirrors.

JB totally disagrees with you. He says it takes a significant amount of his own personal time to "analyze". Funny if he just does a bit to bit conversion to modern media........

I'm sorry, but your are wrong too. Only JBI is able to get the data off the tapes, it would be nothing but code but only JBI can get that code off the tapes and onto a hard drive. But that is only part one of the process. Analyzing the data is a second step, that is the time consuming part that John does not have time for at this time. Again, NASA could not make any sense of the information John gave them so they asked him to analyze it as he has more expertise in this area and is code not used for many decades.

Thank you for confirming that the claim that John is the only one who can run the tape machines was false. I knew it was a lie, but it's nice to hear from an insider.

A few questions for ya. When did you become aware that the tape business had never made a penny? Did John tout his tape business a being highly profitable to you? Do you know Rui Gamma? What was his role working in the Cambridge office? On the one hand, they claim John is the only one who can run the tape drives, yet John was in Canada, so why did they put a bunch of tape drives in Cambridge? It only makes sense that they were for show.

Did John tell you the stock was going to go to $20? I have heard from many sources that that is how he sucked in investors and employees. What do you think of the emails written by John were he outlines his stock promotion plan? Did you know that is what he was up to? Did you find it odd that he said that is what was taking up his time for the last 5 weeks? Shouldn't he have been running the company rather that working on a stock promotion campaign. Do you think John will be indicted? Do you think the other stock promoters will be indicted?
