Press Release Archive (Resumption of text) Couple the above with nosebleedin', shin-kickin' bash feeds from Wired and the piggyback parrot-speak from Stock Detective, and it's the extent of the information we know. Every now and then someone makes a contact with a past or current company member and is able to chip in something new. But such sources for information are variable at best. But regarding your comment: "........We don't know if we have been told the truth or not do we?" There is no reason to assume we investors are victims of company lying. If anything, we've been victims of Wired's incredulously damaging reporting. The miscommunications (Universal and Digital PRs) within the period of fading and changing Zulu PR firms was not all that horrible, compared to what Wired has done to innocent investors. In my view, the company has always intended to be truthful. But multiple mergers, consolidations, hirings and firings and preparation of company component audits and gingerly dealing with big-name, big-time investors is no easy game. Thus, sometimes timetables on things tend to change, and frequently unwittingly so. And since you speak of gambles, why not gamble that these time-consuming tasks will eventually form into a powerhouse company? You see, it's reasonable to assume that we are being told the truth. Such is really how the process of business works. And we are investing into a business process, are we not? That you may have been burned before, doesn't necessarily mean that we gotta be burned now. So I'd re-examine how loosely you use the term "lying." Thank you.
