AENG Cliff notes through 6/22/1998: Part 4 An annotated summary of all the posts that matter. CHRIS BYRON'S CREDIBILITY AS A REPORTER: In one of the very few news pieces written about AENG, reporter Chris Byron exposes this stock as a scam. He writes a detailed article about the OX-2 engine, and provides irrefutable facts that Travis and Cummings and their friends can only respond to with name-calling. (see Article by Chris Byron,stocksite.com "Up and up the company's shares moved, until by May 19 they teetered at $26 per share, giving the company a preposterous market value of nearly $560 million - this for a company with one employee, a single show-and-tell gizmo that might or might not do what is claimed, and not a single contract with anyone to make a dime from any of it." 1) (Greg Cummings, #257,www2.techstocks.com "There's a rumor going around that someone who's shorting AENG paid a flunky reporter to write a negative story about the company. 2) (Davis Travis, #464,www2.techstocks.com "So how about that rascal Chris?" and goes on to call Byron "the cub reporter" 3) (Davis Travis, #577,www2.techstocks.com "Every time I read the Chris Byron story I see how far away it is from anything considered to be done by a real journalist." But Chris Byron is a respected journalist: Byron writes a column for MSNBC, and his New York Observer articles are posted on AOL and Westergaard Online. His work is popularly read and well-respected, but Travis and Cummings try to downplay this fact because he is exposing their scam. Funnily enough, Byron's articles are also posted on Silicon Investor's parent corporation's website (go2net.com) on stocksite.com (under "Inside Scoop")
