Larry, he's not an officer, it was 20 years ago, I'm not concerned. However, if it was Bill Jackson it would be different matter. <VBG>

Well, Larry - it cuts it with me. Twenty years ago I know someone who lost a wallet in a bar, the ID was used by a RING to pass fake paychecks at SUPERMARKETS befor the photo machines were installed in that decade and way befor computers. His lawyer told him the same thing. That Bud FOUGHT it and WON, even tho the lawyer said plead Nono Contender ( no contest ) and let the judge decide. He fought to clear his record as that was the right thing to do, and he won with a clear RECORD! The judge would not allow him at the first court date to simply say.." I just lost my wallet!" or for him to say "It wasn't me !" All the judge said is be quiet because YOU could end up in 2 years at the state pen! That is swift justice and the guy spent TIME, MONEY and emotional stress that did not need to happen cause he was innocent and just lost his wallet. I see similarities in The Twifford story and support that reasoning as well, now. Hang in there all. Chuca

Like some others, I am not ready to merely dismiss the Twiford tale. He may not be an officer of the company, but he may be in a position of enough responsibility that untoward actions on his part could deceive Jensen and the company officers as well as shareholders. Recent scandals elsewhere have not always involved top company officials; often, the perpetrators are underlings, and the company has inadequate controls. Controls are not something I think of as a gppi strong point. None of this is to say there is any real grounds for suspicion of wrong doing. But in an industry as noteworthy for scams as mining, gpgi stook out because of the widely acclaimed integrity and honesty of Jensen. That image now has a blemish. It will take a fuller explanation or some quick reports of verifiable progress to erase the blemish.
