Allen, No where near Deswell's factory, not related to or similar to Deswell in any way except that the Barrington handled both IPOs. The man was the CEO of a Chinese company (AEHCF) and a high ranking member of the Communist Party. The situation was due to mishandling by local authorities and has the attention of Beijing - and Washington. Deswell is a NASDAQ Holding Company operating out of HK with facilities in China. Others with facilities in China include IBM, Motorola, Compaq, Chrysler, McDonalds, etc. To those considering Deswell - they are having their problems due the Asia situation. I feel it to be an excellent company for long term, but there is risk short term. The earnings report will be out in a few days and will be an indicator of how well they are performing. FWIW, Ron
