>> Even your worst case conclusion is that Par associated with the associate of a criminal. << I've heard the story a few times that Mike Milken called Lee Iaccoca from his jail cell to to offer some advise about an upcoming securities issue. I don't know if it is truth or legend but I THINK it is true because I've heard it many times and from different sources. By the same standards that many people are trashing Osicom, ALMOST EVERY FORTUNE 500 CEO IN THE COUNTRY could be trashed based on this little anecdote alone. If somebody has the goods on Par or Osicom then bring them on. If these accusations can't be supported with facts, then let it go. This is America in the 1990's not Salem in the 1690's. Bryon

>> This is exactly the reason that the Barron's article is so damaging. << Osciom had declined 70% before the Barron's story. How do you explain that? Some other evil plot or story? Osicom climbed all the way back to about the same price it was when the Barron's story ran, yet it has fallen 70% again. Who is to blame for that? >> It appears that almost a year later that extensive investigations have been ongoing, still nothing directly linked to Osicom or Chadha and Witz has not been charged << It appears that the story is just beginning to unfold. "A whole bunch of people are going to go down for this stuff," asserts John W. Moscow, deputy chief of the Manhattan District Attorney's Investigation Division.
