I do think though that you were playing the Christonson card and did not know the whole list of scammers and scammees. In my first post on the old ICVI thread I asked only: "Is this company operational". That was the first thing that interested me; apparently it wasn't, and yet all kinds of wild projections were being made in the press releases. "A half-billion dollar company in 3-6 months" was one of my favorites. Huh? Just not possible. Their source of potential--and very necessary--financing was not divulged, either. Though contributors to the thread insisted that there was one, nobody really seemed to know what it was. As things turned out, both of these questions turned out to be very much to the point. At that time, though, I thought the problem might just be inexperienced and incompetent management. Then jhild and I started looking into the Christensen connection. You're absolutely right: we both focused on that, rather than on Uselton himself. And Uselton, as we later learned, could have stood some looking at. A lot, in fact.As an example, on one of the last MTEI office open for business days, you knew about some 2:00 meeting. Not something an outsider would know. As I said in my last post, after the SEC stopped trading in the stock, several people on various sides of the issue did get in touch with me. It goes without saying that I wouldn't have known about the meeting if I hadn't been told. I've sometimes been asked to keep sources confidential, and I've been willing to do so. I do try to make it clear in those cases that I'm relaying information received, and that I have no way of verifying it independently. Hope this helps...
