"We have since learned that Vapor! will not ship until "1st Quarter 1999."" Sorry, Elaine, you forgot to read the first portion of the sentence (all but the last four words). From Business Wire: "Iomega's Clik! Mobile Drives are expected to be available in the U.S. in late fourth quarter of 1998 or first quarter of 1999." I know that your calendar is slightly different from the real world's, but please try to go by Julian dates, so the rest of us can understand you. BTW, when you extrapolate, I do not call you a liar, so when someone else extrapolates, please extend him/her the same courtesy. to wit: "Vapor will be here this week" is obviously a "forward-looking statement." With all your financial prowess, you should have recognized that right off. and "Vapor! is in Ingram's inventory" was actually )paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact phrasing) "Clik! now has Ingram SKU numbers!" which could well be a verifiable fact, but neither you nor I have access to that data. And what's all this about the Southeastern Conference wanting to know about Iomega? Utah isn't even in the SEC, nor Utah State nor Brigham Young. What would they care?

These lies are only the most recent. There are plenty more where that came from, and I'm sure some investors bought IOM stock based on these and other lies by Bateh. The SEC is going to find out about this. Count on it. Hunter, Allen, Philip, and others. This time, Mr. Reid has not only gone to far, he has sunk his own ship. If some investors have bought IOM stock based on lies by Bateh, than surely other prospective investors have sold or failed to purchase IOM stock based upon Mr. Reid's misrepresentations including his repeated assurances about HiFud's and Castlewood Orb's release dates. Since Mr. Reid has now made the admission that lies about the release date of a product is reason for a complaint to the SEC, then a compilation of Mr. Reid's lies should be sent to the SEC. I suggest that this compilation be included in this thread and be labelled as such. Mr. Reid might also want to know that the SEC has the power to determine if Mr Reid has been compensated for his posts on this and other threads. Moreover, a determination can be made by the SEC as to whether Mr. Reid acted in consort with "respected" journalists such as Michael Brush of Money Online Magazine (sub nom "Vanni Resta") or Herb Greenburg of TheStreet.com who has financial relationships with one James Cramer who manages a hedge fund--the very type of fund that precipitated a near financial crisis this past summer.
