"One needs to carefully do their own DD when reading these posts on SI." Amen, brother.

Just to amuse ourselves, lets assume that each of the Series C participants purchased a ratable share of the preferred stock. Post conversion, BGF would own 145,687 shares of the World Gate common stock at $16.50 per share. From all indications, WorldGate appears to be a hot issue. Lets say it pops to $50. That give BGF a $4.9 MM gain spread over approximately 19.7 MM shares. $.25 per share, untaxed and restricted. Hardly worth the effort.

Glenn-Thanks for finding info on Worldgate....

I kept searching for written proof but couldn't find it.

When you said previous info may not be accurate, could you please explain? According to TFSM S-1, they own 14.3% of stock. Based on Market Cap I got from Yahoo, that would equal approx 2.2 million shares?

Any input is greatly appreciated. I'm just learning about this Co. like everyone else.

The more minds, the better
