Mr. Gordon granted himself 5% of our company in just one , move last year. He also is the beneficial owner of more than 40% due to option grants.

A CLEAR ACCOUNTING so that sunshine will get rid of some of the stink. Once again, I continue to support Mr. Gordon and applaud the current initiative, but let's be realistic and tie his compensation to performance delivered, not the surrounding hype. Sword.Com
