HERE'S THE NEWS

(the quotes are direct, the rest is paraphrasing the best I can.)

I just spoke to NPEC's Dave.

***

He said that their "joint venture partner's" attorney wants to ensure that the two companies releases' coincide and correlate. Unfortunately their attorney was not available Friday afternoon.

He said he "believed" that the news would be out Monday, but would only "guarantee" that it "would be out early next week".

He further stated that "There are a series of news releases coming out over the next 2-3 weeks" which will put together the puzzle that's forming in everyone's minds as to what is going to happen with NPEC and MetroPlus.

***

He answered my call on a Saturday afternoon/evening. He was patient and articulate. He was forthcoming, but not at all irresponsible with the information he gave me. He invited me to join their information mailing list, and he wished me a good evening.

While I am not a blind believer, I am an extremely picky person when it comes to peoples PR skills, diction, demeanor, etc. I've been in his job before, and I've even been in this situation of delay for the same reasons.

I liked what he said, and how he said it, for what it's worth.

Anthony, in reply to your request, I will post what info I have been able to dig up (acuracy not guaranteed):

12/16/98 NASD suspension, action initiated by NASD,

allegations: Failing to pay an arbitration award in arbitration case.

Sanction: Suspension

Associated Person: Amr Ibrahim Elgindy

Since I believe that you have previously made the claim that you have worked side by side with everybody on the Street, maybe if you think long and hard you'll remember this guy/gal and/or the "associated person". I mean, it looks like he was only recently thrown out by the NASD, surely you must know him.
