    That is only half of the story - and when we sold Warthog to them, to be their games group - I wish I knew that stuff......

    But man, working for Con men, sucks, big time.....they use your reputation to make things happen and taint you as well.

    Not a good period in my life, at all....it hurt having to lay off 600 people, of which about 100 were friends, and had worked for me for 5+ years....worst time of my life.

    Now - I am on a new adventure, still not perfect, but it is more interesting.

    BTW- I am completely embarassed that I fell for this crap - I mean I was all in thinking we were building Captain Kirk's communicator and it turns out we were lining the pockets of con men.....just a horrible experience.

    DD, you've led an interesting life to say the least. I'd definitely buy that book if you ever write it!
