Oakridge website is offline.

For those still keeping an eye on this train wreck of a company, I noticed today that the website is down. All the info on the site was false anyway. I guess the optimistic January update about a new investor was no more true than all the other press releases from Steve Barber!

Since this topic is ow pretty much finished, I will leave everyone with one story I was told by a former employee who had the misfortune of attending business dinners with the Barbers. Steve Barbers enjoyed having business dinners where he would "entertain" his guests with tales that always centered on how awesome the Barbers are and how much more accomplished than anyone they are.

The most telling stories involves Steve Barbers' driving expertise. He told several times the story of taking the driving test after coming to America and that the examiner stopped him mid-test and said " Mr Barber, you are the best driver I have ever seen, no need to finish the test". Does anyone believe that this actually happened?

Another story involves Barber going to a race car driving school as a young man. The school was run by a former champion that still managed a team. Barber told the story of being invited to test drive by that former champion who found him to be so talented that he offered Steve Barber a chance to drive for his team!

So the lesson of these stories is this. Be weary of investing in a company lead by someone who has an enormous ego not matched by his actual management skills.
