It is a good thing to be skeptical of what people say, including myself. I would certainly hope you apply that same skepticism to any claims relating to everm. To answer a few of the other posts in general: no insider info (everything I said except from my Korean source is public record that took me some time to undercover); evermedia paid no money for the patents just stock (in evermedia of course) and promises of future payment. My source in Korea is real and knows the original patent holder. You have all been warned sufficiently. Have fun.

Thank you for the fair question. First, I need to correct one thing, Evermedia does not "own" 80% of STS. I am not sure where you are getting that from but it simply is not true and really cannot be true or STS would cease to exist (there are restrictions on STS ownership that, if violated, would negate the government contracts it has been awarded). I can't say much more on that other than to suggest that you go back and read the announcements or whatever makes you think that carefully. Second, STS to a degree is also a victim of what I refer to as a convuluted ponzi scheme. They have gone as far as they have gone with evermedia based on the same empty claims that center around the "valuable patents" evermedia was given by the Korean company. The incorrect belief that there was real value there is what led STS to partner with evermedia in the first place (great salesmanship really when you can sell nothing and get something). That incorrect belief will eventually lead to STS and evermedia seperating (it will be ugly). Evermedia will then start looking around for other patsies to help it shore up their attempt to create something from nothing. Again, go back to basics: what value did evermedia bring to the party? What product? The answer is really nada. Once you see that, you might get the whole picture. Hope this helps.

According to my source in Korea, they did not really buy the patents (they paid no money for them) but the patents were given to them for the prospect of future payment. Now really how valuable can these patents be if the owner gives them away on the hope that someone can maybe make some money from them some day. The patents are old and the algorithms have never been used in a commercial product and have not been updated for over a decade. In the technology world that's a lifetime. Again, there is no product, there is no integration with other systems, there is nothing here. The emperor is stark naked folks.

Hmmm, so this is the board of true believers who feel it is better to personally attack someone instead on considering or at least rebutting their posts. Cool! Listen up all you EVRM group thinkers... the emperor has no clothes. There are no valuable patents (and no EDS did not do any DD on the value of the patents when they teamed with evermedia. It was the salesmanship of the CEO and a little bit of relationship politRicks that skidded those tracks) and there is no product. Please, oh please show me that I am wrong. Tell me what company has evermedia products running? Tell me where to look on their website for products they make? How many actual software developers or EE's do they have on staff? What a joke. Listen, if you all have money to risk on an investment that is based on smoke and mirrors, then go ahead. But do not for a minute think that this is more than Schtick! At some point STS will wake up and EVRM will have to move on to its next ponzi patsy partner. You were warned so no crying when it all goes bust! Group think, you gotta love it.

Stervc -- I have done quite a bit of DD actually, more than you will ever know. The interesting thing here is that EVRM is really trying to feed off (like a parasite) the STS Corporation which in fact appears to be a real going concern. EVRM touts STS's success as EVRM's own, where the real value is in STS and the contracts they have won. This is exactly what he did with EDS and EVRM's patented technology. The patented technology is old and will never be used in a commercial product (if you doubt this, please submit proof to the contrary. Show me where the company has developed a commercial product or plans to do so). The fact is evermedia biometrics was never a going concern and now EVRM wants to keep what is real a convuluted ponzi scheme alive by feeding off STS. As for EDS/HPs DD, the US NAVY, The DEPT of the ARMY, etc. you should know that their DD is very limited in terms of teaming agreements and subcontractors and so on. And of course if you are wondering how EVRM could fool all of them, well the same of course is being asked of Bernie Madoff. My only real argument is this: show me the product!!!

simply check out their website at www.evermediabiometrics.com.
You will not see anything there that says they have a product. Even better call them up and ask them to send you a brochure or something like I did. Ask them how many units they have installed? Ask them where they manufacture their units? It really will not take much digging to learn "the truth". The patents you can look up yourself and see that they are very old. 5 years is a long time with technology and these are well over 10 years I believe. Since they have never manufactured any commercial units, they would really have no reason ever to upgrade the technology which essentially means they are touting software technology that is untested and over 10 years old. Forewarned is forearmed.

Please be aware that, if anything, EVRM is over valued and should be avoided at all costs. The biometrics patented technology is very very old and there has never been a commercial product developed from the technology. The patents were acquired from a Korean company that simply never went anywhere. The valueless petents are used as the draw to attract people to invest. The CEO/chief salesman of evermedia biometrics, Jonathan Sym, touts the patents to anyone who will listen hoping to essentially get something for nothing. He has even gotten EDS, an established, reputable company, to sign a teaming agreement, based on the value of the patented technology, to work on biometrics projects for the government even though they (evermedia) have no product and no real engineering staff to speak of. Really, avoid anything to do with Evermedia. When the house of cards falls down, you'll be glad you did.
