Thanks DS... Very informative. However, I cannot seem to gleen from your post as to if Hell is indeed going to freeze over? And if so, when?....:) Try to remember that when we invested in this dog over 8 years ago, Mal was surrounded by some very compitent people. But as time goes by, he has slowly but shurly wasted away the very last semblence of any legitimacy. Finally, he"s gotten to the point where his grasp on reality has come to naught, and what once may have been a viable opportunity, has come to nothing but yet another in a long list of scams perpetrated on the unsuspecting investors who believed in this mess. The due dilligence involved back then did indeed warrant investing in eegc. About 10 years ago! And without fail, its been downhill ever since!
