Just got done speaking with Mr. Umbra. The man was incredibly gracious with his time and actually seemed enthusiastic to speak with me. Just some initial thoughts, the man seems like he is definitely on top of his game. He’s clearly intelligent, very quick and comes across very genuine. He’s difficult to not like. He engaged me and asked about me and my thoughts on the company and what I thought about the job he was doing so far. That was a bit awkward because I have been with the company 4 yrs and am not particularly happy about how I became involved. I was honest and told him he doesn’t seem like the guys that originally brought me and a few of my friends in but I am waiting to see the proof. The original fellars out there in Kansas are undoubtedly criminals and should be locked up. Mr. Umbra agreed that ther were some “bad actors” as he calls them in the beginning and he made some mistakes in trusting some folks when he shouldn’t have. He quickly pointed out that those folks were gone and would never be coming back. He actually seemed quite irritated by them but wouldn’t, for legal reasons, go into it. Hopefully they are going after them.
Enough of my rant. I am an old man and that funny business gets me worked up. I have a lot of money invested in this company and I would like to see some of it come back. Mr. Umbra definitely gives me hope.
I asked him what he was doing in Texas and all he would say is that he had some business to attend to. When I pressed him if he was there for the Hurricane or for the research arm that they have there, he said he was “not at liberty to discuss it”. I asked him about why the offices in Texas were no longer listed on the company web page and he told me it was for security concerns. He then asked if there were any other questions or concerns I would like to discuss and I got the very real feeling that he was not happy about me asking so many questions about Texas and what they do there so I quickly changed the subject because I thought he might hang up. I told him that I was sort of representing some folks on a chat board and they had some questions if he didn’t mind taking a few? He instantly changed tone and sounded happy. He told me to ask as any questions as I wanted and that if I was in contact with them now he would answer them real time! I said lets get through the questions I have and then I would tell everyone that I was on the phone with you. He agreed.
