There’s a tremendous amount of articles and “DD” that gets passed around this board that apparently give some BIOAQ holders hope in believing there’s a fantasy of 'magic money' that a private business will randomly give away for free to shareholders of a bankrupt, sold company. I am not going to argue the fantasy of whether a fictitious merge is going to happen because it is so beyond doubtful that it’s a waste of time.
Instead, I think a lot of these “DD” posts (and subsequent believers) are a bunch of old men who don’t understand how the internet works. So I want to try teaching you a bit about the sources you keep crying as "DD".
Any articles or sites you find as "DD" coming from Sarnia (the news, the partnerships, etc.) are all upkept by old men who have no idea how websites work. That's why BioAmber might be on an old site here or there. Frankly, those in the community still call certain places by their old names all the time (Ex. Arlanxeo is called Lanxess or Polymer all the time). As for videos where so-and-so is wearing a BIOA hardhat, they're allowed! The trade names for BioAmber were sold, so any document you see with "bioamber ____" is owned by LCYB. Just the same as some companies in the valley who have updated names/logos, who still use old work trucks with the old logos! It's VERY common place in the Sarnhole. My buddy has an old truck with an original Polymer parking sticker still! It's worthless!
Then there's articles posted by Biowin and/or whitegold3 (who are likely the same person based on their vocabulary choices, writing styles, etc.) These kinds of posts are SEO blogs meant specifically for generating content and searchable information.
Polyestertime.com for example is a Wordpress site used solely for reprinting content from various other sources - most of which are outdated. The trick with SEO is where the more content that is created about a specific topic (BIOA for example), the more search engines pick it up, and the more traffic/exposure it receives. Oddly though for this scenario, traffic doesn’t make much sense as it’s not selling anything... It's usually meant to attract buyers to a certain purchase, not random people to a dead company... I don't see a lot of regurgitated blogs about the White Rose stores and their rise from the dead...
Greenserendipity.nl is an interesting site, found from the Netherlands. This looks a little legitimate because it "comes from another country", but remember it can be created/bought from anyone at all.
The domain was registered/created on Apr 8, 2011 but it falls in the old info category but more importantly the site greenserendipity.nl is also registered/owned/run by with MANY other site names such as (but not limited to): bioplasticshub.com/ and.eu, circularconcepts.eu/and .nl, circularpackaging.eu/and .nl, renewablecarbonmaterials.com/, .eu/, and .nl, renewablecarbonplastics.com/, .eu/, and .nl, bioplasticshub.com/ and .eu, etc. etc.
plasticstoday.com is the same basic SEO style 'content filling, ad revenue catching' blog style sites. Firstly let’s address that the articles about BIOA were written years ago, before the sale and liquidation. The good news is that you can read the same articles on the following sites:
www.k-online.com DuPont + Braskem, Faurecia + Bioamber: Collaboration as a game changer in bioplastics
www.plasticsinfomart.com DuPont + Braskem, Faurecia + Bioamber: Collaboration as a game changer in bioplastics.
Do you see a trend yet?
All are suspiciously SEO style blogs, again not credible sources but rather regurgitated content that people are choosing to believe.
Then there are "DD" sources from OLD sites, such as Biofuelsdigest.com. This site does appears to have a reasonable reputation as it checks off many boxes of ‘credibility’: has contact information (names, emails, and phone numbers), and has a long history of posting multiple articles of information (though many are reused content). The site may seem credible, but it’s using old, VERY old information.
And finally we have patents. Frankly, I am too tired to even talk about the patents because they are a specialty all on their own. If you have a question about whether a company owns a certain patent, I suggest giving them a call.
Good luck!
