So many things vplm has said, done, not done, have made no sense, but even more nonsensical than that, when msg board goers who ought to know the difference between sense and nonsense when it's pointed out to them, choose instead to stick up for ea other, often kissing A, and allowing themselves to be hugely biased instead of fair and balanced. That's ok tho as it's to be expected on such otc, less than 2 cent, romper room spectacles of a stock.
It's just like politics, honest forthright opinions breed contempt in an environment such as this where with the help and encouragement of administration, anything goes. It's same as the old wild west. And so it goes....
If vplm/digiphony-ca had been truthful about spending better part of $20 mil on creation of patents.......and.......been truthful about the test results of purported worldwide nodal testing........and........been truthful about the value and foundational aspects of the core patents.......then...........any truly reasonable person, knowing that vplm had been, for approx the previous 10 yrs, a voip service provider with a so called, alleged voip service platform...........would, upon finding out about the upcoming acquisition of the patent suite (applications and 1 patent), been absolutely overjoyed and super anxious to know vplm's stated promise to integrate the technology, into their already existing voip platform........and would have no reason not to believe the statements by vplm PRs, that doing so would immediately begin to increase their subscriber base by millions and start bringing in from tens to hundreds of millions of dollars in royalty revenues, as well as bringing the company to the absolute forefront of voip services providers, to be the king of the hill. This is what the PRs pounded out quite often for over 2 yrs that it took to finalize the acquisition (even tho almost every single PR put out during that over 2 year period, continually claimed the deal was done and final, beginning in late 2010 or at the latest, early 2011 and continuing with that BS until the deal was truly done in the end of December 2013). So it was more like 3 yrs of that BS, blatantly lying PRs, mostly put out by Chang, who has been reaping the benefits ever since and to this day. All the rest of the BOD, which was taken over by DIGI, as well as the orig vplm peeps, have since left, some quite mysteriously or by strange circumstances...
Point is, IF all that slung crap was TRUE back then.....then the acquisition and integration would've been a match made in heaven and that's exactly what they wanted all to believe so they could garner a huge new base of shareholders and buying of shares. And everyone here bought it all, hook, line and sinker. You couldn't ask for a better set of developments for a voip service provider...
So the stage was set... Personally, I had bought into vplm long before all that but when I heard about the patents, I was so excited and the whole thing held great promise for me. I should have known better as I had already spent 5 yrs with another can't miss, highly touted, seemingly well supported play with TIV, who eventually blew all minds by being shut down by the sec after a 50 yr operation and a highly respected and beloved ceo. Fines, jail, bans, etc.
It was a major learning process for me, fairly new to buying and selling stocks. But still I got hooked by the bs vplm STORY because it was so well told and I was already involved in the technical world and knew about voip and knew it was going places.
So as the price kept rising after my 2 cent entry, I kept buying and buying and buying, same as many did and still do. But when they threw the ENTIRE SCRIPT OUT THE WINDOW AND UNDER THE BUS, I knew something was very wrong. But no one else seemed to even give it a 2nd thought. Instead, EVERYONE HERE.....almost to a person.....was completely convinced that the company or the patents would be sell for a great deal of money, very soon.......esp. with the continuing lies from the company that deals were on the table and doors were being beat down by S&P and fortune 500 companies. Vplm LAID THE BULLSHIT ON AS THICK AS THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH IT and they have a long history of being able to slide on any and all bs they chose to sling, to this day.
Lord Emu was well versed and well practiced and very smart, by this time on how to put a very intricate and sophisticated personal enrichment scheme that worked and continues work to this day. Ironically, he even was found guilty a couple yrs back, of rogue personal enrichment as well as breaching his fiduciary duty, by a jury of his peers, and so to, the rest of the BOD was found. But he was at the top of the list.
The main point here is if vplm patents were ALL they were cracked up to be, vplm would have had every reason to stick with the plan. But for no good reason, and no fore announcement, no voting, no warning, no apparent rhyme or reason THEY RENEGED on vplm and on all of us and have been reaping the benefits ever since, in the face of and against all their loyal shareholders. And now, after collecting 40% of everything for years, are now selling bazillion of shares as fast as they can unload them, killing the pps and gaining them many millions of bucks at shareholders expense while the beliebers still belieb and praise and support them.......well, not as much as before, eh?
