WO Group Inc. (fka PAPA)

[Maria56]

I believe that Doug MacAfee heard of Mama's Direct for the first time when I called Sous Vide yesterday. I notice that he incorrectly called it "mama's kitchen" in the first email he sent you. You'd think he'd know the name if it was very familiar.

Be very careful believing what some here may say. I did some more research earlier today and learned the following:

Patent was assigned May 26, 2012 to JSW Lending, Inc.
JSW Lending, Inc was registered in NEVADA on March 23, 2012.
Its officers are Michael Johnston, Stanley Smith and Rufus Wolff.
Get it? JSW - Johnston, Smith, and Wolff. The address of Johnson & Associate, CPA, of Little Rock, Arkansas is the address of record.

Not JRW Lending as in James R. Wheeler.
Not Mama's Direct.
Not Papa Bello Enterprises.
And there are no connections that I can find between Jim and JSW Lending. What the relationship is between SousVide Supreme and JSW Lending is unknown, but Doug's response: "The patent belongs to us alone, no one else."

And however others appear to be spinning this, Doug's second email seems quite unequivocal:

They will not be selling our products. This photo was taken from one of our legitimate retailers and photo shopped to change the logo, we believe.
Again, we are not affiliated with them and have not plans to do so.

NOTE word use: not be selling, photo was taken, legitimate retailers, photo shopped...we believe

MacAfee said in the first email, "We are addressing this issue..." I wonder HOW.
