From the company's posture in press interviews and releases you can tell that they don't believe 24 hour, unmanned, access to marijuana is socially tolerable at present. To me that means that while the company has that market potential in mind, they are not going to go there anytime soon. It appears the company realizes that the world isn't ready for that, but their existing business model makes a lot of sense for compliance, it seems.
As for the "national press" coming out this week as to Vincent's prior treachery and debaucherous behavior. Here's why it won't happen, or even if it does happen, won't matter:
1) Vincent himself announced in a press release he filed for Bamkruptcy protection in 2010, and that he had a less than spotless past. That makes the juicy story moot in the eyes of journalists.
2) Vincent is not an officer or director of the public company. However as a majority shareholder has to come clean about his past in the Form 10. Vincent just as easily done what other true scumbags would have done and transferred control on paper to a friend or relative and avoid the public scrutiny of his past, but instead is owning it and writing a book about it. The Form 10 once again makes the scathing article supposedly being written again moot.
3) the company has no complaints from shareholders, clients, or anyone. No lawsuits for a reporter to hang their hat on. Nothing but actual company business. Lobbying, acquisitions, and a top notch executive team. Again, where is the story.
4) investors don't care that the idea guy that patented the technology has a past. Vincent is not running for public office so until he makes a senate bid, his past is immaterial. It's not like the poor guy has ever been sentenced to a day in jail. To me, that's the true litenous test.
