I agree that investing in employees is a good thing. But going overboard when shareholders are taking it on the chin is another thing. This is just another example of Shareef not caring in the least for shareholder value. He's become a dilution machine along with being a weak leader due to ever-changing deals and hiring those so-called expert and industry leading employees to do jobs that ended up needing the hiring of outside companies to do.

I had a feeling Ben was gone awhile ago when he was publishing 3 different articles on 3 different companies. He was with the company for a little over a year and got over 7 million shares. I wish him the best but it does raise some questions.....questions that won't get answered because Shareef doesn't care to communicate with shareholders. He sold us already and we are bag-holders.

Ben brought Adaptive into the shell and he loves what Qayed is doing. Moved on ? He's as pumped up about ADTM(D) as ever ......

"Speaking of employees, sadly, Ben Padnos seemed to have moved on. His linked page indicates he ended employment with Adaptive in June 2014. I am not sure what to make of this."
