Well, I guess the AR will tell us if they bought in, and if so how much.

I did some more reading, including the things you mentioned, and it looks like you were right Doo.

So here's my theory as it stands, based on the timeline, and what's we've posted and talked about thus far-

Sym is in NJ looking for opportunities in the community (after all he did join that commerce board). This makes sense, after all he did move there. Fine. No problem.


Comes across tapinto around September/October, writes for a hobby or some extra side cash, soon decides to buy in and be the main editor around November.

Tells his team, they oppose the idea.

He does it anyway, so December rolls around as the deal is between EVRM and TAPINTO is closed and finalized, Robert quits, Lawrence leaves the country either leaving the company all together, or diminishing his role to the point he is effectively no longer involved.
(not sure who else worked there and what their status is or is not at the current time)

tapinto has the new ownership (SYM) take over in January without the previous EVRM team giving him effective control over both operations. It's been about a month in a half, sym can "honestly" say he's in a new business to "diversify revenue", even if that revenue is practically 0.

I have no experience with newspapers, so I can't really speak to it but I can't imagine with the pittance of views they have that they make any real money (you've seen the numbers doo, I suspect you will agree). So WHY take that job? Why buy into that company?

Influence? Access?
