If there was NEVER any intention of monetizing, not even in the beginning when 1st acquired, which is questionable in my mind, that means that when with GREAT FANFARE we were told multiple times, especially by Chang, that the newly acquired technology was going to be integrated into the vplm voip services platform, pushing vplm to the the pinnacle of the industry and to immediately begin collecting tens of millions of dollars per month in royalties and gain millions of subscribers....... then it means THAT WAS ALSO A LIE EVEN THEN WITH NO INTENTION OF DOING THAT TO BEGIN WITH.
Personally, I believe that at least some of the BOD believed in it in the very beginning, but I think it became apparent not too much later, that it was a flawed idea and hope.
I am surprised that finra/sec has not yet stepped in. They are aware of vplm and they already had a case they procecuted criminally, involving many vplm shares diverted to offshore money houses... And Kipping was also mentioned in that case, as well as vplm, so anyway I would never be surprised to see yet another case by sec.
