Don't think so. If AWS seen Veri as major partner or competitor would have snatched up or at least invested in a long time ago. That never happened and doesn't look like going to happen any time soon. If cared about Veri wouldn't let them take out usury loan and give away 3 mil shares just a few months ago. AWS got 100 bil war chest and growing. 1 bil to them is peanuts.
