NOTE: I do NOT know if Tobin Smith listed below under "Person: Tobin Smith" is the same Tobin Smith as the editor of ChangeWave, etc. Since I think Tobin Smith of ChangeWave was involved in both MobilePro & Marketocracy Funds, you might check further into the relationship of NuWave Technologies, Inc. & Turnaround Partners & Lehigh Acquisition Corp. & Kipling Holdings, Inc, and etc.

*** Incognitus, 2007-08-13: "Tobin Smith's dark side" (NOTE: I do NOT see any current items on the website, ie all appear to be out of date material, but I might have missed them.) http://www.thinkfn.com/en/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=89 You might also want to contact the individual who wrote this to make sure it is still the author's opinion or to see if the author has legal confirmation regarding the statements issued in this ThinkFN comment by Incognitus, 2007-08-13 (it appears this website is not in USA, ie messages in Portuguese, but I did select English ) On the About Us webpage: Why do we use nicknames ? ....Many times, we will be touching hot subjects in our articles.
