The way I look at it is there is talk and there is results. Someone can say he or she has a million dollars, but if you check his or her bank statment and it says he or she only has $1,000 then he or she is not a millionaire.
What I look at is results, talk means nothing if there is no results. Could Chip have setup everything for Ian? That I do not know. If he did, why did he leave the company? If you were Chip and had setup Neomedia for great financial success would you just leave the company? Let's say they forced Chip to leave the company. If Chip knew what he did would have a positive effect on the company I would think he would have at least bought stock in the company with his own money. It just does not add up to me.
All I know is that with Ian he is getting things done. He is making connections with other companies and telling us about it. He is not just talking about doing something, he is getting things done. If Chip was accomplishing something then why did he not put out PR's. Why would he let someone else take credit for what he accomplished?
Just my thoughts.
