I emailed Ms. Clifford and will post any responses here.
My guess is Spooz is not involved, based on previous emails, but now I am doubting that guess.
Sure would explain why Spooz never took down those PRs from the front page of their website. I found that fact particularly curious when they took the Bloomberg one down, but not the other two outdated PRs.
Perhaps they struck a revised deal after my last correspondence with Ms. Clifford.
