New management - seemingly a plus. At least they seem to be legitimate businessman. Time will tell.
Leinwand - still in the picture. As long as he is in ANYWAY connected to this thing...I won't consider it anything but a share printing scam.
Kroplin - my stance remians the same. He has NEVER come up with a design that anyone wanted. Not in some 15-20 years of trying. Has he finished SOME things? Yes. But no one apparently saw the value in them. Has he been involved in some pretty dubious projects that have missing funds and never got finished? YES.
I believe that no one saw the value of the product demonstration they concluded in Germany, else we would have heard of it. I find it laughable that anyone might think there is some "black op" going on and that's why we haven't heard anything about it.
Conclusion: Say all you want about "those boys" getting a "handle" on things. They could be very good people and very good managers for all I know. The product they are trying to bring to completion is one that I believe will be finished and then put away in a barn somewhere because no one will want to produce it.
It is my opinion that the hanger is a product for sale by the company and being used for the airship, to gain exposure for this product. The question being, who benifits financially from the sales of thESE storage units? I am guessing only Tao and Dr.K. So this is a huge oppourtunity for Tao and Dr. K to market their product here in the U.S.A.
