I agree that it's most likely not Assurance. The CEO may have gotten 'wind' of something cooking at Guard Dog though and saw an opportunity to make money. That's good. Personally, I believe the candidate most likely is another ID theft protection company. My reasoning is this area has proliferated with new companies in the last few years but not all can or will survive. Only the strongest will, and by merging 2 together they become one of the strongest ones out there. Having audited fins makes me think it could be a private company looking to go public, but then I'm not sure if they would have to have audited fins even if the other company was already a public one.
