So if I'm a CEO and I give a sales projection of $525, what do you think is going to happen. Tell me how many companies meet sales projections. That's why they are called projections. At the time of that two year old email he may have had a reason to release those projections. Crap happens in the business world.
I too can pull up sales projections of thousands of companies, especially penny stock companies, and rest assured these projections are not even close to what was actually earned, worse yet they are at the dreaded no bid.
So I'm not seeing the point of your post. It's business and its a cruel world out there. He's doing the best he can. He's hiring vets and my son is in the armed forces, for that I applaud him.
