| ....And as anyone with any sense whatsoever suspected, MS HAS been and continues to fund SCO through an intermediary company. The article currently up at Groklaw (http://radio.weblogs.com/0120124/). For those with their heads still rammed up their asses, basically SCO's biggest investor is "Integral", who while purporting to be a "venture capital company" appear to exist for the sole purpose of articifially inflating stock prices at various companies, including <drum roll> Microsoft, and Drugstore.com (who just appointed Bill Gate's wife as a director, funnily enough). This goes a long way to explaining the until now bewildering situation where SCO's stock price has continues to rise despite its farcical attempts to display evidence of IP theft, and the overwhelming evidence of SCO's IP thefts and impending court case with IBM. The other major factor has been one of SCO's largest investors (again, through an intermediary); Jonathan Cohen, giving investment advise to any media outlet who'll take him, and promoting SCO stock at any opportunity (see http://www.threenorth.com/sco/cohen.html for the grubby details). I'm really glad this information is leaking out. Microsoft again abusing its monopoly (although I'm sure the current US administration will once again ignore this, once MS hand over a few more "funds"), and the obvious stock price manipulation. I would so love to see McBride and co facing serious criminal charges at least, and the husk of their backward, overhyped company blow away in the wind. |
