RE:WRONG Stockhouse infoIt's not Stockhouse. It's not up to Stockhouse to search for and apply company details, and VPT was in trouble so updates were the least of their worries awhile back. G. Adams was a one man band and feverishly working to raise money in a market sector where everyone was looking the other way. It came down to him using his own money to meet payroll for a bunch of deadbeats and to keep the doors open. Finally he found Skidmore's to invest and gave GA some breathing room to look at company business. There was a tech guy named Bodtke who had a title of Vice Pres or something or another and apparently realized he was about to be exposed as a phony so he initiated a mutiny involving shareholders who were disgruntled with share prices and financings at the time. Tech guy fuelled that fire and was in the process of the mutiny to remove GA at the AGM so that he could wear the CEO hat and scalp cash for his sorry self at shareholders expense. Unsuccessful.
GA cleaned house, closed the Seattle office of deadwood, trimmed office area and set up house in Canada alone, hired the tech team who did more progressive work for VPT than tech guy did in a couple years and ultimately created the whole heart system that is in the news today. George Adams focused on getting the technology ready for market so websites and other pieces of "fluff" had no meaning to him. Adams set up the arrangement in China and that alone was a struggle as you can imagine. As it turns out, China has shrewd, Chinese business people there, :) if that wasn't challenging enough, progress was hindered by exploits of the tech guy (according to "word on the street") GA overcame that and did the deal on his terms.
George Adams focuses on the foundation and to hell with the spires and other forms of bling. He is recognized for his keen business sense and again, I admire him and salute him for his stamina and perseverance in reaching out to get the technology where it needs to be and always with the shareholders in mind. Without him, I wouldn't be writing this and these dysfunctional bashers and pumpers would be someplace else.
Footnote: Dysfunctional people, bashers and pumpers, in a frenzy bashing on one another and a pumper complaining that the pumpers are all over their twisted show, pumpers and bashers bashing and pumping on one another, suspicious of one another and superstitious, affected by some leaf syndrome and on and on and......, kinda twisted, isn't it?? My level of respect for them is just slightly above that of a pedophile. Has this become a site for an audition for a Jerry Springers episode or two??
Good luck to all the steady old VPT position holders. We will soon have our day in the sunshine.
