The biggest sad thing in this is that those who manage a trusted venture gets tossed in with the rest, but at this point we cannot differentiated in a way that MA can guarantee. |
I dont think that there was much discussion at all. I think that one or more of the high dollar investors sent you an angry email stating that they were upset about the fact that we were bright enough to realize that we did not need to spend what they did to do the same thing, and better. I am gonna take another shot in the dark, and guess that either way you landed on this issue was a losing situation for you. Let us do what we have been doing (with no scam attempts, I may add, your little "official statement" not withstanding) and alienate the big money that just bought overvalued businesses, or side with them and alienate the majority of the population by stomping out small business like you think your wal-mart or something. After choosing the latter, while I understand that there is at least a profit to be made from the trades done with the banks, you have made it quite clear that you do
not support small business endeavors in
EU.
As far as your little statement about tossing us in with "the rest" goes, I guess that clarifies
MA's position better than I ever could. There are the big money investors, and "the rest". Frankly, after this stunt, I am quite happy to be part of "the rest". I at least have some morals and a code of ethical standards.
