Yahoo! SCOX Review

Message ID: 144210 Posted By: walterbyrd Posted On: 2004-06-11 15:31:00 Subject: the scox-scam was a great sucess Recs: 4 As the scam is winding down, the crunchies are all feeling vindicated. But, in the final analysis, msft is laughing up it's sleeve. Scox was as good as dead 18 months ago. It was just a matter of: did scox want to die with dignity, or did scox want to live another two years and cash in? We all know scox's decision. Msft has done what msft set out to do. For a meager $50M "chicken-feed" investment, msft pounded FOSS. Some linux companies may be doing well, but they would all be doing much better if were not for msft's remarkably efficient fud campaign. $50M is nothing to msft, msft spends that much on one of those idiotic butterfly msn commercials. Didio, and others, are still carrying on about the terrible legal risks of using FOSs. The scox scam was a great success for canopy/scox Mormon Mafia as well. Where else can an...

The terms of the investment deal were attractive, he said, with BayStar purchasing $20 million worth of preferred shares that paid an ongoing dividend. The firm mitigates its risk by shorting the common stock of the company it is investing in." http://tinyurl.com/3a97u Yep, told ya so, but some said oh no - couldn't be. Had to be those 'bashers" . Ledite, BIFF, etc. all were nothiing more than BS sock-puppets creating friction to drive the pump & dump scheme in some dumb investors minds. Horsesh*t, they were the short interest. It has always and always will be a pump and dump. Once a scam, always a scam. Have a nice day all, and may Justice be served. freecode ------------------------------------------------------------ The text...

Or, do they honestly have reason to be very satisfied? Msft was looking to spend $100M on this little scam. Msft hasn't even given scox $30M. Is the other $70M finding it's way to rbc, baystar, royce, gaurdian? Will we ever know for sure? I have no doubt that msft is paying a lot of shills to bash linux: enderle, greenberg, and other law firms who write those bogus articles. Not to mention all the bogus TOC "independant" studies. And stuff like AdTI. This seems to be a new kind of fud, going thought 3rd parties, and msft is playing it up. IBM's method of fud was bad enough, but ibm didn't do this - as far as I know. I think ibm would just have their reps makes potential buyers feel insecure about buying anything other than ibm. I don't think ibm paid ...

No retail investor could (or should, if they are reasonable) believe the lawsuit bullsh*t. The real thing is that this was always about a P&D scheme and always will be. That they get away with it seems to border on criminal negligence in the enforcement divisions, but then so does CA, Enron, Tyco, Worldcom/MCI, and many, many more that are the real reason that jobs are really down (no matter how much horse-puckey they place in the media). You know, If I had stolen billions, I doubt I could arrange sweetheart deals for my family so my kids would have a parent around (Enron), and I doubt I would still be out on the streets a free man. Justice looks less and less likely to be an u...

Scox-scum is laughing all the way the way to the bank. All they had to do was hurt linux. Scox hit $0.60 a share when mcbride over, look at 'em now up 8X over in 18 months. Call scox stupid all you want, they're laughing all the way to the bank while we're posting on yahoo. ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Board post has been licensed for copying and distribution by the Yahoo Message Board user "walterbyrd" under the following license: License:  CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike v2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------
