There is nothing brief about it. Try ten years of NSS hype and 5 or 6 failed merger attempts along the way. Most of the money along the way has gone to generous salaries for jagh executives and profits from PIPE financing for YA Global (previously Cornell Capital). Oh, and a Canadian named Mark Valentine that went to jail for a related stock scam and a former CEO Gary Valenetti that secretly sold restricted shares and was nailed by the SEC for it. That was back in the day when they gave a dam about illegal stock trading activities or scams by executives or brokers.

Oh, and as far as I know, they have never made a profit on their business operations.
