Yes its compeltely illegal!! Management are hoodwinking us, just so they can fill their boots with cheap options. When the truth finally comes out, they'll go running back to their previous companies and we'll all be left pennyless and licking our wounds (tongue firmly in cheek)
If you can't see that management are doing their best to provide value, then im afraid you should have sold long ago. They have been providing proof points. They also addressed the situation with customers at the THM. AT the moment they don't want to reveal who they are, for competitive reasons.
The fact of the matter is, this company is dealing with what could be a revolution in it's industry. As a consequence, they have to tread carefully to avoid the obvious problems, that arise if you start ruffling too many feathers. I'm happy to see them stay under the radar, until it's time to reveal the golden egg. If that means I have to wait for another 6months or more, then so be it, I have the stomach for it.
