[News] Serious allegations about H&P | ANN.lu |

Amigo follows up on serious allegations about H&P and says: "I also just asked Unisys as it says here, and am waiting for a reply. If true, H&P could probably be forced to close."
[ If H&P indeed didn't pay royalties for Unisys' GIF algorithm, they might not be forced to close per se, but if this is indeed true, and Unisys decides to sue, they might have to pay some serious fines. Also note that while this is not in unmoderated, it's highly speculative, unconfirmed and generally should be taken with the usual grain of salt - CK ]

Serious allegations about H&P : Comment 130 of 164 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ben Hermans/Hyperion on 11-Nov-2001 11:10 GMT | In reply to Comment 126 (Anonymous): >You did it again! Wild accusations without proof to malign your competitors...
Wild accusations? Give me a break. Call the Phase 5 receiver if you want.
And what competitors? We are a software company that produces no hardware.
>From your comments in the forums you appear to be a shady character, Mr Hermans,
>and I understand the people who do not want to do business with you anymore.
At least I have the guts to attach my name to my posts unlike you, mister coward.
>>No Pegasos for instance.
>>bPlan is the successor entity of Phase 5
>Untrue.
Not legally, no. But according to David Scheibler standard, most certainly.
>and at least 2 or 3 former Phase 5 employees/partners are partners of bPlan.
>Now do I need to remind you of the blatantly criminal deceit Phase 5 engaged
>in by solliciting pre-paid pre-orders for the Cyberstorm NG which were >supposedly put in an escrow account but turned out to be gone when the receiver >stepped in?
>It was not a criminal deceit since the people who preordered were informed about
>the impossibility of putting the money in an escrow account, because there were >so many pre-ordering via credit-card. Afaik they have had the possibility to >draw back their payment or accept the changed conditions.
Yes, as far as you know.
Well, you know wrong.
>Do you have any proof Wolf Dietrich took the money and ran for a comfortable >life on the bahamas, or is it maybe he was liable with his private capital and >property and lives now poverty striken in exile?
I don't care, bottom line is: he and the Phase 5 management engaged in criminal deceit to sollicit pre-orders.
What happened to the money afterwards is irrelevant and makes absolutely no difference to the users who got screwed. |
