Shocked I tell you! They must have gone underground because big oil put a hit out on them (probably with <a href="http://dansdata.blogsome.com/2008/02/04/i-bet-my-aunt-called-in-the-hit/" rel="nofollow">this guy</a>), right ?!? I am shocked. Shocked I tell you! They must have gone underground because big oil put a hit out on them (probably with this guy), right ?!?

We tried hard to get the Firepower business in order, however he just continually stuffed us around. In the end, we figured if he was going to stuff his advisers around this much, something was amiss. He was always so non-committal. Over the past few years I have written off debts all over Perth owing by Tim and Firepower. I have come to understand that if they owe the debt, it likely will not be paid. It is amazing the debts this company has quickly racked up. I wish I could tell you the places they have been owing money to, but confidentiality says I can not.

Can this be seen as misappropriation of funds? Shouldn't somebody get sued for screwing over the taxpayers? Why do they get money from the federal government??!!

Thus the population of fools experiences a net positive growth. And as such people are easily swayed into having more offspring by the promise of a wad of cash (that can be easily converted into a new plasma TV or that really cool VP commodore down the street), then they tend to breed faster than those with sense. The politicians love it of course - in fact, they're running much the same game as the firepower people, when you think about it - fooling people into investing in you for imaginary gains... :-) chiefnewo - the real problem isn't that the ones "born every minute" hang around afterwards - it's that they breed afterwards...

What a company. I say buy shares now while investor confidence is low! It can only go up from here! Since they're not on any stock exchange, anyone got the number of a Kings player? Ah, Firepower.

What a company.

Since they're not on any stock exchange, anyone got the number of a Kings player?

Then you start thinking "hey, just how many dumb people who fall for this there are?" Then your respect for most of humanity starts going negative. Then you start wondering why the ones taking money out of dumb people are others and not you. Luckily, the fear of being caught and thrown in the slammer (along with a few scraps of what morals I have) prevent me from jumping on the scam-the-idiot bandwagon, but I can't help but feel a certain degree of envy for those who do.

Unfortunately, the demise of the company will most likely not serve as a deterrent to the myriad other people who are going to pull the same stunts and run away with similar amounts of money from gullible people. Now that we're done with this particular saga, when do we get to see more gadget reviews? Good riddance.
