Thanks for the reminder, guys...

ECN has had folks from these firms post, as well as in the chats. Oddly enough, the idea that the franchise was being set up for aquisition, etc., was denied in the strongest of terms- yet here we see it played out, just as the most cynical had feared!

I guess the lesson to be learned is that many of these great "business plans" are thinly disguised sharks, looking for minnows to devour.
