Red Flags at Emcore
Well, Watson, we seem to have fallen upon evil days.
What one man can invent, another can discover.
I am pleased to think that I shall be able to free society from any further effects of his presence, though I fear that it is at a cost which will give pain to my friends, and especially, my dear Watson to you.
There, Watson, this infernal case had haunted me for ten days. I hereby banish it completely
from my presence.

Your morals don't improve, Watson. You have added fibbing to your other vices.

When a man embarks upon a crime, he is morally guilty of any other crime which may spring from it
I will represent the official police until their arrival.
I am not the law, but I represent justice so far as my feeble powers go.
other vices.
Once or twice in my career, I feel that I have done more real harm by my discovery of the criminal than ever he had done by his crime. I have learned caution, and I had rather play tricks with the law of England than with my own conscience.
It is not for me, my dear Watson, to stand in the way of the official police force. I leave them all the evidence which I found.
I am getting into your involved habit, Watson, of telling a story backward.

You may not have been asked for money yourself, but what about those
enterprises from Korea, Spain and India, to mention a few, who did
fork out. Do you you think that their licences came free? Where do
you think Greg got his money from?
Also spare a thought for those who lost their jobs in a car making
factory. Just for a bit of cheap publicity Greg W went on television
and branded them around as if they would be offered a job.
This is the type of slapstick hype that needs to be condemned.
As regards Emcore, they will have to face a SOX audit. Beleive me, if
they have been playing Mickey Mouse with shareholders; you will see
more than pigs flying in Woomera.

I still hope it will be a success, and I am sure Greg W believes the
same. Time will tell, but I would suggest the naysayers go off and
get a life. You might as well start attacking all the other
developing technologies as well as that can be part of your bag of
tricks.

> So, now I see it all so clearly. Greg Has been slaving away for
two or three years, knowing this thing would not work, and being
privy the the "fact" that Emcore may go belly up or something. He has
built all these prototypes and preproduction items, hired a factory
and staff, put his reputation on the line, just so he could rip us
all off......... .. God, what a fool I have been. I have gotta ask
why though, surely he could have gone and made lots of money some
other way. Is it maybe possible that he truley believes in the
Suncube concept, and we may yet see it in full production. Why would
anyone put so much time into something which he knew would not work.
Well chances are he wouldn't. I certainly would not waste that many
years on an item I knew would not work. Greg is no idiot and I am
sure he is a pretty competent engineer. So he was to know emcore may
suffer from USA business ethics?
>
> Maybe Greg is overly optomistic. Things like this are not
developed generally in two or three years, maybe ten years is more
viable, though maybe we dont have ten years. Maybe he should just
give up and go and live on a nice island somewhere, and leave the
world to its own devices. Maybe he should not even try because there
is an off chance it wont work. Maybe Henry Ford, the Wright brothers,
Michaelangelo, Marconi, etc should not have tried because at first
they did not succeed with their ideas. If it aint right just give up
should be our motto, right.

Why don't YOU call the company in India.
Ask them when you can buy a suncube.
Ask them about the GGE non-disclosure agreement that they signed.
Ask them about the licence fees
No comment? Refer NDA?

The reason that he has got away with this scam for so long is that publications accept his PR without any checks at all.
Greg has successfully created a house of cards because by publishing the BIG LIE often enough it becomes an accepted fact.
I've been trying to expose this scam for more than a year but nobody would believe me because Greg is such a "respectable"... businessman.
As soon as Seeking Alpha published the story people finally started to believe it.
What does that tell us?
All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmmmm
Thank you Paul Simon

He is nothing more than a sleazy con man.
I've been on his case for more than a year
(Keef, dogshitontoast, rover etc.)
I can't believe it has taken so long for the world to wake up.
Here is one of Greg's delightful replies
Tell you what Doggie Boy, got the balls to meet me face to face at Elder
Park? I'll do a video and will put it on YouTube. Or do you just make cheap
snipes from behind an alias and your mothers skirt?
Little Doggie Boy want to come and play with the big dogs who can and will
eat him alive? Or maybe play it safe and go back to your kennel and lick
yourself some more as you enjoy your favourite food?
Your call Doggie Boy.
All the best,
