  • Red Flags at Emcore [View article]
    Dear me! What a chorus of groans, cries and bleatings! What a rag-bag of singular happenings! . . . Bleat, Watson, unmitigated bleat!

    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.

    Correction!

    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.

    Fact are facts, Watson, and after all you are only a general practitioner with very little experience and mediocre qualifications.

    Re: Red Flags at Emcore

    Greg M

    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.

    regards,

    Cello

    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.

    Hi User
    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?

    User165567--- you are quoting from one of Greg's own press releases.
    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

    Nice to see Greg Watson get the publicity he deserves.
    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,
    Green and Gold Energy Pty., Ltd
