Earlier this year Chris told us in the boardroom when the question of our servers came up that he bought 2 refridgerator sized units one placed on the east coast and one on the west, for redundancy and double the security.
We checked.
In actual fact SOS runs on rented server space with a company called Rackspace. That took 2 minutes to discover.
When we were about to try and buy SOS we checked with Rackspace to see who they were working for.
Some company called Grindstone Capital Corp was the answer we got. We spent some effort pursuing that but took a pass because time was of the essence and we wanted to get on with trying to buy out Chris.
We still think he cant deliver SOS.

Not trying to belittle the effort, or its value.
Trying to understand the goal. Plus it's a good study in negotiation in online media. Key point: know who's behind the guy who's behind the curtain.
