No problem, Jim. I did "leave it there" in the sense that I didn't draw from it or add to it, but I did keep track. I didn't get concerned until it unexpectedly disappeared off the radar (after promising many great things in the offing and strongly urging further investment), and then I started checking. When even the broker I occasionally worked with couldn't get a straight answer out of them, I started suspecting that there was dirty work afoot.

Damned irksome to me. But I wonder how many people got really skunked. . . ?
