More Infinium Labs Hilarity

[A Black Falcon]

Article last September that attacks Infinium.

Infinium's prompt response: A legal letter sent yesterday telling them to take the story down or else.

Both articles are great reads... the first has stuff we knew (their office is a PO box in a strip mall, the CEO has led several failed tech firms in the late '90s, etc), but the second one is about this legal action... hilarious...
Here's a quote.

Since I certainly wouldn't want to get a letter like that, let's state for the record that I think Infinium Labs is great, and that when its CEO, Tim Roberts, told me in person he had $25 million in venture capital behind him, and it later turned out he didn't, I must have misunderstood him.

I would also like to state for the record that at a later date, when Mr. Roberts and one of his associates told me -- again in person -- that they had signed up 12 game publishers for their Phantom.net service, and gradually backed down under further questioning until they only claimed a deal with one, I must have had wax in my ears or something. Mr. Roberts is a fine gentleman who owns a lovely home in the exclusive community of Longboat Key that is currently valued at $1,250,100 by the Sarasota County Property Appraiser. When a reporter hears a statement from a person of this caliber, and that person later corrects the reporter, it is obvious that the reporter is in error.
