Goldfinger,

If you are going to keep mentioning Bernie Madoff as an example of high American standards, you should also mention that he got turned in by his sons. Allegedly, he was turned in because he was no longer pay his redemptions and knew he had to explain why there was no money. The American Justice system only came in hard after he confessed. Hardly a stellar example. Find a better example to use next time.

For the record, even though I am of Russian descent, I make it a practice to avoid Russian companies, as I find their ethics level to be even lower than the Americans. I try to meet the execs of companies I am interested in to guage how they are as individuals.

As an aside, WTG was originally listed as being an exhibitor at the Vancouver Resource Conference. When I arrived, I looked for them only to find they were no longer listed. I guess they changed their minds about promoting their company. I sold my CMM shares when I found out more about WTG, but I would have been curious to hear what they had to say about themselves.
