Yeah, I'll get with you soon on the HBGary business. Will see what else we've got.

Hey, Barrett. So, Owen emailed me and I sent him a couple of questions. We'll see if he responds.

Karen was really pissed yesterday when I called again about the email. She basically hung up on me. But what a disaster for HBGary. They'll never get another client.

So, BusinessWeek (it's part of the bloomberg empire) is interested in just that part of the story...how a security company that was trying to make a little bank off of Anonymous basically got smacked.

We already published a story with the Aaron-Greg-Karen email about making him look like a public hero on 60 Minutes. Lol.

I'm going to jump on and see what else is in the emails, but stuff may come your way that is really interesting. If so, would you mind giving me a heads up? Company secrets...stuff on clients...whatever it is.

Cheers,
