Ian-

Just wanted to let you know that we verified that Ntrepid is wholly-owned by Cubic, as shown in these tax filings: http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/EFX_dll/EDGARpro.dll?FetchFilingHtmlSection1?SectionID=7690853-67284-375768&SessionID=QuZFHe-yRP0T6P7. Also, regarding Romas/COIN, the documents I sent you a few months back that had been given to me by another team were partly incorrect but I've since done some additional digging and provided what I've been able to verify about the program; here's a summary with link to the full report: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/jun/22/hacking-anonymous. Additionally, Bloomberg/Business Week figured out a great deal about why Endgame Systems, which you may recall as having been linked to a number of these firms we've been looking at, was so intent on avoiding scrutiny: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/cyber-weapons-the-new-arms-race-07212011.html

Let me know if you have any questions regarding any of this.
