Eject, Buckaroo! Eject!

I had almost believed that he was going to turn it around. I even posted an entry to that effect. I was optimistic and, dare I say, hopeful. Yea, though I walked in the valley of the shadow of scam artistry, I nearly believed it would be true.

Now, after auditing the books and digging around like a good CEO should, so he'd know what was going on with his company, Bachus has decided to protect his credibility and cut his losses as soon as possible. He's pursuing "other opportunities." That's corporate talk for "protecting himself" if he left, and "got canned" if it was involuntary on his part. Since he left, I'm pretty sure he decided that Infinium is a con game that got carried away with itself.

So is the Phantom vaporware again? Or should that be "is it still vaporware?" Or will the many people that Tim Roberts has dragged into his little "venture" tell him to pack sand, so that they can actually do something with the idea? If they do, will he sue them for his intellectual property, such that it is? Will the gaming community ever see the Phantom and its system?

These questions and more will be answered on our next stomach-churning episode of "The Phantom Saga." (Or, "From Here To Infinium." Take your pick.)
