Today I'm... amped up!

THE WULGE does realize that the government knows how to get around FOIA requests, right?

Like, data about privately-held companies is typically unavailable for FOIA requests because in order to get that data, one of two things happen:

1) In providing the data, the government guarantees to make it unavailable for FOIA requests because this would be a really easy way to get a competitor's financials.
2) The company ignores it, is charged some minor fee that most write off as the cost of doing business, and the world keeps spinning.

I used to intern at Commerce, so I'm somewhat familiar with guarantees like #1.

This is not even touching the fact that I'm willing to bet the company is headquartered in a country with extremely lax corporate reporting laws, which would therefore make the data non-existent.

EDIT: Blerp. I guess it's in relation to the lawsuit? But why the hell would any government agency make available data related to an ongoing investigation?

For a group of people seemingly so convinced of the superiority of their game of jpegs and dreams, the Star Citizen faithful sure do spend a lot of time worrying about what the good Dr Smart is doing. One might see that as a sign of a lack of confidence in their Lord and Saviour Christ Robbers.

Has your cat not learnt the trick of placing themselves between you and the food so that you are shocked by the sudden appearance of their crusty buttonhole in your face giving them an opportunity to steal something.

Which is pretty much my point exactly. The WULGE is pointing to his letter like a "he he he Mr. Smart is Mr. Wrong" sort of moment, but like I said - FOIA exemptions are easy to come by in government, and it's no surprise that his request turned up nothing on an investigation because that's the way it's supposed to work.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

My cat loves to wait until I put mustard on something and sit down to eat, then she suddenly walks across my knees and puts her tail into the mustard. Then I have to hunt her across my apartment to clean her tail before she can smear mustard over something important.

Slowly I'm starting to think she does this on purpose, the little rascal. :3:

I doubt FTC would go after CIG since they're still showing "progress" every now and then, and also issuing refunds now, but yeah, if they were investigating, lmbo if you think they'd actually release any data.
