First of all, please note that I really speak for myself and it's implied in the article I speak for OmniPay too. I can't hide my outrage well sometimes. :(
Um, no, it's explicitly stated in the article that you speak for OmniPay. Jim, you're a good guy, but when you give an on the record interview to a reporter and he asks you what title to use and you say (after some more colorful suggestions) "vice president," it's reasonable to conclude you're speaking for the company.
An officer of the company not speaking for it? It would be like Bill Gates not speaking for Microsoft.
Ok, you can say that, but I said I really wanted you to speak to the president. I'm probably not the best source about e-gold compared to the guy who invented it, after all, and he's really most concerned about a terribly-misleading headline (which finally was changed as the lawyer began to send nastygrams) and not really what I say, especially about this case, since it's about another company, but I can't hide that I think that this is outrageous. You could have had our Bill Gates and got me (yech!) but the good news is that this likely isn't the end of the Gold-Age story, so you'll probably have another chance to talk to him if you keep covering it, but the story there isn't even e-gold, it's credit card fraud committed (IMO -- personal opinion) by someone besides Parker Bradley.
