My SCO Ravings
- John Wall is SCO's second biggest stockholder.
- Soon after Darl McBride become CEO, a Redmond tech entrepeneur invests in SCO.
- SCO is closely watching the Yahoo SCOX message board.
- Within minutes of the first threenorth.com link on Yahoo, a Caldera IP hits threenorth.com
- Who is Integral Capital Partners?
- In August 2003, just less than 2 months from a PIPE deal that sent SCOX to its all-time high, Integral Capital Partners files a 13G indicating a 5% investment in SCOX.
- Jonathan Cohen and SCO
- In late August 2003, SCO's evidence is revealed to be very weak after an ill-planned attempt to obfuscate it during SCO's tech conference ends up revealing the "evidence." Many expected the shareprice of SCOX to plummet as news got out, but instead it rose. Did a big investor have something to do with that?
- Morgan Keegan/Boies/Anderer Timeline
- Examine SEC filings and letters from investment bankers/law firms from before the IBM lawsuit to get an indication of SCO's early plans.
- Jonathan Cohen again: JHC Analyst says BUY; JHC SELLs
- After SCO's PIPE deal pushed the price up, the shareprice of SCOX began to fall. During that period, a JHC analyst is publically suggesting investment in SCOX while at the same time, JHC is selling their deflating SCOX shares.
- John Wall Sells Out -- Sort of
- The naive author of threenorth.com has never encountered the concept of a reverse merger and thinks there is something fishy in the announcement of one.
- Vista Reverse Merger DOES NOT Benefit SCO
- As the threenorth.com author came to understand a reverse merger, he originally thought that the reported ownership by SCO in Vista.com would mean a windfall for SCO, but that turns out not to be the case as further investigation reveals that SCO no longer has any ownership in Vista.com.
- April 15th and 19th 2005 Vista.com SEC REGDEX filings
- Vista REGDEX reveals ownership details.
- July 1st and 18th 2005 Vista.com SEC REGDEX filings
- Vista REGDEX reveals ownership information
- Hyperlinked index of exhibits to 28 July 2005 SCO S-1
-
- Vista.com Timeline Aug 2002 to August 2005
- Explains a bit about the REGDEX filings that Vista has made. TRIVIA: This page is one of the number one hits for Google searches on explanations of what a REGDEX is. I hope that this page is helpful to all of those hitting because of those searches, even though that is not exactly its intent.
- Vista.com 16 December 2002 REGDEX
- 2002 Vista REGDEX filing from when they were Community IQ
- Vista.com 16 October 2003 REGDEX
- 2003 Vista REGDEX from when they were called Community IQ. This REGDEX is filed the same day SCO's PIPE deal is announced.
- Vista.com 23 August 2005 REGDEX
- Yet Another Vista REGDEX
- Vista has Gone Public
- Vista's reverse merger with the publically traded Source Energy is now complete
- SCO Rejects a Shareholder Proposal
- A pre-existing SCO investor is disgusted with SCO's Linux landgrab and thinks it is bad for shareholders. He unsuccessfully tries to get a shareholder proposal going which will put SCO's scheme to a vote. TRIVIA: This is one of the top Google hits on shareholder proposal searches. Check out the section on SEC Rules for Shareholder Proposals if that is how you ended up here--and good luck
- SCO Creditor Notice
- I buy one share of SCOX for a wall ornament. That means that once SCO declares bankruptcy, I get a creditor notice. The day I get it, the postage to send it to me costs more than my SCOX share is worth. The day it was sent, the postage cost more than double the value of my share.
Other Good Resources
Groklaw is the place to go for discussion of legal issues related to SCO
SCO News Roundup is a great place to find a wealth of news stories and obscura regarding SCO and related parties.
TuxRocks has perhaps the most comprehensive list of filings related the various cases surrounding SCO
SCOfacts by Al Petrofsky also has extensive case filings and frequently has new material up before any other location
Yahoo SCOX Financial Board was one of the better places to look for issues related to the finance side of things--though you can often find legal discussion there as well.
InvestorVillage.com's SCOX Board is another place to look, as many of the Yahoo posters moved their after a Yahoo site redesign.
IP-WARS.NET is a new site that has sprung from some of the Yahoo SCOX regulars. It is an attempt to create a site that will look at many issues that have been covered on Yahoo SCOX as well as other things related to the coming IP wars. Part of the goal was to provide threaded discussion with a better rating system than Groklaw or Yahoo SCOX and to license all comments under the CCL and allow spidering to help the memes spread faster.
