Infinium: Here, Have A Keyboard! See? It's Real! It's A Keyboard!
from the nice-try dept
Last month, we chronicled the latest on Infinium Labs and their missing Phantom gaming console. For years, the company promised a miraculous gaming console, but was dogged by rumors that the whole thing was a stock scam -- which they enhanced by suing those who accused them just as they were building back some credibility. However, as they win vaporware award after vaporware award and have yet to show anything of substance, many people have counted them out. Last month their "credibility" walked out the door -- when the big name CEO they had brought in left. However, the company keeps going, and swears that (no, really, we swear!) they're going to release a product next year. However, it won't actually be the Phantom gaming console. Nope. It's a gaming keyboard -- and it won't be available until at least the second quarter meaning (hey, look at that!) it's vaporware.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

SEC?
Are they investigating? If so, why isn't that getting big press?
If they aren't investigating: what does that say about the level of confidence investors can have in the markets today?
How much does it cost to get the SEC off your back, I wonder?

INFINIUM SARASOTA
Why does it seem the whole corporate infrastructure is based Lies?
I knew Infinium was a scan for a long time..shame on them for stealing other people hard earned money ..... time for class action .. sadly, in fl even if you win..you cannot go after personal property...so bankrupting the company and living in a mansion on the beach is perfectly acceptable results of corporate fraud.
I'm sick of people and companies like this....It's time to support the local guys shops ...
No more lying corporate conglomerates who have no interest in employee welfare.
