I know this one is rather abstract, and requires you to know something about Infinium Labs and the Phantom game console. But, with the way things have gone for that company, from their battles with [H]ardOCP to the most recent SEC filings against them for improper reporting of their payroll and payroll taxes.

I know I've been hard on Infinium Labs. But, I honestly believe Tim Roberts (company founder) is a scam artist and the fact that the Phantom may, at some point, see the light of day (2% chance) was a complete accident. And, when he stepped down as CEO, he left poor Kevin Bacchus to pick up the pieces while trying desperately to sweep the dirty little unscrupulous manueverings under the proverbial rug.
Hell, who knows, maybe Time Roberts is STILL doing everything he can to bring Infinium Labs crashing down. And if Roberts isn't intentionally trying to cripple the Phantom... hiring Jack Thompson to do public relations for the system is exactly the kind of thing he might see as a "good idea".
I bet those two could be best of friends.
