In yet another vague claim, AdViewGlobal (AVG) said a problem that resulted in the suspension of its bank account is being “rectified.” AVG did not describe how the problem was being solved. Nor did it provide a date by which it expected the problem to be solved. Instead, under a three-exclamation point headline of, “AVGA […]

UPDATED 11:41 A.M. EDT (March 12, U.S.A.)

In a court filing today, Bowdoin, the president of ASD, made a stunning acknowledgment that the company was operating illegally. Bowdoin’s acknowledgment came in the purported form of a motion to dismiss the forfeiture […]
