Actually, that Coalition Technologies company was interesting. Maybe the summation line was a bit over-the top.

Yeah, the Web has allowed shops that used to be no more than kiosks in the corridors of a dying mall, to front like they are megacorps.

Nothing new (as was pointed out), but it’s a lot easier to do, these days, than it used to be.

This guy probably could have pulled it off, if he had kept his scope small.

That’s what tends to kill a lot of cons; they get too big, where they allow themselves to be put into a “put up or shut up” situation.

Sort of reminds me of the movie The Producers.

I often read about successful companies that started off as spit-and-baling-wire façades.
