(((The stock has rapidly lost half its value. Verichip announces move to purchase its own stock. Will they actually do this, I wonder – or is it merely a headfake?
They've also announced their intention to refute the cancer allegations, without managing to do any of that, as yet.)))
(((Since the stock is so cheap now, if I were Wal-Mart, I'd simply buy the whole company and shut it down. I'm sure that Verichip has done well over thirty million dollars' worth of damage to Wal-Mart's imperial RFID schemes. Just imagine next time the Wal-Martians try to strong-arm a supplier – "What? RFID? 'Cancer chips' in my products? No way!")))
(((And just suppose it turns out that glass fragments embedded in one's flesh actually do cause tumors – you know, one time in ten million.
Imagine the PR circus as psychotically over-protective pet owners and grieving, guilty grandkids haul Fluffy and Fido and dotty old Grandma Owens down to the clinic for the lacerating and quite dangerous process of surgically removing those chips. Wouldn't it be a lot more convenient for the industry in toto if Verichip had vanished years earlier?)))
