What. The. Hell. Who wrote this? Mr. Infinium? 70.64.104.35 23:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Sounds great, especially when they have to sell keyboard/mouse combo to raise funds so that they might actually get to release a real console.

[edit] Lawsuits

I'm trying to find the article reference for all the judgments against them from CDW and the like...anyone who finds it before me post it, please. Very relevant. Daemon8666 17:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Found the link; http://www.curbwatcher.com/dasblogce/ If anyone can work this into the article please do; I won't be able to for a while yet.Daemon8666 17:13, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Buyouts

Someone recently pointed out that it would take just over $11,000 to buy-out the company. HAHAHAHAHA. --Liface 18:43, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fines aren't enough.

Yeah, it's comical, but it's also tragic. Robert's, the first CEO, has been behind a number of shady operations that have lost a combined total of over 200 million dollars. That’s a lot of economic damage; a lot of people’s lost savings.

I just hope the SEC gets to take away this parasites ill-gotten fortune, and criminal charges follow. The price of his being on the loose is just too high.

[edit] Call that a reference?!

Regarding the [Phantom_Entertainment#Internet_Spamming_Allegations|Internet_Spamming_Allegations] section; I notice it gives [this] as a reference. Basically, it's a search on the "news.admin.net-abuse.sightings" group for the expression "infinium labs". In other words, "here's a canned search for stuff some arbitrary people reported, there might be something plausible here".

Does anyone think that this is a proper reference? I don't.

I'm not opposed to Google groups/Usenet postings being cited as references; the same criteria of reliability and notability of the person applies, though. Even a search can serve as evidence; but only if its purpose is made very clear. Fourohfour 00:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What happened to the Infinium Labs entry

Who deleted the original article? There was some info in there that just got trashed. Now this crap page just lists lawsuits instead of a history. What happened?
