Bob, once again I have to beg you to make SOME attempt to check your facts
before making statements here which are simply not true and can be
damaging, bearing in mind your respected status in the cryonics community. 

Paul Wakfer notified CryoCare and ACS early this year that he wanted to
quit as CEO of CryoSpan. I can forward to you his email on this subject,
if you wish; or I can post it here, since Paul has said many times that he
has no objection to anything he writes being quoted publicly. 

He was not "ousted." He decided to make an exit, which came as a total
surprise to me and, I think, everyone else. After some to-and-fro, Paul
presented a demand for compensation, in exchange for which he would
relinquish his controlling interest in the company. The compensation he
wanted was $20,000 plus several hundred shares. This is PRECISELY what he
received. 

Please feel free to contact me if you have other "suspicions." If my
answers are unsatisfactory, then by all means go ahead and say so
publicly. 

Thank you.

--Charles Platt, CryoCare
