Web News: Infinium Labs 'initiates legal action' against [H]ardOCP

scapegoat · 20-February-04, 03:15 PM

If you dont know who Infinium Labs are, dont worry, your not alone. Makers of the aptly named "Phantom" Game system

September 17, 2003 [H] wrote a fairly nasty article regardy the mysterious console, which has been ignored by Infinium Labs, until now

Sure enough, we were talking about HardOCP. The "legal action" turned out to be a lawyer-written threat letter, not a lawsuit, and the letter was dated February 19, 2004, even though the story that angered Infinium Labs ran back on September 17, 2003.

During that phone conversation, and again during a later meeting at Infinium's offices -- they finally rented space in a downtown Sarasota highrise, a good while after they started claiming they had a downtown office -- Roberts blamed HardOCP for killing a $25 million investment in his company. This was, it turned out, the same $25 million he had previously told me he already had in hand. Of course, I may have misunderstood all that. Maybe there was $25 million somewhere. Or maybe there wasn't and I just thought there was. Yeah. That's it. I misunderstood. And all those notes I took, for the story I never wrote, are probably wrong.
