We had to let John go this last week, we tried to do it in an amicable
fashion, but John had and has been enganged in this type of activity
for a bit now.  Everything in this email is a complete fabrication. 
John cannot legally sell the Rekall software, nor does he own it.

I'm sorry for any confusion this might have caused anyone, but we're
still here and will be here for a long time to come.
