Re: Cogent & FDCServers: Knowingly aiding and abetting fraud and theft?

The fact that the port authority building is also an office building with multiple other tenants?

Whois contacts on a defunct domain belonging to an Australian government port authority agency that’s since been 
renamed don’t appear to support your hypothesis that this is another tenant of a government owned building.

Ron,

I’m just saying that I randomly checked one fact and it doesn’t meet the level of positive certainty that you asserted. 
It’s thus reasonable to ask you to double check your research all around. I’m not willing to be your unpaid copy 
editor, so let me know when you’ve done a double check and I’ll be willing to invest time in your story again.
