Tony is a wise man, with his credentials, it is hard to imagine he would throw good money after bad. By the same token he wouldn't let this start-up company fall apart because lack of funding. The certs are taking much longer than imagined by anyone, insiders included i'm sure, but none of them will let this thing drop before it has it's chance in the market, MMTC has come too far. Seeing the insiders step up to keep the company alive in the face of oposition from so many fronts, makes one feel this is solid. MMTC is standing the test of fire and when it emerges the blade will cut to the heart of the food safety market with sales and profits. IMHO
