I am very certain that Mr. Heddle isn't an idiot.

I am very certain that Mr. Heddle isn't an idiot. When Mr. Heddle let investors keep thinking that full production was finally at hand in 2013 after six months of testing but then let another six months pass before disclosing that the plant had been out of commission...that shows that he has no qualms about deceiving investors...but that wasn't a dumb move for someone trying to keep the story alive. Also when he 'vetted' EcoNav, everyone who did a Google search saw that EcoNav was a brand new LLC with no identifiable operations. Mr. Heddle absolutely knew EcoNav couldn't deliver. He announced the two customers found by EcoNav to purchase 30+ processors with fanfare as well.

As far as the poster saying investors owe Mr. Heddle a debt of graditude...that's absolutely ridiculous. I don't know what happened to all of the $20M lost and added to PTOI's accumulated deficit since Mr. Heddle took over...but he didn't even pay the mortgage on the property which was recently sold. $20M vanished into thin air...no sales expenses, no operations, no R&D, no capital expenditures and I highly doubt any marketing expenses. Without Mr. Heddle, the mortgage would have been in default just the same...but at least it wouldn't have been sold with that money to be wasted, and PTOI wouldn't have had millions more in debt.

Yes, I understand your penny stock also is the real deal, created with the inventiveness of Edison and destined to be the next Microsoft. Yes, I understand that the delays are also only because your company is making their product and/or technology even more revolutionary.
