There a ton to this story.
Still have a contact from overseas that was still involved with them. I have messaged him. See if he can or will offer some perspective.
I believe livingsteel died, or so was reported a few years ago. Double wide had gotten popped them resurfaced and disappeared again shortly thereafter.
Guessing this wasn't to do with the aas side of things.....but we shall see. I expect that if it was you might see some changes at a couple labs up here.
