[QUOTE="chip, post: 1808983, member: 19122"]I read both the Kitco article and the replies by Maquires company and by Maquire. I would like to believe that one or the other might be somewhat truthful but here is what I get out of the articles, the Kitco article if true is very damaging to the reputation of Maquire, I find it very hard to imagine that any responsible reporter would post such an article without contacting and talking to the subject of the article. Perhaps that is old fashioned of me, but usually when I read a smear piece it has the opposite effect that its writers intended, and that means the writer loses credibility with me. The other thing is that the site that posted the replies has some very negative comments and nothing much that speaks to the issue, it seems to be answer a smear with a smear, if the allegations are untrue, it is easy enough to supply some sort of documentary evidence that would put the lie to allegations. Since that was not done, it either means where there is smoke there is fire, or the people who put together the replies did not realize that supplying copies of old letterheads or employment records would go much further to make a case than simply saying the source of the allegations has a vendetta against Maquire. Bottom line, not enough information to make an informed judgement at this time.[/QUOTE]
