Interesting. I contacted Haleron a short time ago and sent them the link to the article. Here is the reply I received with 10 minutes. Someone may have put their proverbial foot in their proverbial mouth - or not.

ADDED: I did email them yet again explaining that people may be suspicious due to the lack of any real photos or videos as well as the odd payment types they accept. I suggested they are doing themselves no favors but providing one drawing of the device and nothing more. I also asked for dimensions and weight. Maybe they'll send me something - like maybe the device to prove it exists!

Thank you for the information. Here are the words we send to the editor of such article.

Mr. Kyle VanHemert,

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Kyle Schlosser, General Manager of Grupo Haleron, LTDA. I have recently been made aware of a distrubing post that you have allowed on the internet concerning our company. The article states tha the owners have filed a bankrupcy in Colorado and have several failed companies.

I do not know where you receive such information. But I can assure you it is in error. Your investigator has mistaken an SEC filing for a Bankrupcy I believe. The SEC filing in Colorado is not a bankrupcy. It is a public filing for taking the company in reference public on the Stock Exchange.

Evigroup, I do not know. There are various models of units coming in 7 inch that you will see on the horizon.

Our Company is Grupo Haleron LTDA. A Colombian Company for Manufacturing and assembly. We are a 6 year old company.

We request that you repair the damage you have caused Grupo Haleron.

Regards, and Regrets that you care to defame our company.

Kyle Schlosser
General Manager
