I just found the post by Pigman in another SI forum. It looks credible to me.

SI IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE! (SECOND POST)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am a general class amateur radio operator. On Thursday, on 20 meters, I had the opportunity to talk to a retired man who lives in Belize. The band was in and his signal sounded like a good telephone connection. He is a nice guy and we had a pleasant chat. I told him the story about SI and asked him if he would go the SI offices and find out what he could. I gave him SI's address. He lived close and said that he would.

I talked to him again this morning and he said he went to the SI offices. He walked in and talked to a "very cute" receptionist. He asked if the company was still in business. She replied that it was. He asked if he could deposit money in SI. She said that it would have to be done through E-Bullion. She also said that the SI servers were down at the moment for repairs but that they would be back up shortly. After depositing his money into E-Bullion and when the servers were back up again, he would be able to deposit his funds with them.

He asked if Sam Colins or Rafael Sosa were there. She said that Colins was out of the office on business, but that Rafael Sosa was there, but he was very busy.

I would suggest that if anyone doubts that SI is still there, buy a round trip ticket to Belize and find out for themselves. Or find someone who could check this out. Don't take my word for this.

If anyone needs their funds now, it might be a good idea to send them a letter and ask for a check.

Honestly, I find it hard to believe that SI would disappear at this time when they said that they were going to stay in business for another five years, until October, 2011. If they do, they will probably have 10 times the wealth that they do now. It doesn't make sense to me that they would disappear at this time, considering what they could make in the next 5 years.

For all of our sakes, let's hope the servers come back on line soon.

By the way, don't shoot the messenger.
