Paul Montgomery (VP),
Mark Randall (Public Relations Mgr),
Kiki Stockhammer (Title unneeded ;),
Steve Hartford (Engineer),
Ken Turcotte (Engineer), and
Daniel Kaye (Head of Product Development)....

Have all left the employ of NewTek Inc, Topeka Kansas to pursue
other goals. They are leaving Topeka for the "Bay Area" of Calif
and will eventually have one or more new product announcements.
Their split from NewTek was "amicable" according to Randall, who
phoned me today to give me this news, and to clear the air of
various rumors flying around.

Mark would give me no info about what company they intended to
start, exactly where it would be located, or what products (for
what platforms) they would be designing and producing, or how
many more people would be hired/involved in this new enterprise.

I asked Mark about the status of Brad Carvey and Allen Hastings
and he told me they are not NewTek employees but outside contractors
and were not involved in this situation at all.

Again, this info came to me from a now EX NewTek employee, not from
anyone still employed there, so if and when NewTek officially
acknowledges any of this or not is up to them.

any way, shape or form, and am just presenting this info here
to quell some incessant rumors).
