Although I have never met him personally, I have corresponded with George for so long that I consider him a good friend....despite the fact that our politics couldn't be more diametrically opposed...one thing we both agreed on is that there was no point discussing politics..neither one of us would sway the other, and there was no sense in just getting PO'd at each other. While he's still way off to the right, he does have a different perspective now...
Here's another article George sent me....http://www.heritage.org/Research/LegalIssues/lm0044.cfm
Take care, Eric
I'm sure the Arias familly made a lot of money becasue of thier kovachii flasks, but I think your 18000 flask estimate may have an extra zero on the end. I would even suggest that 1800 flasks is a very liberal estimate.
I have been to thier lab. It is not big enough to hold 18000 flasks, nor did they have the hood space to produce that many flasks.
And probably the most importatnt consideration, I don't think there is enough demand on this planet for that many kovachii flasks.

The hobby flasks were priced significantly lower then $1040. Somewhere around $200. So 1800 x 200 is $36000. Thats a ways from $1,000,000. I still think 1800 is a very high estimate.
My contacts in Taiwan told me most growers didn't bother with kovachii. Too hot to grow.

You missed a zero. That would be 360,000.The hobby flasks were priced significantly lower then $1040. Somewhere around $200. So 1800 x 200 is $36000. Thats a ways from $1,000,000. I still think 1800 is a very high estimate.
George asked me to forward this message to the list...here it is-
Manuel never paid me anything because he didn't owe me. We posted bond for his release to the tune of $200,000 but Manuel paid his fine and the courts have dropped it for now. The gov't has a lien filed in the wrong county but they haven't seen fit to do anything.
Neither Norris nor his wife knows how they will face retirement with all of their savings used to pay legal expenses. Arias's bond hangs over their heads as well, and the government has said that it will seek to enforce it. That threat keeps Kathy up at nights. She doesn't know what else they could give up, other than the house, or how they could possibly come up with the $175,000 still owed.
Manuel has not become a millionaire with the Kovachii. Many of his flasks arrived broken in Europe for a show and he hardly made expenses. His sales have slowed and while he lives well, his nursery business is suffering. He is selling more cut flowers in Lima than plants internationall
