As the Chief Executive of Verisona, while noting that the comment is not made by our own client, I am disappointed that the vendor was not impressed with our service; however, as stated Mr Penney was not our client and it is therefore difficult for me to comment on the transaction from his perspective. We will always act in the best interest of our own client while trying at all times to bring every transaction to the best conclusion for all concerned.
