 [V] ex-owner of vote-auction.com claiming hoax ?

 Wired-news has issued 2 articles about the ex-owner
 of vote-auction.com claiming this was all a hoax and
 never intended to work in reality.

 Vote-auction.com has learned that the ex-owner has
 been under heavy pressure from federal and state-
 Authorities over the last weeks. 

 Various critical voices have tried to influence
 Vote-auction.com in order to discredit the effort
 to bring this full capitalistic market-place to the 
 american people:
 
 -- FSB business: „…Jay Stanley, an analyst at Forrester 
 Research, doesn't believe that Bernhard plans to turn 
 Voteauction.com into a lasting business…“ --
 http://www.fsb.com/fortunesb/articles/0,2227,966,00.html

-- Wired News: „ …Deborah Phillips, chair of the Voting Integrity Project… "Satire doesn't usually involve the exchange of money, nor does it usually cross international boundaries or involve international security threats," she said.“
http://www.wirednews.com/news/politics/0,1283,39770,00.html

 Vote-auction.com has been purchased by an austrian
 Holding company for business-purposes. The long-term
 prospects of this free, large-scaled, global market has
 stimulated interest and the company will continue to 
 run this platform after Nov, 7th.

 election will take place on Nov. 7th, 2000.
