If the information was from my database, then it was done without Matrix Content, Inc. or any of it principals giving any form of consent for use and we have never in the past. We are checking every possible explanation. This has truly personally hurt me and all the employees that work at Matrix. We have always prided ourselves as being upstanding and honest. Now my person integrity is being questioned and I?m very upset to put it lightly. So what can we do? If this information, and I mean if, came from us, help use prove it! I have spent the day discussing this in great detail with my attorney and other companies and this is what we have come up with:

If you believe your information came from us call me on Monday and I will personally deal with everyone I can. If I?m swamped we will take you number and I call everyone back. We need to prove, without a doubt, it was my database it came from. Since we did not give permission of its use, this is a serious problem. So if your not just into destroying a companies reputation and want to get to the bottom of this make the call.

I am 100% sure that in that in regards to their client email addresses registered with matrix content:

A) They were either rented / sold.

B) They were used internally for


or most likely,

C) The matrix servers or company and client data was compromised in some way.


I had talked with Normon about this many moons ago, well before Acacia arrived on the scene.

I started getting a ton of spam to my [email protected] email addresses, so I confronted Norman & matrix about it.

I have been reluctant to mention anything about it because Normon sort of dropped the ball with his investigation, so I'm not sure what to think.

But to Normans defense on the ball dropping, I know how it is to get super busy and have to rearrange priorities.

He just never got back to me and said "Yes, it sucks, but it turns out we got hacked and our information was compromised." as he had said he would.


Anyway If I was forced to guess what has happend - that would be it.

They were probably hacked awhile ago & someone stole their client list.

So somehow, apparently Acacia might have wound up with it (if it turns out be without a doubt the matrix client list being used)
