Amr Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I care less about the number, am interested more about the functionality. So whatever 3.0 will bring is more important. It’s time to upgrade for sure but I will definitely wait till the dust is cleared, the future will bring surprises for sure ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic30101 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I have been offloading my stack of HC250s I have accumulated for the last few months on ebay expecting the 250 and 800 to be on the cusp of a sunset regardless of any recent leaks just based on observing all new devices are android based so they have been moving the chess pieces slowly into place to eventually pull the plug on all HC controllers which are holding back progress and do a significant update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that this post isn't the first one out there to discuss 3.0. Also you would have to prove the person who posted on this forum was purposefully giving privileged and confidential information with the purpose to themselves or help others make money by buying stocks ahead of the release. Then the stocks have to actually change based on said release of software. Sorry but many stocks drop after software releases if they traders don't think it's sufficient enough to keep up with competition. So telling people they are going to jail for posting on a public forum with already known information is a bit much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but that's wrong. You do not have to prove intent to be prosecuted for insider trading. Only that the information was insider information (obviously information about future features is) and that someone profited off of it.

Neo1738 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Yes but you have to prove the OP is the only source of said information. That OP was someone with privileged access to the information (ie worked for or contracts for and has this information) and then prove someone on this forum is going to profit from it. My understanding is that this thread wasn't the first mention of version 3.0 features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo1738 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 It’s notoriously difficult for federal prosecutors to prove securities fraud It may not be illegal to trade on information you overhear in public, on the train or at the movies. The standards are high for proving such cases. In 2014, two hedge fund managers, Anthony Chiasson, cofounder of defunct Level Global, and Todd Newman, a manager at Diamondback, had their insider trading convictions overturned. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit said the evidence was insufficient to sustain a guilty verdict, because “in order to sustain a conviction for insider trading, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt” that the person providing the information, the tippee, knew that an insider, the tipper, disclosed confidential information and that he did so in exchange for a personal benefit. Prosecutors also need to prove that the person making the trades knew the tip came from illegally obtained information. In Billy Walters’ case, Walters also encouraged World Golf Hall of Famer Phil Mickelson to trade in Dean Foods stock. Ever hear of the Samsung, Motorola, Google, etc feature or phone leaks? EVleaks the website hasn't been arrested for releasing information prior to public release because it's disseminated in a public forum. This is a public forum. If they took those features and traded the stock without telling publicly could be in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatheed Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Quote Oftentimes, people accused of the crime claim that they just overheard someone talking. Take for example a neighbor who overhears a conversation between a CEO and her husband regarding confidential corporate information. If the neighbor then goes ahead and makes a trade based on what was overheard, he or she would be violating the law even though the information was just "innocently" overheard: the neighbor becomes an insider with a fiduciary duty and obligation to confidentiality the moment he or she comes to possess the nonpublic material information. Since, however, the CEO and her husband did not try to profit from their insider knowledge, they are not necessarily liable of insider trading. In their carelessness, they may, however, be in breach of their confidentiality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatheed Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Do you want to give the FCC a reason to tear your life apart? I wouldn't. Speculating about rumors is good fun.

Release in a public format is not insider trading. Again think if all the phone leaks prior to release. No one gets prosecuted for insider trading because they are releasing to the general public not personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pounce Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 3 hours ago, thegreatheed said: I proved the validity of a shareholder dispute by saying that sharing rumors is bad? Ok, then. No. You think that there is some value in information about something that hasn't been released to the public yet (major version software increment). You think it has great value. The shareholder concern is that Control4 under valued themselves for the purchase so that SnapAV was getting a better deal than they should. Rather Control4 didn't really put themselves on the market and let the market decide. I don't think there is any value, but if there was a lot of value as you suggest then perhaps the company sold for less and the Control4 board cheated investors and lined the pockets of SnapAV... or so the story goes. If nobody trades on the information about 3.0 then there is no insider trading. No trades. No trading. Sharing something that is a "rumor" isn't against the law. I'm curious, does the dealer agreement with Control4 state that the dealer has in any way a fiduciary responsibility to Control4? Assuming there is some sort of beta happening for 3.0 I'd imagine that the pending update would not be considered "confidential". If they are telling non employees with no fiduciary responsibility what's in the update and when it may be released then it's more or less public.

South Africa C4 user Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Personally, I love C4 but have been disappointed by the lack of new releases in the last couple of years... the last real release was Intercom Anywhere (around 18 months ago or 30 months ago?). As a consequence, I am very excited to hear about 3.0 or any other rumors that imply something new and exciting is coming so will keep reading this thread with interest and hope, even if it all ends up being wrong . So feel free to pass on any ITK info you all have! I am listening blackfiveo1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blub Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I can confirm the HC250 will not be able to upgrade to 3.0 the HC800 can but you will be unable to use the GUI This doesn't mean that they have to be removed from the project.Usually if components can't be upgraded to the new major release they will stay on the old OS and will still work - I.e. connected IR buds and audio out will continue to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
