^* ICI, understandably, has not clutched Brent Pierce to its corporate bosom. SEC documents in 1999 and 2002 listed him as president. ICI said in January 2003 that Pierce was currently a consultant to ICI, and that he was “the owner of ICI during a brief period of 2000 for purposes related to litigation” (whatever that means). In March 2003, ICI said Pierce was “neither a director nor officer of ICI.”
