You can’t keep a good snake oil salesman down — well, until he jumps right the hell overboard from his company. Maybe possibly actually on the eve of — gasp — actually shipping something, vaporware stock scamming pump and dump frontrunner Phantom Entertainment (aka Infinium Labs, aka the dudes Gizmondo like sooo looked up to) announced today that its founder, Chairman, and Director Tim Roberts is peaceing out just in time to not screw up their non-sales during this week’s E3 conference.

Lovely fluff ensues: “‘We are grateful for Tim’s vision and his service in helping to guide the Company since its inception’ noted Greg Koler, CEO and President of Phantom Entertainment, Inc. ‘We will miss Tim’s counsel and insightful views on the direction of technology and we wish him well with his new endeavors.’” Vision? In producting what, bupkis? Service? In doing what, leaving the company in 2005 with a booty load of stock making the whole business look like a scam? Man, you can’t even make this shlock up.

Read - press release
Read - CNN says dude’s a crook (2006)
Bonus: check out dude’s LinkedIn profile. He really seems to believe he’s a “Proven Leader in Sales.” Sales of what, exactly?
