I've read some posts on Tower Pro and it appears Nick was there for legitimate reasons.He had a business here in the states and others on that site testify to him doing work for them.Looks like his dad was GM of the business and they had some innovative ideas about how to improve communications in countries where the infrastructure was somewhat weak. Just because someone's biz name isn't registered,doesn't mean a thing.He could have had the business set up as D.B.A. or just didn't go through the "correct" channels to incorporate.

Looks like he was working on a presentation to show the guys back home what the conditions were over there.(as in communication tower destruction)That probably had alot to do with why he was seen using his laptop very often.

That's absolutely correct. I can tell you based on various Secretary of State's websites, Prometheus Methods Tower Services Inc. wasn't incorporated in New York or Oklahoma, (where Nick Berg attended school), Pennsylvania (where he lived), Maryland (where he did a lot of work), Delaware or Nevada (where most companies are incorporated), or California. That doesn't prove anything. It could be incorporated in 43 other states, U.S. territories or foreign countries --- or not at all. Nick Berg wouldn't have been the first person not to incorporate a home-based business. If someone has access to Lexis or CT Advantage, two pay databases that may allow for a multi-state search, perhaps they can run one. BTW --- A list of Secretary of State offices is here, if anyone wants to continue the inquiry.

Some FReeper on another thread mentioned that he knew someone who did his payroll. Does anyone remember who that was?

It means if he's putting up or taking down radio towers as anything but an employee on someone elses payroll he wasn't licensed to do it...hence not a legitimate business.

Did you read Calcowgirl's link...there's a connection to George Soros!! Enemy #1 of America and Bush. This was not an innocent business.

More prescient is the odd circumstance of a Commie NGO of the same name being in the same town as the Bergs.
