Email links have been sent to my local TV news organizations.
The big guys don't seem to be listening, maybe the smaller guys will and investigate. Maybe there's somebody at the smaller stations who wants to be famous and will get on it.
I just checked whois for the page alumni website http://www.pagealumni.us/

Good luck!
It may be that the FBI really is looking into it now and does not want the media to scoop it quite yet. We can hope....
UPDATE (more research) (I promise to get a ping list going as soon as I can figure out how to do it)

HEADLINE: Texas-Based Venture Capital Firm Expands with Colorado Springs, Colo., Office
BYLINE: By Chris Walsh
BODY:
A Texas venture capital firm will open a Colorado Springs office in several weeks, with plans to invest millions of dollars in high-tech startups locally and across the Front Range.
Austin-based Gefinor Ventures is close to signing a lease for space downtown and expects to open a local office in April, said Greg Carlisle, a managing director with the firm who will run the local office.
The move provides a much-needed boost to the local high-tech community, which long has suffered from a dearth of venture capital that has hampered startup activity, business leaders said. They expect a fund with an office in the Springs will look more closely at locally based companies, and could attract other investors to the area.
Carlisle declined to disclose how much money the firm has to invest, citing legal issues. It will make investments, however, ranging from $ 500,000 to $ 7 million in tech startups in Colorado and Austin.
"In my mind, it means they want to be on the ground floor here, have the first chance at funding these opportunities," said Gary Markle, chief executive officer of the Colorado Springs Technology Incubator.
Gefinor is looking at potential investments in Colorado Springs and elsewhere on the Front Range, Carlisle said.
Venture capital refers to investments made in startup companies, typically in exchange for part ownership in the firm. Startups use the money to grow, release products and become profitable.
Gefinor considered opening a permanent Colorado office in Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins, among other cities. The Colorado Springs Greater Economic Development Corp. and local business leaders ultimately convinced him to locate in the Springs.
"They were instrumental in getting us to look at Colorado Springs ... and assuring us that we'd have their support to help grow the technology industry" in the Springs, Carlisle said.
Carlisle also said the city is attractive because it has good schools, a technology incubator, an educated work force and several large high-tech companies.
Gefinor invests in "disruptive technologies," or products that can change how an industry does business.
The firm focuses on companies in software, Internet infrastructure, wireless communication technology, photonics, nanotechnology and data storage. Its current portfolio, which has more than 10 firms, includes Hillzoo.com, the official Web site for Capitol Hill, and Genesant Technologies, which develops health and fitness administration software.
Gefinor was formed in January from a merger between Inman Ventures and the venture arm of Gefinor, a banking firm based in New York. Inman was founded in Austin in 1998 by Carlisle and Adm. Bobby Inman, a businessman and angel investor."

I have linked to this page because this is the main man over there. He may or may not known anything about Softec(but you would think he did because he invested in it). He serves on several liberal foundations that get money from none other than George Soros's Open Society Institute. His bio says:
"In his prior experience, he attained the rank of four-star U.S. Navy Admiral and served as Director of Naval Intelligence, Director of the National Security Agency, and Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. After his retirement from the military, Admiral Inman became a leader in Austin's developing technology community as the Chairman and CEO of Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC), a consortium of computer software and hardware makers created in 1982...."

"He is a Director of the Public Agenda Foundation and a member of the National Academy of Public Administration. In addition, he holds the Lyndon B. Johnson Centennial Chair in National Policy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas."
The Public Agenda Foundation(liberal):

Now the CO founder(deceased but helped Carter give away the panama canal and nukes...lol):
Cyrus Vance , Former U.S. Secretary of State
Back to Who's Who
"The American people, far from being shortsighted and easily manipulated on foreign policy issues, will — when presented with unbiased and meaningful choices — make thoughtful decisions. I think it is now up to our nation's leaders to respond in like manner." — Cyrus Vance, 1988
Along with social scientist Daniel Yankelovich, Mr. Vance founded Public Agenda in 1975 and served as chairman of the board for many years. He died in 2002 at age 84.
He was best known for his service as U.S. secretary of state from 1977 to 1980, under President Carter, where he was instrumental in negotiating the Panama Canal Treaty and the Camp David peace accord. Earlier, he served as deputy secretary of defense and secretary of the Army under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Later, during the 1990s, Mr. Vance was personal envoy of the secretary-general of the United Nations in the Greece-Macedonia negotiations, and personal envoy to the former Yugoslavia. Mr. Vance was also appointed chairman of the International Blue Ribbon Panel on Missing Persons in the former Yugoslavia.
At Public Agenda, Mr. Vance was the guiding force for the organization's work on arms control and foreign policy during the 1980s. In particular, he was a leader in the groundbreaking project called "The Public, The Soviets and Nuclear Arms," which combined in-depth research on public attitudes on U.S.-Soviet relations with a series of town hall meetings around the country. More than 76,000 people came together in the "Public Summit '88" town hall sessions to discuss options for dealing with the Soviet Union. Public Agenda conducted the project in conjunction with the Center for Foreign Policy Development at Brown University.
In addition to serving as chairman of Public Agenda's board, Mr. Vance was a trustee emeritus at The Mayo Foundation, and chairman of the Japan Society from 1985 to 1993 and of the American Ditchley Foundation from 1981 to 1994. Mr. Vance was also former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and of The Rockefeller Foundation, and former vice-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations."

Here is another article(written by a lib but informative) about the guy.
Excerpt regarding OSI 'gay agenda':
Over the past five years, the Soros network has given a successful start to previously nonexistent "gay" activism in almost all of its areas of operation. The campaign for "LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] Rights" is directed from Budapest, where Miriam Molnar's 1999 policy paper published by OSI defined the "problem" as discrimination and the low level of acceptance, visibility, and political representation of LGBT's. It was necessary either "to convince the society to accept LGBT people as equal and let the society make pressure [sic] to the politicians (through media) to change laws" or "to convince the politicians that LGBT people are equal and that they need help in convincing the rest of the society." The overall goals were to generate discussion about LGBT identity within the community, to make them visible and "create a positive image," and to establish regular forums of discussion with other groups in the region. Specific tasks included the development of websites in English with subsites in local languages, the establishment of task forces that would react to all "homophobic" media outbursts in one "Pink Book," and the organization of two-week summer schools for teachers that would "provide training about discrimination of [sic] LGBT people, disabled people, overweight people etc."
