Suspicious Hawaiian Start-up Needs CTO - Book-em Dan-O

We had a really lousy run-in with a Hawaiian tech start-up back in the day -- you don't want to know. So this search for a "brilliant CTO" by a stealth-mode, well funded Hawaiian start-up freaks us out. The start-up describes itself in these vague terms: "innovative service enables cross platform media delivery and management in a way that fits seamless [sic] with each user’s lifestyle." This company may be legit, but if the principals had anything to do with WorldPoint Interactive and have any connection to the Swiss financier Massimo Fuchs or the plastic surgeon Dr. Bob, we recommend you run for you life.
