Company claims to sell a magic pill that will produce crazy improvements in automative fuel economy. Website calls them out on this being snake oil. Company CEO gets mad, sends a nasty email including marketing materials that are meant to "prove" how awesome the product is, apparently demanding that website share this information.
Website shares and also mocks this information. Someone else at Company gets mad, contacts blog host demanding that Website's blog be shut down to prevent further distribution of marketing materials (and mockery). Website ensures wide distribution of materials through a series of mirrors (the Internet is both a series of tubes and a series of mirrors).
Their antics are pretty bizarre, but not mega-hilarious.

Based on estimates from public statements, somewhere between $10 million and $100 million was invested in the company, with people clamouring to get involved. But as another deadline passes on yet another promise tomorrow, doubts persist about how much is real.
Shares in Firepower were sold to about 1200 investors, ranging from high-profile AFL players such as Wayne Carey and Mark Ricciuto to unsophisticated mums and dads, many of whom were gambling their life savings. Like the products themselves, the returns they were promised bordered on the unlikely.
