In that case, they should keep the VMS and sell the name; to someone who actually makes security lenses, for instance.

Undisclosed Manufacturer #2
JValley is in Amman, Jordan, which is also where the previous owner of LenSec, Marwan Attalla is from, and I think lives today. He is from an extremely well respected family, and is exceptionally well connected in the Middle Eastern business community, and he is a pretty solid guy. I've heard that the King of Jordan was in his wedding, for a little perspective on his social circle. Probably a friend-of-a-friend deal, or the son-of-a-friend-of-a-friend.
