Remember that Steek is a french company, like LaCie. It's safe to assume that LaCie knows Steek's story better than F-Secure does. If Steek were worth that much money, LaCie wouldn't have bought Wuala instead. LaCie probably made the better deal. Remember that Steek is a french company, like LaCie.

Any whistle blowers? Considering that Wuala wasn't profitable either, I'd assume they got between 5-10 million US$. (I also wonder how a company selling online storage can employ 50 people like Steek. That's measly 50'000 Euro revenue per head.) Wondering for how much Wuala was sold to LaCie? Any whistle blowers?
