This article is spam, not a lot of doubt in my mind - I've seen it before, and a quick google for the text takes you to a deleted CP article from 9th April.[^]

The trouble is that if you search for a different part of the text, it leads you to "press clippings":

http://www.wakanda.org/press-clippings[^]

Which seems to be using his previous deleted article as a "puff" from this site to boost the credibility of his product. It it was me, I wouldn't be too happy about that!
