ATS is privately owned.

That is your list of owners.
As far as ATS becoming public company? I doubt it.
~TenthAs an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

wonder if OWS will exploit privately own companies as those who will not share the wealth.
revenues split 8 ways after bills are paid or funding which grey area.
Ok I guess its fare to ask which Charities ATS donates 10% to and what that amount is

I'm amazed that you actually think this is any of yiour business at all. Even what you have been told so far is none of your business. ATS ownership is perfectly within their rights to tell you take a hike.

rebellender, is there a reason for your request beyond curiosity? Have you found something that you think is important? I don't want to miss an important issue, and if you think you've got one, I'd like to know what it is.

while it is true that ATS can tell me to take a hike why are you defending ATS in such a way as to tall me to take a hike?

This caught my eye. Why does a free site like ATS have to be defended? Are you attacking?

Dear rebellender,
It may be a strange thing to say, but I like your style. Sort of a cross between a fresh breeze ruffling a girl's skirt, and a drunk monster truck driver tearing up a small town Main Street.
You won't get your answers, but I like the spirit that prompted you to ask. Sort of like popping a beer can tab in the back of church.
Stick around, you should be a lot of fun.
With respect,
charles1952

Actually, a bit more information would be needed for that to be 100% accurate. If I understand this information correctly, in 2007 a 50% stake was sold to a group of private, undisclosed investors.

Here is a link to a thread from that time where SO answers questions, etc., about the sale. Hopefully this will save him the trouble of having to address them again here.

SO also posted this thread in November of 2006 in regards to the then upcoming potential sale.
