DIAMOND MULTIMEDIA HIT BY FRAUD

CHATSWORTH, CA —September 26, 2008— Diamond Multimedia (www.diamondmm.com), a leading manufacturer of PC graphics cards, sound cards and communications products responds to erroneous faulty product reports.

In a recent series of articles planted in on line press, Diamond was wrongly pictured as selling sub-standard video cards. A disgruntled former employee, who was terminated due to presenting fraudulent credentials, reported the story. When this person was unable to solve a very minor problem that affected less than 200 cards, many red flags were sent up, resulting in an investigation and termination. This former employee sent these unsubstantiated stories to inflict harm.

“This is serious business,” said Bruce Zaman, CEO of Diamond. “We hired the man on the strength of his resume and a clean criminal background check,“ Zaman added. “When we dug deeper we found that the person was not who he said he was and promptly terminated him.”

This is why any news service must check the background of the person making these allegations. Gossip becomes news and can hurt a business that has served the industry and the community well for more than 25 years. “Our employees can suffer the consequences of this kind of personal attack, too,” Zaman said. Diamond has taken steps to alert the press, both print and on line, to insure that the correct story gets out and the character and motive of the former employee are known. “It is incumbent upon the writers to get it right,” said Zaman. “They need to check the source just as the mainstream press does. If not done, their credibility can be compromised by the source.”

The on line press serves as a conduit for new technology, information on product performance and general industry news that we all find useful. “When the on line press is used this way it serves no one well. It becomes one person’s tool to inflict malicious gossip – the entire industry is harmed when that happens, “ added Zaman.


All Diamond video cards carry the Diamond guarantee of quality assurance. Unlike many cards that are simply first to market, Diamond carefully tests and retests every new model for its ratio of performance to reliability. Diamond is legendary in the PC video card business for its less than 1 percent return rate versus an industry average of approximately 10 percent. Diamond cards use superior connectors, cables and components, as well as undergo more thorough testing for heat susceptibility and durability.
