Odigo Instant message warning of 9/11 attack...was this ever wrapped up?
Obviously an old story from 2001, does anyone have a follow up?

Odigo says workers were warned of attack

Odigo, the instant messaging service, says that two of its workers received messages two hours before the Twin Towers attack on September 11 predicting the attack would happen, and the company has been cooperating with Israeli and American law enforcement, including the FBI, in trying to find the original sender of the message predicting the attack.

Micha Macover, CEO of the company, said the two workers received the messages and immediately after the terror attack informed the company's management, which immediately contacted the Israeli security services, which brought in the FBI.

1. I don't but it's probably in the timeline.

3. Yes, it's pretty wrapped up.
The workers who said they received the IMs were in Israel, not New York City.
Here's an excerpt from one page that looks at the matter more closely:

Odigo Vice President of Sales and Marketing... Alex Diamandis today in a telephone interview also said the warning message did not identify the World Trade Center as the attack target.

That explains why they didn’t notify their employees in the towers, then -- they didn’t know the attack was coming after all. In fact for all we know, the message could have been something very vague that only seemed meaningful later: “America will pay for its crimes, and sooner than anyone believes”. That seems plausible from the comment Alex Diamandis made in another article.

"Without going into details, the message was most noteworthy due to the timing, not due to the substance of the 'warning.' It could easily be coincidence," Diamandis said.

There is another reason why Odigo didn’t alert their WTC employees, of course. They didn’t have any offices there.
