Is there any chance of Connect.Data being sold to another company to continue it as it now is?

It works aboiut 80% of the time even if you are not connected with that person. If will however give you either a business or a personal email depending on how that person has their linkedIn page set up. I have found a couple of times that it will give you both, business and personal.
