Marani Brands Inc. (MRIB)

[Matthew Berg]

Berg the contracts got me. Big mistake. I bought just under .02 but want .03 for my troubles with this stock.

Really? That's unfortunate. Four things to remember as we grow older... Never pass up a bathroom, never waste a boner, never trust a fart and NEVER ever trust a contract unless you know the terms. LOL.

There were too many red flags on the contracts for me like the FINRA documentation trying to legitimize it without giving terms but I was just in it because of a buddy. He got slaughtered believing the OTC data which I started to question and that's when I got out. I also had started reading the MRIB version 1 reports and damn if it wasn't a fill in the blanks template. Foreign contracts, advertising, marketing, events, shipments on the way, national retailers and distributors, etc. It was so obvious to me at that point. The tipping point was the $25 million loss and not a single contractor or vendor filed a suit when they went dark. A network of friendlies. IMO, there's a good case for money laundering and RICO action if you could connect the dots. Some are already there. Maybe you can make Margrit settle with you out of court! The threat of jail time would not be "pleasant" for her. She wouldn't last a day.

IRS is still your best bet. They only need a phone call. I'll just about guarantee there's a huge tax liability on stock compensation. MRIB can't even get a quarterly out let alone documentation for an employee stock plan and complex options and arrant transactions. Do you really think MRIB reported the stock compensation as regular income to the IRS and state of California. Damn FTB in California will chase you for a dollar!
