Marani Brands Inc. (MRIB)

[Matthew Berg]

GUYS do the math, the diluted shares have not generated enough money to even think about stealing. the only way to make money is selling vodka. selling shares makes nothing. it is debt holders taking the money to repay debt, at least they are getting rid of some debt.. if shares where more, a lot more then there would be a point. now no. MRIB is in the vodka business. growing little by little !!

I think we've all done the math at one point or another on both topics. There was and still is to some extent, money in dilution and a program of selling and basically giving away stock. Matter of fact a great deal more than selling vodka and selling shares has no COG or operating costs. Furthermore neither you nor any of us have any idea how many more convertible deals MRIB has floated

So do the math just on what's gone out so far. Roughly 500 million shares in the last year. even taking an extremely low average like $.005 per share is $2.5 million. That's not worth stealing for a motivated crook? Take the current price even. $.0008 on the stock someone got at a basis of $.0001 is a profit of $350K for someone and another $50K for someone else in basis... or as I suspect $400K for one entity. Regardless, $400K is a pretty good take for a two bit crook and that number is ridiculously conservative because the stock was over a penny just a few months back and hundreds of million went free when the stock was up past $.03. Bottom line is there's a ton of money in the stock selling and a lot more than selling vodka.

Conversely, to NET $2.5 million MRIB would have to sell close to $20 million in vodka. The question is have you done the math because it seems quite obvious that selling stock is a far more profitable business than selling vodka, at least for MRIB. The vodka is a lark. Just a vehicle so people can say "real product". An ethyl alcohol mirage and charade.

End of the day, the company has gone dark so math becomes meaningless other than calculating losses. It's following and eerily similar pattern to the first MRIB go around. Rapidly declining PPS, increase O/S, no news or communication from the company and a few last lame attempts at lame event hype through social media, most of it untrue or exaggerated such as the last one which was just another promoter for profit event selling tickets to a fictional audience of star attendees. Oh, and of course, the soiree at the gay bar next month. Think it's pretty much over and done with. It's funny because a lot of us were ridiculed for predicting the company would go dark shortly after the last annual report. Pretty much looks like that now.
