As of now every thing that was said to be done has been. Merger closed!!! Audited financials, as far as a PR it will come when the time is right and every thing is in order, no need to pump out words to keep the impatient ones happy (fluff).
Lets take a look at the new management team that SoOum brings to the table, very impressive. Not your typical OTC management. I can't see any members here running their creditability into the dirt for a quick $. IMO
William Westbrook
Chairman & President
In 2009, Mr. Westbrook completed the first global trade transactions, causing him to form a company directly suited for this type of business, which was given the name of Estmar Global, Inc. Global trade transactions continued through Estmar Global, Inc. until the end of 2011, when it became apparent that to attain a steady state and higher rate of closings, Estmar Global, Inc. would need enhance its business model. SoOum Corp was born February 2, 2013.
