Then why bother doing the deal through GEI? Why not do it through qasp? Why the extra layer? What are the specifics of GEI's deal with the private investors? Why hide it from the public? This is nothing like Proctor or BoA - their subsidiaries are transparent and the public knows where the money falls - not so with murky GEI and qasp. Oh, and it is not a "marijuana hydro grow store" but simply, a garden shop that sells some hydro equipment.
