Marani Brands Inc. (MRIB)

[Matthew Berg]

Dan wasn't on vacation. He's gone. Just like Paul Fuegner. Saw too much BS, realized it was going nowhere, maybe missed a check or two and didn't want to get stink on himself when the shit hits the fan. He's probably at home removing Marani from his resume. I saw on one of the state reports that Dan was an officer. If I were him, finding out about ECO, Zodiac, Deborah Ridge, Charlie Owen, et. al., I'd be running for the hills, far and fast. I doubt the company has the money or even bothers with D&O insurance so he'd probably be prudent to distance himself from the actions of the company.

Brings up a second point and maybe someone can clear it up for me. I don't understand the merger transaction and company structure. Marani Brands, Inc. is the public entity, a Nevada corporation current and active. Marani Brands, Inc., forfeited their California business license some time ago. Marani Spirits, Inc. is a California corporation and has the business license in California that is active. How does this all work? By law, Marani Brands, Inc. being FTB suspended exposes them to all sorts of bad things in the jurisdiction of California for one but ignoring that, how does this shell game work? Are there separate books for Marani Spirits? Why the need to have Marani Spirits? The payroll tax issue? I dunno' but I'd sure love to see some itemized audited financials because this all smells very fishy.

And then Zodiac. Yet another cheesey event coming up for Marani and of course Zodiac is attached, the company Margrit is listed as past president and officer. What's the relationship? Marani is obviously paying Zodiac but is she still involved? For every dollar that goes to Zodiac does she got a chunk? And more news, guess who else is tied to Zodiac Brands...? Yup, Same ECO/Marani crowd, Charlie Owen, Deborah Ridge, etc. Some serious disclosure is required. And please take note of the Tustin Address. It's Marani's address. Guess they didn't get around to covering their tracks and changing their addresses on this one. Instead they just tried to take themselves off the annual list with a filing in January of this year, but guess what, you can't change the historical data. Same thing with ECO. Same thing with Marani Brands. And for the link requestors:
