Marani Brands Inc. (MRIB)

[Matthew Berg]

Yes, what's the difference between a distributor contract and a joint venture with a distributor promising the exact same thing? The form of the MRIB agreement is meaningless. The results promised and delivered are all that matters and to date there hasn't bee even a hint of a joint venture just like there was no evidence of a distributor contract. Both inferred the same deal and referenced the latter, the existing agreement directly... $100 million in revenues any way you cut it. Both failed. Call the arrangement whatever you want but in the end all that's left to consider is shipped and sold. I ca't understand why folks are making excuses for the miserable MRIB Brazil failure.
