I have been involved in four situations that actually made it to the investigation stage. Veronica is pretty much correct in stating a two year period (actually longer from my experiences) just to get to an action stage. And in all four cases the investigation led to action by the SEC and/or the FBI. MRIB would be my fifth. I have already submitted a report to the IRS, SEC and the local field office of the FBI and entered a claim for the whistle blower fee with all three agencies. But that was just a few months ago so I wouldn't expect anything for quite some time. Those reports by the way included a lot of information on MRIB that I have not yet shared which is quite damaging.
All of what's going on is probably relevant to the fact that the walls are closing in on Margrit. As I stated previously, the MRIB "relocation" is nothing of the sort. It's an attempt to escape California jurisdiction and an FTB lien on MRIB assets. MRIB is and has always been a Nevada company. Marani Spirits, Inc. is the California corporation that has been operating under the guise of MRIB as a foreign corporation, illegally IMO.
Regardless, MRIB, whther it is operating under MRIB of Nevada or a newly created Marani Spirits, Inc of Nevada can not do anything in the state of California right now. They can't even open up a mailbox account legally in California by statute. Margrit either ignored the law or payed for it personally.And as long as MRIB in Nevada is in default, they cannot apply for certification in California. The fact that MRIB operates intrastate versus interstate makes it even more difficult. So basically MRIB and/or Marani Spirits are out of business until they are current in Nevada. Their chances of certification in California are slim and none. The subterfuge is far too obvious and skipping out on a $300K FTB debt will not be taken well by the commission in California that certifies.
Just an example to put it into layman's terms. A resident of California could run up a tax liability of millions. All they have to do is move to another state and unlike Federal liability, they are clean and protected under new jurisdiction and California can only keep the debt on the books. In that sense, Nevada is safe haven. Any state would be. But MRIB can do nothing in California. If they have a bank account it will be garnished. If they take in any money, it will be garnished. If they attempt to sell in California without certification or pay an employee in the state of California under the guise of a foreign corporation without certification, they will be breaking the law. For all intents and purposes, MRIB is out of business in the state of California.
And I'm going to reiterate something here from yesterday. Incorporating in Nevada, Delaware, Florida, etc. does not provide some tax-free, responsibility free operating haven. If you want to do business in the state of California you must play by their rules. I have four Delaware corporations domiciled in Florida and operating in all fifty states. I must file with the state of California as if I was a California corporation with the only exception being I can apportion my revenue. That makes me interstate. MRIB is intrastate. They are in big trouble...
