Marani Brands Inc. (MRIB)

and Marani is out of business.

Yes, and all MRIB investments are lost. I'm glad to see you acknowledge that finally. Thank you Gold. Perhaps Margrit could find someone to buy the MRIB public shell. I certainly doubt with all the documentation on MRIB 2.0 that she could possibly pull off a 3.0 version. Not with vodka, that's for sure. That would be to blatant. Too brazen. Maybe a cure for AIDS or Ebola.

But I have to admit, whoever was running MRIB, and I know it wasn't Margrit, pulled off quite a heist. They took a public shell, warehouse of left over five year old vodka, sold a couple of cases, paid a bunch of ghost companies phony expenses to make it look like a business, bought a container of cheap contract distilled hooch at probably 10% of recorded cost with the rest going to the ghost company and then sold millions in stock via discounted cash loans skirting usury laws with stock. Seems so simple. They haven't even cracked the container they bought. They still have 75% of the 2009 inventory left. Total sales since 2009 are all of $25,000 according to the books and they had $100K on hand when they started. Pretty good scam.
