Buddy, take the blind fold away for a moment and answer this. Why would REDG need to go through Benny's company to access another company in China to get printing services? Why not just allow REDG to pay the Chinese company for its services with all of the money from the toxic debt? If you or Benny can provide a legitimate reason then go for it. I see no other reason than to be able to conceal skimming off money in the process. There is no need to compare prices because Benny will not release personal and business financial information that would show that he is paying less for the services than what he is charging back to REDG. Also, where can you find a publicly available, detailed expense report that would show all of the transactions with Active Media? Good luck but you will probably need a subpoena.
The answer to your "how else were they to pay" question is not hard. How do other entrepreneurs and startups raise money when they do not have the option of selling shares that can be disposed of in the stock market. They come up with a business plan that is realistic and can be presented to possible sources of funds. If the plan is perceived as unrealistic then naturally this will severely limit these possible sources, and this could likely be a reason why REDG went public. You also risk your own capital if you really believe in the plan. They have signed up strategic partnerships, which is great, but none of them have opened their wallets other than to put money in.
You claim non sequitur but incorrectly. Where is the disconnect between the premises and the conclusion? There isn't one. The conclusion clearly followed from the information presented and not from some other observation. I'll be the first to tell you that I may be wrong, but the evidence is to the contrary.
