I do think that things are better in both OTC BB and pinkie worlds because of the things you mention. That's why I object so often to the blanket statements that all microcaps are scams that my friends the bashers (term used with love) often claim is the case.
There are more promoters that work with greedy managements. But I've met and spoken with a lot of honorable CEO's who want to avoid the greed that promoters try to harness.
As far as SLJB goes, if they come through with the Audited Financials, they will be in the rarified air here in pinkie land. That's why there is so much interest in this company.
