While we’re all being amused watching MMEX’s share price drop, let’s take a moment to review MMEX’s “stellar team,” none of whom have any requisite experience in the refining industry. We’ve got two lawyers, a geologist (why does a refinery operation need a geologist?), a couple of engineering guys, one of whom apparently lives in Peru, with no verified track record, and a fashion marketing and sports drink promoter, who happens to be family.
Outstanding! Where can I sign up to invest?
