"So... Why would Lazar bother with custodianship? " because that is ALL he does... and he is very good at it i have been investing in the OTC for 20 yrs, its a miracle i have lasted this long with all the slime infested ceos and there highly dilutive stocks... AT LEAST, with lazar & during the custodianship process, i know i am dealing with a temporary ceo who GETS THE WORK DONE... yes, some r/m take longer than others, but im willing to wait because people love buying into potential big r/m plays and as long as that stays that way... i'm just playing lazar stocks. im tired of crappy otc stocks.
