Curious thing about Michael G. Bennett. Or is it Gene M. Bennett?

A number of names resurface from time to time in the PHI universe. One example is Johnny Park. There have been others over the years.

I couldn't help but notice a managing director of 'Philux Capital Advisors' is a dude named Michael G. Bennett.

Read about him here:

Here's a clip from a 10K for the fiscal year ending 6/30/2003. Still the PHI group we know and love, but then called Providential Holdings.
