Tingo Inc (TMNA)

[janice shell]

Something mildly interesting:

Back in September 2021, Leslie Greyling's longtime associate Alex Lightman was a "related person" of Tingo, Inc (TMNA):

He seems subsequently to have ended his affiliation with the company, but it would be nice to know more. I have to do something else right now, but I'll take a further look over the weekend. But for now, there's also this:

IWBB and TMNA are the same company. I wonder if Lightman had something to do with the change in control that brought Dozy to the table. But here we go:

Effective August 16, 2021, the Board appointed Mr. Dozy Mmbouosi, Mr. Christopher Cleverly, Dakshesh Patel, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, Mr. Onyekachi Onubogu, Mr. Derrick Randall, Ms. Leslie Kasumba and Mr. Alex Lightman as members of our Board of Directors.

And get a load of this astonishing bullshit:

Alex Lightman, age 59, is an award winning writer, entrepreneur, inventor, and advisor to governments and crypto projects. Mr. Lightman is a graduate of MIT Course I-A (Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering) and attended graduate school at MIT’s Sloan School and Harvard’s Kennedy School and Lund University in Sweden. Mr. Lightman was the recipient of the first Economist magazine Reader’s Award for “the innovation that will most radically change the world in the 2010s” on behalf of 4G wireless broadband. He also won the SGI VRML contest out of 800 entries, a best avatar contest, and a Johnson Foundation award as one of the USA’s ten most innovative educators. Mr. Lightman is founder and chairman of Keemoji, developer of mobile phone software to protect privacy and security that has signed over 100 B2B customers, founder and CEO of KeePay, developers of a platform for payments, tokens, and NFTs and an advisor to and developer of PKT.cash, a fork of Bitcoin that aims to help users monetize bandwith just as Uber helps monetize cars and AirBnB monetizes spare rooms. He is the leader of the team that created the PKT.cash route server (that is designed to allow almost anyone to create a virtual Internet Service Provider), the cjdns Wireguard, and Token Strike, which will allow creation of tokens, NFTs, and payment systems for KeePay and other users who want low-cost fast transactions. Mr. Lightman has been an advisor to dozens of crypto projects and authored 20 crypto white papers. He delivered over 50 crypto keynotes in dozens of countries and published 40+ articles on crypto. Most recently, he was one of two keynotes at AIBC in Dubai, May 26, 2021, the first big global crypto event since COVID19. The Board believes Mr. Lightman’s experience and knowledge will benefit the Company and make him a valuable member of the Board.

And then he was gone:

On March 7, 2022, Alex Lightman resigned from his service on the registrant’s Board of Directors. Mr. Lightman had been appointed to the Board on August 16, 2021.

Both Lightman and Leslie Grayling appear in this filing for Alterola Biotech:
