You really don't know what you are talking about. Briner didn't lose money. He really has you fooled. He structured the illegal deal and had registration rights. The deals were done with phony legal opinions written by his best buddy McGeary. He even placed some of the stock in his own name.
Go get some better legal advice. Briner's is going to get you in a lot of trouble.
We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth... For my part, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst; and to provide for it. --Patrick Henry, Patriot and Hero of the American Revolution
