He learned about penny stocks a couple years ago. One of the stocks that was pushed by the current promoters, pal, boss? Touted one of the JBII CEOs inventions (bomb sniffer, IIRC) to dump shares and he found out about it and came and said they were lying. He figured out there was a lot of money in the stock business. I have all the posts from the now defunct board by him talking about it.
