Be sure to also check how Mosko uses his own companies as intermediate conduits for paying for some "marketing" and related expenses. Skimming off the "handling fee". It's called self-dealing and is a big no-no.
As ONE example, take a close look at A&N consulting - a biz set-up by the Mosko family and used as a receptacle for SPNG funds.
RME, VAEV, etc. are just some of the many little entities that Mosko et al. have set up to feed themselves at the SPNG trough and siphon munny out of SPNG.

I am bizzy and now the MOD on this board has limited me to ONE post a day, so some of the more motivated posters can follow up on A&N - my recollection is that it appears in several areas I've looked at - in SEC filings, trademark registration, and IIRC also on some check image that has been put in in the public domain also.
Go to work, folks. A&N Enterprises should not be an unturned stone in this melange of self-dealing.
