Remember the Forbes article?

There are several former names of this company. One of them is AMERIDREAMS ENTERTAINMENT. Here is a segment of an article in FORBES about that:

Just as in Hollywood, not everything meets the eye when it comes to this company. AmeriDream's little office in Bermuda Dunes has been, or still is, the address for 14 other public and private companies, going by such names as Specialized Leasing, Herbalist and Cyber Vitamin. Behind the scenes is a small group of stock promoters and one very prolific Santa Barbara attorney, Kenneth Eade, who have put together companies that typically float in the nether regions of the over-the-counter Bulletin Board system. In 1998 one of the promoters, Russell (Skip) Nordstrom, of something called National Investors Council, was slapped by the Securities & Exchange Commission with a cease-and-desist order for failing to disclose that he was receiving payments from companies to issue glowing research reports. Nordstrom consented to the order without admitting or denying guilt. He was recently the head of investor relations of AmeriDream.

Elliott came into this bunch when Eade--whose Russian wife dabbles in Hollywood and will be acting, if you can call it that, in Conway's latest Dorf flick--brought him into an outfit called McSmoothies, which was supposed to develop a chain of stores selling fruit shakes. But without whipping up a single smoothie, the shell company morphed into AmeriDream by June.
