A similar argument was advanced by MVEE longs because Academy Award winner Martin Landau was on the BOD. Unfortunately, after a stay at .0001, there was a 1:900 R/S, and it became MEMI. Marty and the CEO departed.
The new CEO had been the exec. producer of The Terminator, Hoosiers, Platoon and more. So it had to be legit, right?
Not so fast. MEMI returned to .0001 and has recently had its registration revoked.
The (Name Your Has Been of Choice) would never be a part of something unsavory argument is a flawed one.
