HOPE STOCKS

[janice shell]

I agree with you that the first contract--the one dated 1 September 2010--was real, and that in return for the stock, Sully was supposed to tout Monkinars in particular, and Monk's Den in general. But I'm sure Bryant was in on it too: don't forget that that was just before EIGH announced it had acquired Monk's Den.

I'm less sure what to make of the second contract. Bryant did announce that Sully would be doing an "awareness campaign" (what a sickening term) for EIGH, and he announced it this past July. Sully confirmed that he'd been hired, and evidently also agreed to pretend that he'd never got any stock in September 2010.

Since all that good stuff went off to the regulators quickly, I imagine that Sully will be answering questions about it, if those questions haven't been asked already.
