rookytrader - not sure if this will help in your discussions or not:
The history/direct link between Kidd and Franklin is not readily apparent to me. However the following may help you connect the dots:
Franklin has a clear history with SEC suspended EVSO, GSLO, and ONYX via Optimum Solar.
The common link between Kidd and Franklin may lie with Andrew Farmer as he has a clear history with EHSI and DOMK via Infinite Funding and Iridium Capital.
EHSI is clearly linked to EVSO, GSLO, ONYX and a number of other pink companies via Kathleen Delaney, Maurice Stone, Eddie Austin, JT Cloud, Robert Federowicz, et. al, which brings you back to Michael Franklin.
Regarding Kidd and JBII, I don't know much about it. I am sure others here are much more knowledgeable about that history.
