Longwei Petroleum (fka LPIH)

[big-yank]

I really can't say, but there is nothing improper about it. It is not that much different from any number of CFO's that sit on multiple boards and have multi-tasked responsibilities. As one example, Walgreens CFO sits on the board of Acadia Healthcare and no one cries foul, as just one example, off the top.

When LPH got whacked as you recall, most all the Chinese microcap stocks took a huge hit at the same time. The paranoia over bogus metrics maybe peaked with the Puda and a few other debacles... just prior to the GEO diatribe... but if you look at the skyline in the business district in Shanghai, Beijing or Hong Kong you just cannot convince me that all those companies and all that conspicuous employed capital is nothing but a huge fraud and scam.

That said, I am going out for some Chinese food and a fortune cookie. If it's relevant, I'll report back later!
