This is such a common theme with stinky pinkies, it's sad that anyone falls for them. It's no wonder "Nigerian princes" do so well.
Every pump and dump CEO is a "brilliant manager" with an "incredible resume" who the shareholders are "lucky to have".
Applying these claims to people outside the U.S. is even easier.
A mining play, run by unknowns plus at least 1 known stock scammer, in a foreign country, valued at a multiple of 10 or more times the price paid for claims patched together with their value assured by a dentist in the U.S.
What could go wrong? ;-);-)
And don't get me started on what lawyer would intentionally bring on a known stock scam artist to run his public company?
