Yes it does ... when different parties are involved .. all must be involved as not to pr something that may misrepresent each of the parties vested. A PR that is including an atty is important because if the wrong thing is said about a party involved with their scope in the venture someone could get sued. If this is a scam then you can write something and put it out to pump
