Precisely. Brinkley has a "heads I win, tails you lose" thing going on here.
If Bellissima becomes a hit, Brinkley will be taking her cut in perpetuity.
If Bellissima fails, Brinkley has invested none of her own money into the product. She will continue to take her cut on the way down.
In the worst case scenario where it is proven that ICNB was subject to an illegal pump-and-dump, Brinkley can state that she was not an officer, director, or significant shareholder. Shoot, her deal isn't even with ICNB, but with Bellissima Spirits, LLC.
