Read the filings (8K, 10Qs, 10Ks, etc) carefully and then research the names of not only individuals but also entities especially that have the words "consulting", "advisors", "investments", "capital", etc. Look at other companies those names appear in and 9 times out of 10 they're usually companies that have floundered, have too much dilution, or have very little substance, in other words loser deals. Sometimes you'll find some decent companies but only because they have distanced themselves from the usual suspects you'll find in these filings. Don't hesitate to call some of the companies that these so called "consultants" claim to represent or claim to be associated with. You'll be surprised how many times you'll hear, from those companies, that these so called consultants are full of sh*t!
