The COLA approved label is for pumping purposes only - there isn't a fee - it is similar to a Trademark.
I remember when OTCM novice investors are were giddy about the Rico Suave trademark.
How many times has GRCU been pumped over the years - we know that the SEC is watching the GRCU shell very closely.
In the SEC complaint - "On October 5, 2015, Ross hired an individual (the “GRCU CEO”) who had 29 years of beverage industry experience. The GRCU CEO also became a principal of InStep Holdings."
That person was Joe Tragesser - and you say that was 4 years ago - but Tragesser is still involved with GRCU and is still the Ross puppet.
So just saying the slate is clean certainly isn't factual - GRCU is the same share selling scheme it has always been.
