APRU doesn't disclose its executive compensation. And even if it did, Jason Atwell isn't listed as an executive as of the latest filings.

Jason Atwell DID earn 49 million shares in 2019, at a price of 0.0010/share for "services".

At the time he was granted those shares, the price of APRU was 10x higher than what his "services" were valued at. i.e. his shares were worth $500k for what was supposedly $50k worth of work.

So you are presupposing:

a) Jason is "very wealthy" from an objective perspective. Some people think having a million dollars is "very wealthy". Others think that's pocket change.

b) $500k is considered "peanuts". Most people would work several years happily for $500k

c) Jason is ONLY being compensated in shares. You could be right, but we might never know unless Tony decides to stop being secretive about APRU's important deals, including executive compensation.

d) Wealthy people never make mistakes. It's really common in OTC stocks for people to get lazy, skip doing their research, because they assume some person with a fancy webpage or associated with a reputable company is infallible.

e) Jason is "skilled". Jason has a colorful professional history, and he may indeed be a COO wizard, but without demonstrably exceptional results at other companies or public peer recognition, how could anyone outside his professional sphere know for sure his skill?

f) Jason wants to be CEO. That would require him to replace Tony. But aren't most investors saying how Tony is doing an amazing job? Why would they want to replace Tony?

So when you say "investors have to consider..." ... it's impossible for them to consider what you are saying without verifiable facts out there.

What investors have to also consider is that Jason is a very wealthy individual who is not getting paid in anything other than shares. Why would a skilled wealthy person bother with something that he could maybe flip for peanuts?

For your other question:

Shady promoters promise to uplist ALL THE TIME because it's a way to sell more shares.

It's not limited to OTC (e.g., a lot of venture exchange companies promise to uplist to Nasdaq) but it's usually the same playbook

1. Share is priced below uplist requirement
2. Executive promises uplisting is coming
3. Gullible investors believe it "because why would CEO lie?"
4. Gullible investors believe some kind of magic will levitate the stock price up to uplist requirements
5. Gullible investors buy a bunch of shares hoping for easy money

Promising to uplist is just like promising to increase sales 1000%. Ya, it's great if it happens, but easier said than done.

I don't see why he would suggest OTCQB if he wasn't intending to actually do it! Tony always seems to follow through even if it takes longer than expected.

There's always been pointing to anything not crossed off the to-do list and crying that Tony is a crook. It started with the stop sign years ago and never stopped. There were claims that the product wasn't even real once, or that Rowdy Brands is just a front for Tony to steal money. APRU just keeps chugging along. Hopefully Tony will address if they're still on track for the audit Monday. Thanks for sending him the question.
