As everyone knows, MMEX-scam is not a legitimate business.
As everyone knows, MMEX-scam is a share-selling scheme, not an O&G sector business.
As everyone knows, MMEX-scam has no business operations, and no employees - as such, there is no payroll to protect, because there are no employees. This is simply another case of skeevie fraudster Mad J. defrauding the federal government.
Anyone can assess the consolidated financials in the recent 10Q, and trace the financial fraud.
