yup, he purchased it years ago. and he didnt pay for it. settled a lawsuit for nonpayment by giving almost $500k in stock for a piece he never used and is now selling for 50k
also, he did have management. he brought it some guy who was a punk band promoter from boston/portland maine. gave him a ton of stock which diluted everybody. then he sold the farm...literally sold the farm to this guy, the farm in union maine which i visited. it had zero crops on it last year.
but my all time favorite on this is when sal sent out a press release telling everyone they were in full production at augusta facility. i went over there and there was an electrician doing some wiring. the electrician left the bay door open, so i snuck up to the door and whipped out my cell and videoed an empty building with no equipment, no supplies, no employees, no nothing. it was a complete lie. HE LIED TO THE PUBLIC AND SHAREHOLDERS. that should have been enough for class action lawsuit on scumbag. what does sal do? he calls the cops and gets a no trespassing order issued on me. oh...he then re issued his press release with no mention of "full production."
he's a real winner
