"A figment of of the Trustee's imagination?"
No, just fictitious.
"He referenced Adeel by name and confirmed they were in talks in the court filing."
Someone calling himself "Adeel" contacted him. Fake names happen all the time with pink sheet scams, Supatcha being one of the most notorious.
People don't just pop into existence with no prior employment history, no prior record of them on any database like Edgar or Companies House, no LinkedIn history, no nothing.
But these guys did:
"Adeel Ahmed-Daudpota" and "Devin J. Shaw"
It's one of the many sure signs that this is a scam, pure and simple.
