Green Times isn't some new company Halo ran out and hired during the pandemic - they've been Halo consultants for nearly 3 years.
Someone who did thorough DD before buying the stock shouldn't be surprised to find out the company is paying contractors to perform services for them.
I'd be surprised if they didn't!
They also shouldn't be surprised to find out that Green Times also consults for other companies and are sometimes paid with shares.
Once again you're blissfully unaware about what's really happening at Halo.
If you owned another stock I'd ask if you are aware of all the providers doing work for it, but since July you've only posted here, for a stock you don't own.
I'd bet almost no investors are aware all the contractors doing work for Apple, Tesla, Home Depot, Walt Disney Co, Walmart, or any other large company and most small public ones.
They buy the company stock and shouldn't be surprised or upset when they learn the company is paying outside vendors, whether done with cash or shares.
