Chinese companies have probably contributed most to this mistrust. Look at ZHUD as an example. Thru 9/20 they showed high growth, decent profit margins,and cutting edge product line. After missing the next quarter financial, they seemed to go completely dark and nomore answering investor questions.
I ended up paying a Chinese freelancer to look into them FROM China. THERE..he was able to to find court document showing 5 lawsuits and multiple judgements against the CEO Personally. Best $100 bucks I spent!!!! (I offered my proof to anybody that wanted it. most chose to ignore or even sow seeds that the info was fabricated to "get there shares")
Unfortunately, this is not the exception. It was impossible to find his info from resources in the U.S.
As I have said before, their recent focus on large OVERSEAS building projects, makes many here nervous(warranted or not) Even if Epiphany was a small percentage of their revenue producers...being HERE, VISABLE, VISITABLE...would make many investors here feel more connected to the company with VISABLE PROOF of being successful.
I hope they get this aspect operating sooner than later!!!
