[Kool Aid Man]

I thought Joe Blumenthal isn't supposed to have any dealings involvement running penny stocks ever. So what's he doing meeting with the CEO of one and a prospective acquisition partner? Was he involved in the interview process? Was he advocating for the company and its manager? Was he lobbying you to join them? Was he giving you assurances regarding his financial backing of the company etc?

Seems to me that if one were to combine the actions above in addition to the real or implied financing the penny stock --even if he did so indirectly by instructing his wife Vivian to do it for his benefit-- that might possibly be construed as him functioning as a "control person" of a public company even if done indirectly (i.e. his name not appearing in filings as an officer, director or beneficial shareholder).

Call me crazy but criminals do such things all the time. Hiring or installing a front man to be the face of an operation and manager things doesn't mean the guy(s) in the shadows aren't actively also controlling what goes on.

He was also barred by FINRA in 1998

I notice their company "BLUlife" has appeared in many Vakser ticker disclosures. I seems he installed his wife (Vivian) to act in his place to circumvent his being barred.

Here's a PR from last year. Apparently Joe Blumenthal (aka Reddit user JMBlumenthal) is B.S.ing about building a giant solar powered crypto mining operation in Nevada. https://www.reddit.com/user/JMBlumenthal/comments/nvi8ca/blumenthals_blulife_mountain_energy/

On 5/26/21 he apparently set up an IHub account under a fictitious username and began posting on the AURI board about himself, his wife and their Blulife Mountain Energy scheme. His last post was 4 days later asking how to delete all his posts. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/profile.aspx?user=799647

Here's ole Joe bragging about his big art collection. How come I think he's neck deep in Eddies "art/ NFT/ DraCo token scheme?
