If they had really been trying to hide what they were doing, they could have just put some small obscure Chinese company in there, with a bogus forward looking business statement......and no one would have ever given this another thought.
The deli was at least a real and verifiable business, located in the US, that's more than most of these shells and shell types do.....that are really just RM vehicles...... they are usually some tiny mystery business in Asia or Eastern Europe selling t-shirts or some other BS.
I just think given the massive amount of manipulation that occurs in penny stocks in general, market makers, stock promoters, traders, social media pumper groups, toxic convertible lenders, etc.....that what they did apparently did was pretty minor in the bigger scheme of things.
What about the scam companies that enter into to deals with toxic convertible lenders, then dump millions upon millions of shares into the market, those are the folks that need prosecuted.
