I dont think I understand what you are saying. as far as the race car association with the company, must have been before i got here. as far as why any company would associate themselves with race cars, I guess you should ask Nextel, ATT and the hundreds of company sponsors for Nascar racing.
"I remember when that race car deal went down and I wondered how in the world (and why) Globetel could have/would have ever hooked up with them. I didn't see one single advantage in the relationship but there it was."
So you knew they were a "scam" assistant company and you think Globetel didn't ???? Please dude.
I've got a better analogy, Let's say for example that you owned a company. In the course of its existence (not "business" as you say : see my earlier post http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=29573441) you were looking for a company that 'washed' shares so you could milk millions from investors to stick in your pocket. A quick look or phone call and voila' you've found them. Now it comes to light that this company you dealt with has finally been caught. what do you do ? deny deny deny. Of course you'd be considered as being part of the scheme because YOU WERE PART OF THE SCHEME. The doubt you speak of is a matter of conviction but the simplest answer is usually the factual answer.
In other words guilt by association. If they engaged a consultant that had perpetrated a crime then surely they are using that consultant to commit a crime? Let's stick with what was actually charged to GlobeTel executives, that's enough isn't it?
