If foreign company (Aurus) has Russian division (Krong) it owns all the product (gold) produced and money generated. Of course, Russia has restrictive rules about the ways you can sell gold (only to Russian banks if nothing has changed recently), convert and transfer currency, but anyway - it's yours after you followed the rules and paid taxes. Aurus can use Krong's proceeds to buy equipment, acquire assets or businesses in other countries (like hotel in Spain), etc. This is, of course, if we are talking about real legally operating business. I agree with your "stock market is casino" statement and often use it myself but the level of gamblers attracted to participate is different for different houses. When you buy blue chip at least you have an illusion of ownership. Basically, gambling is paying to the house for hard work of creating illusions... and pinkies don't work too hard - they just "copy & paste" and want to be rewarded for this. BTW, if you know one Pink Sheet stock that actually paid CASH dividend please let me know.

Of course you are correct DOS. The entire game that is Aurus has been that since the start. To pretend it has value to sucker in investors to buy the worthless shares. Yes the shares are worthless, and yes the 'players' thank LONGS for defending and enabling their game...and continue to do so. Sure they may pretend there are assets to sucker in a new batch but after they make their money dumping shares 'poof' the assets disappear, all previous lies get swept under the rug, the shell goes silent until they think enough time has passed to attempt a revival of the interac machine. The problem with Aurus is the pump and dump has been played. This new crew isn't up to the task of faking it again. They are trying the same game, in a much more amateurish way, with an already broken scam. Psst. Don't tell BUDDY though, he still thinks it's real ;-)
