What is the source of your information? I know penny stock promoting companies like pennystockchaser.com have been prosecuted for doing exactly what you describe. I'm not sure that this company is like that at all.
There is an oil permit from 3rd party source. ZLUS mentioned the drilling date 2weeks before it was updated on the permit card in line with their PR announcement of it. ZLUS communicated with a person who actually do own a lot of oil wells in KY. I did DD on them. 3rd party sources. And no, it's not from random stock sites. It did shows their connection with ZLUS before this whole mess. No clue what happen ever since. They own those oil properties since 1990.
I actually wish Ault was still around just because he actually communicate.
