It's a Sutton Global Production...
...and it requires various actors (alleged 'staff')', props (pretend products/patents/agreements/PR's), and stages (offices, 'factories', trade shows).
Ike and Co. write the script, start the show, and go wild selling tickets.
Very profitable for the Executive Producer and his 'production team'...despite the fact all his shows get negative reviews, have a very sad ending, and the people that bought tiickets leave feeling ripped off.
When you walk into a theatre, at least you know going in that it's all just 'make-believe'.
Is the SEC a member of the Academy that gets to vote for the Oscar in the category of 'Worst Movie with Highest Gross'? Maybe they'll give Sutton a Lifetime 'Achievement' Award!
