This is directly contradicted by the accountant's disclaimer in the compiled financial report -- where he expressly denies reviewing, vetting, authenticating, approving any of the financial information handed him by Hillard Herzog -- all LL Bradford did was blindly format the numbers into financial statement format. That's why it's a compilation.
The company works hard to fool people that the accountant's work product is validation.
Why work so hard -- if the money was real -- just flash it around a bit . It's not difficult to show investors you actually have money. A full page ad in Wall Street Journal congratulating HH on his 84th birthday would do the trick.
How about instead of $10/month UPS mail drop, the company lease office space in prestigious Las Vegas/London/NY buildings with modern expenses furniture and leggy head turning receptionists -- commensurate with it's status as leading investment manager. That would do the trick for me.
