“They’re trying to create jobs, ultimately they’ll come up with a plan to do so.”

Trying to create jobs. Yeah. My guess is any jobs are incidental to the money and probably wouldn’t be good jobs. This outfit sounds like some greedy crooks.

Cheap grifter indeed. He will never again hold any elective office, and he knows it.

Scott purchased his carpet bag from them. It came with a million dollar cash-back offer.

Sounds like this company was positioning itself to be an expensive middleman on morally questionable arms deals. A Senator Brown as an ally could be very effective for misappropriating funds. Get the money out in advance and it’s hard to prove that it’s a bribe, but we all know what this is about.

This is what’s called a “slush fund”. The business was created solely for the purpose of giving Scott Brown $1.3 Million, without anyone being able to find out what unsavory characters the money came from.

Um, I believe that most other startups have, well, something that they’re trying to do or sell before they actually form a company to do so. Not that I’d expect an awareness of how a real business works from an ex-republican senator.

Evidently, being a FORMER Republican Senator from Mass can earn you millions a year, between Fox News and whatever else you can find.

That man is the ultimate grifter. He and Sarah Palin, the poster boy and girl for political grifters.

“a leader in providing small arms manufacturing, complementary security and technology solutions and knowledge-based, cyber-related, culturally attuned social consulting in unsettled areas.”

Plus they sell a nice mascara…

“They’re trying to create jobs.”

Over and above the fact that they do seem to have succeeded in creating one very nice job, what on earth would it mean for that to be true?!

I’m about as pro-labor a hippie as they come, and I’d run screaming–as an investor or an employee–from any for-profit company that tried to create jobs merely for the sake of creating jobs.

The sad thing is that if Brown weren’t so uniquely devoid of either job skills or respect from the political class, this never would have been necessary in the first place.

Brown has a law degree. There are approximately six million law firms and lobby shops within ten miles of his residence (the Boston one, I mean). If anyone–and I’m talking about actual Republicans here–gave a damn about what he thought on anything, he could have parked himself on someone’s letterhead as a partner to the tune of $1M/year just so they could say, “Hey, check it out, our firm is seriously connected.” But no one wants Scott Brown’s connections, because they end with him.

So instead, he has to take bribes that you can’t even pretend aren’t bribes. (There was probably a better way to do that, too, but if he were competent, more people would respect him in the first place, and it wouldn’t be necessary.)

securities fraud ?
oh yes, this was a Ponzi-scheme-like endeavor.
no doubt they would have been saying things like “we will buy under performing assets, combine them with synergistically related entities and optimize shareholder’s return on equity… blah… blah …”

Scott probably fits right into the “fraud” part …

HOW TRUE - genuine former United States Senator - Lawyer - Ex Military - capable of appearing to be “professional” (at least in photo ops) - if he had an ounce of common sense & decorum - he could make a fortune simply having lunch & dinner and networking for & with clients.
But you are right - in person he must be one gawd-awful insufferable dolt - with a rancid reputation like Limburger cheese.

A person at the globe provided a very eloquent comment.

How utterly shocking that our very own Scooter McBarncoat - lighter than air, the emptiest of empty suits, purveyor of vacuous, pre-canned, substance-free sound bites and essentially nothing else - would wind up with his wa-wa caught and clipped in a financially incomprehensible three-card monte scheme involving an empty corporate shell with no products, no assets, no customers, no capital, no patents, no . . . NOTHING.
