"SNIP......................

The news that former senator and apparently perpetual candidate Scott Brown got $1.3 million in stock to "advise" a peculiar company named Global Digital Solutions is very, very funny.

It was founded as a beauty supply company in New Jersey — selling hair spray, conditioners, and shampoos, before reinventing itself as a wireless data firm from California and then again last year as a South Florida-based firearms maker and gun technology innovator. [...]

Accountants said in interviews that Global Digital’s filings raise a number of warning signs for investors, including its varying business model and lack of actual products. [...]

A reporter who went to the address Friday found the company was not listed on any building directory. A receptionist in the suite listed as the company’s address told a reporter: “They’re not here. It’s by appointment only.”

......................SNIP"

Scott Brown has since resigned.

75 million shares out, and no income last year? If I were Scott I'd sell. If I could find a buyer.

Phil Knight's project for the UO business school was a company that produced nothing, only marketed stuff. You might have heard of it - Nike?

but he's toast in NH. Between Jean Shaheen on the left and old moss-back Bob Smith on the 'traditional' right, I don't see Brown gaining any traction. I hope Americans for Prosperity spend lots of money on a loser.
