      First United American Companies sounds like a totally legit company. What are you talking about?

        Maybe its owned by AEJ Holdings, a real company that could be owned by anyone.

      Wasn’t that company owned by his parents or something? I think John Oliver or somebody did a story on all the shell companies he’s been embezzling money into to scam the sandy hook victims.

        Surely, bankruptcy courts must be familiar with the tactic of “using shell companies to buy your own stuff back at bankruptcy auction for pennies on the dollar.”

        Owned by his dad and setup so that Jones could just step in and keep operating it

        They went over this in the latest knowledge fight and it appears to be owned by one Chase Brandon Geiser, an employee of Alex’s.

              “Brendan put down the camera and I’m kick the ball-onet burger,” a bother with a slice of Baloney and Dijon mustard… Is what I WOULD be eating if you DIDN’T FILL THE FRIDGE WITH YOUR PROTEIN DRINKS CYRIL.
