It's too fun to think about the original why? and what?! It's probably because I'm re-watching the Sopranos but sounds like a more fun answer than pump and dum

It's too fun to think about the original why? and what?! It's probably because I'm re-watching the Sopranos but sounds like a more fun answer than pump and dump would be a front company. Dirty cash -> sandwich -> corp money -> consulting corp money. In that fantasy would be weird to not report more revenue. Plus added opportunity to flip the corp into a merger like the article says which sounds more likely. Though the SEC probably won't like a takeover with a RICO indictee as owner ;)
