David Batchelder and Ralph Whitworth are a couple of fat cat wannabees. Their success lies in constantly attacting a new crop of starry eyed investors to join their ranks. Neither can point to anything positive that has come from their direct involvement in any public company that they have been associated with, other than the increased consumption of paper and stamps.If your review their holdings and partnerships, it has all of the earmarks of a classic Pnzi scheme.
