Well, I have absolutely no reason to doubt it. It looks like they got the i's dotted and the t's crossed before releasing the news this time. The Canadian distributorship deal was also a non-affiliated distributorship called Rocky Mountain High Canada, but in their excitement over the deal, especially so soon after product launch (can't blame them a bit), they announced the deal with the question of remaining funds needed by Drnec's son-in-law still "yet to be confirmed". In other words they didn't expect to see them default on such a huge opportunity. The labeling issue with Canadian regulatory was the responsibility of the non-affiliated Canadian company, just as it would be with a Chinese company. It's up to them to be in compliance with the regulatory agencies within the country they intend to run their business and market product in. Anyhow, it's obvious that the "affluent" investor interest apparently wasn't there for the Canadian company the way it is for the Chinese company. If it had been, it probably would have put a whole new twist on the outcome of the Canadian venture. From the sounds of it, Mrs. Li's business success and experience indicates that the failure of this deal to succeed is highly unlikely. Another way to look at it is that, if for some bizarre reason it didn't work out, it would in no way undo the current marketing/distributing progress being made in the U.S., which is huge and will steer the ship to net profits regardless, though international expansion will have a tremendous impact on how fast we get there, no doubt about it. Long and Strong RMHB!!
