The Seattle Weekly article all about the company China 8 Blue Flavor did work for a while back. One of the founders of the project, Paul Willms, has quite the business history. My favorite though is this gem: “Willms had sent out a letter to thousands of Mennonites in the U.S. and Canada, asking them to invest in a scheme to win back, and redevelop, roughly 500,000 acres of formerly Mennonite land, now within the borders of the Ukraine, that had been seized by the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution of 1917.” We still haven’t been paid.
