    This doesn’t seem like something private organizations should be allowed to do.

    Another scam.

    1. Found a company
    2. Attract investors
    3. Give yourself a nice salary as CEO
    4. Keep going until the company folds or some moron buys it
    5. Thank everyone for believing in your vision
    6. Start over.

    Your company went nowhere but you got paid for all your hard work.
    I don’t know if this is how it works but it is how imagine it.

      “The new satellite had to go through FCC approval because of the radio spectrum it operates on…”
