Q. When is a French Fries Vending Machine not a vending machine? A. Er..when it’s an investment fraud perhaps? Pediatricians the world over rejoice. Sigh – or maybe not.
After more than a decade of development, 128 million shares of stock sold and $40 million invested, Tasty Fries Inc. never installed one working french fry vending machine, Vice Chancellor Stephen Lamb said in a Delaware Chancery Court opinion…he refused to order the selling off of Tasty Fries because there was nothing to sell — other than stock — which he said was Tasty Fries’ principal product.
