Both Emily and Daraius seem to have made enough money from the transaction that they don't work anymore. Their Linkedin profiles are still maintained though: https://www.linkedin.com/search/resu...Mile%20Secrets

Was MMS ever part of BoardingArea.com? Don’t recall it being so.

What happened to Daraius D of MMS? Post-separation of him from his then girlfriend/wife, perhaps MMS would not have fallen when and how it did if MMS were part of BoardingArea.com. Seems like it’s in zombie mode waiting for a commercial resurrection effort by anyone willing to pay up to take it over.

People too often think that having more money to play with and to acquire others means the party with more and on the acquisition side is the smarter business player and smarter with money. I would say often they are just better at putting OPM at greater risk to line their own management’s pockets and boost their own resumes for the next job — all while being more likely to ultimately leave behind a trail of devastation where the abandoned haunt on as ghosts and zombies for quite some time before they too get buried.

When capital is cheap and markets buoyant, it’s easier to look a business genius at OPM expense. RV with MMS is a window into this dynamic.
