They never tell the truth, well, not the whole truth.

This is likely a shell company. Everything is leased from other independence shell companies (probably controlled by the same backers), so there are few assets. As money comes, it goes out to pay those leases, as well as salaries and bonuses.

So technically, it makes no money. But money is being made. Just not by the outward facing shell.
