The shares of Duke and Vanderbilt, among the biggest stakes in Hometown International, were acquired in the past year as part of what financial filings indicate is an effort to use Hometown International as well as a shell company called E-Waste as vehicles for private companies to become publicly traded on U.S. stock markets through either reverse mergers or similar maneuvers.
It is not clear whether Duke and Vanderbilt are among the would-be buyers of shares in E-Waste, which last week announced it was offering to sell stock for $2.5 million. E-Waste, which is tied to people connected to Hometown, and which has borrowed money from the deli owner, has no ongoing business, but despite that has a market capitalization of more than $100 million.

Good Thursday morning!
It just got harder for the Democrats who control Bergen and Hudson counties to hold onto their ICE contracts at local jails.
Essex County announced yesterday that now that it has an agreement with Union County to house its inmates, it’s going to end its contract with the federal immigration enforcement agency. The last ICE inmates will leave by the end of August.
The termination agreement was signed by Morina and Peter L. Coker, a Tryon partner and the father of Hometown s chairman, Peter L. Coker Jr.
Hometown, which last year had its status questioned by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, drew widespread publicity earlier this month after a skeptical assessment by a hedge fund operator.
David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital noted Hometown had 2020 revenue of just $14,000 from its Mantua Avenue deli, but an eye-popping stock value of bout $100 million. The pastrami must be amazing, David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital reportedly said in a quarterly letter to investors.
Morina, who could not be reached Monday, has not commented on the published reports.
