Yesterday we wrote about the strange case of CYNK Technology.
The company's stock gained nearly 25,000% in 16 trading days, giving it a market cap of over $5 billion. But, as we noted, it's not clear if the company really exists, as financial statements indicate that it has no revenue, assets, or full-time employees.
But there is a website, IntroBiz.com, that the company operates, not that this makes the picture much clearer.
CYNK Technology appears to operate the website IntroBiz.com, a social network (the site calls it a "social marketplace"), where users pay to be introduced to business professionals or celebrities. Or at least, this is what it seems like the site does.

Here's what you find under the "entertainment" tab on IntroBiz.

Chances seem low that you'd be able to get connected with Emma Watson, or Charlize Theron, or Leonardo DiCaprio for $50, via IntroBiz or otherwise.
The ability to connect with these celebrities is marketed by artistblackbook, one of two "top socialites" on IntroBiz.com.

artistblackbook and worldtalent appear to be the only two "socialites" on IntroBiz. But the numbers don't make a ton of sense.
We're not exactly sure what the difference between an "introduction" and a "sale" is, but since the company hasn't reported any revenue apparently neither makes the company any money .
But neither artistblackbook nor worldtalent has any followers.

Under the "business professionals" tab, you can buy connections to professionals in different areas, like consulting, motivational speaking, and fitness.

And the individual pages for some of these people are quite interesting.
"Harvey Bird: The Fitness Guru," for example, says to prospective customers: "I am experienced in sculpting the body."
Harvey Bird's offer, which seems basically like some health and fitness consulting (though only a diet plan, not a fitness one, is marketed) also has a great deal for members who pay from their IntroBiz account: $5 off a $1,500 offer.

The most expensive service on the site appears to be storytelling.
For $5000, John Sterd offers to help clients tell their "story" (quotes his) and "engage people."
This package has apparently been purchase 23 times, and after 11 votes has a five-star rating. It is also a worldtalent product.

As of 10:30 a.m. ET, shares of CYNK Technology were trading at nearly $16, up nearly 8% from yesterday.
It remains to be seen how the stock story — which at this point is certainly divorced from any business plans the company has — plays out.
