Companies that Russ Whitney is or may have been affiliated with by John T. Reed 1

In the course of researching Russ Whitney to defend myself against his lawsuit, I have come across many companies that he seems to be affiliated with in some way. I would appreciate any help readers could give me in firming up and fleshing out the details of these affiliations. Items that are in red are things I would like readers to help me learn.

Oddly, they pronounce this “Equity Core.” The French word “corps,” which has a different meaning from corp., is pronounced that way, but “corp.” is pronounced corp or corporation. Dumb.
