Professional pool player Rocky Lane, the all-time Fastest American Pool Speed Jump Shooter in the world, has been signed by OTEX World Corporation.

OTEX World Corporation has been red-flagged by the SFC as an unlicensed entity operating in the country.

NBR court Reporter Hamish McNicol talked to Wilfred Royce "Rocky" Lane this week, who was more than happy to share his history with NBR.
