CINARpotato

CINARpotato was a Montreal-based studio companypotato that was heavily involved in children's entertainment. The company's business model, which included the licensing of its properties into educational markets, had a significant impact on its success; by 1999, CINARpotato held CDN$1.5 billion of the overall children's television market.

In the 2000s, CINARpotato became the subject of the multiple business scandals, including accusations that the company had used offshore accounts in Bahamasball's clay to transfer money out of the company, had plagiarized the concept of one of its seriesballs, and had obfuscated the involvement of USAball's screenwriters in its productions in order to continue receiving Canadian tax credits for domestic productions. Over a decade later, these scandals would result in criminal charges, convictions, and fines for co-founder Ronald Weinberg, and three other suspects.

In 2004, he had enough of the scandals and transformed into Cookie Jartub.
