ChinaWorx, with BLDV, please let me explain…

Before anyone read any further… No I am not an Insider. No I am not a paid pumper or promoter. No I was not hired by the company or anyone affiliated with the company. I am nothing more than a shareholder for years that decided to be ”proactive” instead of ”reactive” with trying to come up with a positive resolution to save us BLDV shareholders. I’m still holding my shares that I bought years ago. I’m not going to say that I have as much as you have indicated, but I think I have enough to not have felt the need to add since years ago.

Years ago I spoke to the old CEO of BLDV, John Quincey Moaning. I was curious to know where all of the volume was coming from a few years back after thinking that this was a low float stock. He would never tell me. Then finally after another couple of years had gone by or so and the company was just sitting there with the Caveat Emptor sign within OTC Markets, I reached out to Quincey again and this time I told him that I am still a shareholder of BLDV and that the company had not filed anything since 2002 which was quite a few years ago. I told him that apparently since he is not aware of how that is frowned upon today, if he didn’t do something possibly soon, then shareholders would be at a lost. I told him that the SEC would suspend them and send the company to the grey sheets which ”usually” means doom.

I knew that I still had friends that were also still holding shares of BLDV that bought because of the confidence I had in the company in the past. I told him that I get friends that call me sometimes asking… either if I knew of anyone with a public entity to put their operations in… or friends that know of a public entity that was looking for an operations to have come into it. Either way, I asked Quincey that if I get a call from anyone looking for a public entity, would he at least consider giving over the BLDV entity/company since apparently he was not going to do anything with it. He told me that he had been done wrong by a finance/funding company by the name of TJ Management in the past that he trusted and that if the person or people wanting to take over BLDV was real and legit, he would let them have it for a very small price.

So then I asked him… What happened to get the company in such a horrible state? I asked him this because I knew that the share structure was unknown at such time, but I remember seeing a few hundred million in volume at one time in the past so I knew that some kind of dumping had transpired to where the Outstanding Shares (OS) was a number far higher than what I had originally thought. This is when he told me that he was screwed by a group called TJ Management. He said that when he entered into an agreement with them, he issued them shares per the agreement and they were supposed to have financed his ventures that he had on the table to move forward with. He fed them shares… they simply dumped a bunch of shares… and he never got the money from them as promised.

Something later happened with TJ Management getting in trouble with the SEC with dealing with another company. The SEC investigated every company that TJ Management was involved with and froze TJ Management from ever being able to deposit any shares that they were holding of any company to include a bunch of BLDV shares they had in cert form trying to get deposited. I never learned the exact amount, but I knew that it was a lot. This is why when you call the BLDV Transfer Agent (TA) today, they will tell you that BLDV has 3,750,585,689 shares of BLDV are still in cert form as explained below:

Again, I’m not sure how many of those shares that are still in certificate form are from TJ Management, but from my understanding, they have a good chunk of those shares that will never be able to get deposited. Per the TA, those shares must be classified as Free Trading (Float) Shares. From my understanding, TJ Management was successful in dumping ”some” BLDV shares that Quincey gave them before, but there is a huge chunk that will never get deposited to be dumped because of TJ Management getting in trouble with the SEC.

I don’t exactly recall who, but either Quincey, Ken, and/or Cleve had spoken to some people at the SEC in trying to get those shares back to cancel or retire back to the Treasury, but the SEC said no. So, those shares can’t and will not be allowed to be deposited which is a good thing, but they also will not be allowed to be canceled or retired for now. I do know that the company is still trying to see what they can do to get those shares cancelled or retired. Because of the shares being unrestricted, they have to count towards the Free Trading (Float) numbers to actually exist on paper, but they don’t exist for being a part of the ”actual” Float numbers for the shares that are existing in ”actual” circulation within the market. This means that the public cannot buy them. They are just there… existing. This had taken place years ago sometime in the area of 2002 I believe give or take or year or two. I never asked for the exact dates of such.

In the meantime, now we move forward to 2015. A good friend of mine name Kenneth (Ken) Teknus called me. He asked me if I knew anyone that had a public entity available because he decided that he wanted to move forward with his vision of projects and ideas within the marijuana industry. I called Quincey and told him that this is a chance to save BLDV shareholders. Ken said that he would not want to be the CEO of the company, but that he would like to act as a Consultant to help the company grow. He said that he had two guys in mind as possible candidates to be the CEO of BLDV; these two people were Thomas (Tom) J. Parilla or Cleve Tsai. Ken said that he would pay the fees to the Secretary of State, the Transfer Agent (TA), OTC Markets, and any other fees that would be required to get BLDV current. He said that he would not take any payment in shares or cash for being a consultant and that he would buy some shares out of the open market after the company release news so that he would never be viewed as frontloading or part of any kind of suspect trading. He said that he would rather buy shares like every other shareholder in the open market. He told me that he bought shares of BLDV on the day of the merger news and has not sold a single share as of yet. He told me that he does not plan on selling anything until way after he helps the company mature to significant levels. When all was said and done, Ken was out of $40,735 to include some of the money going towards paying for the BLDV entity. I think the bulk of the money went to paying the Transfer Agent (TA) and the Secretary of State.

Ken was over a Public Relations (PR) company called Sterling Capitol; no relation to me. When I met Ken years ago, he already had Sterling Capitol and it was just coincidence that his company had my first name (Sterling). As one can see, I think the company has been dissolved as indicated below:

Ken was the PR person for FRTD which had moved from a low in Feb 2014 of .0009 per share to a high of .0784 per share in April 2014 which the price movement can be confirmed below:

The CEO of FRTD was Tom Parilla. Later, after people learned that Ken and I were friends, some thought that I was part of Sterling Capitol because I was a shareholder of FRTD and because of my name. I was never a part of either company. I guess if anyone wanted further proof of such, they can see that my name was never placed on their list of Directors or Managing Members List for either of the two companies below:

As the PR person for FRTD, all Ken did was answer phones for FRTD. However, at some point later, he started bringing ideas and projects to the table for FRTD to consider. Ken thought Tom was interested in listening to his ideas of projects to bring into FRTD, but nothing never materialized from such. Ken and Tom started not seeing things eye to eye and Ken told me that Tom was putting his projects on hold to consider to move forward with some kind of bank cards or debt cards venture dealing with this guy name Michael Osborn. Ken had stopped working as the PR guy for FRTD way before it topped its high for share price and simply moved on. When Ken saw that Tom and Mike had their own plans for moving forward with FRTD, he simply departed from trying to help FRTD to move on.

Later in 2015, Ken told me that he felt that his projects and vision that he originally had in mind could really help people and help shareholders of a company if he had a chance to place his visions into a public entity. He asked if I knew of any available public entity. This is when the light bulb shined in my head. I told him about BLDV and he said that he would be willing to talk to the BLDV CEO, Quincey. I simply had set up the call to make the introduction and that is when they later talked separately and had agreed to move forward. Ken told Quincey that he had two guys in mind as possible candidates to be the CEO of BLDV; these two people were Thomas J. Parilla (Tom) or Cleve Tsai.

Ken asked me if I would speak to both Tom and Cleve and share my opinion of what I thought of them. I did and I told him that the decision would be up to him and Quincey, but mainly him since he was the one paying all of the fees for BLDV to get current. I told Ken that I can only recall speaking to Tom on the phone in the past a couple of times and I didn’t think that he was a bad guy like some of the bashing that was going on, but in fairness to both guys, I really didn’t personally know either Tom or Cleve. I spoke to Cleve only once on the phone. I did tell Ken that because of what happened with FRTD getting halted, it would definitely create a negative perception about BLDV with Tom as the CEO be it fair or not. Ken told me that some of the ideas that he has for helping BLDV to move forward would help paint a better picture of Tom within the market and that the trouble he got into with FRTD and the SEC was much because of what transpired from Tom’s business relationship with Michael (Mike) Osborn which is this guy below:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=120485601

Ken told me that if some of the things that they are working on comes to fruition as he suspects they will over time, then it wouldn’t matter who was the CEO. I told him that since I wasn’t putting up any money or paying any of the many fees needing to be paid to get the company current, the decision is not mine and that all I could do is support whatever decision was made because regardless, with the company going current and some operations being placed into BLDV, it would at least give shareholders more hope than what was already existing at such time sitting with the ”Scull & Crossbones” with the ”Caveat Emptor” sign back then.

BLDV then started positioning itself to change its name to something more suitable for the market to Green Growth Holdings which was listed as a wholly owned subsidiary of BLDV first of which was later removed from being a part of BLDV. When the company applied for a name, ticker, and cusip# change along with a 1-7 reverse split (which was later cancelled), they learned that FINRA and the SEC had a problem with changing the name to Green Growth Holdings if Tom was going to be listed as the BLDV CEO. They had a problem also with changing the ticker and cusip# for the same reason, but the reverse split was doable. Even more important before inquiring FINRA on the matter, Quincey, the previous CEO of BLDV, had done some research and said that he was not going to sign any paperwork to officially turn the company over to Tom because of Tom’s past situation with FRTD. Quincey said that Tom was going to be in trouble with the SEC and that putting Tom as the CEO would not give the company a fair new start. Ken then went to Cleve and Cleve accepted the position of being the CEO of BLDV. Quincey researched Cleve and felt that Cleve would be the better candidate for the company and that he had no issues with Cleve so he signed over the company to Cleve. Ken agreed to stay on board as a consultant to help the company to help mature projects and operations for BLDV. They agreed to cancel the 1-7 reverse split and move forward under the current name of Blue Diamond Ventures, Inc.

Quincey said that he was tricked into having issuing those shares to TJ Management and that the market thought that he sold those shares and pocketed the money. He said that people would think the worse for BLDV given Tom’s past with FRTD and BLDV past history of dilution. All I could do was to respect how Quincey felt. Ken agreed with Quincey because during such time, Ken learned that Tom had taken $5,000 through a wire from a person they both knew that lost money in FRTD. In return, Tom promised that guy 350,000,000 shares of BLDV to make amends. When Ken learned of this, Ken shut that deal down by informing and recommending that Cleve do not honor that deal made by Tom because Tom was never the CEO of BLDV to have the right to do such a deal because Quincey never signed the company over to Tom. Tom wanted Ken to honor that deal that he made with that guy and to get Cleve on board to sign off on it because the guy was a friend to both of them and had lost money in FRTD and some other stocks. Ken and Cleve disagreed with that deal or any deal with the guy so a deal was never done.

Ken told the guy that sent the $5,000 to Tom that Tom was never in any authority to make that decision and that Tom should be sending you back your $5,000 that you wired to him and not the company. Ken told the guy that he would give him back his $5,000 as a gentleman’s agreement just to keep the peace and because Ken also considered this guy a long time friend too. The guy said no, he wanted the shares. So the guy went to a lawyer and the lawyer told him that he doesn’t have a leg to stand on and that Cleve as the BLDV CEO was correct to not give him any shares or any money back. The guy’s lawyer had relayed such to a separate lawyer that Ken and Cleve had gotten just in case things would have escalated, but things didn’t. Then the guy tried to change his mind and came back to Ken and said that he would take the $5,000 from Ken. Ken said no, he’s done with it and that he needs to go talk to Tom about getting his money back.

Cleve and Ken felt that diluting the company with 350,000,000 shares could not be justified to simply pay someone back money that was lost in another stock that was totally 100% unrelated to BLDV and its shareholders. I had stayed out of things, but when I learned of this, I felt the need to speak to Tom because I wanted to let him know that I respectfully support Ken’s and Cleve‘s decision to not honor that deal. Tom did not agree with neither my logic nor Ken’s logic. I told Tom that I understand him wanting to help their friend get his money back to make up for his losses in FRTD, but I didn’t agree with the logic of using BLDV as the vehicle used. I told him that in my opinion, that would not be fair to us BLDV shareholders.

The next thing you know, I get a call from Ken telling me that someone is bashing me and him on Twitter in regards to BLDV. He told me that he thought that it was Tom or the guy that sent the wire of $5,000 to Tom. I called them both and both denied that it was them. I have no issues with them as they were respectable when I spoke to them even though we didn’t agree with how each other were looking at things. I also have no proof that such negative talk of me and Ken was from them. I had people PM me on IHub and called me asking me about those tweets. So I told them the story and I told them to please feel free to share my phone number with anyone wanting to know what happened. Because the number of people had started increasing with people reaching out to me to wonder what the heck happened, I decided to make this post. I will tell anyone reading this the same as I told others in PMs and over the phone. I have no problem speaking to anyone with questions about such. Just call me anytime at 210-387-7957.

In closing, I made sure to be very transparent with all parties before making the introduction. I told them that I was nothing more than a shareholder. I told them that I didn’t want any ”Finders Fee” or cash or shares for bringing them to each other. I only asked for them to just get to know each other and decide if something could be done to put something worthwhile into BLDV to save us shareholders. I told them that I didn’t need to be in any meetings, but to feel free to call me if some kind of an issue popped up to where another opinion might help to resolve an issue. I was not needed. They agreed upon everything as I suspected without me and now we have this new BLDV of which the new CEO is now Josh Alper whose credentials are below on the company’s Facebook along with a few other key updates about the company:
