Evert, I would like to publicly clarify posts that I had made about your involvement with NicStic, the ecig stock scam that stole $300 million from its shareholders.

I have previously stated that you were the CEO of NicStic. This is nominally untrue. I assure you that this was an honest mistake caused by the multitude of shell companies that have been used to perpetrate this fraud.

I erroneously misread the April 2005 press release with the headline "Evert Wilbrink Named as Chief Executive Officer of Metropolitan Worldwide; Will Lead Marketing of NicStic Smokeless Cigarettes on Global Basis" as saying that you were the CEO of NicStic. In the press release you stated "I am very excited about leading Metropolitan in its efforts to distribute NicStic smokeless cigarettes on a worldwide basis." This was likely the source of my confusion.

It is worth noting that MWWM's flagship (and only?) product was NicStic source. It is also worth noting that MWWM has since been folded into the Swan Group (SWNG) which has been implicated in pump and dump scams. source

It is worth noting that the director of SWNG is Mr. Berresheim who is also a principle in Perfect Entertainment Group. SFIO is currently paying Perfect Entertainment Group free shares for its PR work SFIO PR announcing hiring of PEG

Mr. Berresheim has been jailed and successfully sued for his involvement in stock scams source. It is my hypothesis that SFIO is laundering funds through Mr. Berresheim's companies.

I know that Tom and Evert read this board. Just as Evert accurately denied that he was the CEO of NicStic (he was just the CEO in charge of NicStic) and I urge the company to deny this hypothesis if it is untrue. I believe that since my hypothesis is true that the company will not issue such a denial.

Evert, I appreciate that you asked Pauly to post your denial of involvement with NicStic as it caused me to reevaluate my research and post this correction.


Evert, an NicStic by any other name smells as foul.

Changing the name around from NicStic to Metropolitan Worldwide, to Bel-Air, to Rauchless, to SFIO. That doesn't get you away from the fact that its the same ole song and dance with the same partners. It is truly remarkable to me that this has gone on as long as it has.

You were the CEO of Metropolitan Worldwide. You were the people behind MWWM. You were the distributor for NicStic which even you and Tom acknowledge was a scam. NicStic stole $300 million from its shareholders. Even the Spongetec guys had the decency not to claim to "only be the distributor" of their nonexistent product.

The company has promised that a financial report financials would be out a month ago and Tom told me that the Real ecig would be out a week ago. Where are they? The bar is set very low for your company to regain some credibility. Just do what you promised.

"I got alerted by someone that I apparently worked for NicStic. i didn't, I bought the US rights for Metropolitan in Ft Lauderdale and only months later found out that we were taken for a ride. Unfortunately the people behind MWWM were in bed with NicStic and equally unethical. I regret having been used as a front by these manipulators and scam artists.
