Warnings from idiotic blowhards with continuous insults which loss their investments mean nothing to anyone, some forgot that..
Ditto....
Ditto...
Like I have always said I have patience. Sow the wind, Reap the whirlwind.
Fair enough.
One sides with oneself.
Really, is that how it works even if true? Only a moron would side with that.
You were well-in-advance advised you were lied to.
Banro.com website is down, not loading.
Yes, ‘they’ were useful, helpful too...
Oh… the Banro law suite. Brilliant!
Did the suite (suit) settle and now your Banro shares which Banro sold for you, at zero, will your BAA shares now be returned to you, so you can keep holding LONG and STRONG?
Or is the suite your only hope and prayer? All the warnings provided to you, but your ego more valuable to you.
You still may be right in the end, yet the end of this Banro story, and resolution to your LONG and STRONG BAA shares, is a couple years out, likely.
I didn't preach, I just said my thoughts just like you did when you PUMP'd BAA UP.
I just didn't give out all the BS crying while you loss money on the SELLS.
I believed in what was said by many including you in the beginning and thought there was a possible come back only to find out we were lied to.
Now the lawsuit will pay THEM back.
Kpissme...Is this the new management that you preached to us?
I thank you very much How can I get shares of this great company?
Interesting, I did work in Tower 7. It’s where Silverstein properties is located and has a showroom overlooking the towers and Museum.
Thanks again (sarc font) for posting those BAA lawsuit "sources".
BAA
So post a couple links, some search terms, etc, already. Name the two firms, etc. Why so coy?
“Money bags are fixing to be opened.” Maybe you’ll be right one of these days.
Shareholders will not give up with out a fight!
I didn't necessarily provide the news. It's on the internet. It's public information
That's something a lot more "concrete" than just shoes.
BAA
Thanks for providing some law related BAA news.....
Banro "links" are only what the company wants to public. If you dig, you will see that at least 2 law firms are going after Banro. A lawyer isn't going to waste their time on a case if they think it's no good
how about some concrete shoes?
The company is dead and the money bags are fixing to be opened for payouts.
Do you have any links to indicate any of those comments...
It would be helpful, btw, I posted something that can be verified.
Thanks in advance should you include any "concrete" info.
BAA
Management knows they're screwed. They are trying to pretend that everything is Ok with these announcements. Behind the scenes they are pleading with their lawyers to keep this in Canada when they committed crimes in the US. Attorneys and judges are paying attention to their responses.
So it was to be expected
Banro Announces Effectiveness of its Recapitalization Plan and Intent to Terminate Registration under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Toronto, Ontario, May 3, 2018 – Today, Banro Corporation (the “Company”) announced the effectiveness of its Amended Consolidated Plan of Compromise and Reorganization (the “Recapitalization Plan”), which, as previously announced, was sanctioned by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) on March 27, 2018 in connection with the
implementation of the Recapitalization Plan and the Company’s emergence from protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”). Upon effectiveness of the Recapitalization Plan, all of the Company’s existing equity and any and all equity related claims were cancelled.
Furthermore, pursuant to an order from the Ontario Securities Commission, as of the effective time of the Recapitalization Plan, the Company ceased to be a reporting issuer in each jurisdiction of Canada in which it was a reporting issuer.In connection with the effectiveness of the Recapitalization Plan, the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to voluntarily terminate the
registration of its equity securities under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Banro Corporation is a Canadian gold mining company focused on production from the Twangiza and Namoya mines, which began commercial production in September 2012 and January 2016 respectively. Banro’s longer-term objectives include the development of two additional major, wholly-owned gold projects, Lugushwa and Kamituga. The four projects, each of which has a mining license, are located along the 210 kilometres long Twangiza-Namoya gold belt in the South Kivu and Maniema Provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”). All business activities are followed in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

But he writes to the right address, even if he says nothing
Here's a short summary. Sources say multiple law firms are going after BAA. Not just the one you are reading about on this board.
He plays both sides , arrogance , innocence.
Glad to hear that you know what's going on.
Would it too much to ask for a brief summary...
Thanks in advance.
BAA
Yes. I know what's going on.
Does anyone know what's going on with the courtcase.
Thanks in advance
BAA
Oooh Myyyy, that’s the way i like it.
Banro is arguing to keep this in Canada. However the Canadian judge is asking for outside assistance?
The Canadian judge? You're saying the judge used to be a lawyer?
Surprising to see Canadian judge hand it to Banro so readily. Seems such a weak argument, from a lawyer turned judge. Lepard filed when he did for a reason which seemed tied timing wise in correlation to Canadian CCA process. I imagine a positive common-class Canadian outcome was sought too.
Suit was filed in US court. Stock was traded in NYSE. Us law applies. A lawyer isn't going to waste his time on a case that isn't any good.
U.S. Courts may see it differently, such that Lepard’s class action will proceed under United States jurisdiction. Canadian Court (Judge Hainey) concluded his Order asking for other Courts’ support (Canada and U.S., or any other) in carrying out the current Canadian Court’s ruling, effectively asking for assistance, for “aid and recognition of any court or any judicial, regulatory or administrative body having jurisdiction in Canada, the United States, or in any other foreign jurisdiction.” Seems a consideration of U.S. jurisdictive authority. That Securities Act of 1933 Section 3(a)(10) exception as cited by the Canadian Court does not appear appropriately justified or well founded. Though certainly expertise for others.
Section 3(a)(10) of Securities Act of 133, as amended:
Section 3(a)(10) Debt Conversions In a Shell Company Pre-Reverse Merger
http://www.legalandcompliance.com/section-3a10/
Sure seems like Lepard’s suit applies to Banro and officers much for generally and with regard to Banro operations and its confidence relayed to investors than specific to Banro’s Recapitialization Plan, the Reverse Merger, in this case, as Effected Equity Claims, yet Canadian Justice Hainey didn’t ‘see’ it that way. He called procedural error, “non-compliance with the Claims Procedure Order,” and subsequently shut down all class members’ access thereafter.
Nice fix, the whole way.
Judge barred all Claimants from future recourse Claims, this includes all members of the Class Action suit. Had action singularly or just a few parties been filed, not a class action filed…
Room for an Appeal? Otherwise, that’s all she wrote.
4.4 Equity Claims

Banro is a Canadian gold company with two wholly-owned producing gold mines and two wholly-owned advancing gold exploration projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Twangiza mine produced 135,532 oz Au in 2015. The new Namoya gold mine entered commercial production on January 1, 2016 and has production targets of 9,000 to 10,000 oz Au per month. Exploration is ongoing at the fully permitted and licensed projects of Kamituga and Lugushwa. With Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of 3.18 million oz Au, a Measured and Indicated resource of 7.04 million oz Au and an Inferred resource of 5.08 million oz Au, Banro’s properties host a major gold resource.
The Company’s two operating gold mines are Twangiza, which produced 135,500 oz Au in 2015, and Namoya, which entered commercial production in January 2016 and has production targets of 9,000 to 10,000 oz Au per month. Multiple new exploration targets have been identified on both the Twangiza and Namoya properties. Meanwhile, exploration is ongoing at the fully permitted and licensed projects of Kamituga and Lugushwa.
In addition to these four licensed projects, Banro also holds 14 exploration permits covering 2,638 square kilometres and located on highly prospective ground between its Twangiza and Lugushwa projects. Applications for additional exploration permits contiguous to and located between the Company's Lugushwa and Namoya projects, along with areas south of Twangiza, are pending.
To date, only 12 percent of the concession area has been explored using modern exploration techniques.
Qualified Person Daniel K. Bansah, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (Aus.I.M.M), the Company's Vice President, Exploration and a "qualified person" (as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101), has reviewed and approved the technical information included on this web site with respect to the Company's gold properties.
The first of Banro's two gold mines, Twangiza is targeted to produce 110,000 to 120,000 oz Au in 2016
Twangiza Mine
Twangiza became Banro's first producing open pit gold mine in October 2011, and commenced commercial production in September 2012. With mill throughput currently operating slightly above capacity of 1.7 million tonnes per year, Twangiza in 2015 produced 135,532 ounces of gold. The mine has an expected life of 14 years from currently defined reserves.
The property is located 45 kilometres south-southwest of Bukavu in South Kivu Province and consists of six Exploitation Permits covering 1,164 square kilometres in the highly-prospective 210km long Twangiza-Namoya gold belt.
Twangiza is the most advanced of Banro's four properties with a Mineral Reserve of 27.67 million tonnes grading 2.05 g/t Au containing 1.82 million ounces of gold. Measured and Indicated resources at Twangiza are 99.35 million tonnes grading 1.47 g/t Au containing 4.69 million ounces of gold plus an Inferred Resource of 9.83 million tonnes grading 1.17 g/t Au containing 370,000 oz Au. The updated resource calculation used a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au.
The Twangiza deposit is comprised of two resource components - an oxide portion and a transition rock/fresh rock (non-oxide) portion. The current activities involve mining and processing a blend of both oxide and non-oxide material within the reserve pit shell using the existing plant. Exploration activities are focused on growing the oxide resource.
In 2016, management efforts will focus on increasing plant production through expansion of the fine crushing circuit. This is expected to create a finer grind which is more amenable for improved leach dissolution. The additional crushing equipment has been procured and is expected to be commissioned in the third quarter of 2016.
The most recent technical report with respect to Twangiza that has been filed by Banro on SEDAR is dated July 29, 2015 and entitled NI 43-101 Technical Report, Mineral Resource and Reserve Update, December 31 2014, Twangiza Gold Mine, Democratic Republic of the Congo. A copy of this report may be accessed at www.sedar.com.
Banro's second gold mine, Namoya, began commercial production on January 1, 2016
Banro's Namoya (oxide and free-milling) mine entered commercial production on January 1, 2016. At full capacity, the Namoya mine, a hybrid heap leach – CIL plant, is expected to produce 9,000 to 10,000 ounces of gold per month.
Namoya has a Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve of 20.94 million tonnes grading 2.02 g/t Au containing 1.36 million ounces of gold. Measured and Indicated resources at Namoya are 25.68 million tonnes grading 1.96 g/t Au containing 1.62 million ounces of gold plus an Inferred Resource of 5.03 million tonnes grading 1.63 g/t Au containing 260,000 oz Au. The updated resource calculation used a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au.
The Namoya property lies at the southern end of the Twangiza-Namoya gold belt in Maniema province, approximately 210 kilometers southwest of Twangiza and consists of one PE covering an area of 174 square kilometres.
