Green Oasis (GRNO)

[Ferick]

"... they claim to still be working on the listing requirements as well as the business in general."

This translates into all sitting around the boardroom table sipping CC & 7 and making such poignant remarks as, 'Who's deal is it, this hand?"

[XenaLives]

an ownership and/ or registration issue that was being fixed. (Sounds like an Aldo Rotondi issue to me.) Stephen Taylor is currently working on a replacement web site.

I agree with the first part...

I can't deal with the second part.

Therefore GRNO will not be getting any of my investment money. Especialy with ZERO transparency.

[rkiefhaber]

The explanation I got for the web site being down was that there was an ownership and/ or registration issue that was being fixed. (Sounds like an Aldo Rotondi issue to me.) Stephen Taylor is currently working on a replacement web site.

Other than that they claim to still be working on the listing requirements as well as the business in general.

[Ferick]

GreenOasisEnvironmental.com is still down but CustomCarbonProcessing.com is still up. Under these and other current circumstances, a new letter from the pres.
http://customcarbonprocessing.com/presidents_message.asp
should be in order, wouldn't you say?

[Ferick]

Has anyone who has attempted to communicate with Sharon D. Mitchell gotten a response from her?
I have not but my communications have all been recent; within the last couple of weeks.

[Ferick]

Rob Ford, Mayor of Toronto, has new career prospects, one of which is CEO of Green Oasis Environmental, a seriously floundering slop oil reclamation company based in Edmonton, AB. He is considering the offer and has mentioned to a few of his closest friends, 'How could things possibly get any worse? and "It would be a cold day in hell that I screw that one up any more than it already has been."

[Ferick]

There was little on it that was accurate, anyway; there really hasn't been for years, probably forever.

[anian]

The website wasn't bringing in anymore suckers to buy any GRNO paper. Maybe it is just more fuel to wind the spring tighter and catch more shorts. LMFAO!!!

[rkiefhaber]

greenoasisenvironmental.com

Web site has expired on 11/11/13, I guess we can't afford it anymore??

[Ferick]

Here is a current what's happening in oil production but I don't see any mention of Green Oasis Environmental or Custom Carbon Products. I see the regions of U.S., the same as on GRNO's web presence but the GRNO entity is just not in the mix. I suppose management is sitting around the office of opposing thumbs, waiting for a letter from the Alberta Securities Commission retracting that cease and desist order.
..."The fact is, the U.S. is producing a million more barrels of oil a day now than it was just a year ago," he says, thanks in large part to newly developed oil and gas fields in North Dakota and Texas. "The growth rate in oil production is up 15%," he says.
For his part, Kiesel says the industry is highly regulated and is an investment that is best-played by "owning the premier producers in each area."
Along that line, in the Bakken shale, he names Whiting Petroleum (WLL) as a good candidate, as well as EOG Resources (EOG) in the Eagle Ford shale and Continental Resources (CLR) in the Permian Basin.
As for companies that will transport the oil to refiners, so-called "midstream suppliers" like MarkWest Energy (MWE) and Targa Resources (NGLS) are Kiesel's top trades in this space. The companies are up a whopping 48% and 32% year to date, respectively...

[anian]

GRNO shell is worthless. They can't get the paperwork to fix it. They sure can talk and promise that they could, but that was all just to sell stock to suckers.

[Ferick]

U.S, is now producing over 8,000,000 barrels of oil a day. it seems as though, with that much production, there would be enough slop to provide work and profit to one company from Edmonton, AB with established locations with collection facilities, even a startup, seat of the pants op. I wonder what would be required to do that.

[anian]

I am waiting at no bid for GRNO. LMAO!!!

[Ferick]

Many are waiting to snap it up in the "fire" sale.

Green Oasis Environmental, Inc. (PN CE) (USOTC:GRNO)
Historical Stock Chart
3 Months : From Jul 2013 to Oct 2013

Click Here for more Green Oasis Environmental, Inc. (PN CE) Charts.

Green Oasis Environmental, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GRNO), a Florida corporation, received a Cease and Desist Order by the Alberta Securities Commission due to the Company's failure to comply with the provisions of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations which was filed on July 16, 2013. National Instrument 51-102 requires, among other things, that financial statements be made publicly available for OTC reporting issuers.
The Company has been unable to comply with both the National Instrument 51-102 reporting requirements, as well as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act due to the Company's inability to get its financial audits completed. And although the Company's financial documents have been in the hands of the auditor since January 2011, there seem to be many obstacles to hurdle left over by the previous management; the biggest obstacle to getting these financial statements audited and filed is the Company's inability to provide information as to when and how shares of the Company were issued between the years 1997 and 2009.

When present day management took over the company, the last public filing was made on October 7, 1997 for the period ending June 30, 1997 and showed a total of 6,465,134 issued and outstanding shares. When the shareholder list was finally released by the then Transfer Agent, and which was dated June 2, 2009, the list showed 25,062,742 issued and outstanding shares; resulting in a discrepancy of 18,597,608 issued and outstanding shares between the last publicly filed financial statements and the actual issued and outstanding shares. All of the shareholders on the list of June 2, 2009, were issued certificates of free trading shares and assumedly are in possession of those shares. Accordingly, it appears that during the years between the last filing in 1997, and June 2, 2009, there were 18,597,608 shares of GRNO issued.

However, the Company today does not know how or when these shares were issued and therefore, the discrepancy has created difficulty in reconciling the books of GRNO; because of this discrepancy in the share issuance the completion of the audit has been delayed.

With help from various shareholders on the shareholder list and with help from people who were involved with the Company at some point, we have eliminated much of the discrepancy. However, to date, we still have a discrepancy and ask all shareholders whom received shares prior to 2009 to send us a copy of their issued certificates with an explanation of how they obtained them (purchase, exchange, debt conversion, etc.) so that we can reconcile our books and get our audit completed and filed. If sending a copy of the certificate is not feasible, an email with your name, certificate number, date certificate was issued, and how you obtained your shares would be sufficient.

Please forward whatever information available to [e-mail] to assist us in completing the audit and moving forward with the Company.

Who bid for a million shares this morning, and why?

[Ferick]

kezzek is right.

Harbinger Research (the one that pumped GRNO) is "a quality-leading independent research company." www.harbingerresearch.com/our-firm

Harbinger Capital Partners, LLC, the firm connected to (founded by) Phil Falcone, is a hedge fund and and affiliated with HGI (Harbinger Group, Inc.), an investment firm.
http://www.harbingergroupinc.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=118763&p=irol-investmentteam

So it appears that the difference between the two firms is that one got caught with fingers in the cookie jar, the other did not get caught.

[Toxic Avenger]

Don't think so. There was a "Harbinger Research" report on GRNO I believe, but I don't believe the firms are related.

[XenaLives]

Harbinger - just ran across this doing other DD - is it the same outfit that issued the report on GRNO?

Philip A. Falcone and Harbinger Charged with Securities Fraud

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

[Ferick]

MISSING SHARES FOUND!!!
They've were printed on rolls of toilet paper, boxed and stored in a warehouse back room at GRNO headquarters and closely held by management insiders.

[wookie1]

Note to "The Help" since you are in the area, can you tell us if Peter is cleaning up the site, after the fire, or has he abandon it along with the wast-well he put 50K into?

[Risicare]

Totally. Borrow cash to start the business, pay it off with free trading equity and the creditors can pump and sell. Meanwhile you give yourselves preferred that sucks out any sort of profit the business makes. It is a no lose situation as you don't have to put up any money, incur no debt and get the profit. IIRC the preferred accrues 500Gs a year?(going from memory) So like 3 years on now or so the company would have to net a fortune for anything to go on the books to the common holders.
Pretty much anytime you see Canadian companies on the OTC it is a joke. Especially when they are oil based. Real US companies in that sector tend to list on Canadian exchanges instead of the OTC if anything as that is where the money is for that industry. As well you could not do this kind of thing in Canada due to stricter regulation.

[Toxic Avenger]

Between Monk, Ramm and Ramos, it seemed shady from the get go.

[Risicare]

It was never really a public company anyway. So much money accrues to the preferred holders (management)that common holders would never see squat all, outside of a miracle. Then the exact opposite happened.....

[Makinchange]

They're bailing out? silently, you mean..

[Ferick]

Approx. 785,000 shares were traded in July. Of those, most were traded through the three entities posted in this url. In comparison to previous months, all of the previous months listed, this smacks of a death knell.

Here's something else that could have easily taken the position of that mobile mechanism that all waited for over a year and a half to receive from a european supplier and when it arrived, it still didn't work.

http://www.abanaki.com/skimsel.html#SECB?referrer=adwords&keyword=Oil%20skimmer&mm_campaign=c9a6227812b24f58118dab8c0f06bfee&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=Adwords

There are plenty of these in different forms to be had from various manufacturers and suppliers. It's kind of funny that the GRNO crackerjack "A' team weren't aware.

[Ferick]

This appears to be somewhat related. If enough waste oil is poured down a hole in Edmonton, it could flow underground down the north american continent to the gulf of Mexico and/or the gulf of California, contaminating aquafers used for drinking water in its wake. More significant to this board, the article relates to a mechanism, a "UCG (Ultrasonic Cavitation Generator) that is designed to remove suspended solids from waste water streams, leaving fresh water as the output."

[xxxxcslewis]

Regarding your PM elsewhere, I responded.

"Frequently happens when offering opinions counter to the prevailing sentiments.

I'll leave it at that."

Unfortunately that response fell to the same fate as the previous response.

Again I'll (try) to leave it at that.

[Ferick]

Cease and desist? I thought they had done that long ago.

[Makinchange]

I like it

"Green Oasis turning your investment money into a mirage."

[Toxic Avenger]

Yeah, Monk's "FLD" and the transfer of shares to Ramm and Ramos were the big red flags for me on this one.

[Makinchange]

Fascinating, I remember when I bought in sometime in 2010, and the company telling me "Big things are happening".

I look back now and, Yeah, sure did........I think I'll frame my certificate. It's not even worth the paper it's printed on but would make a really nice wall hanging, don't you think? Maybe scan and post in on Facebook for a laugh. Like one of those demotivational posters?? Can anyone help me out with a catchy slogan.

Thanks to you all for your due diligence and discernment. You guys have done an amazing job with all the information and work following up. I know they had some pretty big private investors. Tragic..IMO

Spun the wheel and lost.

[Toxic Avenger]

On the other hand, it says he was purchasing 1.2 million shares at 1/100th of a cent each. That could only be done with Margiotta's involvement. It appears he may have purchased 600k shares from Ramm & Ramm, and while that may not involve Margiotta, it has never been explained how Ramm got their millions of shares, which could only have come from Margittoa.
So either Margiotta is as much a victim as everyone else here, if he sold none of the 60 million shares he gave himself, or he was part of the scheme, IMHO.

[loanranger]

Margiotta appears not to be mentioned and in that sense he wasn't directly implicated. But is it reasonable to think that his employment of Taylor and the relationships with Alessandro and Rotondi were the acts of an innocent man?

Their histories are hard to ignore.

[rkiefhaber]

Interesting to read through these filings. The Monkster seems to be suffering from severe memory loss. It is amazing how much he does not remember.
The good news is that Peter Margiotta does not seem directly implicated in the Monk's testimony. As Sharon Mitchel has stated over and over.

[Toxic Avenger]

I'm afraid I'm more cynical than you. I don't believe someone of Monk's abilities and intelligence truly believes he's done nothing wrong. Though to harm this many people, I guess a psychopath is not out of the realm of possibility.

I think like most criminals, he tries to find ways to rationalize his clearly destructive behavior. I'm sure murderers think "He had it coming" and thieves "I need this more than they do", so at some level perhaps he has convinced himself of his innocence. But I also think that most of these folks are spending more effort to convince those who are trying them of their belief in their own lack of guilt than they are themselves.

Again, thanks for the info.

As for the undergraduate degree, as with most of the things in his testimony Monk can't recall, I'd suggest a massive case of blocking out memory of any event that does not cast him in a good light.

[loanranger]

No problem.
Without giving too much away I think you'll conclude when you're done that he actually believes that he's done nothing wrong. In fact, the lawyer leads him into admissions of illegal acts that he seems to be proud of.

I can't help pointing out a highlight for me:
He got his PHD from an online school and apparently doesn't know whether they offered an undergraduate degree OR whether he has one. The subject caused lots of fumfering...hamenahamena :o)

[Toxic Avenger]

I have not seen them and I'm only slightly through reading them, but they are fascinating. They provide a great look at how GRNO and all of Monk's stocks were promoted and the scam that he ran for years.

Thanks much.

[loanranger]

You've probably seen these things..they've been posted elsewhere.
The Monk testimony is lengthy, but describes some of the "investor relations" activities performed by Monk, Taylor, Rotundi, etc. on behalf of GRNO (and CDIV) that we could only guess at previously.

Will GRNO/CCP receive any type of insurance payment ?
customcarbonprocessing.com is still operational.

I'm guessing that the owner and/or insurer of the (destroyed) truck + tanker would file some kind of a claim against GRNO/CCP and their insurance co. (?) Possible legal action ?
Most important: Hopefully, injured workers have received good medical care ... and are fully recovery from injuries.

[Toxic Avenger]

Surely management realizes that if they can't reconcile the ownership through the T/A and past records, posting it on a message board is unlikely to provide the answers.
I find it hard to believe they are the first shell in the history of the OTC that cannot account for all shares and that there's no process for dealing with it, other than being relegated to the grey sheets, which seems likely where they're headed.
Between the collusion with Monk, Ramm and Ramos, I suspect the owners would be very happy to just have this shut down, enjoy the profits they made selling into Monk's pump and avoiding the SEC.

IMHO, this is just another excuse for "We tried to file, but we just can't. Buh-bye now."

[Ferick]

It was my understanding that the "missing information" was being addressed by Ms. Mitchell and an agreement was being considered by SEC. That must have fallen through. I was also told that inaccuracies on the two websites would be corrected within a few months but that was early last year.
Since "few" and "months" have clear definitions, there seems to be an obvious and ongoing problem with management's concept of truth. An argument against this might be the unfortunate chain of contributing events far beyond control of same that has demonstrably changed forward looking statements loopholes. The focus shifts from management's notion of "greedy investors" to questionable motives behind management's performance. I'm sure this can be cleared up with factual communications.

[Toxic Avenger]

With the Monk disgorgement, the share transfers from Margiotta to Ramos and Ramm, the explosion and fire, I think an accurate share count is the least of their problems.

GRNO is going nowhere as a stock, I suspect there are several people using the missing information as an excuse to avoid going to jail. There were enough PRs about how the audit was almost complete that it may not be possible.

[Ferick]

I can understand the confusion in the specifics of the total number of shares between '97 and '09.
Though it seems the last filing date of '97, as stated in the most recent "Cease and Desist Order" (the order), Oct. 7, 1997 is not the last filing of 1997 but Dec. 4, 1997 (see below).

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/914257/0000950144-97-013031.txt

In the above referenced document, there are numerous new shares issued, sold, transferred in exchange for services, etc.

I didn't do the math but apparently, neither did anyone else.

It's my contention that, when the corp. was transferred to the new corporate owners, B.C. made took a share count (fuzzy math) and the new crew accepted the numbers.

There could likely have been some share transfers someone (?) made that were not reported as required (Page 3, Pp 2 – Page 5, Pp 8). More document examples apply.

According to "the order" on June 2, 2009, the shareholder list showed 25,062,742 issued and outstanding shares of GRNO stock.
According to a phone conversation with Tom Curtis of Bay City Transfer, on 12/3/2012 there were 172,607,992 outstanding shares of GRNO stock with 74,136,342 non-restricted.

[rkiefhaber]

It sounds to me that they need the share count between 1997 and 2009 to complete the audits. If any one has any ideas who was issued these shares I am sure Sharon would be happy to hear from you. LP conversions possibly ?? Bill Carraway feathering his nest possibly ??? Who might have this information ??

Without this info we go no where IMO !!
