Apparently funding all fell-through again, per latest financial disclosure. Petey the fraudster also says he will be selling his shares to market makers, so DILUTION is likely to massively skyrocket.
from Hop-ON latest official info....
The previously announced $5 million mezzanine round has not materialized as anticipated, and has affected timing for platform launch
SCAM! MICHAELS HAS NOTHING!!!!!

$HPNN Recovering from surgery this past month. I know my timing’s been off—no excuses, that’s on me. But make no mistake: we’ve never stopped building.
We’re not your typical pinksheet—we’re not dumping billions of shares. Now that financials are done, launch resources shift. Big updates soon.
As you can see, no stock has been issued.
Let the games begin! #Digitalage
AI is exposing Michaels. There are a lot of people on X posting their AI inquiries about Michaels. Years of BULLSHIT prove he is a lying criminal.
MICHAELS HAS NOTHING...NO PLATFORM!!!
Below is a bio for Peter Michaels and Hop-On, Inc., covering the last twenty years (2005–2025), focusing on criminal actions, company launches, and revenue where information is available. Due to limited public data, especially on recent activities and revenue specifics, some details are based on known events and trends, while gaps are acknowledged.
Peter Michaels and Hop-On, Inc. Bio (2005–2025)
Peter Michaels Overview
Peter Michaels is a controversial entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Hop-On, Inc., a U.S.-based company historically involved in electronics, telecommunications, and more recently, digital media ventures. Over the past two decades, Michaels has navigated a tumultuous career marked by innovation, legal troubles, and ambitious but often unrealized business ventures. His leadership of Hop-On has been characterized by high-profile product announcements, legal entanglements, and a persistent drive to pivot the company into emerging markets.
Hop-On, Inc. Overview
Hop-On, Inc. (OTC: HPNN), founded in 1993 and headquartered in California, initially gained attention for its work in telecommunications, notably touting a disposable cell phone in the early 2000s. Over the last twenty years, the company has shifted focus multiple times—spanning wireless technology, online gambling affiliations, and decentralized social media—while struggling with financial stability and credibility due to Michaels’ legal history and unfulfilled promises[/b]. Revenue figures for Hop-On are scarce in public records, as it trades on the over-the-counter (OTC) pink sheets, a market with minimal reporting requirements.
Timeline of Key Events (2005–2025)
2005: Criminal Conviction and Sentencing
In November 2005, Peter Michaels was sentenced for stock fraud related to his earlier ventures. This stemmed from a 2003 federal indictment accusing him and associates of raising $12 million to $18 million for World Wide Web Casinos (WWWC), an online gambling company, through fraudulent means including telemarketing and false representations. Michaels was alleged to have pocketed investor funds, including $17,000 for personal credit card bills and $131,000 for a yacht. This conviction followed years of legal scrutiny and marked a significant setback, tarnishing his reputation as he attempted to steer Hop-On forward. Revenue impact on Hop-On from this period is unclear, but the company’s stock, already volatile, remained in the penny-stock range.
2006–2010: Hop-On’s Post-Scandal Recovery Attempts
After his sentencing, Michaels refocused on Hop-On, which had gained attention in 2001 for its disposable cell phone concept—an idea that earned a Time magazine accolade but failed to materialize at scale. During this period, Hop-On struggled to regain traction in the telecom sector. No significant new companies were launched, and revenue remained negligible, with the company reporting minimal operational success in public filings. Michaels’ criminal history continued to cast a shadow, limiting investor trust.
2011–2015: Legal and Financial Struggles
Michaels faced ongoing legal challenges, including civil suits and judgments. Posts on investor forums like InvestorsHub allege additional criminal history—such as felony money laundering (2007) and child support debts of approximately $180,000—though these claims lack comprehensive court documentation in accessible records. Hop-On’s activities during this time were low-profile, with no notable product launches or revenue breakthroughs. The company’s market cap hovered in the microcap range, often below $1 million, reflecting its dormancy.
2016: Wireless Infrastructure Ambitions
In May 2016, Michaels announced Hop-On’s intent to partner with Chinese factories to supply wireless infrastructure to U.S. and EU carriers, positioning the company amid growing skepticism about Chinese telecom firms. This pivot aimed to capitalize on the wireless boom, but no tangible products or partnerships materialized. Revenue remained unreported or negligible, consistent with Hop-On’s pattern of ambitious press releases without follow-through.
2021: Acquisition of Vertuoso and Digitalage Launch
In November 2021, Hop-On acquired Vertuoso, an entertainment company specializing in vertical storytelling and ad-tech, to bolster its new venture, Digitalage—a decentralized social media platform promising data portability and free speech. Michaels pitched Digitalage as a revolutionary media economy, targeting influencers and creators with tools for monetization and content protection. The acquisition cost was not disclosed, and Digitalage’s launch remained in development stages with no reported revenue by year-end. This marked a significant shift from telecom to digital media, though skepticism persisted due to Michaels’ track record.
2023: Digitalage Development and Leadership Expansion
By March 2023, Michaels continued promoting Digitalage, releasing a manifesto emphasizing digital rights management and blockchain integration. In November 2023, Hop-On appointed Jeff Lerner as Digitalage’s Chief Marketing Officer, touting his $500 million marketing revenue history as a boost to the platform’s growth. No revenue figures for Digitalage or Hop-On were publicly disclosed, and the platform’s user base and operational status remained unclear. The company claimed partnerships (e.g., a 2023 Microsoft patent licensing agreement), but specifics and financial impacts were not substantiated.
2024–2025: Recent Criminal Charges and Current Status
In July 2021, Michaels was arrested on felony charges in Riverside County, California (Case #SWF2101245), with charges filed by August 2021, though details remain sparse beyond investor forum posts citing six counts. This legal action lingered into the 2020s, overlapping with Digitalage efforts. As of April 2025, Hop-On remains active under Michaels’ leadership, pushing Digitalage as a “trillion-dollar media economy” contender. However, no verifiable revenue data supports these claims, and the stock trades at fractions of a cent, suggesting minimal market confidence.
Companies Launched and Revenue
Hop-On, Inc. (Ongoing)
Focus: Telecom (early 2000s), digital media (2020s).
Revenue: Historically negligible; OTC filings show sporadic income (e.g., <$100,000 annually in some years), with no consistent profitability. Recent Digitalage revenue is unreported but likely minimal given its developmental phase.
Digitalage (2021–Present)
Focus: Decentralized social media platform under Hop-On.
Revenue: No public data as of April 2025; remains pre-revenue or low-revenue based on lack of market penetration evidence.
Vertuoso (Acquired 2021)
Focus: Content marketing and ad-tech, integrated into Digitalage.
Revenue: Pre-acquisition revenue unknown; post-acquisition contribution to Hop-On undisclosed.
No other standalone companies were launched by Michaels in this period, with efforts concentrated on Hop-On and its subsidiaries.
Summary of Criminal Actions
2005: Sentenced for stock fraud tied to WWWC ($12M–$18M fraud).
2007: Alleged felony money laundering (unverified beyond forum claims).
2021: Arrested on six felony counts in Riverside County (details pending).
Additional civil suits and debts (e.g., IRS, child support) are cited anecdotally but lack full documentation here.
Conclusion
Over the past twenty years, Peter Michaels has steered Hop-On through multiple reinventions, from disposable phones to digital media, amid a backdrop of criminal convictions and legal disputes. While his vision has often been bold—Digitalage being the latest example—execution and financial success have remained elusive, with revenue either unreported or insignificant. Michaels’ bio reflects a blend of entrepreneurial persistence and controversy, leaving Hop-On’s future uncertain as of April 7, 2025.
This bio synthesizes available data, acknowledging gaps where public information is limited (e.g., exact revenue, unresolved legal outcomes). Let me know if you’d like further refinement!
They are terrified, hence their appearance here.

I am in contact with the Secretary of State. There are a number of issues to be resolved through various agencies.
So now the Reverse split is coming sooner than most thought? Saw that post, but I think that Hop-On investor is blocked on the serial-liar CEO's promotion X page.
Big problem is that @HPNN can't do it because the corporation is not current (now EXPIRED) in Nevada, the company's state of incorporation.
Do you agree that not disclosing over $10 million @HPNN liability in financials is stock fraud, especially since the CEO has been served and is even required to attend court-ordered debtor hearings?
ROLFLMAO scared of what's coming #FUSHORTY
@SEC and @finra are now aware of this. Waiting for his annual report to see if he discloses this liability.
CEO refuses to disclose this liability.
Someone mentioned this should be listed on Hop-ON, Inc. financial disclosures and that money owed represents around 3-times the current @hpnn market cap (a lot of money).
It's so F-ing SICKENING that this SCAMMING POS isn't locked up!
HEY SEC????? Where the F*cK are you dumb MFers? I hope everyone on you gets fired you incompetent F*cks!

@POTUS
President Trump: Transforming Government Communications with Unprecedented Security
Mr. President,
I've developed a groundbreaking secure messaging system that directly addresses the critical national security vulnerabilities in current government communications.
My provisional patent combines military-grade security with REAL identity verification by cross-checking against federal databases and using advanced biometrics. Unlike existing systems, this technology ensures every official in your sensitive group chats is 100% authenticated against government records—eliminating the risk of foreign actors infiltrating classified discussions.
The multi-party verification system ensures ALL participants in White House, military, or agency communications are continuously verified, while quantum-resistant encryption protects against both current and future threats from adversarial nations. This system would give your administration a secure communication channel immune to the leaks and security breaches that have plagued previous administrations.
America deserves communication systems as secure as our borders. When can we discuss implementing this America First security solution?
MICHAELS THE "POS LIAR" IS AT IT AGAIN.
There are dozens of tweets like these over the past few days, blasting the shit out of his lying ass.

Peter is a habitual liar.
He’s been “closing” the deal for over 10 yrs now.
$HPNN will ALWAYS be a “I promise, it’s coming”
Pitiful excuse for late filing....I guess he decided to not use the covid excuse this time.
Apparently he has been well enough to post BS on X and do stock promotion, but not well enough to cut-n-paste financial disclosures.
He's had 3 months to prepare the annual report with $0 revenue and massively deeper in debt....what is the problem, Petey?
I see Hop-ON is still on ADMINISTRATIVE HOLD, too.
@SEC and @finra will be looking for your explanation (in your annual report) of why you have not been recording the $10+ million liability (judgment lien) on @HPNN assets. There is proof of service, so you know Hop-On has this liability.
Since it is now over 3-times the current market cap, regulators will be looking to why you are failing to disclose this material financial "liability" disclosure and why you have not paid it back.
Reason for Delay in Posting Financial Report: State below in reasonable detail why the Annual/Quarterly
Report could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The CEO underwent surgery and has been in recovery over the past three weeks, which caused an unexpected
delay in completing the company’s year-end financials. We are actively finalizing the filings and expect to be
current within the 15 days.
The Administrative Hold is still current according the the Nevada SoS website.
Hop-on has not updated it's list of Officers, due today.
Also Annual Report due today.
Hop-On remains on ADMINISTRATIVE HOLD

He got what he wanted from her. Then he seemed to kick her and his obligation to pay to the curb.
He actually did say to one debtor something like, "Get in line."
Probably blame it on "medical debt".
Unfortunately Ma-g-ka will NEVER collect. NEVER! She's just wasiting her time with this lying POS.
My best advice is to write it off. Unfortunately it's a civil case, and unless she can prove wire fraud, she's f-ed. Michaels knows this.
She'll have to proceed to the back of the line with the other 50 or 60 people who have been waiting in line for years for their awarded judgements. Even his ex-wife strugggles to collect the hundreds of thousands of dollars in back child support.
Not supporting your own kids? Nuff said...that should tell you everything about how bad this DIRTBALL is.
Again, she'll never collect. It's agaist Michaels belief that he owes her anything but another F-ing over. The guy is a classic Sociopath.

Comical - not launching anywhere. Just a simple squarepace page for marketing and stock promotion.
it is not protected by patent anything. And even if he tries to submit a REAL patent application within 12-months, there is no assurance that anything will be granted or defendable in court.
This may not be the first time he abandoned something or let the provisional expire.

@HPNN . and still no Beta or ios apps (promised years ago). Those that email interest in beta get no response? Haven't seen one and no response to my (confidential) request, either.
and still no "verified" transfer agent for the corporation. Are they afraid to accept the transition?
He might like my social media and followers, though I lean toward fiscal conservative, social liberal side... only posted/responded a couple times early on in this lie-filled debacle (some call it a multi-year scam), but I check out his comical stock-promotion rants when I can.
I wonder if he is racking-up medical debt, too? Monthly child/spousal support payment must be killing the CEO Petey D Michaels. After all, being on probation for that beating of a woman means he cannot do more crimin'.

Shorts. No need to cover. Reverse split soon?
Just kidding. Probably only Citidel or management shorting their own stock?
I can't because most can't afford the massive margin required, plus the $2.50 Rule
This rule applies to shorting stocks priced below $2.50 and is enforced by some brokers. Even if the stock is sold at a much lower price, you will still need $2.50 in capital for each share.
