Perhaps, but I didn't bash it like janice. I lost money - so what. No one is a perfect investor.

And I am bearish on the stock now. eom

More flooding, and now below 3 cents.

[JoeLong]

Too bad they don't release another promise to quit flooding the market with new shares, and keep the promise this time. Without the flood, this stock price would be much higher. I only hold a few free shares from a run last Summer, but others are not so lucky. Continued releasing of shares and more reverse splits will ruin the stock, if it hasn't already.

[scion]

Too bad the PR doesn't tell the investors the true story, and you can see the lack of impact the "news" had on the stock price.

Chitosol - An unfortunate choice, since "fat absorbers" are what brought the FTC down on Mark Levine & co.

Chitosan is not a wonder product, and Chitosol is nothing special.

Infotopia, Inc. Forms TrenDirect Marketing, Inc.
TrenDirect Marketing Inc. Acquires Certain Assets of Danmark Inc. and Beacon Marketing Services, Inc.
CANFIELD, Ohio, Jan. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Infotopia, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: IFTA - news; ``Infotopia'' or the ``Company''), announces today that it has formed TrenDirect Marketing, Inc., (``TrenDirect Marketing'') a wholly owned subsidiary of Infotopia. TrenDirect Marketing has acquired certain assets of Danmark Inc. and Beacon Marketing Services, Inc. These assets include a 150-seat call center and a portfolio of licensed products. TrenDirect Marketing acquired the rights to purchase these assets from Vitaquest International Inc. (``Vitaquest'') under an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Maine. Current Infotopia Chief Operating Officer Jane Aggers has assumed the position of President of TrenDirect Marketing.

In connection with this acquisition, TrenDirect Marketing has also entered into a license agreement with Lehigh Drive, LLC, a subsidiary of Vitaquest. Under this agreement, Lehigh Drive has agreed to license the intellectual property rights of the Chitosol(TM) brand, a known dietary supplement, to TrenDirect Marketing. The acquisition also includes the license rights to 26 other nutritional and dietary supplements from Danmark, Inc. and Beacon Marketing Services, Inc.

``The acquired products, and the Chitosol(TM) brand, have had success in the past,'' said Infotopia President Ernest Zavoral. ``TrenDirect Marketing's formation will enable Infotopia to integrate its resources and create a full service marketing entity, providing all elements of well-planned and executed campaigns for direct response, retail and direct selling. We feel we are now strategically positioned to leverage our existing infrastructure for continued success.''

The acquired assets also include an established media-buying agency that purchased in excess of $30 million in media time last year. The addition of this agency will lower Infotopia's media buying costs by reducing its dependence upon third party agencies and is expected to provide a significant savings in Infotopia's overall operating expenses.

Zavoral also stated, ``Infotopia is exploring its options with regard to these assets including the potential spin-off of TrenDirect Marketing as a separate public entity. Infotopia anticipates making a final decision on this in the first quarter.''

ABOUT INFOTOPIA

Infotopia is a direct-to-retail marketing company that is becoming a leader in the electronic retailing arena. Its mission is to produce, market and distribute an expanding line of high quality, innovative health, dietary and nutritional, fitness and consumer products, which deliver superior value at competitive prices.

Specializing in Direct Response Television (DRTV), Infotopia uses an effective combination of electronic media, such as television, radio and the Internet to present its branded products to the consumer for purchase. These well-recognized products are marketed through infomercials, distributor alliances, retail, e-commerce and direct mail campaigns allowing customers to make an immediate, informed buying decision.

This news release includes ``forward-looking statements'' that include risk and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements in this release are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially due to a variety of factors, including without limitation, the Company's ability to produce and market products and/or services and other risks detailed from time-to-time in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

[scion]

Capital Advisory Partners is also a Georgia limited liability corporation. Its registered agent is the law firm of Briskin & Associates, LC, whose founder, Alan Briskin, used to be a partner in the Alpharetta, Georgia law firm of Briskin & Rinde. His partner in that firm was named Jeffrey Rinde.

There may be some more connections worth noting. Judith Adler is identified as the Managing Member of Kilkenny. Mrs. Adler was also listed in her individual capacity as a selling shareholder (along with Capital Advisory Partners and Gata) in a Registration Statement filed by Delsoft Consulting, Inc. in October 2000. Bondy & Schloss acted as attorneys for Delsoft in connection with that registration. And Bondy & Schloss partner, Jeffrey Rinde, served as Chief Financial Officer and a Director of Delsoft from 1997 through November 1999.

According to the Merger Agreement between Grand Enterprises and EC2000, Ms. Adler resides at 420 East 79th Street, New York, N.Y, Apt. 12-D,an apartment building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. That is also the address that we found listed for an individual named Gerald Adler (a lawsuit filed against Bondy & Schloss, Mr. Adler, Mr. Rinde and Infotopia by J Group Holdings lists Apartment 12-D at 420 East 79th Street as Mr. Adler’s address. See Infotopia, Inc., The Professionals – Playing Defense). Is that the same Gerald Adler who is a partner in the law firm of Bondy & Schloss? If so, is he related to Judith Adler? As best we can determine, the Delsoft and Grand Enterprises Registration Statements do not disclose any relationship between Ms. Adler or Kilkenny on the one hand and Gerald Adler or the law firm of Bondy & Schloss on the other.

One more thing. Benjamin Giacchino, Managing Member of Monkstown, also served as a Director of Delsoft, and reportedly sold Delsoft shares under Rule 144. Prior to that time, between 1991 and 1993, Giacchino was a stockbroker at Greenway Capital Corp. (later Cortlandt Capital Corp.), a brokerage firm that lost its license in 1998 after the SEC charged Greenway with securities manipulation.


We Shell Overcome

Stock Patrol has uncovered still more connections among Kilkenny, Finglas, Monkstown, Rathgar and Capital Advisory Partners. These entities have joined together repeatedly to acquire interests in companies, including several “shells. Consider the following:


• On November 19th Infotopia, Inc. filed a Form 10-Q disclosing that its wholly-owned subsidiary, East Side Venture Partners LLC, had acquired shares of DLD Group, Inc., a public company, formed in Delaware in April 2000 as a “blank check” shell without any operations. At the time DLD was formed its sole director and officer was Patricia Meding. Like Grand Enterprises, DLD had retained Meding’s firm, Capital Advisory Partners, to find a reverse-merger partner.

The original shareholders of DLD were Capital Advisory Partners; Kilkenny; Rathgar; Finglas; and Monkstown, each of which had initially been issued 800,000 shares of DLD stock for $80 – just as they had when Grand Enterprises was formed. This time, however, each of those entities subsequently sold 760,000 of their DLD shares to East Side Venture (the Infotopia subsidiary) in March 2001 for an aggregate sum of $200,000. That constituted a profit of $199,600, which seemed considerable since the Company still had no business.

In April 2001, DLD found a business – or at least a potential one – acquiring rights to a pending patent application relating to water filters and purifiers. But DLD apparently does not have a patent just yet. It says it has the rights to a pending patent application, and there can be no assurance when, or even if, the patent will be issued. After the acquisition, Ms. Meding resigned as an officer and director of DLD. Infotopia’s President Ernest Zavoral, who also serves as Managing Member of East Side Venture, is now the Chairman of the Board of DLD.

Despite considerable uncertainty about the prospects for the patent, DLD has filed a Registration Statement covering all shares owned by East Coast Venture (3.8 million shares); Capital Advisory Partners (40,000 shares); Kilkenny (40,000 shares); Rathgar (40,000 shares); Finglas (40,000 shares); and Monkstown (40,000 shares). DLD’s lawyers for the offering? Jeffrey Rinde and Bondy & Schloss.

• On August 7, 2001, an OTC Bulletin Board company called Millennium Direct, Inc. filed a Form 8-K disclosing its acquisition of Blue Capital Associates, Inc. (BCA), a private company whose shareholders were East Side Venture; Monkstown; Finglas; Rathgar; Kilkenny; and Capital Advisory Partners. It is unclear what, if any assets, Blue Capital had at the time of the acquisition. Millennium has now changed its name to Blue Capital Associates, Inc.

• Freeman Technologies Corporation is another “blank check” shell company with the same cast of characters. It has yet to acquire an operating business, although, like DLD, it has retained Capital Advisory Partners for that task. Patricia Meding remains Freeman’s sole officer and director. Its shareholders consist of Capital Advisory Partners (800,000 shares); Kilkenny (800,000 shares); Rathgar (800,000 shares); Finglas (800,000 shares); and Monkstown (800,000 shares). Freeman’s attorneys are Bondy & Schloss.

• This group of shareholders got together once again to form another shell corporation, Castle Hill Associates, Inc. Like Freeman, Castle Hill still has no operating business, although it has retained Capital Advisory Partners to find one. Patricia Meding is Castle Hill’s sole officer and director. Its shareholders consist of Capital Advisory Partners (200,000 shares); Kilkenny (200,000 shares); Rathgar (200,000 shares); Finglas (200,000 shares); and Monkstown (200,000 shares).


The DLD Registration Statement is still pending, so there is no telling when this band of shareholders will be free to start selling their DLD stock. And shares of Freeman and Castle Hill could eventually hit the market as well, once those companies finally find a business – or at least the rights to a patent application.

Those prospects should keep investors on their toes. We know we’ll be watching for developments.

ZERO DEGREES OF SEPARATION, PART III – WERE THOSE IRISH EYES SMILING, OR IS GEORGIA ON THEIR MIND?
December 6, 2001

As we have seen in the first two installments of this series, there is an abundance of cross-pollination when it comes to the investors, attorneys, and consultants involved with public companies such as Infotopia, Ives Health, HIV-VAC and Grand Enterprises. Some of the players, like Teodisio Pangia, Alan Berkun and Joseph Blumenthal, have been the subject of serious regulatory scrutiny. Other names are far less familiar, but they all certainly seem to be well-connected.


Luck of the Irish

Remember Kilkenny Group LLC; Rathgar LLC; Finglas LLC; and Monkstown LLC? They have something in common – in addition to the fact that each of the entities acquired 800,000 shares of Grand Enterprises common stock for $80. Rathgar, Finglas and Monkstown are also the names of three villages in Dublin, Ireland. And Kilkenny is the name of a town in Central Ireland.

Could that be a mere coincidence? We have found no disclosure suggesting that the four companies are under common ownership and control. To the contrary, each identifies a different individual as its “Managing Member”: Judith Adler of New York City for Kilkenny; Dr. Stuart Erner of Slingerlands, New York for Rathgar; Irwin Goodman of Alpharetta, Georgia for Finglas; and Ben Giacchino of Woodstock, Georgia for Monkstown (Finglas has also provided an address in Boynton Beach, Florida.

What do they have in common – aside from an apparent affinity for Irish names? We discovered that two of the entities, Rathgar and Monkstown were created as New York limited liability corporations on May 10, 2000. In both cases Jeffrey Rinde of Bondy & Schloss is listed with the New York State Division of Corporations as the person who has been designated to accept service of papers – like civil complaints and other court documents – on behalf of the corporation.

On the other hand, Kilkenny and Finglas were both formed as limited liability corporations in Georgia on that same date, May 10, 2000. Both list their address as 6 East 43rd Street, New York, N.Y., – the same location as the offices of Bondy & Schloss.

Capital Advisory Partners is also a Georgia limited liability corporation. Its registered agent is the law firm of Briskin & Associates, LC, whose founder, Alan Briskin, used to be a partner in the Alpharetta, Georgia law firm of Briskin & Rinde. His partner in that firm was named Jeffrey Rinde.

There may be some more connections worth noting. Judith Adler is identified as the Managing Member of Kilkenny. Mrs. Adler was also listed in her individual capacity as a selling shareholder (along with Capital Advisory Partners and Gata) in a Registration Statement filed by Delsoft Consulting, Inc. in October 2000. Bondy & Schloss acted as attorneys for Delsoft in connection with that registration. And Bondy & Schloss partner, Jeffrey Rinde, served as Chief Financial Officer and a Director of Delsoft from 1997 through November 1999.

According to the Merger Agreement between Grand Enterprises and EC2000, Ms. Adler resides at 420 East 79th Street, New York, N.Y, Apt. 12-D,an apartment building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. That is also the address that we found listed for an individual named Gerald Adler (a lawsuit filed against Bondy & Schloss, Mr. Adler, Mr. Rinde and Infotopia by J Group Holdings lists Apartment 12-D at 420 East 79th Street as Mr. Adler’s address. See Infotopia, Inc., The Professionals – Playing Defense). Is that the same Gerald Adler who is a partner in the law firm of Bondy & Schloss? If so, is he related to Judith Adler? As best we can determine, the Delsoft and Grand Enterprises Registration Statements do not disclose any relationship between Ms. Adler or Kilkenny on the one hand and Gerald Adler or the law firm of Bondy & Schloss on the other.

One more thing. Benjamin Giacchino, Managing Member of Monkstown, also served as a Director of Delsoft, and reportedly sold Delsoft shares under Rule 144. Prior to that time, between 1991 and 1993, Giacchino was a stockbroker at Greenway Capital Corp. (later Cortlandt Capital Corp.), a brokerage firm that lost its license in 1998 after the SEC charged Greenway with securities manipulation.

[Joemoney]

I don't know anything about that, and since I'm not a basher, I don't care to learn because I have decided not to invest in the company. Only a basher would learn about a company he/she did want to invest in. I believe your just a basher who has nothing better to do. I however, actually invest in companies, and those are the ones I pay attention to.

[Joemoney]

I don't know. I told you before that I don't even like this company anymore, so don't spout your basher lies at me.

How's this? Can you explain why this company suddenly has no viable products, is bleeding cash, and is involved with investments in a bunch of other worthless penny stocks like Millennium and DLD?

Or what role Bondy & Schloss may have played in introducing any or all of these companies?

The lawsuit and the dead Entreport merger are the focus of a new article today on stockpatrol.com

[Bernard Ng]

The chance of IFTA to win the case... not high, they can settle though. If PeopleSoft's statements are misleading... then you can gauge the chance of IFTA's case... pretty simple.


SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A federal judge approved a $15 million settlement Friday between PeopleSoft Inc. and shareholders.

Shareholders were seeking millions from the Pleasanton, Calif.-based business that makes software to assist businesses automate their operations. They accused the firm of making false and misleading statements regarding its products, sales and growth prospects.

The class includes investors who acquired PeopleSoft common stock or call options from May 27, 1998, through Jan. 28, 1999.

Law Firm Goodkind Labaton Rudoff & Sucharow LLP Announces Class Action
Lawsuit Against Infotopia, Inc.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 23, 2001--Goodkind Labaton Rudoff &
Sucharow LLP (GLRS) announced today that it has filed a suit in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio against Infotopia,
Inc. and four members of the company's senior management for stock fraud.
The plaintiffs, twenty-six stockholders of Infotopia, are seeking a minimum
of $5 million in damages and have asserted a claim for punitive damages.

Named in the suit aside from Infotopia (OTCBB:IFTP) are Daniel Hoyng,
Infotopia's chief executive officer and chairman of the board, Ernest
Zavoral, the company's president and a director, Marek Lozowicki, an
officer and a director, and Clinton Smith, an attorney who is also a director.

Infotopia, located in Canfield, Ohio, is in the direct marketing business
and sells various products through televised infomercials. The products
include home exercise equipment (the "Total Tiger" and "Body by Jake Bun
and Thigh Rocker"), a line of herbal formulas (the "Hot Mommies System"),
and a kitchen device (the "Cooking Saddle").

The complaint alleges that the plaintiffs were induced through a series of
false and misleading statements made by the company's senior management
between June and September 2000 to exercise warrants to purchase Infotopia
stock. The stockholders exercised their warrants in mid-September by
surrendering promissory notes issued by Infotopia that provided for the
return of principal within 270 days together with 10% interest.

The stockholders claim that they relied on statements by Hoyng and other
officers and directors that the "Torso Tiger" sales "will continue for many
years to come" and that earnings of 20 cents per share could be "safely
projected" "for this fiscal year." In fact, according to the complaint,
Infotopia discontinued the sale of this product as of December 31, 2000 and
the company reported a loss of over $16 million dollars for the three
months ending November 30, 2000 and a loss of over $26 million for the ten
months ended December 31, 2000. Other false and misleading statements
alleged in the complaint relate to an announced Letter of Agreement for a
$20 million financing package that was characterized in an August 4, 2000
press release as a "real home run for our company." In a letter to the
shareholders on September 28, 2000 Hoyng disclosed that the Letter of
Agreement was in fact only a letter of intent that never materialized into
any financing for Infotopia.

The stockholders further assert that the false and misleading statements
had the effect of causing the stock price to rise from 12 cents per share
on August 23, 2000 to $1.12 per share on September 12, 2000. Several of the
insiders sold hundreds of thousands of shares through September 20
realizing substantial profits. The suing stockholders' stock was not
registered by the company until over a month later when the stock price had
dropped to the 20 cent per share range. Adjusted for a recent 200:1 reverse
split, the stock is currently trading at less than a half a cent per share.

The plaintiffs are represented by Mark S. Arisohn, Esq. of the New York law
firm, Goodkind Labaton Rudoff & Sucharow LLP, a national leader in
securities fraud litigation. For almost 40 years, GLRS has practiced at the
trial and appellate levels in the federal and state courts For a copy of

[rossiskiing]

To DECEEEEEIVE you? Us IFTA investors are evil, aren't we?

Think about it....Is "Joe" a popular name???

Now if my name was "Gilber", I can understand your concern, but I see no reason for creating false aliases.

joe

[rossiskiing]

hey, who said i was here to bash? I was just curious as to whether if or if not Joemoney and Joelong are the same people. Are you both named Joe?
Thank You

[Joemoney]

We are not the same people. And stay off the board if your here to bash.

[JoeLong]

Thx Joe. There has been a lot of talk that the shares going out would slow down now. I just wondered if anyone was keeping track. Joe L

[Joemoney]

I'm following them, but I just think that getting too involved in the stock can lead to mixed feelings about the stock and would just make it more work. I just figure that I should leave the suer indepth research to the company workers, unless IFTA has an job opening with a good stock plan, lol.

[JoeLong]

Joe are you keeping track of o/s numbers? I hear a lot of crap about share releases and the numbers posted in the usual places are never right. TIA Joe

JoeLong,

It might be another week or so before we get some people in here. I have about 450k (Yes, four hundred thousand) or so emails on my newsletter database, but I cannot find a company to host my mailing list with costing me a grip. I should have it going real soon though, I'm still looking. I will promote IFTA with that list and bring more people to this board.
