Are we getting a billion dollar contract
I see this going from 1.00 to 10.00 and the maybe 100
Always say what they are going to do and don’t. This time is different
For that matter, all of the Freedom Motors newsletters from the past two years can be seen here: https://freedom-motors.com/freedom_media.html
Take a look. See all the people and projects that were announced with great fanfare, and then never referred to again.
Here's the text of the newsletter
To: All Newsletter Subscribers
From: Paul S. Moller
MOLLER INTERNATIONAL
This newsletter is a follow up to two recent newsletters that I sent out. If you did not receive either of these, please follow this link where links to copies are available. Many MI stockholders have been asking when they can exchange their MI shares for FM shares. Unfortunately, nothing happens quickly when the Government is involved. The exchange process must be approved by the SEC as to its fairness to both FM and MI stockholders. This process will be expensive and includes audited financial statements for both companies. Since MI has no funds, the cost must be borne and justified by FM.
Question: What makes a stock exchange worthwhile for some MI stockholders?
Answer: Many MI stockholders purchased their shares before MI became a public company. In this case they own nearly equal amounts of MI and FM shares. These shareholders have little reason to convert since liquidation of MI, if it were to occur, would have little effect on the value of their investment. Most MI shares were purchased after MI became a public company and the share price dropped to pennies per share. These very large stockholders would lose their entire investment if MI were forced into liquidation by its creditors, or if MI continues to be unable to raise capital.
An additional consideration is the possibility of FM or MI being mandated to become a reporting company. Both FM and MI have an enough non-accredited stockholders that once its assets exceed $10 million, it must, under SEC rules, become a reporting company and its stock could be publicly traded if it wished. MI’s debt would make it necessary to raise approximately $35 million before this could happen. FM has agreements in place that could require it to become a reporting company within the next few months. In this case FM could choose to become a publicly traded company.
Question: What makes a stock exchange worthwhile for FM?
Answer: FM sees the use of its engine for personal aircraft applications (PAVs) as a future high-growth engine market. MI cannot fund the production and FAA certification cost of an aircraft engine, while FM is reluctant to fund this cost without being a major stockholder in MI.
FM has indicated an interest in exchanging 100 MI shares for one FM share and will honor that offer even if the valuation indicates a higher ratio. On the other hand, FM will accept a lower ratio if that is indicated by the analysis, provided that enough MI shares are offered to be exchanged.
Please, be patient during this process. Very significant developments are occurring within FM, including an agreement to purchase a large block of FM shares concurrent with creating a volume Rotapower® engine production facility in India. You will know the details of this agreement long before you need to decide whether to exchange some of your MI shares for FM shares. It should also be noted that while FM owes MI over $2 million for contract work it did in the past, these funds when received by MI are needed to meet its pressing financial obligations.
If you did not respond to my previous Newsletter regarding exchanging shares, you may do so under the assumption that the exchange rate is unknown. Once it is known you can then decide how many MI shares you wish to exchange.
The previous response to exchanging shares was high, but not high enough to provide FM with an acceptable ownership of MI. Those exchanging their MI shares for FM shares will also benefit from maximizing the amount of MI shares that FM acquires.
Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions which I will answer in my next Newsletter. Email me at paul@moller.com or paul@freedom-motors.com. My cell phone number is (530) 760-7177.
Can you post link.
Well, those who get the newsletter, like me, got a newsletter yesterday.
It mostly talks about the 'exchange of MI shares for FM shares', quite a laughable read.
I mean, a while ago they offer to exchange MI shares for FM shares and now they say that it is not that easy, it will take time (blaming the government, of course) and that people should be patient.
The do, however, say this about FM's progress:
"Very significant developments are occurring within FM, including an agreement to purchase a large block of FM shares concurrent with creating a volume Rotapower® engine production facility in India."
AS USUAL there is no substance to their statement. Just talk, talk, talk. I haven't visited the Facebook fan page for a while, but I am pretty sure that the fanboys are beside themselves with joy.
Where’s the update!? BTW whatever happened to the invention stocks guy?
TRUSTUNITS100000, MLER stock is gone. Nothing will happen in the future. EOM
I will sell at 10.00 if moller is converted into f m
It's called "Business as usual"
MI/FM - Commits to a date
Fanboys - "Yay! At last."
Realists - "Not gonna happen"
Fanboys - "This time is different!"
**Date of commitment passes**
MI/FM - ......
Realists - "Told you so!"
Fanboys - "They never made a commitment"
MI/FM - Makes new commitment, plus "this is even better! That's why it takes a bit longer"
Fanboys - "Yay! At last."
Realists - "Not gonna happen"
Fanboys - "This time is different"
And so the endless cycle continues as it has for 50 YEARS!
This date is fast approaching and we are seeing no signs of them following thru with the latest promises. I’m assuming another newsletter should be coming out this month with adjustments to their schedule
Haha as always
And he makes no sense whatsoever.
"you are mistaken, it was delisted not revoked" - No, sir, you are the one that is mistaken...

"ORDER MAKING FINDINGS AND
REVOKING REGISTRATION OF
SECURITIES PURSUANT TO
SECTION 12(j) OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT
OF 1934 AS TO MOLLER
INTERNATIONAL, INC."
"accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:
Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act, the registration of each class of
Respondent’s securities registered pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12 be, and hereby is,
revoked. The revocation is effective as of September 20, 2019"
Please read the official document before making any further arguments in the matter.
"seems FM Is on a roll"?
What exactly gave you this idea?
Because they said so?!?!
Arguably, when Moller announced the "China deals". one could argue that they were "on a roll".
When they announced the "Thorntail" deal one could argue that they were "on a roll".
When FM announced the first "A-life" deal it can be said that they were "on a roll".
What about the ever elusive IPO's of FM over the years that was to be expected "before year end" and so forth? Weren't they 'on a roll' then?
Nah, nah, what am I saying. Of course THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT.
Getting stock in freedom might be good
There is a document at the SEC EDGAR specifically stating that the stock was revoked. No ambiguity about it. The stock is now Monopoly money.
Moller may have said that their stock was only delisted. They also said lots of other provably false things in the past. Like the fact that the planned test flight in October 2011 was cancelled because too many people wanted to come and see it (rather than because they didn't have anything close to a flyable vehicle to demonstrate). Or the fact that they have provisional orders for millions of engines (despite having had this order backlog for over a decade, and never actually selling any engines). Or saying that they would make every effort to prevent the stock being revoked, when after the fact it's clear that they didn't do anything. Or that they had this amazing deal to invest 250 million dollars in the company from PSC (despite the deal relying on the revaluation of the now worthless Zimbabwe dollar).
It's not just that Moller regularly lies (although they do). It's also that it isn't even **good** lying.
Of course, I know the response. "This time is different".
rwandrw, the company and the SEC say the stock is Revoked;
https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0000871344&owner=exclude&count=40
Good luck
No I do not get the newsletters. It appears we are closing in on their anticipated deadline, I hope no news so far is good news. I am still upset MLER was Dlisted because if any actual signed agreements were announced than the stock probably would of responded a little. Now with the Dlist it could be years or longer to bring it back. I hope he doesn’t screw his shareholders and claim chapter 11
Do you get FM or MI newsletter? It is on the FM blog from the FM CEO he lists what he wanted to accomplish over 9 days in India and got them all target date was 90 days (Ish) so 11Nov ... Dr Moller also said the had 4 million coming in new money to help FM get to production
you are mistaken, it was delisted not revoked, if i so wanted i could exchange my MI shares for FM shares Per the MI CEO, Are you one the newsletter list?
rwandrw, MLER was revoked. Nobody that held that stock would receive anything from a reincarnation. EOM
Remind me again when was that date they were supposed to make the announcement?
Hold them since they will get 5 or 30% of any FM motor sale, seems FM Is on a roll ,we will know shortly if they really do the deal or just more endless miss management.
They have stated at some point they will do an IPO but they are not planning anything soon
Nope.
Moller International is purely entertainment for me.
I had doubts when I first read about them more than sixteen years ago. And subsequent events have more than justified that initial skepticism.
The entertainment value decreased a bit when Jeff disappeared, but it still has its moments.
If I still had shares, I would have written them off as a bad investment and walked away.
Your 'loser either way' comment is spot on.
Freedom Motors can bring in new faces with impressive resumes all they want, but the core management style remains the same as it did with Moller International. And look how that turned out. Remember all those impressive resumes from the 'Thorntail' guys? Remember how the fanboys looked at those resumes and said 'this time is different'. Remember? Remember when Ed de Reyes was appointed to be the company test pilot and also liaison with the FAA? Remember? Remember how the fanboys said 'this time is different'?
Resumes mean nothing if the man really holding the steering wheel is heading straight for a brick wall.
In the end Freedom Motors will fail and they will blame 'lack of funding' for their downfall just like Moller did now with the latest newsletter regarding Moller International. Anybody with a brain (unlike fanboys) that does a thorough root cause analysis will see that 'lack of funding' isn't the root cause for Moller International's downfall. The root cause is Paul Moller and his questionable business practices. Not only in obtaining funding, but also utilizing funds.
I stand by my belief that if Moller had chosen one vehicle to bring to market things would have been different. Maybe not successful, but different. Constantly switching tracks on which vehicle you want to develop while you have no income stream is suicide. Business Management 101 stuff.
Moller is a tinkerer and he used investors money like he would have used a grant in his academia days. He used those investments to tinker and when the money ran out, the money ran out.
Fanboys shouldn't fool themselves into thinking that just because Freedom Motors has a CEO called Dr Paluru (or whoever he is) that Paul Moller isn't calling the shots. Of course he is.
LOL, I’m assuming you do not have any shares
Well, if you have certificates, you could use them for lining a birdcage.
I'm sure they're printed on the wrong kind of paper, which excludes toilet paper.
What would you do if you had shares in MLER? It seems like it’s a loser either way
Why would Freedom Motors want to go public?
That would mean... <gasp> having to report results to the SEC, and have accountants, and all that awful stuff.
I'm sure that they're having a lot more fun with being a private company, where you can just make up your results, arbitrarily decide what your share price is, and there aren't any bad people from the SEC spoiling everything.
Now that Moller International has been revoked/delisted, it can now be a zombie corporation, and remain undead forever!
Is FM going to go public? What’s everyone’s take on that?
NOT revoked CEO newsletter
MOLLER INTERNATIONAL
Moller International (MI) was delisted as anticipated in my last Newsletter. As President of MI, I apologize for being unable to raise the necessary capital to maintain MI as a public company. Raising capital for the development of a rotary engine proved to be easier than for a flying car (personal air vehicle or PAV). Consequently, the value of MI shares has continued to decline, while the value of Freedom Motors (FM) shares has remained stable. The number of MI shareholders who stated that they wanted to exchange their shares for FM shares was much larger than expected. This is very important for those who do exchange shares because as FM becomes a major shareholder in MI, exchangers will indirectly remain MI stockholders.
Questions that have been asked by MI shareholders include:
Question 1: Are my MI shares now worthless?
Answer: No, otherwise FM would not be discussing an exchange of shares. However, it is reasonable to assume that MI alone may continue to have difficulty raising enough capital to achieve FAA certification of its Skycar® and Neuera. To put into production and FAA certify both the aircraft and manufacturing facility of a conventional two-passenger airplane like the ICON can cost over $100 million and take many years to achieve. Needless to say, a very unconventional aircraft like the Skycar® could cost more and take longer.
Question 2: What was the last share price at which FM shares were sold and what is its market cap?
Answer: FM sold 70,667 shares at $1.50 per share resulting in a market cap of $62,250,000. In a recently signed agreement an investor will acquire over 4 million shares at a higher share price. This will double the FM market cap.
Question 3: What was the FAA’s objection to certifying the Skycar®?
Answer: The FAA did not object. The problem for MI was raising the capital required to produce and certify the Skycar® along with the time it might take to become FAA certified. This, and the over $22 million in debt, deterred potential investors.
Question 4: How many shares have been issued by MI?
Answer: 150 million shares were authorized and have been issued. MI is seeking authorization to sell another 150 million shares in order to provide 55 million shares to shareholders who have exercised options. The remaining 95 million shares will be available to raise capital should that become possible.
Question 5: Should I convert my MI shares to FM shares?
Answer: This must remain your personal decision. If you want to convert, but have reservations, you should keep some of your shares. The officers of MI and FM support this exchange; however, it must be approved by the SEC, which will take some time. During this period, you will be made aware of any developments before choosing to participate in this one hundred for one share exchange. Providing Freedom Motors with the number of shares you wish to convert will continue to be treated as an expression of interest that you can change at any time until a final agreement is signed between you and FM.
If you go to the Moller Skycar facebook page, you will see someone shared an article on the Porsche/Boeing flying car plans. The very first person who commented quoted Moller's white paper.
Nah, Jeff will not re-appear. Even if he does, I bet his position will be in the vicinity of 'It doesn't matter. Paul will never let us down. Soon to the moon! Any day now! This time is different.'.
But yeah, I would also love to hear from him and also some of the other fanboys who used to be so smug.
Who is that person you are referring too? And where is Jeff, I’d like to hear what he had to say about the D list
Hahaha! And there fanboys be fanboys.
Someone shared an article of the Porsche/Boeing flying car plans on the Moller fanboy facebook group and the first reaction? Some genius fan actually quotes Moller's "white paper" on the stupidity of EVTOLs.
Instead of you fanboys bellyaching about your enlightenment on electric aviation on facebook and Moller message boards, why don't you directly contact Boeing, Airbus, Porsche, Toyota, Hyundai, Piper, Pipistrel, Embraer, Larry Page, Sebastian Thrun, some other big and small companies and individuals and, of course, some governments like Japan and Singapore. You guys can save these companies, individuals and governments BILLIONS of dollars with your superior knowledge and insight. You, my friends, can save the world.
Just on a side note. Remember, even the Wright brothers said that fixed wing aircraft will never become a viable form of transport. They said aircraft will remain a 'sporting' vehicle, because engines will never become powerful enough to carry passengers in large scale. They also said a couple of years later that helicopters will never be practical, also because of the power needed to lift them.
All I'm saying is that if you didn't become enlightened yourself, if you didn't crunch the numbers yourself and you are relying on the opinion of so called "experts", then remember, experts can also be wrong. Even more so if the so called 'expert' is pushing an agenda.
Of course the guy selling beef will tell you that it is superior to mutton, pork or chicken. Of course the guy selling apples will tell you apples are healthier than pears and peaches. Of course the guy trying to sell you worthless foreign currency at inflated rates will tell you there is a 'global currency reset' coming...And of course these people will have some form of document to verify that claim. Of course they will have done studies and research. Problem is, companies' research is often biased and subjective.
Don't forget Banking. Internet banking? What a disaster! Your money will disappear through the wires, they said. Now, I cannot remember the last time I set foot in a real bank. Perhaps 5 years ago, if not more. Cash. I have some cash in my wallet now, because I went on vacation and figured I'd get some just in case, otherwise I never have cash on me. Mobile phones? Only for high net worth executives. A status symbol more than a practical tool. Now nobody can live without one. We use it to watch TV, listen to music, shop, bank, buy and sell shares, keep in touch with people halfway across the world, track our children's movement, record life events and the list goes on.
Nah, you are right. Progress cannot be stopped.
I read just now that Porsche and Boeing is also partnering up to explore the "high end" urban air mobility market. There are very few Aircraft and Car manufacturers left that are not exploring EVTOL aircraft.
Luckily the Moller fans have quietly disappeared. As I knew they would. Otherwise some nut would have said "Moller should contact Porsche and Boeing right away!". On the other hand, they one guy that loved saying Moller should partner up with (whoever and article was about) did become enlightened by the end.
Well said, You never know what the future may hold
There was a time when EV's were considered a joke and nobody will every buy them in the masses. Plus there was a time that streaming movies was never going to work because we all really wanted to go to a video store and pick out what we wanted. Then there was a time when brick and mortar stores were the only way to go as nobody was ever going to buy into the notion of doing things online. Plus, people would only ride in certified taxis as using a shared ride service was never going to happen.
EVTOL's will never happen as people only want something like gasoline to power their trip to the store all while doing it by air.
Moller released a 1 page white paper a few years back (when Zack Rabin still worked for him for free) on how stupid Electric VTOLs are.
No, Moller will never go electric. Will he ever admit that he was wrong about the rotary engine? I think not.
Ahh, good old Zack. Remember what the fanboys said about Zack? They said "this time is different".
I think there is a place in the market for Non-electric VTOLs, but electric is definitely where big money is flowing into.
I don't know if it is age, but there was a time where Moller used to pump out new 'designs' in an afternoon. Think M100, M200 and the various Military models. They looked like they were drawn by grade schoolers.
I am surprised that he didn't spend an afternoon 'designing' an EVTOL, even just to fake the impression that he is still relevant. They did talk 'hybrid' a few times, but also it was just a little stab at relevance.

Moller International (MLER)
http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/MLER/news
*** TOP REASONS TO BUY MLER ***
The Rotapower® Engine
Moller International (MLER) has developed a lightweight cutting edge rotary engine technology, called Rotapower®. It is vibration free with twice the power and one third the weight and size of the engine it is replacing designed AND the company has developed for the first and only feasible, personally affordable, personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle the world has ever seen. (Flying cars called volanters the future is here!) It produces 3 Hp per each 1lbs
Moller International (MLER) has exclusively licensed its Rotapower® rotary engine production and distribution to Freedom Motors except for aircraft and ducted fans. Everytime Freedom Motors sells an engine Moller International (MLER) gets a cut!!
Freedom Motors agreement with Moller International (MLER) provides for a 5% royalty on engine sales and 30% of any revenue Freedom Motors receives from sub-license agreements it makes.
Freedom Motors has contracted with Moller International (MLER) to provide all engine development and now owes Moller International (MLER) approximately $4 million for these services
BUT IT GETS EVEN BETTER:
Moller International (MLER) focusing on it's sky car production has already received orders with deposits for its Skycar 200 and Firefly volantors. The Skycar is capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) similar to a helicopter and flies from point of departure to destination much like an airplane. However, the Skycar has been designed to also travel at low speed for short distances on the ground like an automobile. It has fold-up wings which make it narrow enough to be usable on roadways. All this and, incredibly, it's easy to fly!
Neuera/Firefly volantors
There is an exception in the FAA rules for airplanes that weigh less than about 1400lbs. They are called Light Sport Aircraft (LSA). Moller International (MLER) plan to work with the FAA to create a category for powered lift aircraft which has the advantages of the LSA category. The Neuera/Firefly is a is particularly suitable for: Border Patrol, Search and Rescue and Utility Use or ATV replacement. Getting the Neuera/Firefly is now the priority, since it will talk the least amout of FAA Regs to jump over to get it certified.
Awesome share structure, as of February 19, 2015 there were 150M A/S and 69,379,796 shares of common stock outstanding meaning that when the share price rises it can rise quickly with the limited number of shares available!
Moller International (MLER) will eventually be uplisted to a senior exchange if it is not purchased by a bigger company which is highly likely! Currently MLER shares are trading around a penny, with it's new revenues and continued growth look for MLER to be trading in the multi dollar range within 12 months.
President and Chairman of the Board Dr. Moller has received 43 patents including the first U.S. patent on a fundamentally new form of powered lift aircraft
