As Auctus alleges, PCT consented to and approved the exercise of appx 3m warrants in Dec 2021. OUCH!!
That alleged action could be an acknowledgment by PCT that Auctus had the rights and ownership of those warrants. This is a serious miscalculation by PCT, if this is what happened.
Also, only the fact PCT breached their agreement by not having sufficient shares available to facilitate the issuance. That smells to me as a weak plot to purposely keep their shares tied up to circumvent their obligation to Auctus and others.
Good luck Mike SIms when you try converting your preferred lol
Shareholders bailing out of PCTL as news about the Auctus response sweeps across the country
20. Denied. Further answering, Auctus is without information sufficient to admit or deny the date PCT learned that Auctus had exercised its rights under the Warrant. Further answering, Auctus states that it attempted to exercise the Warrant for 39,339,900 shares on December 10, 2021, but that, in breach of its obligations under the Warrant, PCT did not have sufficient shares in reserve. Further answering, on December 14, 2021, with the knowledge and consent of PCT, Auctus exercised its rights under the Warrant for 2,548,461 shares.
They were trying to jailbreak 40 million shares, but settled for 2.5 million? I hope Auctus could allege a criminal conspiracy to defraud them of their rights and benefits resulting in Gary’s arrest and removal
What do shareholders think of this?
Thanks for posting. It’s exactly as anticipated. Auctus never agreed, insufficient shares available, floorless convertible, jury trial, proved damages. Next chapter; PCTL will be forced to abide to Auctus pretrial demands or risk punitive damages bankrupting this jalopy. I hope Auctus demands include Gary’s resignation

Chuckles, the only Infusion is more shares
What’s the 4th of July picnic going to produce?
majic water?
Really 8M infusion from LeadGreen?
How do you know this?
Seems to me it’s made up bullshit.
Always nice to post things based on DD
Sheesh
If over 100,000,000 warrants exercisable at $0.00035 were wrongfully blocked from exercise, especially back when PCTL shares were trading much higher, then there seems to potentially be a mountain of problems ahead for PCT and its shareholders
lolol. looks great.
Typical of how sloppy PCT handles its business and how derelict the CEO & PCTs BODs is, its not surprising PCT got hoodwinked on the settlement language
Auctus responds!!!
Doesnt look good for PCT
Stay tuned.
4th of July picnic menu soon to be Tweeted.
Rumor has it the Mrs will be serving a Nigerian fare.
- Jollof rice
-Pounded Yam
-Suya
And to wash it all down a nice tall glass of Kunu Gyada.
PCTL getting mauled again due to false information being circulated about a dreamed up $8m cash infusion lol
The more lies and BS used to manipulate investors, the further down this POS stock falls
What a disaster!!
This is how you supply DD "PROOF" that PCTL received $8million from LeadGreen Energy??
OMG. Houston, we have a problem in the lift off area!!!
How funny is $8m lol
Just think, an investor could buy the entire company for less than $8m lol
The BS stories I read here
I see more sidestepping and expense developments as PCTL tweets and adds the useless distraction of a blog site.
It has become obvious - that investors are this companies primary customer.
$8m lol
No wonder investors ditched PCT long ago. Constant BS being put out there.
Embarrassing
What’s the 4th of July picnic going to produce?
-Shipment of 100 units to Europe?
-$20M dollar infusion of cash from Exxon?
- Gary’s wife winning a blue ribbon for her mustard/ egg potato salad?
Sky’s the limit…
That’s no proof.
Substantiate the $8M .
Funny that IR knows nothing about it.
The proof of the $$$$$$$$$$$$ is that Maverick has started drilling,the oil sales'procceds will be split with PCTL,The Easter dinner is starting to bear fruits,do some DD yourself for a change !!!!!
Did Carole deliver the 6th gallon of the “million gallon order” to Maverick this week? Tia
Or quite likely considering the source that it is complete made up BS and has nothing to do with the PCT LTD CEO! This source has told us multiple times the CEO will not take his phone calls?
cuggegrosse
Quote: "Well,that's Carole for youy....Carole controls the phone calls that get in, the e-mails and the tweet account, my question is who gave her this power ???? No one else is available BECAUSE everything must go through her.."
Sounds like the CEO is back to his old ways of whispering BS to shareholders who repeat it publicly
The pathetic CEO just can't help himself
It matters None! This scam is Done period.
How is that an unknown individual posting misinformation on a chat board is somehow responsible for the CEO or the Companies "Credibility"??? Failing to provide any documentation for that claim means the claim is complete Bullshit!!
Washed my car with Nanobubles, stuff sucks
Nice Post. Its passed due time to hear a state of the company address and take questions from shareholders of record.
There is nothing more destructive to the credibility of this company than a poster making extravagant claims about funding $$$ and failing to provide any documentation for those claims.
Grieco's credibility has been in shreds for over 2 years and we can't afford any more false claims or wildyl erroneous projections about future revenues..
I've voted with my money and bought shares in this company, but that doesn't mean shareholders have to stand by and watch the company's credibility continue to crumble.
WOW another PCTL SHELLACKING! Down another 8%!!!
But things are going great, right? lol
Why doesnt PCT just call it a day?
Why keep milking this dead cow and giving investors false hope?
Havent they done enough damage?
So sad
No matter how many stupid tweets, meaningless PRs or lame podcasts PCT puts out, nothing is creating interest in this company or its stock
Too much BS over the years has caught up with PCT and its CEO.
Trust & credibility is ZERO!!
The writing is on the wall.. the financials, the stock performance, the wildly missed forecasts & promises
PCT and its CEO have performed like a joke.
No more IR firms to blame
No more alleged sabotaging employees to blame
No more Covid to blame
No more nothing to blame except the putrid performance of PCTs CEO & his blinders wearing/rubber stamp in the CEOs back pocket BODs
Has Maverick Infused their 5th gallon yet? Nanobuble scam
Neither PCT nor any of its subsidiaries received this mysterious $8m infusion. If they did, its a discloseable item
More BS about PCT
re: Documentation for your $8million cash infusion claim??
If true, that would be very major, wonderful news. Please supply some proof of that $8 million. Without proof, claims like that do nothing to help with the company's credibility and, in fact, are very harmful to the company in the eyes of investors and the broader Market.
So, we all await your proof.

I guess we are not with COVID yet.
--COVID cases are again surging in Europe, driven by the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of omicron that are deemed to be 10% to 15% more infectious than earlier variants and are spreading fast in Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, the Netherlands and Denmark.
In France, cases have climbed to 920 in a week from 224 on June 13, the Guardian reported, citing data from aggregator Our World in Data. Experts are now concerned that with few restrictions left in place and low booster take-up, the continent could be facing a steep increase in cases this summer.
Portugal has seen the biggest wave with infections per million residents at a seven-day average of 2,043 on Monday, the second highest new care rate in the world.
Health expert Dr. Damien Mascret told France 2 television that the BA.4 and BA.5 variants had led to significant excess deaths in Portugal, adding that hospital admissions in France were up 27% and intensive care admissions 17% in a week.
“The holiday season is about to start, almost all restrictions have been relaxed, things could take off again very fast indeed,” he said. “It’s concerning that only 29% of over-60s have so far got the fourth dose to which they are all entitled.”
Your post content is BS
The hate toward Gary Grieco is puipable YET MISPLACED.The outcome of the Easter dinner is here, it's called LeadGreen Energy Services which provided a cash infution of about 8 million and gave Maverick Energy Services the job of a 7 spot patterns that Maverick will drill and operate using PCTL Technologes,so the oil vertical has started bringing in cash,the hospitals are getting more interested and the UK will be pitching in very soon,so things are moving in the right direction and at 0.008-0.0084 WAS A GREAT BUY ON MY PART,IT'S MAKING ME MONEY ALREADY and if I count the 7.8 million that I BOUGHT BETWEEN 0.055-0.0075 I CAN ONLY HAVE BELLY LAUGHS WHEN i READ 24/7 EVERY DAY EVERY MONTH ALL THE LIES AND FALSEHOODS,THANKYOU VERY MUCH FOR THE LAUGHS..THE MONEY TRAIN HAS LEFT THE STATION WITH ME ON BOARD...LMAO BY THE WAY..MY TOTAL AVERAGE is now at 0.0103,THANKYOU VERY MUCH
Yes, and incredibly accurate as well.
And if it does to trial Auctus is screwed because they agreed to the negotiated settlement, cashed the check and received the shares without releasing the warrant. Not sure what they are hoping to achieve by dragging this out. They are probably hoping PCTL goes belly up before a judge or jury rules against them. I’m sure there are many other companies Auctus has dealt with in the past that just rolled over or went away…PCTL is different and will cost them money in court cost and damages. It’s the game Auctus plays—win most, lose a few. Auctus will lose this one.
No you will be upset with the outcome:)

Our products (equipment) and solutions (Hydrolyte® and Catholyte Free®) are designed to take an environmentally conscious approach to combat the spread of infectious disease in the healthcare and Cleaning/Sanitation industries, as well as contributing to the sustainability of global natural resources in the agriculture markets.
Our technology produces an effective pre-determined PPM Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) solution that is created through an electrolytic process called Electro-Chemical Activation (ECA). It occurs by temporarily changing the makeup of water, bypassing weak salt brine through an electrolytic cell, and temporarily changing the properties of the salt water into a powerful oxidizing agent, exhibiting highly effective antimicrobial properties.
Many billions of dollars a year are spent by individuals, organizations, and the health care system to treat people who get infectious diseases caused by microbes including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. With the advent of adaptive and ever more dangerous microorganisms called “superbugs”, the danger of acquiring life-threatening infections is real and growing. This danger affects everyone anytime they are in space where people gather, any microbe contaminating that space is a possible source of infection. With American’s spending 20 or more hours a day indoors, much of it in spaces that are not cleaned and sanitized/ disinfected properly, the threat of infection is constant, growing, and dangerous, particularly to our vulnerable populations of the very young, elderly and infirm.
Infectious diseases were associated with an economic burden of over $120 billion in the U.S. in 2014. Antibiotic-resistant infections cost Americans $20 billion in direct medical costs and $35 billion in lost productivity in 2014. A particularly acute problem is Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) which are increasingly hard to kill or treat effectively. As a result, doctors struggle to contain, fight and cure increasingly antibiotic-resistant infections such as MRSA, and C. Diff. The more antibiotics, medicines, pesticides and disinfectants are used to kill them, the quicker the microorganisms adapt, becoming ever stronger and more drug-resistant. Researchers estimate that, if the U.S. could reduce the number of hospital-acquired infections by 20%, healthcare providers would save nearly $7 billion per year. Insurance companies are beginning to deny coverage for treatment of HAIs, forcing hospitals to self-insure. This will create an immense financial and risk-management burden on hospitals, long-term medical, rehabilitation, and assisted living facilities.
Overcoming the problem of microbial contamination and infectious disease can be straightforward. It requires proper products, equipment, protocols, education, and training for comprehensive and reliable cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting solutions.PCT Corp. offers these with its comprehensive “Green Cleaning” and Infection Control Systems. Infectious microbes cannot develop resistance to the cleaning and sanitizing products PCT Corp. uses and they are much less toxic to humans or pets than traditional agents such as bleach and ammonia.
The products are used through a commercially-ready, patented, integrated product and technology solution for total facility cleaning and sanitizing. This system and solution, The PCT Annihilyzer® Infection Control System, was specifically designed for use in hospitals, assisted living and nursing homes, and other large facilities. In various configurations, the solution system can be deployed in urgent care centers, medical, dental, and veterinary practices, and other health care facilities. A complete and custom turn-key cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfection program solution can be provided to each facility. It is also adaptable to deployment in schools, prisons, hotels, and many other facilities.
PCT has launched a major marketing and sales effort in the hospital facilities market and The PCT Annihilyzer® System has now been deployed in several hospitals in the eastern U.S.

Nano-Catholyte treated oil on its way to an oil refinery
Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) — also known as a nosocomial infection — is an infection that is contracted from the environment or staff of a healthcare facility. It can be spread in the hospital environment, nursing home environment, rehabilitation facility, clinic, or other clinical settings. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated roughly 1.7 million hospital-associated infections, from all types of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi combined, cause or contribute to 99,000 deaths each year.
Our goal is to provide solutions to this issue, by outfitting a healthcare setting with the technology and guidance needed to effectively get the job done - all through a dedicated partnership to prevent and eradicate the spread of infectious disease.
Oil and Gas:
Waste Water Treatment
Our system helps to decontaminate “frac” water for reuse in the fracking process, saving the industry millions of dollars and preserving the world’s water supply. Some of the many benefits of our system/process include: Elimination of highly toxic chemicals currently used for decontamination, reduced negative environmental impact, reduced recovery costs and potentially opening new areas for oil and gas retrieval.

In other areas in the gas and oil industry that presents a challenge is in treating existing wells for the presence of H2S of hydrogen sulfide. H2S is a large and growing problem in the industry, due to its continued introduction of bacteria in the fracking process. H2S causes increased production costs. Our solutions reduce those costs and reduce the environmental impact.
Agriculture:
In the agriculture world, through USDA grants and multiple studies by universities around the world, Hypochlorous acid solutions have been tested and proven effective against yield-reducing crop pathogens in post-harvest applications to include sanitizing at point of harvest, point of packing and points of sale.
We are hoping to help stop these crop-devastating pathogens with our hypochlorous solutions that are known to be environmentally responsible and designed to improve and maintain crop yields, to produce a healthier overall harvest.
School Systems:
Dedicated to the success of students, schools are faced with a multitude of challenges to reach their goal of providing a solid education and an environment for healthy growth. To add to the list of responsibilities of school administrators, the battle of keeping absenteeism down, preventing the spread of infectious disease and keeping a clean environment bears a heavy load. Not only are the traditional cleaning products losing their effectiveness - thus allowing drug/antimicrobial resistant pathogens to wreak havoc - they are also polluting the indoor air with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are known to cause respiratory-related issues, headaches and other ailments.
By providing daycare facilities, school systems and universities with a better alternative to poisonous, caustic chemical cleaning/antimicrobial agents, we’re providing a more productive environment. Not only are you killing germs with a product that eradicates them completely - keeping them from becoming resistant - you’re doing so with a product that doesn’t cause harm to the user, students or faculty.
Hotel and Tourism:
Similar to the healthcare environment, the hotel and tourism industry (i.e resorts, airports, cruise ships, etc.) are subject to communicable diseases. In the healthcare market, they are referred to as Hospital-Acquired Infections/Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) and in the hotel and tourism industry, they are known as Community-Acquired Infections. With as many different people traveling through these areas, from all sorts of countries and carrying various types of ailments or pathogens with them, consider the potential for an uncontrollable spread of these germs.
Outbreaks are typically caused by lack of proper processes and/or a failing product. Our ECA technology is designed to help anyone in the industry to get a grip on the issue and succeed at their main goal: providing an awesome experience for their guests.
Food Service/Production:
Our sanitizer strength solution meets the requirement of the FDA and USDA, to be a non-rinse sanitizing agent. In the world of dealing with food, why not use a product that actually kills food-borne pathogens - without containing any toxic chemicals that would harm the quality of the product?
Whether you’re dealing with meat, poultry or just need to maintain a facility’s defense against Salmonella/E. coli, contact us about using our solutions
Forget harsh, toxic chemicals. Our process only requires salt, water and electricity to produce two products –a chlorine-based antimicrobial agent and an excellent degreasing cleaner.
Our technology produces an effective variable PPM hypochlorous acid solution that is created through an electrolytic process called Electro-Chemical Activation (ECA). It occurs by temporarily modifying the properties of water, by passing weak salt brine through an electrolytic cell and temporarily changing the properties of the salt water into a powerful oxidizing agent exhibiting highly effective antimicrobial properties.
Catholyte or sodium hydroxide, is an aqueous solution that is the natural byproduct of the electrolysis process, and is used to reduce microbe contamination and soil loads that can harbor germs on hard surfaces.
Catholyte is also a very effective degreaser and is a great option to safely clean floors without hazardous fumes, thus improving indoor air quality.
