You better buy some shares before they get too high. Feed the Beast!
Beautiful day in Niagara Falls, NY. Home of JBII beasts. I advise all to pay attention closely. Don't be distracted, or allow yourself to be misled.
Opportunity is slipping away.
As always, accumulating and happy to be long.

I guess this is your wake up call...
Great day to be a jbi shareholder.
National news with probably more to come
2 processors getting fed plastic like the beasts that that are.
Processor number 3 is expected to be finished soon.
All this equates to pure satisfaction as a shareholder.
As cramer would say. Buy buy buy!

Heard on Morning Edition
March 19, 2012DAVID GREENE, HOST:
A new and possibly more environmentally friendly way to produce oil: it involves plastic - yes, like those soda bottles you discard.
Only 7 percent of plastic waste in the U.S. is recycled each year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Well, now a startup company in Niagara Falls says it can increase that amount while also reducing the country's dependence on foreign oil.
From member station WBFO, Daniel Robison has more.
(SOUNDBITE OF MACHINERY)
DANIEL ROBISON, BYLINE: This machine's known as the plastic-eating monster. Thousands of pounds of shredded milk jugs, water bottles and grocery bags tumble into a large tank where it's melted together and vaporized. This waste comes from landfills and dumps from all over the United States.
JOHN BORDYNUIK: Basically, they've been mining their piles for us and sending them here.
ROBISON: John Bordynuik runs his namesake company, JBI, Inc. He's invented a process that converts plastic into oil by rearranging its hydrocarbon chains. According to tests by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, JBI's patented technology is efficient, with close to 90 percent of plastics coming out as fuel. Bordynuik says that makes the case for this kind of recycling to go mainstream.
BORDYNUIK: When there have been attempts in the past to make fuel from plastic, it's been a low quality, low flashpoint, kind of sludgy. In this case here, we're making a very highly refined, consistent product that's within specifications of any standardized fuel.
ROBISON: JBI executive Bob Molodynia points to a spout at the other end of the plastic-eating machine dripping a thin, brown liquid.
BOB MOLODYNIA: You could tap this right now, and this is ready to go. That's a number six fuel. That's what a lot of like U.S. Steel uses, a lot of major companies. That's what they pay the big bucks for, right there.
ROBISON: Each barrel of oil costs about $10 to produce, which JBI can sell for around $100 through a national distributor. The young company is already producing a few thousand gallons of oil a day. They've signed lucrative deals to set up operations next to companies with large volumes of plastic waste. But in its rush to grow, JBI has been accused by the SEC of overvaluing some of its assets in order to raise more funds. And John Bordynuik says it's been hard to find acceptance from potential oil buyers because JBI's product has been dubbed a green fuel.
BORDYNUIK: We don't make a synthetic other product that has problems. We make an in-spec fuel just like everyone else. In fact, if anything, the word "alternative" has a stigma attached to it, more so because of prior attempts.
ROBISON: If JBI has its way, plastics will become a significant source of domestic fuel that reduces the country's dependence on foreign oil. But just how green is JBI's recycling when it produces a fossil fuel that pollutes just like any other?
CARSON MAXTED: To enter themselves into this industry, I think that they've all bought into the idea of producing a fuel.
ROBISON: Carson Maxted is with Resource Recycling, the plastic recycling industry's trade journal. He's not sure whether converting plastic to oil can be considered recycling or even environmentally-friendly. But he says JBI's methods can co-exist and even complement current recycling practices.
MAXTED: So they're getting value from something that would otherwise go into the landfill, because the plastics, most of them are looking for, the plastics that are either not easily recycled. They're of low quality or of mixed plastic types, or that they're dirty, things that wouldn't be accepted into a recycler.
ROBISON: And since there's no lack of plastic supply or demand for oil, Maxted says this technology has the potential to transform both industries.

Boots on the ground are all saying that's NOW.
Interesting comment found elsewhere on the internet:
>>>> The second plastic to oil machine is operating. 3 tankers shipped a week since operational. No tankers or fuel inbound. As I stated in my prior post, fuel transportation is a small world. <<<<
Interesting about Agigoo -- they got a many year headstart and didn't get a lick of funding until they started selling some tankers. Now we've advanced to Agigoo's stage and more.
Me thinks all heaven is going to break loose. Whales of all sorts love a good environmental clean-up story that makes money and will be lining up in droves to help out now that proof of concept is official.

that is sooooooo 3 years ago :)
Great video right!? It showed the new P20 machines making clean desired fuel that has been paid for by OTC shareholders and pipe investors who believe in this spectacular company.
It is my understanding that only smart people are shareholders and or partners with JBII....

Really REAL!
"This could be the final piece of the sustainability puzzle for plastics"
Man I do love that quote at the very end of the Discovery Channel video!!
Wake me up when they are running these things 24x7...
No it is not. I work in Project Controls. Contols is a concept. It does not matter what systems the financials are runnning on. And this is not a huge company. Maybe if they had to implement SAP or something, one could make this excuse. But, excuse me... JBI is 50 employees or so? ALmost anything will do.
THey are talking about Cost Control.
Means people are spending money left right and center with no approvals.
By my readin of the para, they were late because mistakes were made and transactions had to be recoreded late. Also, the results may be wrong now or in the future for the same reasons.
I bet there was alot of internal discussion between JBI and the CFO over that...
pristine indeed. 'internal controls' is cpaspeak for 'please upgrade your computer equipment' - BFD
the financial statements themselves were audited and opined they were PERFECT
jbi isn't spending anything of the sort. most of that was noncash costs, one timers, development costs, stack test, and pakit. they no longer own pakit so its incorrect to include all that going forward. operating cash flow is maybe 400k a month which is less than what 1 processor can make.
They will settle but not for that list of garbage :) JBII will be fined, nothing will happen to the company or its personnel and once that fiasco is over with, JBI can direct its full attention to building processors for its partners starting off with Rock Tenn
Pristine Auditor Report? hardly

"....A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, the Company did not maintain effective control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 due to pervasive control deficiencies and material weaknesses. The existence of pervasive control deficiencies and material weaknesses impair the effectiveness of other controls by rendering their design ineffective or by keeping them from operating effectively. The Company’s material weaknesses are a result of a lack of policies and procedures, with the associated internal controls, to appropriately address entity level matters. Management concluded that the lack of adherence to the Board of Directors’ policies and more specifically, the Audit Committee Charter, which requires a three member committee with one member qualified as a “financial expert”, caused a failure at the entity level for proper governance over the Company’s financial reporting environment. The lack of oversight on the Company’s routine transactions, as well as a sufficient number of qualified personnel to timely account for such transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP resulted in the recording of numerous post-closing and late adjusting journal entries during the quarterly reviews and delayed the financial statement closing process for the fiscal year ended 2011.
These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2011 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 15, 2012, on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, The Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)...."
the auditor agreed 100% with jbi's financials are absolutely pristine actually:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JBI, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
JBII is losing at least $1,250,000 per month
according to the latest 10K.
Each of the thousands of barrels you cite has historically been sold at a huge overall loss
2011 Plastic to Oil Sales $ 288,442 (inc sales of waste paper)
2011 Net (Loss) from Continuing Operations -$15,119,658
NET LOSS -$18,259,363
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1381105/000121390012001206/f10k2011_jbi.htm
JBII is making and selling thousands of barrels of fuel as I type to you.
I personally find that quite annoying. :)
Anyway, I don't know why some funds invested in Agilyx. Maybe they like toxic fumes and gas masks, I don't know, but none of them invested very much and perhaps they got venture capitalist size stakes that gives them majority of the company if they ever go public and for less than $2 million a piece. However, what I do know is that JBII has at least "3 very high net worth individuals" and at least one of them, a world famous billionaire, was at the last annual shareholder meeting with around 500 witnesses. It was also mentioned at that same shareholder meeting that JBII had "billion dollar conglomerates" invested. Now I have no idea what the heaven that means, but it sure sounds like institutional support to me, and clearly not doing it for publicity (aka greenwashing as Waste Management are known to do) but are doing so for actual investment purposes without the benefit of being venture capital.
But what do I know? I'm the dummy who thought waste plastic was free even though you can find a bucket of it for $650/ton in Iceland through alibaba.com even though over 12 million tons of argiculutral plastic alone are landfilled annually in the USA alone because there's no viable way to recycle it.
They were repeated for each defendant.
There are legal language requirements that must be followed.
It's pretty standard.

Communication
Third Oak Associates offers reputation management and communication services across organizations: communication planning, brand development, marketing, corporate, community and PR communications, media relations, crisis and issues media training. We offer capability from program management to executive coaching. Here are a few of our beliefs about communications:
This is not easy. Look how much truly dreadful communication there is in the world despite how important we all say it is. Interpersonal, professional, corporate, public — all forms of communication are challenging. Acknowledging the challenge means you will apply an appropriate level of resources.
Anyone can do it well. Professional communicators cringe when they hear this, but although it is a challenge, the process behind communicating well is simple and anyone and any organization can improve their communication dramatically and in a hurry. Not everyone can write a compelling op-ed column, but everyone can communicate a lot better with a little bit of thought and the right tools.
Communication rewards the communicator. Good communication is not its own reward (although it can be gratifying indeed). Communicating well delivers real, meaningful results.
Listening is the foundation. Here's the secret to all great communications; at some point in the process, somebody listened well. Great communications have the audience in mind.
Advocacy
There are many ways to fail when an organization advocates for policy or regulatory change or in favor of the status quo, and there are some foundations for success. The cost of poor quality is extremely high in the advocacy arena, so it is worth doing right. These are some of the fundamentals that drive successful advocacy:
Be honest. If you aren't, stop right now. (And don't call Third Oak Associates. Thank you.)
Be an expert. If you aren't, you can rent one. There are experts available no matter what the subject area.
Be informed about the process. If you aren't, lots of people are. They can help you get your message into the right channels at the right time.
Be creative. Help is available. Advocacy is all about the art of the possible. Imagination and diverse thinking are your friends. Find a win for the other side too.
Be reasonable. Audacious targets and timelines are for your marketing program.
Be empathetic. Your story is important and you believe it and care about it. But those group you are trying to influence have jobs to do and stakeholders other than you. People ultimately make the choices. Relationships are key so really listen to understand the perspective and drivers of others.

A SEC attorney used the word 'purported' in a Federal Fraud case
The company's own auditor used the words 'adverse opinion' in their audit.
The company management used the words 'We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if in the past undiscovered failures of internal controls exist'
Those are strong words
LoL. I'm in complete agreement. I went thru it carefully to see how many "infractions" were repeated.
BTW any info on your complaint to the OIG?
Darn IPad auto correct...lol
If they have courted IB's they sure have done a poor job of it. As obviously they could not even hook any. I guess the IBs are mostly wise enough to see the too good to be true story and laughable antics.
That is something that should make anyone think. Why do companies like Agylix get money from institutional investors and JBII does not? With the claims by JBII being to be so much better in every aspect? Are all those fund managers and large companies stupid or do they understand something that people who believe the JBII story don't?
i have a tough time believing that
that sec complaint was actually
*authored* by a *purported* sec employee
it's easy to DD prior complaints within the
boston office and do some comparisons
there aren't any quite as >> er >> wordy
essentially stating the same *info* 20 times over
it struck me as odd from the git go >> almost as if
compensated by the word written
just another oddity in amongst a few others where
the sec and jbi and domark are concerned

Good point , maybe JBI no longer is interested in courting the big investment bankers.
Perhaps the funding issues are already in process.
I re-read the complaint today. What I find odd is that the complaint uses the word purported when describing p2O. Maybe, Martin Healy needs to visit the plant and check out the processor running and producing spec fuels. There is nothing purported about the machines. They are real.
This is not a stock selling scam as many wish to believe, but an industry and company about to become large.
JBI is in current commercial fuel production. They have 2 processors operating. We will find out at what rate over the next coming quarters.
There is evidence that both processors are converting 2000 pounds of plastic each hour at an 86.7% conversion rate.
How many days has JBII traded in the pennies in the last 52 weeks? In case you don't know JBI takes unwashed waste plastic and converts it into spec fuels.
I would call the estimation of future oil prices useful information pertaining to a fuel company.
Define the output and duration of JBI's 'commercial operation'
When did commercial operation start?
How much fuel has been produced?
No, I'm thinking more along these lines in regards to potential SEC penalties for JBI & JB
"...realizing illicit profits of approximately $270,000 in two personal trading accounts.

Notice the 1) Forfeiture : 2) Disgorgement : 3) prejudgement interest : 4) the penny stock bar and : 5) his consent rather a trial
And, before you go all technical on me I understand that the cases are somewhat different, but so is the Xerox case you cited.
Thanks for the report... Always appreciate our locals giving us updates. Jbi lookin real good!
I dunno, what would you call it to post how oil is gonna hit $200 a barrel on a penny stock board, huh.
JBI continues to convert plastic to fuel. More trucks left the plant today. Another day in the life of a progressive company making a difference. Get rid of the plastic waste and convert it to re-usable fuel. Now that's what I call a win/win for all!
Can you disprove the URS contract? By all means ask him your question. (Hint: leave the Honest and Juicy part out you m get an answer!)
You seem to have mis-understood part of my question: "What companies..." not "What type of companies...". I was hoping that you could cite an example or two of companies that publish URS type audits.
our baby is finally making it on t.v
so exciting...this yr is gonna mark the turning point for the company....need some patience here....good things are slowly happening
"(H)ere's to proc no 3 8k'd by JBI's mgmt." AMEN!
Take those pathetically weak allegations to Court and see where you come out....LOL....!!!!!....Not going to happen.....Those items are of no significance from here on out, where JBI is concerned.
Everyone already knows that JBI's P2O process is proven, viable, and certified to every possible, immaginable standard....There's been no "hold-up"......LOL!!!!!!!.....AND NOW,,,,,,producing that same certified fuel at astounding rates....!!!!......Just ratein'...
agreed jbi is a stock short selling scam since my buys at 60 cents per share. how's that working out for them?
These are valid questions. You should stand up at the AGM and ask them. Will you do that? If not, why not? As a shareholder, you have that right.
I don't think the AGM has been scheduled yet, but a date should be forthcoming shortly.
Did anyone notice on the video John was standing along side a processor that had insulation wrapped around it?
That had to have been #1 spitting out fuel.
For we know that #2 has no insulation.
Here's some TRUTH...JBI has 2 machines in full commercial production spewing out fuel....that's all the truth i need to know....times have changed and the past is unchangeable and irrelevant....just truthin'
So we should ask the CEO if his comments are "Honest John" or "Juicy John" in nature. The CEO said he will release them. Did he not tell the truth in 2010 about production? In answer to your question, I'd say any public company wanting investor dollars and more importantly any company who promises to do something should keep their word and fulfill his obligations. If JBII was not producing "fuel" at the time of the presentation then ....
He said he signed a contract with URS. Shouldn't that be the truth?
absolutely an understatement :)
just watched the discovery channel segment
loved the terms used >> loved the interest

be interesting watching this segment percolate

Reverse order: 1. For all practical purposes comercial production has just begun. We may see URS audit numbers yet.
2. I have owned and followed JBI since before the spike to $7. I likely did see the presentation, but I am not going to spend much time hunting something down from 2010. A link would help.
3. You did not answer my question: What companies make that type of audit public?
Proof that JBI is a stock selling scam? Sure.
Well, since Juicy Johnny has a bad habit of lying in his SEC filings, I hate to use this as "proof" of anything.
But until the SEC and the DOJ get done with their investigations, this is the best I can do:
They issued 20 million shares in just the past 12 months or so.
03/19/2012 - 73,049,709 shares outstanding
03/31/2011 - 54,611,184 shares outstanding

Have you had a chance to listen to the presentation? He said he will be releasing audited production numbers. I doubt very much if he even has a contract with URS . I've seen nothing in any filing to substantiate his claim. Why wouldn't "Honest John" release the numbers so everyone would know the process is viable? I can only think of one reason and it's not good. He seems to know that investors want to see the numbers and "What the machine can do" before they invest so what's the hold-up?
And I so love the fact of the folks that it is annoying!
