Hello Cash. Do you have an open link to Dennis’s active court Doc that I can read?
I’ve always been curious about Blum. How he’s gone unscathed for so long. I agree with you, that everyone involved in every one of these companies had a hand in deception and thievery. I hope when it’s all said and done, that no one goes unscathed.
All of these perps, including Blum, go back a long way. POTN and the related companies involved were organized as a scam from the start. The excessive convertible debt structure and reliance on (conflicted) sister companies should have been enough for me to stay away. Lesson learned. But I don’t believe any of them are innocent, not even the ones not arrested.
I checked Ruggeri’s docket and he’s still listed as a co-defendant charged with four counts of wire and securities fraud and conspiracy. Next update is scheduled for 7/18. What an utterly careless decision by POTN to keep him on the payroll. It baffles the mind!
Thanks, got it. As I said, I’m sure the government finds nothing wrong with legitimate work for income, but it seems totally crazy and careless for this company to continue to have a relationship with Ruggeri, or anyone else connected to this case. Seriously, they can’t find a paralegal to do business filings? Or, they can’t find anyone that knows all about the shady dealings and fu@kery. Wow!
His case is in a new docket. By virtue of his cooperation and/or testimony he can no longer be part of the case with the other 6 defendants. His case is: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63312265/united-states-v-taieb/
Could you send me a link or screenshot of the filing? I’m not able to dig at the moment. I don’t believe the gov will find anything wrong with Ruggeri continuing to work for companies with ties to the case for legitimate income, especially since Hagen has resigned, but I’m still interested to see the filing.
Having said that, it seems very careless with current management here continuing to have ties with named subjects of a federal investigation.
I’ll try to log into the court tonight to see if anything has changed with Ruggeri.
Hello again CB. Love your dedication to the cause providing info.
Question - I did not read anywhere as to him agreeing to cooperate and turn evidence against CV or any others that were indicted in this case?
Also, I noticed that the individual who filed the form on the SOS of Colorado to change the company Name is none other than Conspirator # 3 Mr Dennis Ruggieri (not sure I am spelling the name correctly). Any ideas how this can be possible to be allowed or is he no longer being charged?
Her name appears in at least half the companies in question (that I recall). They’ve picked through all these financial reports going back years with a flea comb. If they can prove wrongdoing, then they’ll charge her sooner or later.
The plea agreement always references to “and others” or “co-conspirators”.
Example from his agreement (defendant is Taieb):
Defendant, Vaccaro, Svorai, and others, sold, at a discount, large blocks of shares in the Manipulated Public Companies to co-conspirators who were aware the stock was manipulated in order for the co-conspirators to profit when the stocks were promoted and for the Defendants to receive payment for the shares upfront.
I wonder if the government can be that blind to not know about the Preferred Shares held in his daughters name and the 64+ million additional shares as well…. I find that obscene to say the least.
I’m pretty sure any shares connected directly or indirectly to this criminal syndicate is frozen. She might very well be a target for all we know.
Because the plea is not about her only him.
I wonder why all the Preferred Shares that are in his daughters name is not mentioned in this Plea Agreement?
Eli Taieb has cut a plea deal and is now a cooperating witness, and had several charges cut down to a single count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud.
Today, we got a glimpse of his forfeiture and it’s hefty considering he’s cooperating, and turning on Vaccaro et al.
To sum it up:
~ $300k for two watches
~ 280k for two cars — Tesla and Bentley
~ $8k in cash they seized on the day of the raid
~ $2.2M with liens on two properties
Totaling just under $3M
I wonder how many millions he managed to hide.
Its a whole lot worse than righting the ship. The financials are a ship wreck and the pirates are still in charge of the rotten remains. The website is an illusion intended to beguile. Naming the company "Rose" doesn't change the smell or death - its just another ruse.
Minutes of proceedings [non-document] before Judge Solomon Oliver, Jr.A Telephonic Pretrial Conference as to Charles Vaccaro (1), Dror Svorai (2), Dennis Ruggeri (3), Kevin Hagen (4), Gary Berlly (5), Yosef Biton (6) was held on 6/1/2022 with counsel for the parties. AUSAs Brad Beeson and James Morford appeared on behalf of the government Attorneys Randy Zelin, Robert Amsel, Edward Mullin, Justin Roberts and Mark Hunter appeared for their respective clients. Mr. Zelin also appeared on behalf of Michael Orenstein for Mr. Hagen. Defendant Vaccaro was also present on the call. The government advised that reverse proffers have been held with counsel for most of the defendants and that the inspection of Mr. Vaccaro's boat has taken place. Defense counsel for Mr. Vaccaro shall advise the court within 14 days whether the Motion for Hearing on Physical Damages (ECF 133) will be withdrawn, otherwise the court will rule upon the motion. Counsel present made a joint motion to continue for approximately 45 days in order to continue discussions toward resolution of this matter, and to complete the remaining reverse proffers, which the court grants and finds, under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B), the ends of justice served by continuance of trial outweigh the best interests of the public and the Defendants in a speedy trial. A Telephonic Pretrial Conference is set for 7/18/2022 at 11:30 AM before Judge Solomon Oliver Jr. The court's dial-in information will be issued separately.(Court Reporter Lance Boardman) Time: 30 minutes. (R,Sh) (Entered: 06/01/2022)
There's no coming back from the expert market, expect a final revocation for this scam.
I would say so, but depends if they actually do all the filings that are missing. They actually did hire a new audit committee one of the recent filings said. So let see if they start “Righting the Ship”…
I would go with "not" lol.
The name change should be good for a penny right? Maybe not...
Any more information on name change or court case?
Hope he’s enjoying our money for now. ????
Back when I owned, I used their products. They were good. From what my take is, they exaggerated their sales volume?
Does anyone no when the next Court activity is happening?
I hope no one falls for this scam again!
Wow this stock in my past is looking pretty weak. :(

PotNetwork Holdings, Inc. (POTN) Will Change Its Name to “Diamond Wellness Holdings, Inc.”
May 25, 2022
Wholly-owned subsidiary, First Capital Venture Co., also plans to change its name to “Diamond Wellness, Inc.”
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida – May 26, 2022 – PotNetwork Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink: POTN) (the “Company”) announced today that on May 5, 2022, it had filed a “Pre 14C” (a draft “Information Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in order to change its name to “Diamond Wellness Holdings, Inc.” (the “Name Change”). Following the required 10-day SEC comment period, the Company has filed with the SEC the final version of the Information Statement on form DEF 14C and is posting this release and a formal notice of the Name Change on its website. After a mandatory 20-day waiting period, the Company will then file in Colorado, its State of incorporation, an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation implementing the Name Change.
Promptly afterward, the Company will request a change of its name and trading symbol on the OTC Market via a corporate action request to be submitted to the Financial Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).
First Capital Venture Co., the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, plans to also change its name for consistency, changing its name to “Diamond Wellness, Inc.”
“These corporate actions reflect the singular focus of the Company on its primary revenue-generating business, Diamond CBD,” stated Sohail Quraeshi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “And they are intended to signal to the market that the Company is evolving aggressively to meet the challenges of today’s rapidly changing market.”
“To help us meet this challenge, in February, the Company expanded its Board of Directors by adding three outside directors and appointing its first audit committee of the Board,” he added. “The Corporation will also be shutting down the website, PotNetwork.com, a news and information site, in order to solely focus on its Diamond CBD business, which continues to grow. In connection with the website shutdown, the Company will also shut down and dissolve its subsidiary, PotNetwork Media Group, Inc. This website domain, PotNetwork.com, will be put up for sale.”
Wash, rinse, repeat. Changing the name, to lure in more unsuspecting victims.

What’s more, for orders above $100, there’s express shipping, plus you can decide to register on the site to get 70% OFF. Now enough about this brand’s stats; it’s the CBD and hemp products that we really care about.

Delta-8 THC Products Are Federally Legal Just Like Hemp, Appeals Court Rules
Huge News for the Hemp Industry. POTN produces lot's of Delta 8 products!
The federal legalization of hemp through the 2018 Farm Bill removed restrictions on a wide range of molecules produced by the cannabis plant—including, a new court ruling says, the psychoactive cannabinoid delta-8 THC.
A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit wrote in an opinion published Thursday that products containing delta-8 THC are generally legal because federal law defines hemp as “any part of” the cannabis plant, including “all derivatives, extracts, [and] cannabinoids,” that contains less than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC by weight.
The law, the court said in the 3-0 ruling, “is silent with regard to delta-8 THC.”
Delta-9 THC, often referred to simply as THC, is the most abundant psychoactive cannabinoid in marijuana and remains federally illegal, classified as a Schedule I controlled substance. By contrast, Delta-8 THC typically occurs in only trace amounts in the cannabis plant.
Current cultivation and manufacturing techniques, however, allow for so-called minor cannabinoids to be concentrated from hemp plants and refined into consumer products. And delta-8 THC products have surged in popularity in recent years, especially in states where marijuana remains illegal.
Like its more famous counterpart, delta-8 THC also has psychoactive properties, although proponents say the experience is generally more subdued and has gentler side effects than delta-9 THC. Health officials and even some advocates of marijuana legalization, however, say far less is known about the health impacts or potential risks of delta-8 THC.
The Ninth Circuit panel, for its part, noted that although delta-8 THC has “psychoactive and intoxicating effects,” it falls within federal law’s definition of hemp and is therefore legal.
“Regardless of the wisdom of legalizing delta-8 THC products, this Court will not substitute its own policy judgment for that of Congress,” Judge D. Michael Fisher wrote for the three-judge panel, which also included Judges Andrew Kleinfeld and Mark Bennett. All three were appointed by Republican presidents.
If lawmakers inadvertently created a loophole and didn’t intend to legalize psychoactive substances such as delta-8 THC, Fisher said, “then it is for Congress to fix its mistake.”
Oral argument in the case took place in March.

Are there any updates on the court case?
Yes, no one knows since they have not reported anything since the indictment of all the criminals. But hopefully once the case is completed, and the pricks get what is coming to them, I believe the company will succeed since Diamond CBD’s gummy line has always been very good. So once the case is over, I believe the company can proceed and succeed going forward - Especially if they get into the THC arena in my opinion.
How would anyone know? Last report was horrendous. $5 in trades today was $5 too much.
From all the products they have continuously been selling...
How do they have the money to expand anything??
Well let’s see if they can actually clean up the company financials and become current.
One thing I noticed is that they finally posted the Share count held at DTC which was never reported prior....

Diamond Expands Product Offering With Launch of THC Cartridges
Delta 8 carts, Delta 10 carts, HHC carts and more offer exciting new strains and flavors
FT LAUDERDALE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 13, 2022 / Diamond CBD ("Diamond"), one of the largest cannabis retailers in the United States, has announced the launch of various THC products. Diamond has introduced vaping cartridges in Delta 8-THC, Delta 10-THC, HHC, and THC-O varieties. Consumers have an extensive choice of strains from which to choose, offering them a wide variety of flavors and terpene profiles.
Diamond's newly released line of Delta 8 cartridges is geared toward satisfying consumers and providing them with the desired effects. Safe, premium distillate carts without additives or carcinogens. Delta 8 has been the newest trend in the cannabis industry.
"For Delta 8, it's basically like when CBD was introduced into the consumer market several years ago, with widespread excitement and potential for a milder, smoother relaxing effect," said Diamond President, Kevin Hagen.
As an industry innovator and marketing leader in the ever growing CBD world, Diamond chose to experiment on their own. Delta-8 THC is being introduced into the company's vaping products, along with several other psychoactive ingredients. With the introduction of Delta 10 cartridges, in addition to HHC cartridges and THC-O cartridges, Diamond stepped up its product portfolio.
A Multitude of Strains To Choose From
You should consider the effect you wish to obtain, the conditions you feel, as well as the flavors and odors that are most enjoyable to you when selecting your next favorite strain. It is advisable to experiment with many strains to determine what you prefer and enjoy.
Some of the introduced strains are:
Pineapple Express
Wedding Cake
Blue Dream
Grand Daddy Purple
Maui Wowie
Sour Diesel
Gorilla Glue
Durban Poison
& many more
Scientifically Formulated for Perfection
Diamond CBD employs a well-credentialed team of professionals, scientists, and researchers who come together to produce ideal cannabinoids for consumer use. Whether consumers are looking for energy and focus from Delta 10, relaxation and calm from Delta 8, or the wellness benefits of CBD, they'll find just the right ratio of cannabinoids in every cart. From Delta 8 to THC-O and more, each compound is bred for its genetics and terpenes and hand-produced to have the perfect formulation. Moreover, each strain has an ideal balance of aroma, scent, and flavor to give every puff a sweet taste making Diamond CBD the only way to cap off a long day.
Even if all the trades were buys that would only be $9 buys. Big spenders, I hope they make a fortune.
Fools keep wasting money dreaming of the elusive 10-20-50 bagger this sure isn't it!@
Up 100% on $82 in volume. She's a beast, lol
Haha seeing these scumbags in handcuffs is a delicious treat
