He means the next week

[RickNagra]

New products and services coming this week. Will print $2 or more. Just heard through my secret sources. Here we go folks.

[B1gbtv001]

My family trust doesn't want to get involved. Understand?

[B1gbtv001]

My company was a start up but had big name clients. I filed a sample of client contracts into evidence before the hearing.

[Kool Aid Man]

Egg-zackley...he has a modern Michelangelo knock-off bronze of "Lorenzo de Medici" (1 of 50 copies) sitting on a table in his rented house. The "National Institute of Appraisers" that he and his Burleson buddies rely on as their authority of value decreed this brown bass boat anchor had a "replacement value" of (*cough coooooouuuuuugggh*) "$185,000.00" back in 2011. That's in addition to the 400 "Sky Jones" paintings Eddie has assured investors are worth "$50,000.00 each."

Seems he's selectively destitute when convenient. Either these things are worth what he claims or they're not...or not even close. So which is it?

[Soapboxmom]

With Eddie Vakser's and Protek Capitol's totally fruity, little lawsuit, he may have most unwittingly put himself in real danger of getting some real attention from the authorities.

He can't be fabulously wealthy with billions of art one moment and at the same time to poor to pay for competency evaluations for his defendant. The SEC filings for most of his scam tickers show strings of zeroes while at the same time he is bragging of billions in art. Whoooooooops!

[Soapboxmom]

Some light reading for Vakser:

https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/fraudulent-transfers-under-texas-law-1284897/

And, as a side note. Mr. Mezey was asked by the judge to give Daniel Garrigan (Vakser's shady attorney) the name of the doc that did his most recent evaluation. The consensus was that particular doc could not be used, but might have names of other docs in that part of Florida that would be acceptable to the court.

This case is going to drag on endlessly and the Plaintiff's attorney fees could well be hit 100 to 200 grand depending on whether this clunker goes to trial. And, Mr. Mezey may still get counsel. That would turn this into WWIII. The victim that attended the hearing could also turn this thing on its end. We shall see.

[Kool Aid Man]

So Garrigan (in Texas) has been ordered to "look for an appropriate doctor to in Florida to do an evaluation" on Mezey? What are the odds that such an "appropriate doctor" located and paid for by the plaintiff (his client) would rule in favor of his clients adversary (the defendant)?

Also, "Garrigan indicated that his client couldn't afford to fund the evaluation." So either Eddie's just that broke (which should be concerning to his investors) or he's lying, yes? Yet according to this Protek PR published on 2/22/22 Vakser said--

"“Now that milestones of development were achieved from 2021 season, the company is ready to reap the benefits and rewards from BDGR acquisition and NFT developments. Black Dracos., (#B$D), added a tremendous value to the company’s balance sheet and assets by launching a catalog of NFT’s based on several collections of High appraised value Art. https://opensea.io/collection/blackdracos
https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2022/02/22/2389366/0/en/ProTek-Capital-Inc-Announces-Shareholder-Updates.html

Once again, So either plaintiff PRPM just that broke or the CEO in lying.

SO those same "art & NFT assets" that the CEO claimed 7 short months ago "added a tremendous value to the company’s (PRPM's) balance sheet and assets" SUDDENLY DON'T have any significant value after all??? If so could it be because--

(a) these alleged "assets" have little if any real world value which proves the CEO is lying yet again now as the defendant claims he allegedly did in the spring of 2013 regarding the acquisition of the defendant's company --OR--

(b) none of the CEO's companies actually "owns" any of these "art assets of tremendous value" which means they remain the property of his associates who are conspiring with him to dupe the investors in public companies. If true then these "assets" (if still owned by others) are (1) not legally the property of any Vakser run company, (2) not available to be used as collateral in a loan to assist in the prosecution of this lawsuit filed on behalf of and for the benefit of this company and, (3) not recoverable in any court ordered judgment against the company/ plaintiff --OR--

(c) these "valuable art assets" --identified BY NAME (i.e.Michelangelo, Sky Jones etc)-- have been moved to the CEO's "AURI INC" in order to (1) shield them from potential liability (court costs, judgments etc) associated with PROTEK/ Vakser v Mezey and instead (2) used to justify the recent authorization (on 7/20/22) of "10 BILLION NEW SHARES" for AURI INC. at the expense of PRPM. And, if so, does that action on behalf of the CEO of BOTH companies involving the same "valuable art assets" also expose AURI to any possible liability?

Just trying to understand. If there are other explanations I'd be curious to hear them.

[B1gbtv001]

The judge postponed the hearing for 30 days. She told Garriagn to find a competency evaluator to have Garrigan cover the costs outside of the court allowing 1000$ of their budget for the evaluation. Garrigan is on record stating if I'm incompetent to proceed he will drop the lawsuit. I gave Garrigan a name of a renowned forensic psychologist who evaluated me before and found me to be diminished capacity under federal law. There are very few doctors who are qualified to do these evaluations under the courts.

[Soapboxmom]

Both Plaintiff and Defendant attended the online hearing in black t-shirts. Mr. Mezey's shirt said Big B. Eddie Vakser's shirt was a worn-out tee that we could not see much more than the collar of due to his camera angle. Neither of them was dressed appropriately for a formal court hearing.

We were not permitted to record the hearing, so I will share a few highlights from what I remember until a proper transcript or the video is made available.

A surprise witness also appeared and when the judge ask what his role was he answered that he was a victim of Edward Vakser. That should get quite interesting!

The main focus of the hearing was the issue of the competency of the Defendant. The judge has Vakser's attorney, Daniel Garrigan, looking for an appropriate doctor to in Florida to do an evaluation. Garrigan indicated that his client couldn't afford to fund the evaluation, so the judge agreed to fund it. The judge's total funding for ADA accommodations for all that come to her court is only $20,000. So, she had no hope of funding an attorney for Mr. Mezey. Just his legal counsel alone would wipe out and far exceed that minuscule amount. But, the court is funding the evaluation to determine competency.

There has already been a flurry of motions and evidence submitted, but the case is stalled at this juncture with the competency issue. The next hearing is on October 14th and the only issue will be the judge picking the doctor to do the evaluation from a list submitted to the court in a letter from Garrigan.

The Texas Secretary of State clarified that they are nothing more than a relief defendant. Should the court rule in a declaratory judgment that the UCC lien should be removed, their only job in this mess would be to remove that lien from the state's listing. The SOS like district courts cannot refuse a filing.

Protek Capital has strings of zeroes listed in its filings. So, with zero assets, no accounts payable, no operations and no income, how the case is being funded is yet to be ferreted out in discovery. Apparently, the thousands in legal fees for this suit are being funded by Vakser himself. His contention in the petition is that there was no deal. The evidence that contradicts that is mountainous from what I have seen. I will post more court docs as I receive them.

[Kool Aid Man]

Did pie-eyed Eddie show or just his lawyer? Did they both wear Black-Dragass T-shirts?

[winningpenny]

Looking forward to the facts being shared and actual transparency vs the lies

[winningpenny]

Bah bah lol

[radly]

This at $.10 yet? How about .01 or just .001 lol

[Soapboxmom]

I watched it all on the Youtube channel with no trouble. I took notes that I will share along with the filings I requested.

[winningpenny]

Yep all waiting on your update! Unfortunately no one was able to see the court room

[B1gbtv001]

that's weird.

[winningpenny]

No one could see through the link. It was blank

[B1gbtv001]

You were watching it I heard. You tell me? I'm costing Vakser a bloody fortune in lawyers fees. He's stupid to not settle. His arrogance will be his downfall. As the judge said "there is a difference between intelligence and incompetence." Once I'm found incompetent the judge will toss the case legally as she has to and my lien legally will have to remain forcing Vakser to settle because my ex-guardian approved of the lien filing. My own psychiatrist already told me yesterday I'm very intelligent but incompetent. 7 out of 9 total doctors say I'm incompetent that have evaluated me already. They also says I'm highly unpredictable and a nutjob but very intelligent. I'm like an enigma you will never see ever again in your lifetime.

Eddie started playing this scam last week with PRPM's subsidiary BDGR.
Both are worthless, shell risk garbage.

[winningpenny]

Yepper his in his hiding phase! He play this and never changes his move!!!

Next update after hiding phase is he comes back and saves the day against evil share holders and neh sayers!

He never goes off script! Followed by next week updates coming with a new business plan!

[Hitchox]

Pandoras box is a happy ending. Ill just let you be wrong.

[Soapboxmom]

The story of Pandora's Box does not end with all evil stopped. Hope is trapped inside the box, but all the evils are set lose upon the world and remain with us today. The point of referencing that story was to illustrate that by filing the court case Eddie Vakser is drawing attention to all the evils he has committed. Vakser is stirring the pot when he should have just stayed in his "hiding phase" permanently.

[Hitchox]

No one is a share holder. Thats the problem

[Hitchox]

The last thing in pandoras box is hope. I guess you lose because no d.d on pandoras box. The end of the story reals all the evil is stopped.

[dukeb]

Your examples of Barry's bloviating hardly scratch the surface...LOL.

That Eddie is a scamming pathological liar is undisputed (except by him, of course).

There are no winners here. Barry had (IMO) a "company" that was worth nothing. Eddie almost certainly knew this but, as you point out, he did no DD to determine what he was buying. As always, with Eddie it's all about the "story."

There are no innocents here and Barry and Eddie deserve each other. I pity any attorney or judge who have to sully themselves by getting involved with this matter.

[Soapboxmom]

By filing the court case Eddie Vakser opened Pandora's Box!

All the facts surrounding his dirty dealings with Barry Mezey are now fodder for public consumption. Eddie Vakser's suit seems to hinge on the fact that he claims (with a perfectly straight face mind you) that there was no deal. That is obviously not the case.

Vakser may win the court case as his defendant is without legal counsel, and will not file the correct things in the correct time-frame, but his dirty deals are now on prominent display in cringe worthy detail in the court records that are public. I will post much more in the coming days.

Eddie Vakser's days of pumping his scam stocks with his phony-baloney press releases are obviously over as he has lost in the court that matters - the court of public opinion.

[Kool Aid Man]

Barry also admitted he sometimes suffers from delusions of grandeur (which I agree). One only need look at the dozens of Youtube videos he has posted which include---.

*Claims to have a genuine Honus Wagner baseball card -- one of the rarest and the most valuable baseball cards in existence-- worth millions IF legit (his seems ungraded and flopped out on his parents dining table along with dozens of others.

*Claimed to be running to be President of Israel (I wouldn't be surprised)

Regardless, Eddie repeatedly published PR updates for consumption by his investors about the progress of his LOI with Barry. As I understand "a letter of intent (LOI) by no means that the deal is finished. But it does lend a tone of seriousness to the deal, and can help both parties negotiate in a more constructive fashion."

Take a look at and listen to this guy---
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/87LPC1THUsY

Does anyone believe Eddie ever truly "serious" about following thru with an acquisition of a company run by this guy whose value was discussed in his LOI... including paying him "$80,000 for the first season of his reality show"??? Eddie seriously think the public wanted to see him much less put him forth as the public face of PRPM??? Did Eddie ever ONCE operate in "good faith".... or was he just looking for another patsy with a pulse he could use and abuse for a short term pump?

IMO Eddie never intended on paying a dime to Mezey. For one reason, I doubt he had the financial resources to pay what he pledged in his LOI even if he wanted to. Rather, I think his plan all along was to bail on the deal if ever pressured to hold up his end of the bargain. That's why he built in his "if I don't pay you the deal is off, you get your company back and everything I paid you to that point" escape hatch. This seems to be a pattern of this with many of his "acquisitions" that get pumped to the heavens then vaporize without a word.

Instead, Eddie announced he "had acquired" Barry's company, he quoted both by name in PR's as being "a subsidiary of PRPM." IMO it sounds like Barry felt the deal had been finalized. If there wasn't a business worth acquiring then Eddie should have figured that out before pumping the crap out of it to investors. Instead it seems all he managed to achieve with his scammy flim-flammery is a Frankenstein of his own creation --one who lives, eats, breathes and craps revenge for the wrongs he feels were inflicted on him by a heartless, master manipulator.

[dukeb]

Barry has repeatedly claimed that he has a net worth of many millions of dollars. He certainly should be able to afford a lawyer.

[Kool Aid Man]

American Bar Association says--

"Civil right to counsel", sometimes called "Civil Gideon", refers to the idea that people who are unable to afford lawyers in legal matters involving basic human needs - such as shelter, sustenance, safety, health, and child custody - should have access to a lawyer at no charge. The "Gideon" reference is linked to the famous Supreme Court ruling that individuals charged with serious crimes have a right to counsel. While this right exists in criminal matters, it exists at present only in very limited circumstances in civil matters. https://www.americanbar.org/groups/legal_aid_indigent_defense/civil_right_to_counsel1/

Are we to understand that you are requesting a "Civil Gideon" to represent you because of your disability and because you feel your case involves or impacts your "basic human needs - such as shelter, sustenance, safety, health"???

[B1gbtv001]

9/14/2022 is court date. Wednesday. It's over zoom call. I asked the judge for a delay of hearing until I am appointed counsel. Vakser's attorney filed 7 days before the hearing a response to my motion to dismiss the lawsuit and both Vakser nor his attorney objected to me receiving court appointed counsel due to my diminished capacity.

[winningpenny]

When’s the court date?

[B1gbtv001]

FYI for all shareholders to know. I was always kept in the dark about Eddie Vakser's other business dealings in their full retrospects outside of the SMG deal. Eddie Vakser never disclosed to me his troubles with the SEC. I only found out about the SEC directly from an SEC attorney at the Dallas office of the SEC in 2017. I'm completely innocent here while Vakser and his cronies took advantage of me and PRPM retail shareholders to make themselves rich and screw the rest of us. If vakser decides to proceed into discovery I will be providing law enforcement with a copy of all discovery. Vakser and his attorney did something smart for once and did not object to me being appointed counsel in a letter to the court.

[Kool Aid Man]

So why did Barry enthusiastically endorse the LOI to acquire ARTFEST on 4/18/2013?? Here's a bit of history---

Eddie's first ticker was ARTFEST INTERNATIONAL ($ARTS fka ARTI.OB). At one point he professed to have acquired a legitimate business called Charity Sports Distributors (still in business though apparently not with Eddie if ever: https://www.csdframing.com/ ). CSD created and sold framed sports memorabilia for use as fundraisers by charities.

Could it be that Mezey believed ARTS and CSD would benefit to HIS (sports) clients?

Was he aware that, months earlier, ARTS had become the target of an SEC proceeding regarding various issues including lies about their books being audited when they were not?

Even if he WAS made aware, was he he told that Eddie's longtime penny stock lawyer, financier and partner Jonathan D. Leinwand Esq (aka Mastiff Group LLC) was representing ARTFEST (see page 1) and lulled by that? Is that why he participated in Eddie's "Protek acquires Artfest" PR on 4/18/2013?

Did he have any clue that on 4/30/2013 the SEC would announce it had PERMANENTLY REVOKED Artfest and "every class of securities" due to Eddie being caught in yet another lie?

The timeline of what happened is available here https://www.sec.gov/alj/aljdec/2013/id485bpm.pdf The SEC stated "

Artfest has been in consistent violation of the periodic filing requirements for over two years and three months, involving numerous quarterly filings and two annual filings with audited financials; that from its prior filings it knew what was required; and that it gave false representations that an
accountant would soon submit audited materials because it has not paid $2,000, an amount necessary for the work to begin.

Did Mezey know any of this?

Based on that PR of 4/18/2013, could it be Mezey believed that Eddie's was shifting the assets of Artfest in order to consolidate and strengthen Mezey's parent PRPM. Was he even aware that the move was primarily in order to shield it from SEC death sentence 12 days later?

On June 14, 2013 --2 weeks after the SEC death sentence became final-- Eddie announced that PROTEK "acquired" ARTFEST.
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/protek-capital-inc-acquires-artfest-international-inc-211536841.html

Eddie used CEO Mezey and his Superstar Management --"a subsidiary of PROTEK" to publicize this acquisition 2 months earlier. Was that not a valuable service Mezey provided to PRPM that continues to exist?

Just asking

[Kool Aid Man]

I also read the contents of the original lawsuit (link to a copy provided at the bottom of this post). You cited the following in Eddie's LOI:
----------------------

"5. Termination. This Letter of lntent will expire in fourteen (14) days from the date of execution unless extended at any time by mutual consent of the parties...."

-------------------
Then you went on to say "The LOI expired under its own provisions set out above not later than March 7, 2013, which date was fourteen (14) days after the LOI was signed by Edward Vakser.”

Ok then, on 3/3/2013 (4 days before the LOI "expired" if based on the date Eddie signed it) Vakser issued the following PR announcing the acquisition of Combat Energy Drinks as part of his "master plan" for his sister companies and his "sports celebrity clients." The PR contained a 110 word testimonial by Barry Mezey CEO of Superstar Management Group. https://www.otcmarkets.com/otcapi/company/dns/news/document/1350/content

However, on APRIL 18, 2013 he posted another PR that contained the following----
------------------------------------

Barry Mezey, CEO of SuperStar Management Group >>a subsidiary of ProTek Capital<< stated

-- “ArtFest International is a dynamic company with an existing business and a well known industry brand that sells works of art and sports memorabilia. ArtFest has combined those operations around an integrated ecommerce sales platform with an independent direct sales growth model that run a strong parallel to our business focus in addition to the fact that it will provide an excellent platform to support our expansion plans and complement our strategic vision for shareholder value creation in the near and long term."[/color] https://www.otcmarkets.com/otcapi/company/dns/news/document/2015/content And he did it again here--
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/PRPM/news/ProTek-Capital-Inc-Signs-Letter-Of-Intent-To-Acquire-Assets-of-ArtFest-International-Inc?id=61583

Even if one were to start the 14 day clock on the expiration of the LOI on the date that Eddie signed it (on 2/21/22)-- this last PR (4/18/2013) is well beyond that window. So by doing so, it not only appears to have either been extended --EDDIE CALLS SMG "A SUBSIDIARY OF PROTEK CAPITAL." So once again he clearly proclaimed that acquisition completed as announced back on 2/22/2013

Barry's words seemed not only articulate they were apparently deemed to be valuable enough by Vakser to warrant their inclusion in his promotional announcements for presentation to investors. If Barry was not a partner and a credible spokesman for Vakser's companies then why did he keep using him as one?

If Mezey misled Vakser then I suspect that could be litigated as well. There was ample time for each to conduct DD on the other. IMO both suffer from delusions of grandeur and exaggeration.

------------------------------------
Like you, I'm not a lawyer either..nor have I ever been a legal professional of any sort. Nor do I profess to advise anyone, make any prediction who may or may not prevail in the Vakser v. Mezey lawsuit or any other. All I do is express my personal opinion based on what I read from public sources cited.
