Waiting I guess.

Trading has been nothing but sideways motion, and BTC has risen again

[IrishBayou]

where is everyone?

[IrishBayou]

where is everyone?

[smoking guns]

Actually, the correct answer is Calif. and Chicago

[surfkast]

Florida is a know hotspot for scams. Scammers like the hot weather!

[train21]

a lot of these con jobs appear to be based around FLORIDA

[surfkast]

Nice find. It appears Brian has his fingers in several pieces of cake. Integrated Cannabis Solutions Inc supposedly will become a billion dollar Chinese company. SMH

Another interesting fact is Wade's wife Anastasia Shishova has a real estate business located at 1200 E LAS OLAS BLVD, FT LAUDERDALE, FL, 33301 which is just two town away from

1200 N. FLORIDA MANGO ROAD STE 300

Brian Mclain on a recent filing for IGPK seems to own 203,500,000 shares based on the fintel/SEC report and has a family office called M. Mclain Investments?
https://fintel.io/doc/sec-mclain-brian-k-1002771-sc-13ga-2024-march-01-19783-7792


https://www.corporationwiki.com/Texas/Port-Neches/m-mclain-investments-llc/38644307.aspx and has ties to Nederland, TX as well. Could be a different Brian Mclain but seems logical they are the same person.

Looks like someone who is fluent in the OTC n' making some rather large investments or getting rather large sums of shares for nothing ...... but why?

[BasedOnFeels]

My guess is Brian McLain is in on it now and hosts the miners in TX, while paying a pretty penny (575m shares and 23% of the company) for hush hush. My guess is Wade has a % of those shares on the closed door backend as well. Either way, an absurd amount of shares were issued at .00000 for 'services rendered' without any kind of filing for how/why he was handed almost 25% of the company out of the blue, in TX where they host the miners.. $402,500 at the current market price with no risk must be nice. They are restricted, but for how long? No info on that. I could be wrong, but its the most logical thing I could come to.

Im guessing maybe some Kentucky name will pop up on next filing with another drastic share issuance for "whatever we want to insert here" Who knows. Based off filings, this wont ever get to fly, no matter what BTC price is... this literally trades off BTC price, nothing else., what happens when BTC cools off? Surely no more selling or AS raises or S1 offerings right? Gotta get more miners is the only thing they have or like .6cent dividend for every million shares owned. I am glad that its at least trading and people flipping are making good money off the BTC pump, too risky for my blood at this current state, given at any moment 200m-1b shares could dump on my entry, in an already bloating SS...

Getting even harder in TX to turn a BTC profit https://www.wired.com/story/bitcoin-mining-texas-energy-grid/

I have been trying to find out who Brian McLain is and what his connection is but have come up empty handed. I would bet that he is connected to Joseph Wade Mezey in some way.
As for Joseph, we know he has been getting shares and converting them through Novus Group.

Here is a good read on Novus Group.
https://www.newcannabisventures.com/how-insiders-secretly-pocketed-3-million-from-sunset-island-group/

and

https://seekingalpha.com/instablog/6880-alan-brochstein-cfa/5039802-evidence-of-fraud-sigo

JFYI,Newport Bay Capital, LLC (WilliamWaldrop) is connected to Wade going back to at least 2010! Also of note are other names like Matt Billington, Nate Steck, Joe's Mom Lori Livacich and LOOK! Vortex Tennis, the original VTXB who had Tom Olmstead as CEO/Director.

Here is a list of connections from a 2010 Avarus filing.

I had a whole thing written out and it timed out.. so ill keep it short n sweet.
2 billion preferred shares converted by NOVUS GROUP aka Joseph Wade Mezey in 1 year and aggressively sold into the market.
575MILLION COMMON SHARES(23% of company) issued to Brian McLain(who is this?)(is he hosting the miners in TX?) for "Services Rendered" whatever that means. Seems like a grotesque amount of shares for an individual...without explanation dont you think?

There is little to no debt, but Novus Group keeps selling... why? Its not hard to run a miner company, you just pump an already existing sector pump and never have to actually do any work and sell shares. Their miners oddly are in 2 different states Kentucky and Texas? Not weird at all.


Yall should listen to surfkast. He called this in 2017 when the float was 47m a failed PAS and and 2 failed S1 offerings. Some of the investors who gave VTXB direct $ still have yet to receive shares. SMH.
If and when Novus ever runs out of shares, all Wade has to do is create an invoice... give it to Higley and badda bing new shares for lets say "services rendered"... good luck.

[getmoreshares]

reviewed it a few weeks ago-- could not decipher to project the miner count.

[surfkast]

Here is the wallet from their website.

https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/38xnQP3mbWoDQTqLZy3GFMZyd2bwigvwCp

[getmoreshares]

today was not the 1st inquiry- they repeatedly refuse to answer-- possibly they do not have any hashing.

[surfkast]

The filings show 30 miners. 19 from 2022 which are outdated.

The company has acquired Nineteen (19) Antminer S19j Pro (100th) that came on-line during 2022. Due to long delivery dates for equipment, the company had originally leased terrahash to act as a stop gap until the company’s machines came on-line, the last of those leases expired on October 28, 2022. In 2023 the company added 3 Antminer S19 (95T), 3 Antminer S19j Pro (100T), and 5 Antminer S19j Pro+ (120T).

https://www.otcmarkets.com/otcapi/company/financial-report/391921/content

[getmoreshares]

requested the number of miners(again) NO REPLY on X-- so it must be small- 30 or less.

[surfkast]

And you hate facts about scams. LOL

[Rainer]

yeah, yeah, you hate ALL stocks, we know.

[surfkast]

That is a meaningless comical tweet! Look at their wallet! LOL
I posted information in February and also last week. Their 30 miners are far from profitable!
They mined .2 coins in a month!
Plus note how much they are removing from their wallet!

Joseph Wade thanks those who are propping the PPS up as he continues to dilute!

[Chi-town Bull]

Looking good….

[10thMountain]

Very THIN

[IrishBayou]

what benefit is there in dilution while the price is increasing? TY

[surfkast]

Massive dilution. Wade is ramping up!

[surfkast]

The OTC Markets U.S. is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time (GMT-04:00).

[urge2surge]

Leaving trips! All aboard!

[10thMountain]

Level 2 always shows shit pre market. And YES….sometimes what the opening price will be. YOU have no clue. This is over

[surfkast]

Well, if one wants to post meaningless false information, investors should care.

[10thMountain]

Wtf?? Who cares??

[surfkast]

Again. It is meaningless. Official B/A starts at 9:30.

[Bud-Wiser]

Finally in the green hear -0008 average

[10thMountain]

Yep. Big volume today

[10thMountain]

Level 2 showed a gap to .001 premarket. I did not say it was trading pre-market.

[surfkast]

There is no pre market in the OTC. But real investors know that!
Real bid/ask start at 9:30!

[urge2surge]

Going to leave trips. All aboard!

[10thMountain]

Gapping up a little pre market

[10thMountain]

Peeps are accumulating

[surfkast]

Down already!So sad.

[10thMountain]

I saw that too. That’s good

[TerraRyzing]

Yeah...I do see people talking on Twitter/X though

[10thMountain]

This board is dead

[10thMountain]

So I brought some of my CRCW profits here. Let’s get this party started

[Chartmaster]

Breaking out here today! And on good volume! Btc to 82k-122k by eoy

[urge2surge]

Lots of room to grow! Here comes the momo to go go!

[JohnnyRothrock]

…they sold almost all the bitcoin they have mined…and currently hold about only 1/3 of one bitcoin. They own right now .34 of one Bitcoin, or almost $24,000 …..Mined 4.7 bitcoins in a couple years…and sold 4.3. Total received below is what they mined into their wallet…total sent is what they have taken out….i guess to perhaps pay for the tiny divy everyone gets….? How much of a divy did anyone get last time?

At least though they are honest and show us their bitcoin mining wallet address…..but if you see they take some out now and then understandable….. but if anyone wondering why this hasnt exploded its cause almost a zero sum gain:

Boogie woogie momo tick tock.

[TheFinalCD]

$VTXB adding 7s. There are complete garbage cryptos with a market cap 100X this stock. This thing mines the real thing and they’re looking to expand. When do they find it?

— Zalmy (@greatstockpicks) March 7, 2024

[urge2surge]

Accumulation majority is over. Boogie woogie anyday now...

[TerraRyzing]

Actually the sats have been lower.

And recently I have been seeing a third input coming in

Not saying they are doing major mining sh!t, because it's still miniscule amounts coming in but that part is true
