Vortex Brands Co (VTXB)

[surfkast]

Many years ago I was a big penny player. I made a lot of coin for myself and many of my friends. I had an extensive email list. My biggest call was SRSR.
Going forward, I received a hot tip on some new shell plays. The common thread was Joseph Wade Mezey buying Davis Cutler shells, Then I realized all he was out to do was scamming people! Wade has dumped a few billion here on the marks.
Yes Wade cost me thousands. So did a few other CEO's. One whose office I sat in while he claimed no RS> then three in 18 months.
I do hate OTC scammer to the nth degree. The same for some of the pumpers here who I was friendly with at one time. But then when I started doing real DD and calling out scams, most abandoned me. Some to this day give me tips which fires up my adrenalin.
Yes, some can make coin today, buy too many bag holders are created along the way.

Maybe I should claim to be a Cybersleuth: an individual who uses the resources available on the World Wide Web for research. Generally applied to someone who ferrets out information about organizations, policies and procedures from the abundance of material available on-line. (Versus the ones who blindly believe the OTCM BS and pump away!)

I usually post because I found feel the particular security is being pumped or that they are diluting and I want to save the newbie investor. Some don't like it but tough!

Today I enjoy the chase as a hobby as I retired early 9years ago. My biggest investment are mutual funds. My blended rate is 23%. I occasionally will pick a stock, usually in the science or medical sector.

Anyway, thanks for having my back! GLTY!

[BasedOnFeels]

I just call it like I see it big guy, theres no veil or smoke n mirrors. I spent 5 years arguing with him, take what you want from that.
He hates Joseph Wade Mezzey. Good look at all the stocks affiliated with that name, you will find surf there. You dont listen very well.

To answer you last question: Because he hates Joseph Wade Mezzey. Hope you can comprehend that. Or keep going around in circles.
My last post of the day(Im a great paid basher, 3 posts per day limit).

For real, if you can make money here-KUDOS, its going to be REAL hard. Wade wont let it go past .001 where liquidity dries up, since 'we got more miners' PRs can only attract so many fish for so long.

INSANE is giving your money to the Mezzey family and associates. You too can buy a shell on the OTC for around $75,000-200,000 and create your own shares out of thin air. All you need is a securities lawyer, a TA, SOS domicile, patsy CEO and wallah... free ATM.

[TerraRyzing]

Nah, he goes too hard for it to be habitual. That makes no sense and you spent too much time trying to convince people who hold my opinion.

WHY ARE YOU BEING NOTIFIED FOR A SH!T STOCK? That's insane

[BasedOnFeels]

Having an alert on for VTXB to talk shit to someone about Joseph Wade, thats the answer you seek. He is retired, he has nothing better to do, its a hobby at this point for Surfkast. Talking to no one isnt very fun. Who doesnt want engagement?

Surf will tell you not to trade the OTC. Nothing in the OTC is a good investment to him. SO if thats what it takes for you to have some internet stock credibility then youll be fighting with him til the end of days.
I know what if feels like to have him talk shit about your investment, it was always fun banter in my eyes bc I knew eventually as long as the share structure stayed good here, Id make money. I accumulated a bunch of shares in a low float in 2017 (47m FLOAT to 110m from 3 REG A offerings) and waited 4-5 years until the BTC pump. All the while trader59 and surfkast bashed my investment. Its the price you pay to make money. Endure the BS with your conviction in the plays, and kill the trade no matter how long it takes. .0061 entry& below in 2017--- to .06 in 2021 in 3 days.

Then a year later, Wade started to convert. BTC pump enacted forever. AS raises, OS raises, Class C shares converted, 500m shares given for 'services rendered" to some unknown fellow, even though you dont know why. They never have to do anything else here put out PRS and print converted free shares to dumb retail for as long as they buy the ask and fill the bid on the dump. ATM forever, with endless Class C shares.

Surf calls scam on "Players in the OTC space that he initially invested into, that eventually burned him and his money at some point in his trading career". You'll find that on almost every board here in OTC. His are very select. Odds are if youre in one of those stocks, the individual is corrupt and he has backing evidence to show you.

And in this instance for Joseph Wade Mezzy, his history, his associates, company filings, his criminal charges, his conversions... the evidence is thick and sick.

Id LOVE to get paid to talk shit on an internet stock board with unlimited posts, where do I sign up young fella!?

Sadly many of the so called dummies are just that, dummies and lose their investment.
This and always has been a scam. Yes, some front loaders made money. I don't see that ever happening again with Joseph Wade Mezey having a few billion more to dump.
The Hopium gang sees some activity and jumps in. The what happens? New Bag Holders are created.
The so called "bashers" do not get paid and they sure as hell do not but OTCM scams. SMH

[train21]

its my opinion that all these bashers can not be posting for fun ?? or to give us dummies a heads up????
if you look at most of the bashers posts and other stock posts they are always 100 percent bashing against a stock
never for a stock ???
if they are paid and I am sure then they cannot be paid very much
or are they all doing it to get the stock price to 0001 and buy up super cheap shares ?????

[TerraRyzing]

The fellow said he gets alerts when someone posts....why? for a garbage company?

I never said surf was lying and his info was wrong. I said he was paid to dissent.

Also why be here and it's quiet?

There are other boards where he does this and that's where the paid everyday thing comes in. Like if he liked a stock and told why it's a good investment, something I have never seen him do, then he would have credibility.

You probably are one too that's why you are defending him on this matter

[BasedOnFeels]

Wouldnt that argument counter your accusations? If he was paid, he would be posting everyday here.
Why would he sit here or anyone and talk to no one when nothing is happening? Stock volume brings board volume..
People come here to get information, especially on a random vague tweet. You can find plenty of it if you look through the history here.

Hes been stating Wade is a scam artist since I got in 2017 and accumulated ALOT when the share structure was 47m tradeable.
That was the end of 2021 run to .06... now look at this bloated POS and endless conversions from Wade.. its not rocket science what is happening here.

When they need liquidity and some dilution, they just put a PR "More miners" and mindless OTC noobs eat it up everytime.
Dont blame the messenger, blame the Wade who has converted billions of shares and counting... to never let his stock move, with the only catalysts being "more miners" --alot to look foward to.

Whoever reads this, you can find something WAY better than giving your money to Joseph Wade with endless FREE shares on the ask and endless huge block dumps on the bid. Unless you like getting scammed and a very low possibility of getting out whole or winner.

[surfkast]

There was unexpected volume. Hit my radar and I commented.
FWIW, just Zelle® me my money.

[TerraRyzing]

I'm not saying you are wrong. My thing is you waited for others to comment before you spewed your counter argument.

If VTXB was so bad, and its "your hobby" as you previously stated, you should tell the truth about VTXB before others say anything.... negative or positive.

This board had been quiet for months and oh here comes surfkast the minute people asked about volume. You aren't Suri...you are a ihub poster. You are paid to do so

[surfkast]

A little DD would show I have followed this scam since the Vortex Tennis scam days. I keep it on my radar.
OOOOPS. Look what happened here today! This is Joseph Wade Mezey's private ATM! LOL
Guess the chart is no good either! SMH

[train21]

WHAT HAPPENED ?? SHARES ARE CHEAP ENOUGH ???

[TerraRyzing]

Maybe so, but there is no question you are a paid dissenter

This thing has been QUIET for MONTHS, and the minute someone says anything, here you are like air

[surfkast]

Novus Group (Joseph Wade) is converting/dumping. Guaranteed.

[PENNY DIPZ]

The tweet definitely coincided with dilution.

No one can sell issued shares nor issue new shares if they arent current, so thats not ideal. They will have a grace period, which they will surely use to stay out of expert/dark/defunct.

Its a wonder why even after a year+ they cant even tell their own Transfer Agent that the AS needs to be changed to 9billion, and reflected on OTCM. Now if the AS is wrong, would it be safe to assume the OS is wrong too? Just wait for the 120M+ issuance every month from Novus converting Class C shares. BTC at 70k right now and nothing from retail. Til the next halving I guess, Shareholders can look forward to 1 regurgitated news PR and subsequent dumps from here til the end of time. But hey, you can see their wallet. My buddy in his backyard shed is mining more BTC than this.

[Chi-town Bull]

Thanks, I missed that. I saw it now.

[surfkast]

Novus Group was a company set up by Joseph Wade Mezey and Matt Billington many years ago under 1PM industries.. The main purpose was to get cheap shares in companies, like this one and then dump and pocket the money. He and his coconspirators set up companies to run scams Matt may also be benefitting from this one.
Here is a good read.

Novus Group, LLC was controlled by Joseph Wade (Joseph Wade Mezey) and that SIGO was controlled by his wife, Anastasia Shishova, neither of which was disclosed in the SEC filings that allowed Novus Group, now owned by 1PM Industries (OTC: OPMZ) to dump the majority of its shares, which it acquired for just $11,000, for almost $3mm and distribute the proceeds directly to Joseph Wade and Matt Billington.

https://www.newcannabisventures.com/how-insiders-secretly-pocketed-3-million-from-sunset-island-group/

[BasedOnFeels]

Novus is not a lender. Joseph Wade owns the stock. Todd Higley-CEO doesnt have to do anything for the company but exist on paper, sign his name on filings, issue the same PR over and over and issue stock. Thats it.

They have operated on crowd funding S1s and Reg A offerings. I dont think they had one promissory note since Higley took over in 2016-17.

Ask yourself, what did Novus Group ever do for the company to be issued a toxic amount of shares in the form of preferred's Series C ? I was here from 2016-21 and never saw Novus Group on a filing until it was converted after I was out, Its what surfkast tried to tell people about. Once this happened, I saw what he was talking about. It took 6 years to set this up. This was when the float was 47m. Whats the float now?

Higley for 150k for 'accrued expenses' issued himself 31,250,000,000(billion) worth of stock in the form of Series C shares.... you see how this is NOT a good thing?

Taken from the recent filing-
"We have authorized capital stock consisting of 9,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”)
and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). As of the date of this filing, we have
1,212,750,000 shares of Common Stock, 6,059,600 shares of Preferred Series C Stock issued and outstanding."

---Looks like they raised the AS again? Imagine that. Who saw that coming? 4b-9b over 100% AS raise... guess whats coming next? More shares dumping. Follow the history. Follow the players who are ACTIVELY converting in large droves. No matter what BTC does, 4 people will win here, the insiders. The BTC pivot, I will admit, for a scam- was genius, and will be paying for Wades trust fund for as long as BTC is a thing.

I get trying to defend your stance and investment, but its obvious whats happening here now. Once the conversions happened and Cecilia Widner gave back to VTXB 50billion shares worth of Series C shares and got pushed out, its Novus Group show now. Still dont know what Novus Group does for the company, but get issued shares.Also, who is Brian Mcclain and what is worth 500,000,000 issued shares in services rendered?

Go spend your money on something else. Or get dumped on.

[TerraRyzing]

His name is in the filings. Lender with convertible notes. Nouvos

[surfkast]

Did you bother reading the financials? Obviously not! Wade dropped 1.5 billion shares as of the last filing. SMH

Where are you getting that name from? I don’t even see that guy’s name tied to the stock.

[surfkast]

Joseph Waded Mezey has been scamming since at least 2008! He was given a cease and desist from California then. He was subsequently disbarred by NY.
He knows that if he gives a MM a big block to dump they will dump on both sides. I have seen it happen too many times in the OTC and I have seen Wade do it many times also!
Please note that as of the last filing there were : 6,032,400 preferred sharers out which convert at 25,000 to 1!
That is over 150 billion shares!

[TerraRyzing]

I never say you were lying on them dumping, but was that what happened today? .0004/5s posted, mostly on the Ask

[surfkast]

Yes, Wade dumped!

[TerraRyzing]

It happened today.

[surfkast]

I never lost on this one. I called it a scam from the tennis racquet days! LOL

[train21]

buy some now you lost money on this one didn't you ??? so average down and buy some cheapies
and then you won't have to bash

[TerraRyzing]

The best thing that has been happening here is since the split the SAT prices per transaction have lowered tremendously, but they are mining half of what was already low mining capabilities. They have some that bring in .007825. That would great if ALL were that much because that would be a quarter of a Bitcoin monthly and half it were twice daily

They have other microcap crypto plays that don't even post their wallet and trade higher. They make way more bold claims, but selling the FOMO has worked

The dumps are real.

I follow the numbers and it's gradual, but the increments have increase that it looks like it's not happening, but it really is

Most share selling stocks would let shit run before pulling the rug, but it does seem like a couple tick flips are good here. They are OK with it. Yeah the OS has gone up, but it's manageable compare to other sh!t out there

[surfkast]

Massive accumulation!

Volume: 23,000

[train21]

VTXB TIME FOR A RUN UP
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Guaranteed you will see Wade dumped more when the filings hit. Posting unchanged is meaningless as the PPS is barcoding for months now.

Shares continue unchanged.

probably go again if btc moves to 70 plus, went on that hype before. Like you said they are pos just trade em.

[surfkast]

Excellent post! Wade;s private ATM.

[BasedOnFeels]

The stock cannot turn with Novus group(Wade) owning 150 BILLION shares of Class C preferred.
Not to mention Brian McClain they gave 575 million shares to for no reason, those will likely become unrestricted in September. So Im guessing this is when the next dump will be coming aka "VTXB has increased its hash rate and mining capabilities" like the last 3 years straight.

Once this hit trips, it was over for long term shareholders. Especially ones who bought .01-06 BEFORE Novus(Wade) was diluting in 2021-22. I made bank. No one can make bank here now. The toxic spiral is initiated, and its not even a lender, its THE OWNER OF VTXB youre giving your money to with endless shares.... endless AS raises. All the OTC might be trash, but this is a TOP 10 shipping container full of it, for real now.

There are lots of CEO's to stay away from and this for sure one of them, especially once they start converting. All stocks can make money but once this happens, its 1% chance it gets back to previous levels without an RS. Its the hard truth. Go give your money to stocks who have no promissory notes, and not outrageous preferred's to insiders, youll be much more inclined to make some amazing returns. While we always try to look to the future, the past is a book of information that cannot be ignored when trying to make decisions. Happy Trading.

[urge2surge]

If your leaving, then the stock is ready to turn! Awesome!!

[surfkast]

Absolutely not. Guess you can't comprehend facts. BYE!

[urge2surge]

So your saying they've got a chance?! Just like all the other OTC non QB QX stocks. YEEHAW!

[surfkast]

Actually was an Eagle and an Explorer.
Out of trips? Are you serious? Did you even read the financials. Do you understand the history here?
This has been a scam since the Rube Goldberg electric box phase angle synchronization nonsense.
. And became an even bigger one with the mining operation.
Their equipment is obsolete. They are losing money Q over Q. Wade is dumping billions of shares and Todd Higley is paying himself rent on his empty garages he is calling mining sites. And since inception they have only mined a little over 5 coins since August 2021.

I'm not pumping. I've posted a fair and balance perspective. It's an OTC stock with most being trash. At least this isn't the worst out there. It's still worth a move above trips by my take.
You must have been quite the boy scout in your prime..

[surfkast]

I like to watch idiot pumpers make irrational claims so I can get a good laugh. I have followed Wade and his scams for many years. I have good reason to believe I was instrumental in some getting suspended and others going dark.
Bottom line is a I hate scammers, Especially CEO's! LOL
