Goofy, I recall when a few members began to doubt Rik, Maverick 81 vowed that if Rik turned out to be a scammer, he would become Rik's worst nightmare. Rik turned out to be a scam artist but Maverick disappeared.
Thinking
Hey Goofy R,
Thanks for your gracious greeting! I swing by now and then to chatch up. Thanks again for your patience and persistance.
Thinking
Aplology accepted. Thanks for the patience of Goofy and I-glow.
I used to be a leader in the MLM industry (I'm now happily retired). That's how I met and learned about Piccolo. We can judge a person by the friends he keeps. When Rik partnered with Piccolo, my jaw dropped: https://behindmlm.com/companies/vista-network-sues-phillip-piccolo-and-associates-for-fraud/.
I felt it would be irresponsible of me NOT to spread the warnings. I guess some heeded my alerts and saved money, while many ignored me and lost a bunch.
Thinking
Hey Rango, Thanks for the belated recognition! I’ve posted my alerts with supporting links since 2017. The red flag for me was when Rik aligned himself with Phil Piccolo, who I met personally. Complainers labeled him, “A one man crime wave”. So, that was it for me!
Thinking
Obviously, you failed to heed my warning(s).

Rik’s pattern shows he relies on the old saying, “Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it."
It appears, once posters tire of begging for crumbs of info, it’s time for Rick to go MIA and wait for a new flock of gullible investors. I’ve watched it repeated 4 years in a row. Obviously, Rik’s playbook works well for him, especially this round.

We all have our subjective level of tolerance.
I reached mine after proper DD in 2015. I’ve since witnessed an annual cycle of many fine NPHC, good faith posters reach theirs and move on. This is happening once again and if Rik plays slippery eel successfully, as he has for 20 years, it will happen next year and so on.

I admire your patience, I-Glow!. over 4 years ago (2017) a friend interested me in NPHC. I conducted my DD and was unimpressed. So, I responsibly posted my findings (see copy below) and invested in Crypto.

You will not hear this from almost all of the remaining shareholders because they're locked in and praying for a miracle, which will never come.
________________________________________________________________
I‘ve since watched the annual cycle of newbies who lacked the patience to conduct simple DD, to their peril.
If you check back, you’ll see a new group, once per year, who wake up the longs who subsequently encourage them with platitudes like “It’s the calm before the storm’, big $$ will be made, etc.gl, etc., etc. much like today’s cycle. As well as, volume dropping, posters begging for red meat. Later, trashing Rik. (It’s easy to check for accuracy.) That was before the SEC threat.
Back then, I was accused of deliberately attempting to lower the S/P so that I may purchase at a lower cost. Also, I’ve been rudely advised; “So, if that’s how you feel, sell your shares and leave this board”, as if it was a novel idea.

I found the link you requested:https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=136280020.
Thinking
Sorry, I didn't save the link. If you do a text search on Brewer in any of the the 10 Ks, you'll find him. Also, Google Jack Brewer himself and you'll see who he is. I don't think he has anything good to say about Rik, or it would not be held back.
Thinking
A few years ago, Deitsch proudly announced that former NFL great, Jack Brewer, who founded The Brewer Group, joined the NPHC team. There was a whole paragraph with accolades on Brewer and how is presence would enhance the value of NPHC
By the next filing, plus every filing since, Brewer was named as a creditor, NPHC was “in default and the terms are being negotiated”. A poster emailed Rik, questioning for details and Rik replied, “We love Jack and will arrive at an agreement very soon”. Never heard an update.
When Rik takes on a project, a strange thing happens…nothing!
Thinking
Thanks for your DD, I-Glow. I've been posting my DD for 3 years and got attacked...I rec'd some thanks too. This is one of my posts:
His own employees who formed a separate company (ReceptoPharm) likely for tax advantages, had to sue him for their salaries:
Involuntary Petition of Bankruptcy

The Petitioners are claiming a total of $990,927 due them in the form of accrued wages and a Note. On October 12, 2012 the Plaintiffs filed an amended Petition, in effect lowering their claims to $816,662.

Presumably, some heeded my warnings and moved on. As bad as my prognostication was then, it’s far worse now, assuming; the SEC staff is under tremendous pressure to justify prioritizing its investigation and prosecutorial budget.
Thinking
I'm very happy for you Rdizz23! I wish for everyone to get rich. But NPHC's future hinges on the character of Rik and he's proven so many times, his ethics are vapid. That's why I have no faith in the future.
Thinking
Those who deny the past are condemned to repeat it. As mentioned before, I’ve witnessed the NPHC Ferris wheel for 3 annual rotations. Others have reported 10. Please review this page from 2018. You’ll notice that almost all of the posters have moved on. If you follow the pages forward, you’ll see much frustration over Rik. And that was without the SEC threat.

Well, here we go again, maverick81: I’ve been here for over 3 years, and so have you. I briefly chronicled my observations last month:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=159806515
Another pattern I omitted is; Investors are constantly begging Rik for NPHC updates. Is that normal??? I’m certain the longs agree with my post(s). As with many times before, volume as well as SP drop daily…we’ll soon be back to the trips, where we belong.
Of course I hope I’m wrong because I want everyone to get rich. If, you’ve noticed, I’ve never LOL’d in any of my posts, but sadly, I’ve been correct all along when I said, “The value of NPHC, now hinges solely on the character of Rik Deitsch”, which continues to sorely lacking (For the past 10 years!).
GLTA,
Thinking
"Back to the trips" is a familiar experience with NPHC, RS138, as you are aware. It’s been happening annually for the past 3 years, after a new flock of zealots, without much DD, drives up the SP.
Thinking
This is why NPHC is a waste of time: If you check my posting history, you’ll find I’ve been here for over three years. I had originally planned to take a position but my DD revealed Rik’s dismal business history.
The deal breaker was Rik’s strategic partner, Phil Piccolo, who coincidentally, I had the displeasure of meeting and researched the financial damage in his wake. So, instead, I invested in crypto currencies and as you are aware, am extremely profitable. But I digress.
I’ve noticed, once per year, a fluke good day at NHPC, triggered an alert and a new flock of zealous investors buy in and post exuberant prognostications (check the past). I repeatedly warned, “The future of NPHC rests solely on the character of our CEO”. This is a sample of my alerts: https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=154348876
Within a couple of months, all moved on. And that was prior to the SEC charges. The same scenario happened annually for the past few years.
Another of Rik’s many failures: https://investorshub.advfn.com/GH-Solutions-Inc-GRSU-3388/
GLTA,
Thinking
Lately, former NFL player, Jack Brewer, who founded The Brewer Group, has been giving much financial and faith-based advice during TV interviews. It reminded me when Rik lauded in a PR the fact that Brewer joined the NPHC team.
By the next filing, Brewer was named as a creditor and the terms were “being negotiated”. A poster emailed Rik, questioning for details and Rik replied, “We love Jack and will arrive at an agreement very soon”. Never heard an update.
When Rik takes on a project, a strange thing happens…nothing!
Thinking
Thanks for your comment, adker. I drop by now and then to see which way the wind is blowing, because this case intrigues me.
To your point: I did not state or imply Rik’s guilt. I simply stated he has egregiously poor character, which almost all will agree…probably even Rik himself.
Having poor character is not against the law, however, statistically, it is endemic with almost all incarcerated individuals.
Thinking
Hey adker, if you recall, about half my postings warned, “The future of NPHC hinges on the character of the CEO”. And Rik proved the following:
The goal in life is to perfect your character before utilizing your gift, if you don’t perfect your character, your character will destroy the places your gift took you.
