Is there an indication on the GFY site that Verb is receiving a commision from the equity sales?
Regulation CF, under which GoFundYourself says it will be operating says:
all transactions under Regulation Crowdfunding to take place online through an SEC-registered intermediary, either a broker-dealer or a funding portal
Source: https://www.sec.gov/resources-small-businesses/exempt-offerings/regulation-crowdfunding
Perhaps the plan is to use a funding portal???

Let me, guess, you Aussies don't have constant TV advertisements for prescription drugs.
Some shows in the USA (60 Minutes, as an example) that attract...shall we say...a more mature audience...have one commercial after the next for this drug or that.
"Ask your Doctor if (insert name of prescription drug here) is right for you."
If only the panel of "Titans" were to ask Rory the same hard hitting questions about VERB.
Exactly what business are you in?
When will you become profitable?
What happened to the $ 200+ million that has already been entrusted to you with nothing to show for it except some 20 somethings appearing on TikTok pushing junky jewelry?
How has your Board allowed you to pivot from one failure to the next failure to the next failure while continuing to pay you a salary of nearly $ 1 million a year?
Rory would be laughed out of the building.
A lot of people are saying it.
Selling? LOL.
I popped onto the Market Live TikTok just now. There is a new twenty-something face hawking Temu quality crap jewelry. Fewer than 70 people were tuned in. The young lady is trying to unload 5 rings that cost $ 3 each. if all those rings sell that's $15 added to the top line revenue for VERB. Maybe $ 7 of gross profit?
Trouble is, VERB's fixed costs are over $ 30,000 each and every business day.
VERB. NASDAQ listed. LOL.
He also doesn't know the difference between boarder and border.
I know a guy who was an independent Boars Head route guy decades ago. In the Bronx.
The stories he tells about selling products to the bodegas and trying to get paid are pretty entertaining.
And most of his collections were in cash so he was a ripe target for being held up. He told me about one incident where he hopped back into the cab of his truck and before he could close the door a gun was pointed at his head. They wanted the cash.
Fortunately his most recent cash pick up was small and when the robber demanded the rest of his money the driver handed over a pouch truck he set aside specifically to hand over to an armed thief. The pouch had a couple of hundred dollars in it.
he thousands from his other pickups were safety stashed in a freezer compartment in the back of the truck.
My favorite is in the 1980s and into the 90s he would call in to various radio shows using a pseudonym (John Barron was one he used a lot) and would say complementary things about "that guy Donald Trump." He would also provide anonymous tips to the NYC gossip columnists trying to get his name in the paper.
A turd then and a bigger turd now.
Based on a personal observation or just conjecture?
If only someone would colorize episodes of "Mr. Ed" I'm sure TFG would start yammering about talking horses at his next rally.
That isn't true at all.
TFG conjures up lies all the time, whether it's the value of Mar-A-Shithole, how he "never even met that woman," the height of his buildings or the polls that said he won the debate with Harris in a bigly way. Those lies came out of his own swiss cheese brain as did thousands of others.
And why should he? The entire R ecosystem centers around shameless spewing of lies on various media platforms with very virtually no pushback or fact checking. And the viewers on Fox, Newsmax and the like just eat it up and parrot the talking points.
Vance is smart enough to know how easy it is to manipulate the MAGA base. And for that task he was a perfect choice to run with TFG.
Interesting comment coming from a guy who is married to an immigrant and who is running with a guy whose 2 of 3 wives were immigrants.
There are plenty of one issue voters. Heard lots saying a while back that they would never vote for Biden because they didn't think he was doing enough to rein in the Israelis. And yet the alternative would be TFG who said he would like to see the Palestinians driven into the sea so the waterfront property in Gaza could be turned into a seaside resort.
But I've given up listening to anyone who is undecided now.
JD doesn't believe the words that come out of his own mouth.
He's a tool.
Here's an article that might make your blood boil:
Pundits Said Harris Won the Debate. Undecided Voters Weren’t So Sure.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/11/us/politics/undecided-voters-react-debate.html?unlocked_article_code=1.KE4.c1wz.YH0QQl6Urbo9&smid=url-share
The people who expected Harris to talk specifics about how her plans will help them buy groceries or pay the rent....SHEESH. Did they want her to say that her first executive action as President will be to lower the price of Rice Krispies by 50%?
And then the other who says (paraphrasing) "yeah, she presented some good economic ideas but what if Congress doesn't go along?"
Good point, voter. So what does that tell you about voting for Senate and House candidates?
The stupidity that exists in America is just maddening.
When my company was a reseller of HP products I had to take annual about anti-bribery training.
Less than a year after that training was mandated, HP's old employees were found to have paid bribes to win business.
The property had been slated to be in the Township's next tax sale (meaning someone else would buy the debt and pay the Town) but because a payment was made on August 16 the property got removed from the tax sale.
The purpose of the tax sale is to have a 3rd party pay the back taxes on behalf of the property owner. That process is that 3rd parties bid DOWN the interest rate. I suppose it's possible that 510 Hamilton Associates would be better off if someone bid the rate down to say 5%. If the debt buyer thinks there is a good chance they will foreclose they might even bid the rate down to 0%.
Given that no one seems to really know who owns the LLC and there could be multiple mortgages or liens on the property it's also possible no one would buy the debt.
Because the third quarter property taxes were not paid on the 510 Hamilton building by the end of the grace period (September 10) the interest on the delinquent taxes for that quarter was calculated back to the original due date of August 1.
Hamilton Street Associates now owes $ 269k in back taxes and interest with interest continuing to accumulate at 18% per year.
Mark Kay recently had a putting green installed in his backyard and he leased a shiny new BMW. Oh, and he spent July and August in Tuscany.
I'm surprised he didn't send you a GREETINGS FROM TUSCANY postcard since you helped pay for the trip.
Like you said. Give it time.

The board of directors. LOL.
From the most recent Q:
Have you checked the TikTok channel? What is going on there is quite sad. The two twenty-somethings beg people to buy the last $20 of merchandise so they can go home early.
A NASDAQ listed company.
The word "leading" has no meaning. It's a throwaway word that I've seen a multitude of times, even for businesses that have zero revenue.
The requirements to become a Pinterest Verified Merchant are simple to achieve. Rory has a history of issuing PRs about integrations and partnerships that are meaningless. Remember how VERB was going to "partner" with Microsoft, SalesForce, Marketo and Oracle? None of those relationships provided meaningful revenue for VERB.
This new partnership with Pinterest appears to be more of the same.
Based on the movement of the stock today, it's apparent that people are wise to Rory's penchant for hyperbole.
Yes. I would say truly that stupid.
For shits and giggles, have you looked to see what tuition is for a 2024 freshman at that school?
I just looked at the cost at my alma mater. Undergraduate tuition ($61k), fees, room and board total cost: $ 87,860.
$1 from my year of graduation is worth (inflation wise) $ 2.80 today. And yet tuition has gone up 5x during that period.
Yikes.
In addition to Jamie being on the payroll, Greg Rotman is still part of the grift:
Blue Oar Consulting, Inc. (“Blue Oar”) provides business consulting services to the Company. This entity is owned by Gregory Rotman, who is the son of the Company’s CEO, Steven Rotman. Blue Oar provides business consulting services to the Company. In exchange for such services, the Company has entered into a consulting agreement with the related party entity. Per the consulting agreement, Blue Oar is to be paid $15,000 per month in cash for expenses, and $12,500 per month to be paid in shares based on a 20-day average at a 50% discount to market. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company expensed approximately $580,000 related to the consulting agreement. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a stock subscription payable balance of $1,030,112, or approximately 72,612,000 shares to be issued in the future and $225,000 of consulting expenses in accounts payable.
The young actor who appeared in that scene has had more than his share of difficulties:

Yes. But I also have to say that the facilities that existed when I was in college (I believe my tuition senior year was $ 12k) was ghetto compared to what schools have now. Virtually limitless student loans have allowed tuition and fees to rise to astronomical levels and (in addition to additional layers of administrators) the recreational, arts and other options for students have expanded a great deal.
The latest David Meltzer vanity project is about to launch. And who is alongside him? Our beloved Rory Cutaia.

Go Fund Yourself is a rip-off of Shark Tank where entrepreneurs appear before a panel of judges to make their pitch for a business idea and then ask for money to fund the project. Viewers of the show then have the opportunity to invest in the venture.
I wonder what the legal legal ramifications are of allowing the general public to provide money to the entrepreneurs. Who is responsible for the due diligence? What happens if the money isn't spent as was represented during the presentation? Talk about a land mine.
Here's our favorite CEO as one of the show's "Titans" asking the tough questions. I think an entrepreneur should ask how Rory was able to spend $ 200 million and end up with a TikTok channel that does almost no business.
And here is Rory's profile as a judge"
And here's what viewers and companies are saying about the show. Take note that the first episode has not aired yet and check out what John Doe says as well as Jane and Sarah are saying - both of whom look like dudes to me.
I got an answer about why no interest charges are showing on the property taxes for 510 Hamilton for the 3rd quarter of 2024.
The town sent tax bills out late so they extended the grace period (no interest is charged) until September 10. If the 3rd quarter taxes are not paid by September 10 then the interest will be calculated based on the original due date of August 1.

I buy frozen Brussels sprouts year round. They aren't as good as fresh, but they are already prepped and so easy to defrost in the microwave and then roast in the oven.
Unlike TFG whose can't go more than a few hours without adulation from his base (flashback: watching him almost in tears when he was booed at a baseball game some years back was just precious), JD is a smug prick that doesn't care if people like him or not. I'm sure his life's motto is "It's better to be feared than to be liked."
JD wants to rule over all of us and he's subjects himself to the campaign process because he's counting on TFG kicking the bucket while in office so he can be a supreme ruler looking down upon his subjects.
Like meatball Ron, JD may possibly be more dangerous than TFG.
As someone who graduated from Wharton with a BS in Economics I can tell you that the undergraduate business business has been around for a very long time, possibly pre-dating the MBA program. At the time I attended it was ranked the #1 undergraduate business school in the U.S. while the graduate school, if memory serves, #3 behind Stanford and Harvard.
Funny that. I swim for exercise and a Bentley student (who is on the college swim team) and I shared a swim lane several times this summer. He asked me if my small company is hiring...he doesn't graduate until May of 2025 so he was getting a bit ahead of himself. FWIW he seemed like a bright fellow, majoring in Computer Science.
For the record, my alma mater was #13.
I think many of us are going to wait for the feature film. Starring Stormy Daniels as Melania.
