Indeed. They tend to bank on the fact that 9 out of 10 of these OTC stocks won't make it, but unfortunately for them VPLM has the goods. It's a hole they dig that gets deeper and deeper as those holding long-term refuse to sell and as monumental developments take place (patent issuance).. it all results in an oh-sh*! moment at some point.
Maybe you should contact the paid promoter about deleting their write-up? Assuming of course, they are in fact paid by the scam known as VPLM
MM games for sure, and it can't be more obvious.
You still haven't given any proof of any claim you continue to make. So the patents/applications are scam? The assignments today were also a scam?
Spec, some still believe that this news, although recorded and official, is somehow make believe and part of the "pump" scheme. I'm thinking perhaps that the patent office is in on the whole scam and that the up and coming RBR patent is also ficticious.
All kidding aside any short positions will be TOAST when a formal offer is announced ESPECIALLY if the RBR issuance is made. The negativity out there has zero substance, zero credibility, and the desperation is comical (siting irrelevant material, two year old articles, etc).
Prove your statement.

They need to make a living as well, and the MM's probably have no clue about the actual company, value of patent(s), etc. The tightening of ranges, the drops on tiny trades, it all is very obvious what's going on.
"They" know that when there's lots of activity buying the stock, VPLM or otherwise, that at some point the same buyers will want to unload if the price is stagnant or drops, hence the occasional tree shaking.
From what I can see the tree shaking is having less and less of an effect on prices, like the most recent sudden drops to mid 2's and 3. It's fairly obvious the those who hold the stock will do so until "something big" occurs, and MM's are not long term holders. They probably have not a clue what RBR means, let alone what potential value the combination of patents presents. MM's live for the day, but in the current environment seeing how the tree shaking is only setting loose a few shares, it's only a matter of time before they're buying high to cover.
The game playing works with an OTC stock with low volume and most importantly, no product/technology to market. The day will come when they take a beating. Until then it's a good time to go shopping.
AS I STATED LOAD UP WHILE IT'S CHEAP

patents are sound, hence the news release yesterday to reaffirm. Game playing, these patents are ground breaking and lots of people want them
Hoping they can Flux it down to under 3 cents today
I second that. Loading up while it's cheap.

Slicric these are the days to go shopping for deals. The MM's lined up in full court press, trying to squeeze out some bargains.
Is that it? Come on, get it down to 2 cents!
Come on, get me some two cent shares, I'm shopping today
And like clockwork it happens..
Get ready to pick up some cheap shares, these wild and crazy MM's are at it again.
The Dow and the Nasdaq have literally nothing to do with how this stock trades. It is 100% speculative upon the value of the patent issued and the patents pending.
proved my point, two posts deleted again, and no merit to their deletion whatsoever. GLTA and to helle with such a biased forum. Shorts are going to be slaughtered.
2 answers.
First, USPTO - this is public information, you can look it up every day to see when notice issued.
Second, DTC lists are available to the public on a daily basis as well. This will show when VPLM removed from "chill".
Sunspotter, you seem to be disgruntled and perhaps baffled by the movement in this stock. I am with you in your thoeries, and I too seriously doubted this company at one time...
Until the notice of allowance. It's real. And on the naked short selling of OTC stocks, the practice is alive and well and happens on a regular basis - WITHOUT promulgation by insiders. Whether it's happening on VPLM shares or not, who knows, as there's no way to know precisely who or how much, but you can bet it's occured.
For VPLM where have you seen insiders telling the public that naked shorts are the reasons for the decrease in valuation? The answer is nowhere, as it's not happening, and there's been no devaluation. The increase in price seems to be an accumulation of the stock, as more and more are recognizing this is not a hype job, it's the real deal. And most importantly, it's quite valuable.
I ask you this as I have thrown out previously: What is the inherent risk now that notice of allowance is out on lawful intercept AND knowing that a pending patent on RBR is likely to follow soon? To date there are no responses that answer that question.
Off subject here. The pop up ads on this site are beyond ridiculous.
The minute any of the "acquisition talks" are put to paper, this stock will gap up in a very big way. Only ten grand worth of paper between today's price and 4 cents, at this moment, and we will soar past that on any written intent for acquisition and/or the second patent allowance. Good luck with the naked shorts at that point..
The stats showing 10,000 short is entirely inaccurate. Those are REPORTED numbers and don't include the illicit naked shorts that I've heard are as high as 10 MILLION VPLM shares. These OTC stocks are the old wild west and unfortunately anything goes. There's probably a lone shorter or two with a legit margin account and "legit" borrowing of 10,000 shares. The rest are stark naked, trust me. And they aren't published on any site you will ever visit.
The only successful squeeze will come with an acquistion, and the lawful intercept patent now makes that a reality.
Sunspotter, I too agree that this company, patents excluded, has nothing. However, like it or not, the lawful intercept and likely RBR issuance, is something to take a serious look at. And it's coming straight from the USPTO, not hear-say, not rumor. I don't care if it were VPLM or some other company, this patent is GIGANTIC which is why I am here. We're not hearing about the patent from some penny stock newsletter or a stock chat board, it's REAL.
I for one generally stay very far away from any stock under a buck, as those in the penny to 75 cent range that trade 250,000 to a million shares a day, are PRIME naked short territory.
I'd love to hear about the downside risk involved now that the notice of allowance is out and the 2nd patent will most likely be issued shortly, creating a hell of a package deal. It's not funding operations, and it's not pie in the sky type stuff that's for sure. Give us some reasons this patent will be of no value to a suitor, am interested in hearing from you on this..
About half a million shares sold in the .028-029 area all within 30 minutes of trading day close..
Check your stats on the powers of the board and the controlling percentages. They don't need your written approval.
What it means is that at the time the acquisition is formally commenced, the stock is halted. Instead of owning X number of shares in your brokerage account you will then own the according amount of cash. That will be a good day, and we will all have to relocate to another board here. Or maybe a beach.
Check with your brokerage to see what fees will apply, as they all will charge something in cases of cash sale of a company.
My impression is that there are fewer and fewer sellers each day that are quick buck types. It might actually be sinking in to many that they should hang on to their positions for the true payout which will occur upon official acquisition.
Actually it was 355K then 100K taken out right away, now it's at 400K so seller has some shares they want to unload. Then again, we're talking about $8K worth of stock.
Peanuts in the big picture.
Less than $40,000 separates today's share price from .10
Granted new sellers would arrive in a spike situation, but I think that a short covering on any meaningful news would easily put this over a dime.
You're probably right but like to stay conservative. The missing piece is the other patent. IMO that is what will create a $1-2 stock, the combo of patents. There will be that much value to a "Fortune 500 company" ...
I am in the .25 camp by mid 2013.
Management needs to do absolutely nothing. With this patent you better believe the big boys are coming to them, end of story. Management could care less about day to day share prices. They are paid and have vested ownership to make one thing happen. SELL the company, and do it for as much as possible.
There's no need to promote the patent issuance on Fox or CNN, they're way past that dog and pony show. Trust me, those companies with true interest as a suitor, already know well in advance and don't sit around watching mainstream media to get their information.
I can tell you my 2 cents here. It was standard buying the rumor, but nobody's selling the news, for the most part. The acquisition talk PR peaked some interest from some, but the reality is why would anyone who acquired stock sell the news of patent issuance? They'd be an idiot to do so. Volume kicked up a notch because there will always be traders, but those who are buying and selling for a few bucks profit, will ultimately kick themselves for being so short-sighted. And there are shorts as well, tough to track on the OTC, but you can bet there will be a scramble to cover once a formal acquisition proposal is in writing.
If you own the stock, like I do, then why on earth sell anything knowing the notice of allowance has been issued? Don't be so quick to make judgments on day to day activity, as a tenth or hundredth here and there means squat.
I still stand on my personal belief that a quarter per share MINIMUM, is what this patent is worth. Combined with the routing patent I wouldn't be surprised if it's double or triple that.

I'm hoping that "Spec_Investor" is forced to become simply... "Investor" shortly.
All I know is that I know very few others that are more skeptical than myself. I'm a "prove it to me" kind of person, so when the company announced a generic news release stating they were in acquisition talks, I was doubtful. The company has a lackluster history and tons of squabble regarding past dealings, lies, etc.
The turning point was seeing the patent issuance. This is no joke, and now it doesn't matter what you think of the company's past, its management, the way its handled its business relationships, and so on. This isn't some fly by night product that's getting pumped up - this is the real deal. And it's quite likely it will be the real deal X2 very soon which, in my opinion and others, will create tremendous value over the lawful intercept patent alone.
The key right now is to ask yourself: What downside risk is there at an $8 million market cap with no "pending" status to worry about any longer wtih respect to lawful intercept? I welcome any info from any of you that might have meaningful insight. The only one I see has to do with cash flow and maintaining operations while these talks get put in writing. And with a patent in hand I don't see any chance of operations having difficulty obtaining such funding as needed.
Put them together and you have, in my opinion, a $1 or $2 stock.
AKA The company has been granted acceptance as a patent and is no longer a patent pending.
You are correct, this is outstanding. If I were short on this company I'd be very concerned. Correction, I'd be covering my arse. And quickly.
