Why should anyone whose time is valuable waste it on someone whose time and track record are utterly lacking in merit?
Bolt's threats are a pathetic joke the same as are the fruits of all his schemes for ill gotten gains and the same as is his allegations that a jury rejected the evidence against him. That evidence was dismissed without prejudice (meaning it could be filed again) when the government made the still incomprehesible decision to proceed solely on their sting operation.
The last thing Bolt should ever want to see is a trial where all the real evidence could be brought into the light of day.
Just curious, but I seem to have missed Bolt's calling himself a doctor? How many Nobel prizes has he been nominated for so far?

Re: demand for retraction
Dear Mr. Isaacs,
ShimodaAtlantic and various of its employees are in the final stages of preparing civil litigation attendant to the institution, maintenance and malicious prosecution of a criminal case in the matter of the United States v. Bolt, et al., case 06-50059-001, U. S. District Court, W.D. Arkansas. The week before the case went to trial in March 2007, the government was presented with overwhelming evidence that about half of its "evidence" relating to Xenavex was in fact the product of false statements made to federal agencies by various private individuals. The result was that on the eve of the trial, the government dismissed all aspects of the case relating to Xenavex and in turn provided volumes of documents as to how those false statements came to be made to it. After four days of trial the jury was out for less than 90-minutes and signed acquittals for all defendants on all counts thereby ending the litigation.
The Department of Justice, as part of its obligations to disclose to the defendants all material related to the investigation leading to the trial, kindly provided a large number of documents that eventually revealed the origins of the malicious prosecution. It will come as no surprise to you that your name figured prominently in those disclosures.
Having reviewed your statements to federal authorities and others, it is apparent that you engaged in a parallel course of internet publishing activities designed and calculated to disseminate false and misleading information about the company and its products, in particular, Xenavex. To that end, you have published a number of libelous statements in various venues. We are finalizing our due diligence now and as we come across these libelous statements, it is our intention to bring them to your attention together with a demand for retraction. The purpose of this notification process is to provide a clear basis upon which to sue you for libel should you fail to correct or retract.
Given the numerous false statements you made to federal agents coupled with libelous public statements you made prior to and after the trial, we assert that your libel has been deliberate and malicious and that it was and is your intention to defame and injure the trademark and product value of Xenavex as well as Shimoda Atlantic, its trade name and reputation.
Among the libelous statements we have observed in print attributable to you, we bring this recent one to your attention. It comes from a blog on the website http://leapingrealeyes.blogspot.com/2008/04/oleander-soup-for-cancer.html
"Within just the past three years, a third competing company appeared by the name of Shimoda Atlantic Oncology Biosciences, and claimed to have developed its own oleander extract named Xenavex™ which it claimed was much stronger due to an ethanol extraction method.
As it turned out, I and others exposed the company as a fraud that was created to cheat investors and the drug was actually a heart medication imported from Russia. Furthermore, although the imported Russian medicine does have slightly higher concentrations of oleandrin, the ethanol extraction method results in the loss of other compounds that researchers believe work together in a synergistic way to make oleander extract so powerful (over 500 trace compounds have been identified in an aqueous, or water, oleander extract, including vital long-chain polysaccharides that are lost in ethanol extraction methods because they precipitate out during the extraction process)."
The statement that you made, "I and others exposed the company as a fraud that was created to cheat investors." As you well knew at the time of making this statement, what you had done in truth and in fact was make a series of false statements to various government agencies about matters within their jurisdiction, and you did so for the specific and successful purpose of obtaining a false and malicious prosecution.
You further stated: "and the drug was actually a heart medication imported from Russia." Xenavex, as we believe you well knew and know, is made in our FDA registered, cGMP facility; it is labeled as a legend drug and listed in the National Drug Code database under entry NDC14213-001-01/02&03." The drug has been the subject of a number of FDA approved single-patient IND waivers (for indication and route of administration). The drug has, at all times material to your libelous activities, is and has been lawful for physician prescribing in the United States for its labeled indications as well as off-label use. We carefully control access to the drug since it is a digitalizing cardenolide.
You conclusion as to the pharmacology of Xenavex, in particular, " the ethanol extraction method results in the loss of other compounds that researchers believe work together in a synergistic way to make oleander extract so powerful (over 500 trace compounds have been identified in an aqueous, or water, oleander extract, including vital long-chain polysaccharides that are lost in ethanol extraction methods because they precipitate out during the extraction process," is simply unfounded and misleading. We would be most interested in your bringing to our attention any credible published study supporting that absurd statement. The ethanolic extraction process is the only process approved by the FDA for manufacture of this drug. No part of Xenavex is now or has ever been made in Russia; it is entirely of U.S. manufacture.
In point of fact, the very first batch of Xenavex was manufactured from Ozelle Pharmaceutical's organic oleander plot near San Antonio, Texas after they abandoned it to the nursery owner.
Lastly, you state: "I and others exposed the company as a fraud that was created to cheat investors." Well Mr. Isaacs, a jury in a federal criminal trial heard all the evidence that the government could conjure and they heard that same exact argument from a prosecutor sent all the way from Washington D.C., to make it to them. The jury literally laughed at the U.S. Attorney once the trial was over. Your statement above appears to have been made on Sunday, April 13, 2008. The acquittal was handed down on March 15, 2007. Accordingly, your statement, as you well knew at the time of its making, was and is patently false and malicious and we believe it was made with actual malice.
Your libelous statements are currently published electronically in Benton County, Arkansas, and constitute libel predicated on actual malice. Demand is therefore made upon you, and, opportunity is afforded you at this time to correct such statements as we complain of. We have provided you with ample facts to illustrate the libelous nature of your statements, and demand for correction or retraction is made upon you.
Demand is further made upon you to cease and desist in the making of any further such false, misleading, incomplete and/or false statements regarding Shimoda Atlantic, Xenavex or any of its products or business operations. We further demand that you immediately retract and/or correct all other similar false statements appearing in any venue we have not specifically identified above, as they apply to Shimoda Atlantic or its products, including Xenavex.
Sincerely,
/s/ Jim Bolt

The suit that Shimoda brought against the undercover agents and the United States was dismissed today with prejudice by the U.S.District Court of the Western District of Arkansas.
And whatever you ladies do,
don't let him give you any cancer medications!
A good and holy man, no doubt
"The weekend, which includes lodging, meals, a participant's fee and materials, costs $165. A deposit of $30 is due two weeks before the weekend, with the balance payable on the weekend or in a series of installments."
Hmmm, when he took his wife to the cancer clinic and stiffed them, it foreshadowed Shammoda and the fake cancer drug. I wonder if there might be a healing retreats scam on the horizon?
Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall in a certain confessional?
Given your past record of truth and lawfulness
I wonder if anyone believes a single syllable that you utter.
Rant and fabricate away as is your history. It is a waste of my time, and anone else's on this forum, trying to debate a sociopath liar who never speaks the truth when a lie can be uttered.
Enjoy yourself - you are likely to be your only audience from this point forward, but given your penchant for aliases, that should pose no problem.
"Vengeance is a dish best served cold."
So is balogna.
And I hear that an old acquaintence is back
crowing about the government blowing the first case and practicing the usual transference of accusing others of his own misdeeds.
I also hear that the information about Rumble is about as legitimate as Xenavex - or a story in the Arkansas Chronicle, for that matter.
Indictments? It's actual clinical trials some of us have been waiting on. How about just a real application for one? And THEN let's see the Rumble-ing begin.
Don't hold your breath on any actual clinical trials
ever being conducted by that "Cancer Company".
FDA CDER Ombudsman Warren Rumble has made it quite clear that Shimoda Atlantic has never actually applied for a clinical trial (the announcement of self-posted and oft postponed trials at locations TBD on their bogus website is as illusory as the rest of the website), but the FDA will be keenly interested if they ever do so based on the information furnished the FDA.
Not only that but a lot of the people there
have the same DNA.
That, Scad, is the question of the day!
I have no clue - it is mindboggling. Unless I am mistaken, the Talon sting operation was originally set up for another sting - and didn't that also result in a lack of convictions for the most part?
You may be right, Scad
All I am saying is that the government has considerably more evidence of wrongdoing than they ultimately pursued. Whether they ever do anything with it is anybody's guess - and given the way they botched this trial, it may be doubtful.
I claim no "secret: knowledge - just the sure knowledge of a lot of the evidence that they were furnished and investigated on more than one front.
I wonder what happened to the investigation that was being pursued by attorneys for the Arkansas SEC - do you see Balfe's involvement in that, or was it just co-opted by the Feds?
(My dreamworld, btw, is called Texas and it is hardly a winter wonderland, as I am wearing shorts and flipflops at the moment - lol.)
Bolt best watch his steps
Not that he will do so, but Bolt better watch who he goes after and what he does - there remains a wealth of irrefutable evidence of wrongdoing that has not been pursued, at least not yet. And you can bet that many are watching him closely - just as they were on him from the word "go" when he began the Shimoda scam.
I predict that there will be yet another scam - there always is.
Amen Brother!
I know for an absolute fact that multiple agencies had plenty to nail Bolt with and that a pretty high powered US Attorney in Washington headed up a multi-agency probe into Bolt and Shimoda. Why in the world would the government sabatoge all of the work investigating the misdeeds he orchestrated and committed on his own?
Note that other charges were dropped "without prejudice" and can thus be re-filed later - but my question is why in the world shoot yourself in the foot by going after him on a crappy sting set-up in the first place?
To me, it would seem that such an action has placed Bolt in the position of claiming that he has already cleared himself in the event of new charges and that such new charges are just harassment and a vendetta on behalf of the government.
If this is not an example of amazing incompetency and miscalculation, there is more than meets the eye here. One can only hope.
For once I am speechless
What in the hell is wrong with this picture? There almost has to be more to this than meets the eye - not questioning Dodge's credibility, streamlining the case, all of the information all of the agencies have on them?
Once I wondered about the penny stock companies including GECC that were caught up in Operation Uptick and linked to 5 east coast crime syndicates, which are now infiltrated by the Russian mafia, and thought about the fact that the source of Xenavex was Russia, but I figured that was too much of a stretch . . . but now I wonder?
Something is badly, badly wrong here!
I am totally amazed!
While the jury's out, a bit of reading material:
I am surprised to see the streamlining of the case, considering all the misdeeds of Bolt's regarding Shimoda and Xenavex and all of the information that myself and others furnished. It was not for lack of trying! Here is just one single email message among what turned out to be scores of messages which provides an early glimpse of the beginnings of a long period of revelations and correspondence. Note that the reply from the FDA clearly demonstrates that Bolt and Shimoda never actually applied for clinical trials. Note also, the frantic reactions from Bolt once information was posted that questioned Shimoda's validity just at the time that he thought he had a big investor from Dubai biting on his hook as the first investor in what he planned to ultimately be a $15 Million dollar fundraising scam.
Enjoy!

Dear Mr. Isaacs,
Thank you for contacting me about the potential to investigate and market a fraudulent drug. At this time FDA can't do anything about the situation. However, when the company applies to the FDA to initiate clinical trials your information will be very valuable to us. Further, when the company offers their stock to the public the SEC will be very interested in your information.
I appreciate you providing this information and I will ask our staff that investigates clinical trials to retain your information for the time when the company initiates clinical trials.
Yours truly,

Subject: Concerns about Shimoda-Atlantic Oncology Biosciences
Dear Sirs/Madams -
I have recently been the object of threats and harassment by a company that goes by the name of Shimoda-Atlantic Oncology Biosciences - a company whose members are now known to include ex-convicts and investment scam artists - or so the evidence indicates. They are desperately trying to locate me to quiet me and I think that the reason for this is that I may have inadvertantly mentioned something in web forum post that they are trying to keep from seeing the light of day - namely that this company may be nothing more than a sham and may be involved in a massive investment scam.
Part of this scam may involve an experimental drug named Xenavex that is supposed to someday enter into FDA phase I/II trials. The announced trial dates, however, keep getting postponed (the latest target is "mid 2005 according to their website at www.shimod-atlantic.com), the locations are still listed as "TBD" and the trials are still not open to patient recruitment. While the trial dates keep getting postponed and no facilities can be located for this mysterious company, their website also mentions that they intend to take the company public the first half of 2005. Given all that I have learned since they insanely targeted me for threats and an all-out effort to locate me, I think the FDA needs to be informed. Following is information and emails that I have turned over to various federal, state and local authorities and others. I think you will find the information enlightening. Also, please be advised that I have confirmed that this company is the object of multiple ongoing federal and state investigations.
This company, through someone whom I believe to be an agent of theirs and whose email identity is BBatenov@yahoo.com, has contacted several patients of a rival company, Phoenix Biotech and switched them from the experimental drug Anvirzel to the Xenavex product of Shimoda, telling the patients, among other things, that Phoenix's drug is poorly made, that Xenavex is "40 times stronger" due to a much higher oleandrin concentration (which, if true, to me would indicate a potentially fatal dose of cardiac glycosides, since oleandrin cross assays for digoxin), and that Shimoda has a "class 10" lab facility (although no facilities can be located for Shimoda other than an office at a small retail strip center in Springdale, Arkansas). It gets much more interesting, I promise, so please read my information.
This is not a company that I would trust to ever deliver a real medical product, and I have grave doubts about what they have been delivering so far!
Please note that all of the emails I have sent to various authorities about this company, as well as most of the information I have gathered, only happened after they refused to stop harassing me, hacking into my computer and trying to find me. Until that point, I really didn't care about Shimoda other than harbor some misgivings about their legitimacy.
Thank you for your attention. I sincerely hope that by contacting you I will enable you to help thwart a medical and investment scam from being foisted on the American Public.

Copy of an email sent March 29, 2005 to Harry Layne with the U.S. Department of Justice's U. S. Marshall Service Headquarters in Washington, DC and his email to me:
Mr. Layne -
Thank you for your reply. I too view impersonation of a U.S. Marshall very seriously, especially when it is done on behalf of elements associated with ex-felons and possible fugitives from justice who are desperately trying to locate me. In addition to contacting ex-employers, co-workers and acquaintances far and wide, they have also bragged about hacking into my computer and there is some evidence of that having happened. Perhaps for that reason, you can understand my reluctance to give my exact address at this time. However, you may note that I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, not far from Fort Worth and that, in addition to this email address, I also may be reached at 214-755-2672, any time of the day or night.
The impersonation occurred on Monday, March 21, 2005 at the offices of Statewide Adjusters located at 505 Main Street in Garland, Texas 75040. Their primary phone number is 927-494-6263. Two individuals visited the office that day and spoke with the owner, Dave Denn and employee Tracy Gray. One identified himself as Gerald Bernstein with Shimoda-Atlantic and left a phone number of 479-751-4700, which is a number for Shimoda-Atlantic in Arkansas. The other person, whose name no one got, was identified as a U.S. Marshall and, according to what I have been told, he mostly stood by silently while Mr. Bernstein tried to get information about my address and vehicle description. There is some confusion on this matter at the moment, as Tracy Gray, who walked in on the conversation after it began, believes that it was Mr. Bernstein who identified himself as a U.S. Marshall. There is no doubt that one of the two identified themselves in such a manner. Mr. Bernstein also made allegations during his conversation/interrogation that I had been turned over to both the FBI and Homeland Security. Amazing! I have reason to believe that Mr. Bernstein may be the notorious two-time convicted felon Jim Bolt, who has been reported to be a current fugitive from justice who is being sought in connection with the Terry Nichols trial.
I have been reliably informed that the Shimoda-Atlantic company is the subject of more than one current federal and state investigations, with others likely to follow. I hope that they are brought to justice soon and will help you any way I can - it is more than a little disconcerting for these kind of people to be actively searching for me. The latest information I have is that they claim to have hacked into my computer and people I have not emailed in many months have reported getting emails from Mr. Bernstein asking for contact information for me.
You might note that I contacted the regional U.S. Marshall's office in Dallas about this matter and was told to just contact the FBI. I was somewhat surprised that whomever it was I spoke to did not seem to place much importance on what I had to tell her.
Thanks again for your reply and your attention.

Copy of an email sent to John Moore with the State of Arkansas Securities Commission:
John -
I thought I emailed you the following information earlier today, but now I cannot find a copy in my sent email folder, so I am sending you another. It would not surprise me if I some of my emails are now missing, as I have reason to believe that someone connected with Shimoda may have hacked into my emails.
Following is the information that I have sent to others and that you and I discussed today on the telephone. I hope this information helps in your investigation and any litigation that may ensue as a result of your efforts. Certainly it is apparent that something is not right here - and I hope that someone is able to rein in these nefarious people.
As you may recall from our conversation, the person who forwarded my forum posts to Shimoda is a character who goes by the identity of Boris Batenov (yes, the one from Rocky and Bullwinkle) and sometimes Natashya Fatale. His email identity is Bbatenov@yahoo.com. Some people have surmised that he is one and the same as the so-called Gerald Bernstein who is involved in the following information and also one and the same as Jim Bolt, twice-convicted felon and associated with both Shimoda and GECC.
Both "Boris" and Shimoda deny being connected, but he has touted Shimoda many times on forum posts and has contacted users of the experimental drug Anvirzel and caused them to switch to Shimoda's experimental drug Xenavex. For some reason, he has an insane vendetta against Pheonix Biotech and the Honduran clinic Salud Integral, who furnish Anvirzel. He has been banned from several internet forums and has attempted to put up several attack forums directed at his enemies, all of which have been promptly pulled by Yahoo.
Thanks for taking the time to visit with me and hear and share my concerns.

This is a copy of the email I sent on March 28, 2005, to John Reed Stark at the U. S. Securities & Exchange Commission:
John -
Last week I sent an email to your office regarding the threats and harassment I have been receiving from a company named Shimoda-Atlantic Oncology Biosciences because they objected to a couple of posts I made the previous week on a small obscure internet forum site with less than 150 members. In one of my posts, I mentioned that I had heard rumors that the company might be less than legitimate, perhaps a pump and dump scheme, although the majority of my post had nothing to do with their company. Their immediate and following reactions have been completely out of proportion and so I can only assume that I must have come very close to exposing something they do not want to see the light of day. I note that on their website (www.shimoda-atlantic.com) they list plans of taking the company public the first half of 2005.
They have promised to sue me and find me in a series of harassing emails and made various other false claims, such as having contacted yahoo's legal department, the FBI, etc. They also had two people visit my revious office last Monday, one of whom posed as a U.S. Marshall. And, they have emailed various people, some of whom they could only have gotten the email addresses by hacking my computer, trying to find me. Since one of the people associated with Shimoda is twice-convicted felon and swindler Jim Bolt, I think I have reason to be disconcerted. What legitimate company behaves this way?
Despite an impressive website, the address used to register the website, 812 N. Thompson, Suite F in Springdale, Arkansas is a small retail strip center, where the leasing agent says they have trouble paying their rent on time. No other facilities for Shimoda can be located in Arkansas. Their announced FDA trial on the experimental drug Xenavex continues to be postponed at locations "TBD" and patients are still not being recruited for the trial, which now is alleged to begin "mid-2005" (which strikes me as convenient timing since that is about the time they should be converted to a public company according to their posted timetable.).
The person listed as the Director of Shimoda, Scott Ervin, is also the new CEO of GECC, a company you can read about at www.ragingbull.com by entering the symbol GECC and reading the posts. Ervin was previously the CEO of Nano Signal Corps (enter the signal NNOS to read about that one). A picture of Jim Bolt and the less than impressive GECC headquarters can be found at http://www.longandshortreports.com/photos.php and the story of the company can be found at
www.longandshortreports.com/profiles.php.
Two revealing stories about a past endeavor of Mr. Ervin's can be found at
http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2004/Jun-29-Tue-2004/news/24200151.html
and
http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2004/Jun-27-Sun-2004/news/24192994.html
Reportedly, several other people who are or have been associated with GECC and Nano Signals are now associated with Shimoda. The Shimoda website claims that they are part of a parent company named the Shimoda Corporation, allegedly a DOD contractor. Although their "in-house counsel" lists a California number on his latest emails and claims now to be from the Santa Monica division of Shimoda, no California addresses for Shimoda can be found either. And Mister Bernstein, who is not licensed to practice law in any state in the U.S. is using a number that goes to a cellphone with no ownership information - I can only surmise that it is one of those pre-aid phones in a box that you get at the local convenience store. As the above two articles show, what is claimed by these folks is not always what is real.
It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to find out that, despite what some of their emails allege to me, no one with Shimoda-Atlantic has contacted the legal department of yahoo. Despite the fact that much of the information contained in their emails has proven false, I nevertheless believe that their concerted efforts to locate me are sinister in nature. As of this past Friday, this company and their minions was continuing to try to find me via email addresses likely hacked from my computer - and I can think of no good reason why. I view them as dangerous, and, given the kind of people associated with them, very likely to be involved in something they want desperately to keep covered up.
Good luck in uncovering whatever this group is really up to. I am currently in contact with the Dallas offices of the FBI and U. S. Marshall's Office, and have sent information on the company and the people associated to various other agencies, corporations and media in the hopes that they will be stopped before the harassment and threats turn into something more dire.

Following is a copy of the email I sent to various federal and state agencies, corporations and media on Tuesday, March 22, 2005:
Dear Sirs/Madams -
Could you please help me out. I am being harassed by someone allegedly named Gerald Bernstein, who may be posing as an attorney in Arkansas, and by an Arkansas company he represents by the name of Shimoda-Atlantic Oncology Biosciences, who may have also hired someone to pose as a U.S. Marshall in order to threaten me. They have not only harassed myself and other Yahoo members and threatened to sue me and put me in jail, but have promised to do so. They have also threatened or promised legal action against my former employer and co-workers, Yahoo and AOL-Time Warner, and the companies of Phoenix Biotech and Ozelle Pharmaceuticals (neither of which I represent). Now they are further threatening to harass a former co-worker who is a stay-at-home mom with a one year old girl and is five months pregnant with her next child.
I have serious doubts as to their legitimacy, as well as questions about why a supposedly bonafide, upstanding and law-abiding company with nothing to hide would take such precipitous and outrageous actions. Quite frankly, what I have found out about this company and their associates makes me fearful for my safety. See if you agree that my fears may be warranted:
Last week I made a couple of posts on an obscure internet forum with less than 150 members which evidently some folks at Shimoda took quite an exception to. In rapid fire order, I received two emails from a Paul McLouth, listed as the Executive Manager of Shimoda, promising to sue me, and six emails from someone who identified himself as Gerald Bernstein, an attorney for Shimoda. In addition, my forum moderator at Yahoo received five or six threatening emails from Mr. McLouth. I will copy those emails to you at the end of this message.
Mr. "Bernstein" has refused to provide his bar number or otherwise prove that he is a legitimate attorney, and I can find no record of an attorney named Gerald Bernstein -not only in Arkansas, but in the entire United States. His emails to me are by far the most unprofessional and unlawyerly correspondence I have ever seen attributed to a legitimate attorney. Likewise, Mr. McLouth has refused to provide me with any proof of his own identity or validity.
It has been suggested to me that the real person sending the emails is a fellow named Jim Bolt, a twice-convicted felon who has worked for Shimoda and who once earned the nickname "the poster boy for pro se" due to all of the filings he made during his incarcerations. Mister Bolt is allegedly being sought at this moment for questioning in connection with the Terry Nichols trial in Oklahoma City. A mug-shot photo of Mr. Bolt can be found at the following link, along with a photo of the "impressive" headquarters building of another company he once managed and promoted, GECC.
http://www.longandshortreports.com/photos.php
For further information regarding GECC, refer to this link (I hope history is not repeating itself here!):
http://www.longandshortreports.com/profiles.php
I can find no listing or information anywhere on anyone named Paul McLouth. I did find that the current Director of Shimoda, Scott Ervin, is also the current CEO of GECC. Previously, Mr. Ervin was involved in a real estate investment group in Las Vegas where he listed among his other investors and backers such prestigious names as Trump Properties, Don King Productions and The Mirage - all of which turned out to be Nevada companies with no relation to the real ones.
Articles about that venture appear at these links:

Shimoda-Atlantic refuses to provide the location of any of their facilities or locations. although they refer to various locations in NW Arkansas and supposedly have a "class 10" lab somewhere. Various Chambers of Commerce are unaware of any Shimoda locations either. They do have an impressive web-site at www.shimoda-atlantic.com, but it stands in rather stark contrast to the only address I know of for Shimoda - 812 N. Thompson Street, Suite F in Springdale. That location is in a strip shopping center. It was the address used to register their website and was previously associated with Jim Bolt, from what I understand.
I have also been told that the previous tenant was a person who once served as an aide to a New Jersey congressman who was jailed in some kind of scandal. I think the tenant's name was Culbertson, and I have been told that this same person was questioned and had his computer seized in connection with the Oklahoma City bombing.
I am not sure if there are any connections between Shimoda and the previous tenant, but when I consider him together with Jim Bolt, who is known to have connections to Shimoda (letters were sent out on Shimoda letterhead signed by Jim Bolt in regards to investment opportunities), it makes me wonder what kind of characters are really after me! What was it I said that struck a nerve so deeply that it made them react in such an overzealous way?
Maybe it has to do with their announced plans to take their company public the first half of this year? Or the fact that their announced FDA trials that were supposed to start by the end of last year of very first of this one are now targeted to start "mid-2005" at locations still listed as "TBD". If they are such a legitimate big time Bioscience company, why was it reported to me that their landlord alleges that they are having trouble paying their rent on the little strip center location in Springdale?
Yesterday, two persons who identified themselves as a U.S. Marshall and a medical company representative showed up at my old office and interrogated the owner of the company about me. They also alleged that the FBI is involved and that I have been turned over to Homeland Security, among other outrageous claims. Their main quest appeared to be to find where I live. I find it amazing that two objectionable posts on an obscure internet forum site could result in such fast action by a U.S. Marshall (whose job description seems to be at odds for being involved in the first place). Isn't it normally the case that a complaint to virtually any law enforcement agency would result in a period of investigation, and then perhaps months later an officer or agent might be sent out?
Following are the emails I have received, along with six posts to the forum moderator on Yahoo. I would appreciate any help you could provide in what I have found to be a truly amazing situation. Last week I was just a little guy posting to an internet forum and trying to rid it of a pest, and only mentioned Shimoda in passing for the most part. Today, I am the object of a huge legal effort and search. What kind of company does this, I ask? I trust that you will find the emails as truly amazing as I have.
And by the way, just FYI - I am self-employed and do not work as an agent of any person, company or rival of Shimoda. Yes, I have been provided with information about Shimoda, ironically though, most of the information I have was provided after they began attempting to intimidate and terrorize me. The honest truth is that I really had nothing against Shimoda, other than suspicions of how legitimate they are and what they are really up to, until they unleashed their attack on me and began harassing my poor forum moderator and other people.
To point out just a few inaccuracies in their emails, I am unaware of ever being banned from posting on any forum, unlike some who appear to be associated with Shimoda, and I have never promoted any herbal or other product on a forum, website or elsewhere on the internet. In fact, I have never made a single cent off any product on the internet other than some work I have done on website design.
I am truly at a loss to explain exactly what is going on in the friendly and scenic state of Arkansas, but I'm thinking that when all the rocks are turned over, it isn't going to be a very pretty site. In the interim, I hope that someone, somewhere might help me end this unwarranted harrassment and let those involved know in no uncertain terms that law enforcement and the powers that be will take a very dim view of them if something untoward should happen to me.
Please note that in addition to the Arkansas Bar Association and the other listed recipients, this information has also been forwarded to the FBI and the Arkansas Attorney General's office.
Sincerely,
Tony Isaacs

Mr. Isaacs, you're not doing yourself any good with message traffic like the one you just sent me.
You need to give it a rest.
If you don't want to give us your contact info, that's swell, we'll eventually get it from Yahoo. It's just a matter of time and subpoenas.
Yahoo will be extremely cooperative and has assured us of just that.
As for your threats of "publicity" etc., and "journalism, etc." we're completely unimpressed.
My licensure information will be on the summons and complaint when we catch up to you. And make no mistake "Mr. Isaacs," we will eventually locate you and sue you for what you've been up to.

Subject: Your ongoing contact with Shimoda Atlantic's Staff
Dear sir or madam:
I have reviewed part of an email you transmitted yesterday to Paul McLouth, Executive Manager, Shimoda Atlantic Oncology Biosciences LLC.
The particular passage I would like to direct your attention to is:
"One thing, though, you might want to consider telling your "attorney" what I have been told about libel and slander: they don't apply when someone merely tells the truth. Personally, instead of raising a lot of fuss over a trifle, I would suggest that you would be better served by quietly looking for the guy who has been offering to sell out your company secrets (FDA trial locations, known company players and associates, informants you are supposed to have inside rival companies, information you have reportedly have gathered on rivals, etc., and all for a paltry $75,000). Maybe your "source" might have some information about that too . . ."
We have the prelininary results of the analysis of your email headers, and we expect to be in a position to serve a subpoena later today on AOL/Time Warner in order to gather information about the logon's to the DNS where your messages appear to have originated from.
You should understand that we are more than fully aware of the subject matter embraced in the paragraph you emailed that I quoted above. The former employee involved in the matter was discovered when his company assigned computer system was retrieved at the time he was dismissed, and analyzed. We have since furnished the computer and its contents to federal law enforcement, in order to ascertain whether or not a federal ofense has been or is being committed. That individual is now in federal (INS) custody pending deportation proceedings, but has fully cooperated with our risk management staff and federal authorities. The only people who knew of that event are: the perpetrator; myself, our Risk Manager, Paul McLouth, several federal agents, the person in Texas who was involved on the other end of that event, and the federal agents involved in the investigation. Then of course, there's you.
I urge you to quit playing games, simply tell me where and how to serve you with a summons and complaint, and at that point, the process of putting these events behind you can commence in earnest. Childish taunts about the difficulty in finding you, lack of assets, etc., are not in your best interest. The principal thrust of the litigation against you will be, initially, injunctive in nature. Your demonstration, however, of complete knowledge of a very serious, civil and criminally actionable matter of attempted industrial espionage against Shimoda Atlantic has elevated this matter to an entirely different level.
I believe that the email message cited above that you generated does in fact contain information related to the commission of a felony. For the company to retain it without notifying law enforcement would possibly be a separate offense, so on that basis it is being furnished to federal authorities involved in that matter.
It may take me a period of time to go through the process of unraveling your identity - although, based on that little paragraph I quoted above, I have an excellent idea as to just who you are. You made a series of very reckless and completely untrue accusations about this company. You are going to be held accountable. You can make that process simple, responsible and straightforward, or, you can make it an expensive, time consuming and labor intensive process. In the end, the "costly" part is something you're going to pay as part of the costs of litigation.
As a self-styled journalist of some sort, you might consider the merits of beginning the retraction process, in order to mitigate the damage you have caused. I doubt seriously you are a journalist, but, on the off chance you are, and in order to later demonstrate a demand for retraction, then consider this such a demand: we demand a retraction.
If you wish to resolve this matter quickly and without undue difficulty, I will afford you the balance of this day to make contact and deal with these issues responsibly.
Sincerely yours,
Gerald Bernstein

Subject: Your contact information
For a person in your predicament, I would have expected nothing less than your most recent email to me.
Partner, you can run. But you can't hide forever.
And make no mistake about it: we're going to find you and drag you to court. That little reference you made to the industrial espionage event pretty much already identifies you. The rest is now just a little detail work.
We've already received a lot of cooperation from AOL. We expect Yahoo to respond shortly. If you read their "terms of service" closely, you'll see provisions that allow them to supply us with a lot of information without our even having to file suit.
You might pause, take a moment, and consider being an adult about all of this. If you have nothing to fear; if you feel that the libelous postings you made are defensible, well, why not defend yourself in court? If you can prove any of your conspiracy theories, you're home free. Of course, on the other hand, if you can't, then there are likely to be consequences for you, regrdless of whether you own property, have a phone, etc.
Your earlier reference to the truth being a defense in a libel action is actually quite correct. The only problem that I see in your applying that theory to this matter is that you're so far off base, Paul McLouth has become convinced you're a mental case. Even if you are, that's not going to stop us from suing you.
Again, I want to stress it's not a matter of "if" we can document your actual identity and sue, it's a question only of "when." Your most recent post to me suggests that you have a very poor grasp of reality and an even weaker grasp on what our intentions are. The fantasy you have imagined is not the reality you're facing.
Cooperate with us and we can make this very, very quick and easy for you. At this point, the company will settle for a consent by you to the entry of a permanent injunction and you won't even have to pay court costs. Keep it up though, and the stakes will inevitably go higher. You gain nothing by transmitting these juvenile, threatening, taunting, bizarre emails.
By the way. Shimoda has more than several locations, including sites inside and outside of Arkansas. You might consider that.

Subject: 53 Minutes - flat
Just so you'll know, it took 53 minutes to get your home address, vehicle description, etc.
Like I said earlier today, you can run, but you just can't hide. We'd have found you in 45 minuted flat but the old address at 4001 N. Garland hung us up for a few minutes. Using your son's DOB was a little nutsy on your part. It helped a lot.
Then there's that drive time to North Richland Hills. That added a little bit of time.
Tell you what I'm going to do for you Tony. This is a one time offer and it has a very definite (short) time limit on it. It's in your best interest to take this offer.
I'm interested in frying a much bigger fish for attempted industrial espionage.
You help me, I'll help you with your problems at the Garland Police Department. It's very possible I can broker a deal where you avoid some felony charges for theft out of Garland. They can be persuaded to focus on Shanda, assuming you testify for the State of Texas.
You give me some help on your friends in San Antonio, I can probably do you a lot of good. You have some problems you need to fix and some fences you need to mend with the Bank of America.
Here's some free advice: never mess with a DoD contractor. It's just plain dumb. Oncology is a small fraction of how Shimoda Atlantic earns its money.
The ball is in your court.
Don't spend a lot of time mulling this over with that IQ of 140. Oh, Jody says to tell you "howdy." (Jodie is the name of Tony's ex-wife, and she never heard from anyone, but did give a message to pass along to tell them she said to go commit an unnatural act upon themselves - and the message WAS delivered)

Mr. Isaacs, I had held out some hope that you would be able to get a grip, put the wreckage of your past behind you and be an adult about all of this.
Very well. We'll do it "your way."
Serving someone languishing in a county jail is not going to be a real challenge. I'll make sure the prosecutors get the email I received a copy of, where you boasted of what is clearly a claim of "no ties" to the community. Judges like to know about those things when they assess a defendant for flight risk and suitability for bail.
I'll try to pop in to one of your arraignments. Since there were several different county jurisdictions involved, there are likely to be a few.
That is, unless B of A convinces the U.S. Attorney to indict you and your associate for bank fraud.
Like I tried to tell you Mr. Isaacs, you can run, but you can't hide.
The offer expires at noon today.

Dear Mr. Isaacs,
During the day to day, I have instructed our counsel to:
a.) ascertain the true identity of the account holder for Yahoo account
"tmark1217@yahoo.com"
and
b.) institute a civil action in an appropriate court to obtain a preliminary and permanent injunction for your malicious and libelous conduct.
In the interim, we have been in contact with the legal department at Yahoo, Inc., and requested their immediate assistance on curbing the abuse we have complained of. If you believe that we're going to allow anyone to libel our company and its products in the manner you have been, you're simply incorrect in that assumption. You are going to be held fully accountable for each and every statement you have made.
As for your "googling," I suggest to you that according to our risk management staff, they cannot seem to locate any information about you either. Based on the way you seem to interpret and analyze things, I guess that makes you nonexistent as well, now doesn't it?
If you have any further questions, I suggest you mail or fax us a letter. If you provide a return address or fax number, you may expect a prompt response.

Emails from McLouth to the Yahoo forum moderator, all in a period of about four days:
Dear Yahoo List Owner,
Earlier this morning, the message set out below was
forwarded to me with a report that this message is
appearing on a Yahoo list server that you manage. My
name is Paul McLouth. I am the Executive Manager of
Shimoda-Atlantic Oncology Biosciences. Presently, we
have an investigational new drug program for a drug
tradenamed Xenavex. This drug is a labeled (federal
prescription item) cardioglycoside that we are
investigating as a possible therapy for various solid
tumor diseases.
The individual posting under the name "tmark1217" and
"mjohnson1217" is well known to our risk management
staff.
As a list manager, we respectfully ask that you
immediately remove this posting from public view. We
view its contents as being intentionally libelous to
the company; intentionally injurious to our federally
protected trademark "Xenavex," and simply outrageous.
On Monday, I will instruct our outside legal counsel
to institute the work that is prepatory to litigation
against this person. In the past, on other forums, he
has openly boasted of his "poverty" and the futility
of suing him. I assume that he has twisted that
viewpoint into a license to commit libel.
We will defer formal contact with Yahoo until Monday,
in order to allow you ample opportunity to consider
our request.
If by then this post is still appearing in a public
forum, we will take all such action as is required to
protect the interest of our company, and the peace of
mind of the patients currently using Xenavex in
therapeutic settings.
We would also ask that you consider the merit of
revoking this person's posting privileges. We note
that he has already posted a message on your board
whereby he make a preliminary offer to furnish, to a
cancer patient, some substance in a bottle at a
discounted price of $150. From our previous
discussions with Yahoo's legal department regarding
this person, they assured us that any attempt to vend
a product of any nature on Yahoo's chat boards is a
serious violation of the terms of service.
As to this "Boris Batenov" nonsence, our company has a
very strict policy, which is closely monitored, that
prohibits employees, contractors, consultants or
similar persons from posting any message to any
internet venue that in any way discusses the company
or its products.

Subject: RE: Libelous Message Post on "Cancer Alternatives"
We've only had one other instance on Yahoo. That
matter was handle by the company attorney. What we're
trying to avoid is having to contact Yahoo. As was the
case with the former Anvirzel list, we are asking you,
as moderator, to utilize the features that we
understand allow the moderator to remove an offensive
post. In the case of the Anvirzel list, the moderator,
"patrick@pipingproducts.com" removed a number of
similar posts, and eventually banned the poster,
"tmark1217."
(Note: "patrick@pipingproducts.com" is the Patrick Scranton who Bolt convinced to switch to Xenavex. He never banned Tmark1217, and in fact remained an online friend until the very end)
We're not trying to chill any discussion regarding
alternative therapies. On the contrary, we're highly
supportive of complementary and alternative therapies.
The fact is that we're one of a handful of companies
in the U.S. that is taking the time to do clinical
studies on an unmodified botanical extract.
What we are concerned about is the outrageous and
libelous conduct of "tmark1217." This is not the first
time he has engaged in this type of conduct. Our risk
management people asked me to ask you to look at the
"sign-up" dates for "bbatenov" and "tmark1217." It
appears that tmark follows bbatenov around groups and
forwhatever reason, our company gets trashed by
tmark1217.
And so, the bottom line is that we are asking that you
remove the offending post. We also ask you to consider
the relative merits of banning the member making that
post. In addition to libeling our company, he has
apparently violated Yahoo's "terms of service" by
making a threshhold offer to sell a product via the
list at what he describes as a "discount."

Dear Ms. May,
We will transmit to you via facsimile, a letter that more specifically describes our concerns regarding the message posting activity of your forum member, "tmark1217."
At first, we thought that these postings were simply being posted on a message board for list members to read.
As it turns out, the the list service in fact is remailing this postings to a large number of people, who in turn, are likely remailing the,
We heard about the most recent posting of this "tmark1217" from a patient who has received an email deriving from your list, and who forwarded it to us.
Sadly, we are left with very, very few options in this matter. Needless to say, we are instituting a libel action against "tmark1217." Later this morning, we will ask Yahoo to take whatever measures are required in order to protect our company from further libel occurring by way of any Yahoo venue or forum that this "tmark1217" has access to.
Once more, I respectfully request that you remove all posts he has made to your list mentioning Shimoda-Atlantic in any way, and to revoke his posting privileges on your listserv.

Ms. Liza May, M.S. via facsimile 410-451-6105
In re: "cancer_alternatives" - group- www.yahoo.com
Dear Ms. May,
We are in receipt of yet another libelous and disparaging posting occurring on your message board, "cancer_alternatives" located on the www.yahoo.com internet website.
This time, the message, posted by "tmark1217" was forwarded to us by a cancer patient who had received a copy via email.
The patient in question is undergoing therapy using our investigational new drug, SAOB-0401 (Xenavex), and was so distraught by what was sent, that the patient briefly considered discontinuing therapy.
Over the weekend, I sent you an email asking your cooperation and assistance in curbing the outrageous and libelous conduct of a person that you have admitted to your closed-list, and granted posting privileges to. As I recall, I believe I asked you to terminate that person's posting privileges in order to avert further damage to the company.
At that time, I had no idea that these malicious and libelous posts were in fact being remailed all over the country from your list server.
As the list manager, you are legally responsible for the content of that list. It is not my intention to threaten you or to appear as belligerent. On the other hand, I have a responsibility to the company and more importantly to the peace of mind of the patients who are on therapy using our products. We cannot allow the type of conduct occurring at the hand of this "tmark1217" to continue, and we will not allow it to continue. While we certainly intend to sue him/her for libel, the process of identifying the person responsible is protracted, and, according to Yahoo, may take several weeks.
In the interim, we have contacted the Yahoo legal department and asked their immediate intervention in this matter.
I do not have direct access to your list, so, I have no idea what else is on there. I have been told by two persons who do have access that the list is actually quite valuable in many ways, and clearly offers cancer patients a vital access to information regarding treatment alternatives and options, including diet, supplements, herbal medications, etc.
It is not my intention to interfere with that relationship. On the other hand, without your cooperation, the range of options left available to me are extremely slim. The last time this particular poster ran amok, on what was the "anvirzel" group, and complaints were lodged by other participants as the result of his personal attacks, Yahoo's response was simply to remove the group, and the name "mjohnson1217@yahoo.com" was obliterated.
(Note: There never has been a mjohnson1217@yahoo.com email identity. My identity on that forum was Tmark1217@yahoo.com , as it remains today. The complaints actaully related to posts by a character who identitifies himself as Boris Batenov, who sent almost 100 posts over a three day period. It was the mysterious Boris who sent copie of my posts to Shimoda and started this episode. The forum site was pulled by Yahoo at the request of the President of Phoenix Biotech, someone Shimoda views as an arch enemy of Shimoda, because of the attacks made on the forum against him and his group, primarily by Boris. I have never been banned by any forum group! - Tony Isaacs)
I have no idea what Yahoo will do in response to our request for immediate termination of the libelous activities occurring on your group list, and we are not asking Yahoo to do anything other that remove the "tmark1217" account along with all past messages posted by that individual.
I am making a final effort to enlist your assistance before this goes further. Please, remove this person's posting privileges on your group, and, pull the offending messages immediately. If you believe that the messages are truthful, accurate and are prepared to stand by them as the publisher, then you will force us to exhaust whatever other remedies are available to us, including an action in the U.S. District Court for injunctive relief. We cannot and will not tolerate the kind of conduct exhibited by "tmark1217" on Yahoo or any other forum.

Dear Becky, I am trying to locate a phone number to call Tony Isaacs. If you have it, I would be very appreciative if you could give it to me. I need to contact him him regarding a legal proceeding and see that he gets some papers that are important.
Thanks,

From what McLouth reported
it sounds to me like most of the defendants may have been racing to make a deal faster than K-mart shoppers headed to the aisle of an announced "Blue Light Special" . . .
I wonder if "Alex's" boat sale included the
night time navigation system most preferred by drug runners that Bolt reportedly had installed on his boat and Dodge reportedly had installed on his airplane at one time?
I know that sounds a bit far off (as if anything involving Bolt could be far off), but according to my source, who has been 100% reliable and accurate, both Bolt and Dodge did have such equipment installed on their respective properties at one time.
I just cannot help but think back about Bolt's penchant for acccusing others of his own misdeeds (transference) and his many GECC posts accusing his opponents of drug running . . . . the same as he accused his opponents of being deadbeats, fake drug scammers, law enforecement impersonators, sexual deviants, child pornographers, etc. - all of which he has a demonstrable history of being convicted of, linked to or accused of.
Rubber chicken, what rubber chicken?

Who next, Gerald Bernstein?

I have nothing but the greatest admiration
for those who have fought the good fight long fight against Bolt and spent no telling how much money they will never re-coup, plus had to put up with seeing their names drug through the mud in forums and bogus suits - both of which I got a bitter and appreciable taste of after joining the fray.
I came into this mad scenario in late 2004, and so by that token I am a relative newcomer, but I wager that I rocked a few worlds once that I did. I think Bolt went a bit beyond merely attacking a product, in light of his dispatching two imposters to try to find me, one of whom posed as a US Marshall, and the countless slanderous posts he made on forums, his continued quest to find me, several thinly disguised threats of violence and threats of legal action.
The "product" Bolt attacked was a home remedy that anyone could make at home for pennies and Bolt did attack it as a perceived threat to his bogus Xenavex medicine, just as he attacked Anvirzel and it's makers. The reason Bolt attacked me is that I raised questions about the legitimacy of his Shimoda Atlantic sham company and then, after he refused to back off, proceeded to do everything in my powers to expose and reveal him.
I also think that what he did when he tried to lure unwitting kids to my forum and induce them to use the recipe for the remedy to make a 50/50 mixture of oleander extract and vodka and MAILINE it just to strike at me was both despicable and horrific. That, along with his callous disregard for the Xenavex patients he lured into using a bogus product with lies and deceptions spoke of a criminal mind that was going farther down the dark path than ever before.
At any rate, we are all on the same side here and I again apologize for letting some of my past frustrations with lack of action re-surface.
I DO understand the frustration of earlier combatants at the lack of results and their reluctance to throw good money after bad. I also understand how other sources found my information and story unbelieveable. As the News reporter told me - my story WAS unbelieveable. At least it was until the Talon sting gave it credibility.
I mean think about it: a fake cancer drug scam masterminded by a white supremicist who was wanted for failure to appear in the Terry Nichols trial where he testified he saw images of the bombing on an associates computer, fake forum identities of Boris Batenov and Natashya Fatale, drugs imported from Russia, thugs posing as US Marshalls, a very real looking website and clinical trial posting that were all fake . . . yeah, that is pretty hard to swallow. Knowing that it was nevertheless true made it doubly frustrating.
Speaking of rocking worlds, one of Bolt's emails under the Natashya Fatale guise (after Bolt finally got the idea of his mistake in coming after me and of the scope of information that had been turned over to a whole range of agencies is classic:
" . . . please do not contact me anymore. It is my view that you are involved in some very shady dealings with these people in San Antonio. It's obvious that you're trying to engage in a smear job on Shimoda. I don't have much doubt that its going to backfire on you, like that faked email from "the FDA."
Unlike you, I am a very honest and pretty much forthright person. I usually tell people whats on my mind. I thought once that you were just a well meaning, passionate but misguided person. As your writings grew stranger and stranger I then thought that you might be in need of the kind of help that trained counselors can provide.
What I see now is a desperate, pathetic little grifter hiding behind his computer screen working with some true criminals in order to protect their illegal drug racket.
People like you are sick. If I were a "guessing person" I'd guess you're a sociopath that probably lives off of women (that explains the check deals with Sandra), cannot hold a regular job or will not hold a regular job, and that you're prone to pathological lies. That's quite a remarkable difference from the first XXXX I met. I guess if there is such a thing as a "good con man," then you're a head and shoulder above the rest.
Nicki"
And there you have Bolt and his lifelong pattern of transference at its best - notice how every accusation fits him to a T!
You make very good points
and I realize that my post was clouded by some of the same frustrations you list. I also realize that credit should be given for those who initially waged battle with Bolt and company.
In that regard I apologize and stand corrected.
NOw, you ask where was I? As soon as I came under attack by Bolt I was in alligators up to my eyebrows and in the trenches and battling back day and night - as many here know. I have never ceased that battle and I think it is safe to say that there would have been no DMN story if not for me.
Bolt's dirtiest deed of all
In a faxed message sent from Jim Bolt to a former Ozelle employee, he stated:
"A difference between our approach and Ozelle's is that we plan to do the studies in-house rather than use a CRO."
What he meant was that Shimoda intended to use unwitting cancer sufferers as human guinea pigs. One such person was a genuinely good person who waged a courageous battle against cancer by the name of Patrick Scranton, whom Bolt and companies convinced to stop taking Anvirzel and switch to the phoney Xenavex. Patrick is now deceased.
Here, in his own words, is what happened:
"I had already met two people who were actually friends of friends who had used Anvirzel and they had nothing but good things to say about their experiences with it."
"I stopped Anvirzel several months ago, thanks to facts that Boris (Jim Bolt) presented to me. . . . Coincidentally, my tumors began to spread after I was off of it."
"I am anxious to start Xenavex. Hopefully tomorrow. Don't mention anything on the forums yet. I told them (Bolt/Shimoda) that I would hold off on telling anyone."
"I've recently gained some pancreatic cancer friends who have been doing very well with . . . Anvirzel. They tracked me down to have me address the rumors of the SI QC problems."
"I know several Xenavex patients. Shimoda has been giving this stuff out for a while. Their web site has several red herrings. This is a long time Dept. of Defense contractor that knows how to play the game and stay off of the radar. They are doing some great things and the people who I have dealt with are very compassionate."
"Of course, I've signed some confidentiality paperwork with them. If a real cancer patient calls them up, they will work with their doctor and will quickly give them the drug, if they qualify. It's that simple. And with the FDA's blessing."
How sad that such a brilliant man bought into Bolt's scam so thoroughly. Patrick's tumors continued to grow and spread after he began taking Xenavex and he later tried a few other experimental treatments, but nothing worked as he valiantly fought til the very end.
The bottom line is that Bolt evilly convince this man to switch from the only thing that ever worked and, imho, he died as a result. For that reason alone, I say that whatever sentence Bolt gets, he will be getting off lightly.
I wonder if anyone in authority has tracked down any of the other Xenavex users to see how they fared?
That is the pattern in legal battles with Bolt
You get sued, you win. You counter sue and you win. And the end result is that you are out tens of thousands or more in legal fees and never collect a penny.
Speaking of never collecting a penny, I noticed that Bolt claimed that he first became interested in Xenavex due to his wife's cancer. I would suggest that he first became interested in another scam when he stiffed the Highlands Oncology Group for the fees for his wife's treatments and saw an opportunity to create another "enterprise which included a group of imaginary employees engaged in imaginary products and services in various imaginary locations".
After all, given their backgrounds Bolt and company were supremely qualified to create an oncology biosciences company, produce a new drug and conduct clinical trials . . .
There was no Xenavex until Bolt or his group invented the name. There was only the proven patented medicine Anvirzel and the Russian "solutio neriolini" which Dodge admitted was the source of their "Xenavex" and not a self-created product in a class 10 lab as they claimed.
Let's take a look at the proof from Shimoda itself:
First, there is this email sent by a fictitious Shimoda employee to Ozelle Pharmaceuticals:
“The Xenavex program has been more than we anticipated in terms of the challenges and outcomes.
First, the product we are working with is very similar to "solutio Neriolini." We have received sufficient input from the FDA regarding the history of this drug, their conclusions as to its prior inclusion in various pharmacopeias, etc., and how those findings are reconciled with Section 201(g)(1) of the [FD&C] Act as to proceed to a Phase II trial, using sublingual administration, all absent a formal Phase I study. We have prepared a Phase II Form 1571 to that end, and are awaiting IRB clearance. We had decided to hold back on the trial launch until a recently published paper was in fact published, describing the relationship between inflammation and NF-kB. Now that the paper has appeared in Cancer Cell, September 2004, we expect to pursue our IRB clearance shortly. I realize that you will probably find the foregoing statements to be vague, especially as to the regulatory side of things. The particular FDA regs and how they affect this unique project, are to a great extent proprietary at this time…”

Note: The only Alex Hardcastle to be found in the Springdale/Bentonville area is an 86 year old man who hasn't a clue about Shimoda. But he did have a listing in a local phone book that apparently came in handy.
Next, let us take a look at excerpts from a letter sent by none other than Dodge himself:
"In fact, ShimodaAtlanticTM learned some time ago that it can purchase a finished nerium oleander L. pharmaceutical derivative, in liquid (solution Neriolini) (oleandrin 22 mg, alcohol 4 mL, distilled water to 100 mL)...from Russian manufacturers."
"...they have long since decided to go that route for the purposes of clinical evaluation of the drug in cancer cases."
from a letter to Ozelle Pharmaceuticals sent by John Dodge, representing Shimoda Atlantic in September 2004.
Any questions about the source of "Xenavex"?
So the Arkansas Democrat Gazette finally speaks
Interesting to note that Michelle Bradford of the ADG was furnished almost two years ago with most of the same information that Dallas Morning News reporter Paul Foutch received and she had already taken on Bolt in the past, but chose to remain mum until the Morning News broke the story. As did the Arkansas Business Publishing Group, and for that matter, two other DMN reporters until Foutch finally had the cajones to write and publish it.
I suppose the Arkansas papers were simply tired of fighting what seemed to be a no-win battle. Typical of the responses was this one from the APBG in April of 2005:
"Well, this is fascinating. I feel sorry for anyone who runs up against Jim Bolt (whose real attorney is usually John Dodge). Arkansas Business Publishing Group has spent $100,000 on legal fees fighting these guys, and we are winning at every step, but that doesn't mean we'll ever get the money back."
And this one in November, 2005 seems to pretty much sum it up:
"I just don't feel up to taking on more of this battle. We have tried for three years to get the legal authorities to shut these guys down to no avail."
I say attaboy for Paul Foutch and the Dallas Morning News!
Speaking of Bolt and fake ID's
Surely you noted in the Dallas Morning News story that one of the two men sent looking for one of their antagonists (the person who posted information about Shimoda being a fake company in an internet forum) identified himself as a U.S. Marshall? The other person identified himself as a representative of Shimoda-Atlantic.
Given some of Bolts actions and the information that the FBI, FDA, US Marshall's SEC and USDOJ offices have been given, I have to wonder about the things that Bolt has NOT been charged with - at least not yet been charged with.
Bolt covering his head with his ringless hands? Ah yes, the loss of the only family bread winner can be traumatic.
Does anyone think that perhaps Dodge having a public defender might be an indication that a deal has been cut?
Bolt's actions did result in harm to others
including at least one death, imho, when someone switched from a proven oleander medication that had been the only thing that ever worked to the phoney Xenavex after Bolt lied about both the real medication and his phony subssitute. You are so right to say that his pathology increased, Residuum. That became pretty clear with his threats and sending agents to silence opponents and crystal clear when he sent sent emails to drug oriented internet forums trying to lure kids into mis-using one of his perceived competitors, the home remedy "oleander soup", by telling them it was really a super drug that would give you a super high if you simply mixed it 50/50 with vodka and mainlined it! Fortunately that ploy was stopped just in the nick of time.
I wonder if the feds will ever do anything with that information. I KNOW that they have it.
And who is to know what happened to others that Bolt lured into using his phoney Xenavex drug?
Good to see you again since the old days of GECC . . .
Kid Zeke
Bolt is not nearly as smart
as he thinks he is! I would say he is indeed smarter than your average balding, fat white supremicist, but far from a genius. Otherwise, why does he keep getting caught? Or is there some kind of masochistic impulse where he just can't help but give himself away? His posts and his email messages (of which I have seen hundreds) give a wealth of clues and revelations about his misdeeds and played a big role in exposing his Shimoda scam.
In Bolt's messages, one can clearly see someone who thinks he is toying with his reader(s) by laying out clues and half-truths as part of the big lie, but always at some point he goes too far and leaves too many clues and reveals too much. He seems to be like one of the serial criminals the profilists tell us are actually begging to get caught and stopped from continuing their misdeeds. In that regard, he always succeeds. So, yes, I guess Bolt is a genius after all - a genius at giving himself away.
Now, as for his poor wife's cancer - if he did give her his phony Xenavex it obviously did her no good, which is not surprising. Xenavex, despite Bolt's contention that it was a relabeled product from Virginia, was most likely a Russian import that was formulated for heart conditions, vertigo and other conditions and never intended as a cancer treatment.
The method used for that particular oleander extract was an ethanol extraction method, whereas the method used for the proven oleander cancer treatments, such as the patented medicine Anvirzel, the home remedy called "oleander soup" and the rainforest botanical supplement OPC, all use an aqueous extraction method.
Here is why the difference between the two methods is important: Oleander has had over 500 separate compounds identified besides the main identified active compound, oleandrin, and most of the scientits and researchers familiar with oleander agree that it is the synergistic action of several of those compounds acting together with oleandrin which make oleander effective against cancer and other cell proliferative diseases - particularly some of the long chain polysacharrides.
In the ethanol extraction method used for Bolt's bogus product, the long-chain polysacharrides precipitate out and are lost. The end result is a product that is lacking some key compounds when it comes to treating cancer.
It would indeed be ironic if Bolt had his wife take Xenavex after he convinced at least one person to switch from Anvirzel to Xenavex with fake reports of Xenavex's superiority - the result of which was that the person saw his cancer return and spread and ultimately cost him his life after Anvirzel had been working.
I agree that it would be worthwhile to know if Bolt gave his wife his fake cancer drug. The inferiority of the ethanol extraction method was clearly explained to Bolt, but he either rejected it because it interferred with his scheme, or else he thought he was smarter than he really was. Or both.
What was your favorite part of the Morning News story?
I am kind of torn between these two:
First, there in big bold letters on the front page we see the very quote that Bolt and his army of aliases did their furious paste and post routine to bury at the RB GECC forum:
"The government has aptly described this business as an enterprise which included a group of imaginary employees engaged in developing imaginary products and services located in various imaginary locations in the United States, Scotland Norway and other overseas locations"
Yeah - I can see how Bolt's defense might want that "irrelevant" information excluded alright.
My second choice was tbe revelation that the FBI was onto Bolt early on and playing him like a big fish all along. That explains a lot about why Bolt went ballistic when a couple of posts were made questioning Shimoda's legitimacy in a small, obscure Yahoo health forum. It also explains why Bolt furiously pasted away to bury the above quote whenever it was posted in a forum. Those posts and later posts and revelations came when Bolt and company thought they had a really big fish on line at the time. It was the FBI, and Bolt and company were the fish! How f'ing hilarious!!!
Can't you just see Bolt and company slobbering over what they thought was the first of several big dollar suckers they were reeling in, and how that investment would be the one thatlegitimized their bogus operation and set the tone for more big investments - and all along it was the feebs setting them up for the big fall!
"Paul McClouth" said in emails that the original health forum posts were noticed by one of their investors who had forwarded the info to other investors/potential investors and it was making them needlessly concerned. Somehow I can envision the Feebs using that information to make Bolt and company sweat and jump through hoops as they played them along.
And then, after all the raging and worrying, finally a year later the big investment apparently comes through after all. High fives all around, visions of sugar plums dancing, the gang of four is going to be on easy street, isn't crime grand and . . . . Oooops! What's this? A subpoena?
Make that high-lows from Big Tyrone and friends and easy street merely turned out to be free room and board of an entirely different kind! And sugar plums are not on the menu.
Folks, this isn't the story of a lifelong criminal - it is the story of a lifelong LOSER!
Oh yeah, I think I have a candidate for Jim's cellmate for ya . . . . .
They stepped on Plenty of toes
But some of us step back - and maybe do things like contacting their local reporter after the Talon story ran and telling him that there was a much more to be learned about ol' Jimbo and company . . .
I wondered if this forum would come to life a bit after the story hit the paper. It's been in the works for quite awhile - but I was sworn to secrecy about giving away what was coming.
Sweet, isn't it?
I think that golden oldie you tripped over was a cuprolith
layed by that soon to be extinct from free society dinosaur Corruptosoreass.
That good old bastion of truth and journalism, The Arkansas Chronicle - what a hoot!
Sometimes I almost miss Raging Bull . . . . . . . . almost.
Maybe they will televise it
on the National Hispanic TV Network and we can hire an interpreter from the Hispanic AA group that met in the Springdale Arkansas strip center breezeway office that is adjacent to the old Shimoda-Atlantic World Headquarters . . .
And so does this fit Bolt to a T
for those of you who remember (or have been the subject of) Bolt's attacks and accusations against others that actually mirror his own misdeeds:
Transference: Are you a biological time machine?
Published in "The Source", June, 2001
Revised: May 17, 2006
By: Michael G. Conner, Psy.D
Sigmund Freud first identified the psychological process of transference and brought it into what is now modern day psychotherapy. As a therapist he noticed that people had strong feelings and fantasies about him that had no basis in reality. But Freud died before there was such a thing as "rock and roll." Transference has become a more modern concept since Freud. In fact, many people believe transference is actually something that happens in life - and not just psychotherapy.
What is Transference? During transference, people turn into a "biological time machine". A nerve is struck when someone says or does something that reminds you of your past. This creates an "emotional time warp" that transfers your emotional past and your psychological needs into the present. In less poetic terms, a transference reaction means that you are reacting to someone in terms of what you need to see, you are afraid of or what you see when you know very little about the person. This all happens without you knowing why you feel and react the way you do.
What Is Projection? Some people refer to transference as a "projection." In this case you are projecting your own feelings, emotions or motivations into another person without realizing your reaction is really more about you than it is about the other person. In a life filled with transference, your job may be "the family reunion you are avoiding and you are forced to go to each day." In other cases of projection, your girlfriend may remind you of all the irritating things your mother did when you were growing up. Love at first sight is usually a projection – especially if it ends in disaster and you could have seen it coming.
Harmful Patterns. Transference reactions are caused by unmet emotional needs, neglect, seductions and other abuses that transpired when you were a child. In some forms of psychotherapy, a therapist will intentionally create or allow transference to form. When done properly, this helps a therapist to understand and find a connection between the patient’s past and how the patient misreads the present and may react ineffectively. Once you discover a transference pattern, you can chose to respond in terms of what is really happening instead of what happened 20 or 30 years ago. People who don’t recognize the difference between past and present can end up in the same messed–up relationships over and over or with the same problem over and over.
Extreme Transference. In an extreme form of transference, you may conclude that someone is an awful or evil person when in fact that person’s favorite food and television show reminds you of an emotionally abusive mother and a sexually abusive brother you have been trying to forget since childhood. That’s an example of negative transference. A warm, supportive and kind person could remind you of what you are missing and wanting in their life. You might then idealize that person and begin to see him or her as wonderful beyond belief. The idea is that you will react to your therapist based on your experience with another person. This is usually a parent that the patient has an unresolved conflict with. In extreme cases a patient will become overly attached to their therapist or they will enter into and create conflicts without realizing how.
Transference Melt-Downs. Extreme forms of transference can turn into a full-blown obsession if it is not dealt with. Transference "meltdowns" can result in accidents, dangerous choices, nightmares, fantasies, stalking someone, psychotic reactions and sometimes violence. While it does not happen frequently in therapy, it can happen in the patient's personal life.
Did anyone happen to check on those donations?
"Memorials may be made to CTRC or Angel Flight, c/o Benton County Funeral Home, 306 N. Fourth St., Rogers, 72756."
Those are both legitimate organizations. But has anyone checked with whomever collected the money and mailed it in to the charities to see that it went the the REAL charities.
NOt saying that such a thing happened, but it wouldn't be too hard for "someone" to incorporate a company called CTRC and start a checking account - and it would not be the first time something like that has happened, as those with long memories of all the players past and present will surely recall.
In fact, it would be perfectly in character!
A person may choose their treatment, HOWEVER,
when a person is told that they are being treated with a promising new cancer medication scheduled for FDA trials that is made in a "Class 10 lab facility operated to Class 100 specs" and it turns out that the so called new drug is actually an imported heart condition medication imported from Russia and no FDA trials have ever been applied for, much less scheduled, I think one might assume malfeasance.
By the same token, someone who sends emails to youth drug oriented groups attempting to convince them to make a home version of an oleander extract, mix it 50-50 with vodka and MINLINE IT might well be guilty of some serious offenses as well.
And one might safely assume that the U.S. Attorney in Washington who headed up the multi-agency probe, as well as two FBI offices, the FDA and others have all been furnished with this information and much more.
I always thought it was amazing that the Shamoda scammers furnished their human guinea pigs with an "antidote kit" to be administered via injection by a friendly bystander in case they happened to have a heart attack. Now there is a confidence builder for you!
Sinister and Bolt do go hand in hand don't they?
I have no idea what the cause of death was, but I too would like to know. IMHO, anyone who would lure someone away from a real IND drug that was the only thing that ever worked for their cancer by lying about the manufacturer and the drug just so they could use that person, and others, as free guinea pigs to point out to investors and use in lieu of conducting actual trials - and then callously stand by and let the person die because their cancer returned and continued to grow . . .
. . . anyone who would send fake emails to youth oriented drug forums telling them to go to the home remedy forum because it was a thinly disguised site about a drug that gave you a super high, and all you had to do was mix-it 50/50 with vodka and MAINLINE it (which would likely have been instantly fatal) just to try to strike at and discredit an opponent he attacked and grossly underestimated (wink), who turned around and helped expose Bolt and his schemes to one and all . . .
. . . and anyone with Bolt's known background of schemes involving multiple fake companies with non existent facilities and products that bilked unwitting investors, criminal activities including multiple convictions for impersonating law officers, public slander and attacks on honest citgizens, spurious harassment lawsuits, and avoiding creditors . . .
Yeah, I can see someone like that to do just about anything when it comes to serving their self-interests and greed for ill-gotten money. With characters like that, the whiff of last week's fish is usually telling.
However, the link to ancestors.com (when it works) clearly does show a marriage of a Paul McLouth to a Blanch Bolt.
Regardless of how the last name scenario happened, I am sure that now the Vandergrachts hold their noted in-law in highest regard, just as the Bolt family itself must surely be proud to have such a noteworthy legacy attached to their family name.
Just wondering, but do you suppose that now the 25% ownership in Scammoda which was, at one time anyway, in the name of the "Vandergracht Family Trust" will now revert to Bolt? If so, it might be worth enough to buy him an extra set of paper slippers that might come in handy soon. Better still, maybe it will even stretch far enough for some Preparation H . . .
Cancer would be my bet
And it is so damn tempting to make comments about that and Bolt's fake cancer drug Shimoda scam, but I will bite my tongue.
What I will do is pass along this information which offers perhaps another glimpse into Bolts twisted mind:
As most of you know, a non-existent "Paul McLouth" was identified as the head of Shimoda-Atlantic.
Did you know that Bolt told a Wall Street Journal reporter that Paul McLouth was his late grandfather's name?
Check out this link -- Blanch Bolt married Paul McLouth in the 1930s. So why would Jimbo still be named Bolt? Maybe Blanch divorced Paul McLouth and took her maiden name back.
Either way, there's some psychology there.

March 5, 2007
is the new date for the Shamoda Gang trial after the latest, and perhaps last, delay.
My source says that Bolt's attorney, Dodge, received a mere 1500 pages of evidence against them in discovery.
Kid Zeke says hello to all the old Raging Bull GECC forum group gang!
Between a Rockpile and a hard place
Let us not forget the assets hearing scheduled for the 20th of this month.
"In the matter of Highlands Oncology Group v jimBolt; Benton County, Arkansas; CIV 2004-873-3"
Seems like Jim Bolt lost by SUMMARY JUDGEMENT on 1-27-05; then lost again 2-23-05 when Highlands won a MOTION TO COMPEL. Oh, and Jim Bolt lost all the other motions he tried, to tie up Highlands Oncology Group. Even the bankruptcy thing didn't work.
Also, six other judgements against bolt are on record in the Benton County Courthouse. Clerk of Courts phone number; 479-271-1015.
The delimina I see for Bolt is that he either has to claim poverty, in which case he will be saying that his 50% ownership in Shimoda is worthless and esentially admit that the company is nothing but a sham like the ones he has tried to pull in the past, or else contend that it is worth something a be liable for the debts. In any event, if he is unable to satisfy his debts the plaintiffs should have a right to examine company ownership - which will likely reveal Arkansas recipients of that damning PPM (Private Placement Memorandum) revealed last month on RagingBull's now defunct GECC board, and further, in my opinion, will likely reveal a newer and even more damning PPM.
