Bonar is starting to look like one big slez...I live in Canada and I've been told by so many that the market makers get away with murder here in Canada but if you did some of the things that happen here in Canada.. in the States you'd go to jail...like...someone tell me how Bonar can do all of this...put up a new company...put out some shares...buy something...give it to another company that he is president to...shut one down start another...all on retail investors. Why aren't you guys and gals make some calls on this one...sounds like it is scamming big. Isn't there a thing that you can do about people like this...does the SEC not watch out for guys like this or do they like to see the investor raped of their money....I'm not picking on the States...but something really wrong seems to be happening here and probably some pretty clear practise of manipulation of the peoples money.
Okay Frankie...what's the company worth...or are all our shares wallpaper?
$50,000 buys 1/2 billion shares...would that be 25% of the company...sure would attract some thoughts from the company.
I am starting to wonder about BB
HOw can someone open a new company get it listed as a security and then let the business go...and 6 months later start up another business. As they use our money to start up the new companies and then cease communication with shareholders. No reporting to the SEC..what goes here...why wouldn't the SEC start to get a bit suspious about BB's activities. Have any of youtried to report his practices. Is it possible to get a share count out of those of you on this board...I have 500,000 and I paid a lot more then todays trading price...I'm sure that some of you have a lot more then I. Perhaps between us all we own the darn company and don't ever realize it. What's the outstanding on this company.
Would be interesting to hear...PROTEST!
Indictment in U.S. links to B.C. brokers
David Baines, Vancouver Sun
Published: Tuesday, April 29, 2008
In the fall of 2005, B.C. securities regulators cranked up the heat on Vancouver brokerage firms that were acting as conduits for illicit stock transactions.
The B.C. Securities Commission had just completed a marathon hearing into allegations that U.S. promoters had used Pacific International Securities to manipulate the shares of U.S. over-the-counter stocks and launder the proceeds.
A decision in this important case, which was expected to set new standards on Howe Street, was pending. Brokers were waiting with baited breath. Or so we thought.

Font:****At the same time, the Investment Dealers Association of Canada was hot on the trail of Union Securities, with respect to similar allegations.
The situation was so dire that in July 2005 the IDA placed Union under third-party supervision. This would keep the firm in line. Or so we thought.
In the middle of this regulatory shakedown, three brokerage firms -- two based in Vancouver and one in Toronto -- sold $32 million worth of allegedly fraudulent OTC stock at the behest of their crooked clients, then dispersed the proceeds to accounts in offshore tax and secrecy havens, according to an indictment handed down by a North Carolina grand jury last week.
Shockingly, one of those firms was identified as Union Securities, which during that very period was operating under the third-party supervision of Grant Thornton LLP.
The other Vancouver firm was Global Securities, which, under the leadership of chairman Art Smolensky and president Doug Garrod. The third firm is Blackmont Capital, a Toronto brokerage that also has an affection for OTC stock.
According to the indictment, Montreal promoter Bryan Kos conspired with U.S. spam king Jeremy Jaynes and convicted U.S. felon David Hagen to manipulate the shares of GTX Global Corp. and several other companies quoted on the "pink sheets" in the United States.
The indictment alleges that in April 2005, they delivered millions of GTX shares into a half-dozen offshore accounts, transferred those shares into accounts set up by offshore companies at Union, Global and Blackmont, then dumped the shares into the market.
"Approximately six million shares were sold from the brokerage accounts at Global Securities, Union Securities and Blackmont Capital for proceeds of approximately $32 million," the indictment alleges. "Proceeds of the fraudulent scheme were then further wired to and laundered through various foreign and domestic financial institutions," including First Caribbean International Bank in the Bahamas, Hellenic Bank in Cyprus, and First Curacao International Bank in the Netherland Antilles.
The indictment cites specific transactions. For example, on Dec. 2, 2005, the conspirators are said to have caused $1.2 million to be wired from an account at Global Securities in the name of Walcott Indies (an Anguilla-registered company) to an account at First Caribbean in the name of Montague Securities (a Bahamian investment advisory firm).
And on Nov. 21, 2005, $70,100 was similarly wired from an account at Union Securities in the name of Toussaint Liberte SA (another Anguilla-registered company) to First Caribbean.
Maybe someone can find an e-mail on this one and try to get some answers...it would be nice to have some sort of update on WMIN before B does the same to other investors...I thinks...

Apparently there is a NR today about Mr. Bonar...and it states that he is the CEO of a publicly traded company..WNMI...
Now why would they say that if this company was defunc...I still say that we are in the races...I'm sure that Mr. Bonar does not want to be discredited and should probably get his a in gear and show some mercy to stockholders.

How many SVET buying quitely
If they are do they have to disclose and if so how much or at what point of ownership do they have to disclose...9.9%?
Xanadu...through me in for 3 mil
X and Wick...thanks...some rather good points about disclosure. I am thinking the JF is calling SVET bluff to see if they will show their cards. I don't think that SVET will...but never get a hornet made... those Hornets sting when angry.
If correct I don't think that SVET has made one reference to how much a share they are willing to pay. If at all anyone...only JF knows.
And if like was stated in these discussions over the last few weeks...SVET is well past the date that they would have proceeded as far as the mention of hostile takeover procedures. And there is no increase in volume to make one think that someone is trying to pick-up large chunks of shares at these very cheap shares.
Like they say S**T or get off the pot....
SVET hostile takeover
Someone said last week that perhaps ten days were given for a reply. Seems that that period has ended and no announcements from either party.
Did anyone e-mail their interests to SVET and get a reply and if so...can you tell us the offer?
X well that release does say the price which was higher then six months ago
So is SVET offer just over .002 (assuming is better then six months ago) in that case it is not enough...it has to be at least .01
When the President leaves...I think that means a buyout. If GZFX replied on the 21st. Then company excepts offer...I think Chip is gone because it was the best way to do it. Hopefully we get a half decent amount for our shares. IMO anyway.
Need buy back 3.5 B shares at cost of about 2.3 Million dollars...math is not great here but...it would be about the only way that GZFX management could show that they really care or think that they are doing the right thingand at the same time gain controlling interesting in their company. And have a great plan of advance. Other then that I say they might as well work a deal with SVET. MTA
After Christmas months always suck in the retail business...everyone gets too busy trying to take care of their credit card bills from hilting them at Christmas...and then we had high gas prices and huge hydro bills and heating bills. 2nd and 3rd Q gets better.
5,000 subs is worth just over a million a year if they can keep them on the 16.99 program
Least they could do is give us some updates as to business. As said...is okay but not great. To get to 50,000 sub they need to pull a rabbit out of a hat. Not happy that they have not made mention of Uk business
1st 23,000
2nd 29,000 increase of 6,000
3rd 36,000 increase of 7,000
4th 44,000 increase of 8,000
Q Extension...Almost betting that we see a request for an extension on the release of the Q.
Way too much for the JF and CG to think about right now.
I wonder.....if the sub numbers are absolutely horrible and that we get an atrocious number on the increase of OS's
What do you suppose will happen to the ask and bid prices of the stock.
SVET will gobble them up till they hurt.
JF and CG hope that you guys have something good for us...
Bid just moved up to .0007
Hostile...then we see an increase in volume and price moves up. Because then we have something that they want. Our shares...but who ever is selling today...if it is not GGI...is making a big mistake.
GZFX have had four days to think about this. A Response should have been prepare to meet monday's opening.
Unless they have something real good to tell us...rather other then the SVET PR...
If SVET really wants GZFX...then perhaps we definitely have ownership in a going concern.
GZFX should have something out by noon in my opinion. They are definitely very poor at communications to their shareholders. IMO
SVET could own 10% of this company by days end for $360.000...if it keeps trading at .0005 .0006
There should be a response by GZFX now....or is this a GGI dump
My take...most of the GZFX community or shareholders are not aware of this offer. So are letting their shares go. Until PR is released from GZFX...nothing is known.
If the Q is good that is even better...if Q is lousy...who knows.
GZFX needs to reply to this...it would also be good to see the offer...the trade off or the hostile stance. A dollar figure would be good to see.
So Wick do you think hostile of good or bad. How many shares would they have to buy to do hostile. 3 Billion...and as they have made that suggestion...does that mean that they already own a fair share. But again if they had already began the buying process would they have to declared once they had picked up 9.9 % of the company.
How about GGI...if they think this is bad will they just dump everything they have. Be good once GZFX put out their own PR.
Any answers to this would be good.
73 mil first minute....
Is this Wick's Rocket that he has talked about for so long. GL to the The Believers
Almost more in pre-market...then Friday close...any guesses as to volume today...200 mil 300 mil
3.3 Mil gone pre-market
Small pre-market .0007 I think
Type in "SuperVision Makes Bid for Takeover" found the NR on Market Wire...WooooooooooHooooooooo come on bids.....
Interesting that that .0004 disappeared...3 trading days for Q.
Someone is buying...although some call it dumping. Large volume and little change in share price. That is good...
26 mil just went through but don't know how many went for .0005 or .0006
Calm before the storm
