98ZJNH- no one is getting .0001 on level2 only .00001 So for every 1 million shares you get $10
CLASS ACTION Time? I have a lawyer in mind
So when is it time for a shareholders CLASS ACTION
Quotes like "FULLY FUNDED for 7 years" is a total lie
ENRON Verdic came through GUILTY ON 19 counts. When is it FRANKS turn
IRISHBULL do you really think it was a shareholder? She was hired by Frank Imo.
We either file a Class action agaist FRANK and Qbid or make write offs loose everything and go away. Choice is ours. Class action wont bring us much money if at all, but maybe we can see FRANk go to prision
Now is it time for a CLASS action against Frank and Qbid. Atleast to see Justice, if no money
Your a lair and not a shareholder, that has been proven already, you were hired to keep us going imo
Anyone else seen the BUYS on L2? Who the heck is buying mm's?
ANYONE ELSE NOTICE SKUNKSYARD IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN? looks like her job is done
Then dont ask for something you trully do not want. You started this topic by asking for proof. That proof was offered. You turned it down. Why did you turn down, what you asked for in the first place?
If you were truly a shareholder and you asked for Proof and that proof was offered you would jump at the chamce to get it. Its not about how many shares you own
Ok I will ask a serious question. One I would like a serious reply to. Was Frank really GAY? I believed he lied about this. Like all the other lies he perpetuated against shareholders
Excatly , He asks for proof and then refuses the proof when offered to him. Then calls it personal attacks. lol
Over for you maybe ,but not for me. I will continue to disprove your intentions. they are not honorable (imo) you have an agenda. Being a shareholder is not one of them
Its about credabilty, of which you have none
"qbider...you made your point. I responded. Cork it."
I decide If I want to Cork it, NOT YOU
skunksyard- Stop asking for the same info that was offered to you. Your acting like a child
Why do you ask for info you do not really want?
Are just pumping Frank?
skunksyard- you keep asking for Proof of Franks Illegal wrong doings. I offered to mail you this proof. You refused to supply your mail address.
So time you be quite
eCogitoErgoSum I just saw the news. Sorry

QTN runs out of cash – staff laid off

Just two months away from a commitment to broadcast Gay Games VII from Chicago, Q Television Network abruptly laid off all its employees last week.
The for-profit gay cable and Internet broadcast company, delivered through several major cable outlets in San Francisco, Boston, New York, Chicago, and other markets, had in December 2004 promised to pay Gay Games organizers $1.7 million in cash and provide $1.5 million in "advertising and programming benefits" for the exclusive right to broadcast Gay Games events. The company also agreed to unscramble its signal during the Games to make the broadcasts widely available in more than 150 markets worldwide.
Kevin Boyer, co-vice-president of Gay Games Chicago, issued a statement in response to questions from the Bay Area Reporter to several Games officials this week. In the statement, he said the Games had "dissolved" the contract it signed with Q Television Network after "discussions" with the company "earlier this year."
Although the Games organizers remain "open to some degree of QTN involvement with broadcasting," said Boyer, they have talked with "additional potential partners in television, radio, and online streaming media."
The Gay Games takes place July 15-22 in Chicago.
[See story, sports section]
Lloyd Fan, who took over as head of the beleaguered QTN on March 7, said the company is "still trying to restructure" and that he hopes to "move forward" with Gay Games coverage. He also estimated that QTN had already paid Gay Games about $1 million of its commitment.
Fan said QTN had to lay off its employees this month because it "ran out of money." He said he had not been able to "arrange proper financing" of the company because the company had "not been able to provide proper audit and finance statements" to investors.
Q Television Network (not to be confused with the San Francisco cable program QTV Newsmagazine was founded in Palm Springs, California, in April 2004 and billed itself as "by and for the gay community." According to an Associated Press report in April 2005, its founder, Frank Olsen, was a former gay bar owner in Seattle and served as chairman and CEO of both the network and its parent company, Triangle Multi-Media of Seattle.
While the network showed signs of growth – entering more markets through such media giants as Time Warner, Cox, RCN, and Verizon; buying a production studio in Burbank for $25 million; signing a contract with performer Sandra Bernhard; and employing an estimated 100 employees – it also showed signs of trouble and, in February of this year, laid off all its employees. It eventually hired some of them back and on February 27, Triangle issued a press release saying Olsen was appointing entrepreneur Fan as "interim president" of QTN. A week later, the company issued another press release saying that, under "a new agreement," Fan would immediately assume Olsen's roles as chairman and CEO of Triangle Multi-Media Limited and Q Television Network.
Although Olsen wasn't mentioned by name, the March 7 press release also indicated that " all Triangle Multi-Media Limited and QTN officers and board of directors have resigned their positions and have relinquished all responsibilities and affiliations."
Fan immediately closed down the network's Palm Springs offices, consolidating its operation at its studio in Burbank. He also sent a letter to shareholders saying the company was "positioned to prosper in the GLBT marketplace."
Then last week, in an e-mail dated May 3 and addressed to more than 40 people working on the network, Fan said the company had simply run out of money and options.
"It is with deep regret, I must terminate your employment effective today due to the network's inability to pay salaries," wrote Fan in the e-mail. "As you know, since I have taken control of the company on March 7, 2006, I have worked tirelessly to secure funding for the company. All negotiations with potential sources have ended and there are no longer any options on the table."
Boyer of Gay Games Chicago said the event's contract with QTN was "structured in advance to ensure that any subsequent difficulties experienced by Q Television would not have a significant negative impact upon the financial strength of the 2006 Gay Games."
skunksyard- Please don't act stupid. I said, I am willing to mail you a copy of all the proof I have. Please give me your address, So I can send you the proof you say no one has.
skunksyard- Please let me know where you would like me to mail a copy of my folder with the proof you request. tia
skunksyard- I been watching you for a long time now. I really don't think you can Save Frank& Co from legal action. Why would you want to? High Risk Stocks does not give the CEO the right to LIE to his shareholders. A RISK is one thing, To Lie is another. Most of us have a folder of all the lies, including the DVD.
Ever hear of ENRON? That CEO Lied too.
anyone have that link for Verizon Fios Coverage area? thanks
Not the one that you have to put in your phone number or address.
the one that clearly lists all the states and towns Verizon FIOS is in.
Whoever said PAulie Walnuts is Mr.FAN is a TOTAL basher
Whatever happened to that rumor that a shareholder met frank in the QTN office parking lot and Frank said" I bet you all your shares that Qbid will be $.02 by gay games"
What happned to that. Maybe he should of taken that bet
Don't agree as long as QBID is in trouble. Frank's name will be used. When we hit $.03 again. Then I would agree to stop using his name.
Unless you would like me to LIE and say I wont use his name and then use it? You might be used to that anyway
'Gung Hay Fat Choy'
Translation = “I wish you wealth” It was what the Chinese say to each other on Chinese new years. It is also used for “Good Luck”
So today is a start of a "NEW YEAR" with Mr. Fan. We are starting over. We all wish him wealth and good luck. We need to start with a clean slate. To know what is told to us is not a lie. To have trust in our leader. I know for one thing. Almost everything Frank told anyone was a lie. He broke almost every contract he made.
We have to be in better hands. I do not feel that Mr.Fan with his track record will lie and hurt anyone.
In fact his presence will give QBID the breathing room to make it now. HE has 6 months to turn this around or not (imo) If he can do it then we all make our money back.
Its hard for me to wish Frank well since I feel lied too. He will get what is coming to him. His name is MUD and he wont be able to start a new “Network”
So please join me in wishing Mr. Fan GOD speed and good luck.
Qbider2
Zmanl Those rumors where done by bashers only. We have no idea what FAN will do
