And that's the real question, why would prior management have to liquidate everything to Big Lots so quickly if all/most of the distribution deals were still in place. To me it sounds like some of the distributors had stopped placing orders or canceled their contract because the product wasn't moving fast enough off of the shelves and they had no choice but to sell it to whomever before it expired.

When Adrian talks about still having good relationships with distributors, all that could mean is they don't have personally issues with the company or they never had any issues with receiving product when they did order. That doesn't mean they will automatically put the product back on the shelf after three years. Adrian is having to start over from scratch and convince stores and distributors to give DNA Energy another shot.

Actual it's all under Energy Brands/Glacéau. Coca-Cola bought them in 2007 or 2008, but Coke was only manufacturing the Vitamin Water. The Smart Water and the Vitamin Energy was still been manufactured at Energy Brands/Glacéau.

Also Coca Cola owns a 17% stake in Monster Beverage. Part of that agreement is, the only Energy drink Coca-Cola will distribute is Monster Energy. Now Adrian could possibly speak to the big wigs in Atlanta about a new agreement, but with the Eric Fowler fiasco and Adrian being all over the map, those Coke Executive won't give him the time of day.

I personally think Adrian best bet is to get a celebrity people have heard of, and it don't even have to be an A list one, and have them promote the drink. Vitamin Water wasn't popular until 50 cent started promoting it, then of course Coke bought it.

Correct, but Adrian made a comment before about weeding out flippers and getting those type of shareholders, at least a couple of hundred, I believe he said. When he said that my first thought was "you are on the OTC market" no average shareholder is going to be a longterm investor with any OTC stock in the sense that he was referring.

Why would anyone hold an OTC stock long term, unless they are stuck or at a loss. If Adrian or any other CEO don't want their stock flipped, they need to have it listed on the major exchange to attract long term investors. But most can't because they don't meet the requirements. So why would anyone be mad that someone took their profit right away. If the CEO can't even meet the minimum requirements to get listed on the major exchanges, why should the investor put their complete trust that the stock will go any higher or won't tank the very next day.

Adrian can't even raise any money for a product run without diluting his own stock, yet he states he and his "consultant" is well known in the area. Some think others should just hang on long term. Just because someone is well-known, doesn't always mean you're well-known in a positive since. Think about that, and why he and prior management is having or had problems raising capital. IMO

I'm just joking. I really do hope Adrian is not using the company as a front to SCAM. The product is actually good, it just needs to be sold/given to someone who knows the beverage industry and have resources.

What will you type on April 1, "April Fool's no product run." LOL

I don't believe most have ever had a problem with the product quality, maybe a limited few didn't like specific ones. The problem has always appeared to be management, past and present. I have always said if this product gets in the right hands of someone who truly want's this company to succeed and have long term resources, it can be very successful. You cannot run a company long term by robbing Peter to pay Paul and not knowing about the business you are suppose to be in. IMO

The below information came directly from the SEC. So until Adrian produce an actual product and generate revenue from sales to pay creditors and/or money owed to original investors, I and I'm sure others will look at this stock as a possible SCAM. You cannot run a business by robbing Peter to pay Paul and expect it to be successful long term. The way you run a business is by selling the companies products or services they offer.

Some can't even sell there stock because the company is selling new shares to investors (dilution) first before allowing the shares to trade between each new and existing investor. And the few who have sold, it took them months before they were able to completely cash out even though there were other investors buying.

Unless someone has a personal connection to Adrian or DNA Brands no one would get so upset about others opinions. Adrian has indeed lied about certain things, so yes people will be skeptical about what he is now saying. I don't think no one will just forget the things he said in the past that turned out to be false and just completely believe what he is currently saying.

If a CEO starts out by lying to his shareholders in the very first CC, of course we will think it could all be a SCAM. And I can't speak for others, but if I believe something is a SCAM or FRAUD I will take the proper steps to have it looked into and if everything is on the up and up a little investigation want turn up anything.

The problem with that statement is most who have been here since Adrian took over don't believe a word he says, write, or twit. If Adrian wants to save his so called reputation, regardless if it's a scam or not, he need to get some product produced ASAP. He has been caught in too many lies.

Some of these other OTC stock that are indeed SCAMS will at least have an actual product or service for show and will let shareholders make a little profit every once in a while. That's how they keep the Scam going and keep the SEC off their back.

Adrian can't even pull off a decent con/scam, (since this is what it's looking like more and more) that will keep at least a good portion of the shareholders happy every once in a while and cut down on the SCAM talk.

And that's the problem most people just walk away, and that's their choice. Others send rambling letters to the SEC out of anger and don't know how to properly state the details. That's why a lot of complaints get over looked because these crooks are a little smarter with their wording.

I have been watching this board, this stock and this company way before I started posing so I got a pretty good grasp of what is currently going on, and how I need to word things to prompt someone to take notice. Will something come out of it who knows, but I know what I am going to do if a product run don't happen.

I'm not concerned if the stock price moves or not. Adrian is promoting an April relaunch and collecting investors money for an April relaunch, so if it don't happen it's a SCAM.

All you need to know is this company will be reported to the SEC, if a production run regardless of size don't happen in April.

And I don't care if someone say the SEC want do anything. You never know what will happen if you don't try.
