Duke Energy Seeks $214 Million in Federal Funds to Accelerate Electric 'Smart Grid' in Five States
Press Release
Source: Duke Energy
On Thursday August 6, 2009, 12:04 pm EDT
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK - News) today applied for $200 million in federal infrastructure funds to accelerate the utility's $1-billion electric grid modernization project in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky - one of the largest "smart grid" initiatives in the U.S.
The company also applied for an additional $14 million in federal funds for smart grid transmission lines and demonstration projects in North Carolina and South Carolina.
Duke Energy submitted its applications to the U.S. Department of Energy, which will award $4.5 billion in smart grid grants nationwide as part of the economic stimulus and infrastructure bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama earlier this year.
Duke Energy plans to convert its entire electricity-delivery infrastructure into an advanced, state-of-the-art smart grid.
The federal funds would allow the company to complete much of its smart grid work in Ohio and Indiana by late 2012 - two years earlier than originally planned.
Essentially an "energy internet," the smart grid will use two-way digital communication to improve energy efficiency, bolster system reliability and detect power outages - as well as integrate renewable energy into the grid and reduce carbon emissions.
"We intend to transform the way electricity is delivered to, and managed by, our customers," said Todd Arnold, senior vice president for smart grid and customer systems at Duke Energy, America's third-largest electric utility. "Our goal is to replace
today's non-interactive electric grid with a highly interactive two-way communication grid that uses advanced digital technology."
In Ohio, Duke Energy soon will launch a mass deployment of smart grid technology, including more than 700,000 electric smart meters and 450,000 natural gas smart meters at customers' homes and businesses.
The new digital smart meters, capable of two-way communication between customers and the utility, will replace the traditional meters that have been the industry standard for decades.
In Indiana, Duke Energy is seeking approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to install approximately 800,000 smart meters.
In addition to smart meters, Duke Energy plans to install power-line automation - both hardware and software - to improve efficiency and reliability on its electric grid in Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky.
The company also is laying the groundwork to bring large-scale smart grid technology to two other states it serves - North Carolina and South Carolina.
"Our smart grid will create a two-way digital link between us and our customers, allowing us to operate more efficiently and helping our customers better manage their electricity consumption, eventually using electronic home energy management devices," Arnold said.
Duke Energy's smart grid also will facilitate the eventual widespread adoption of plug-in electric vehicles, as well as potential new variable pricing options for electricity.
"Our smart grid will be among the most comprehensive in the electric utility industry," Arnold said.
Duke Energy's smart grid communications architecture will be based on what the industry calls "internet protocol-based open standards" - an approach that permits easy accommodation of new and emerging communications technology as it becomes available in future years.
More information on Duke Energy's smart grid is available at: http://smartenergynewsroom.com .

No, those documents were removed from the list. There follows a memo, an affadavit and three exhibits in support of that motion.

The SEC actually states:
(3) An issuer must file an amendment to a previously filed notice of sales on Form D for an offering:
(i) To correct a material mistake of fact or error in the previously filed notice of sales on Form D,as soon as practicable after discovery of the mistake or error;
...and I'm pretty sure I have no idea what you were trying to say here:
We can see there were massive changes in the company. It was Pacific Trust or some finance company before. There were decreases in stock prices of more than 10%. The amount of investors will eventually increase to more than 35%. The stock price will increase more than 10%. There were changes in formation prior to and present day within the company.
The SEC is referring to changes in the "minimum investment amount"(of the offering) and the "total offering amount", not fluctuations in PPS.
I noticed that the code you posted was unfortunately abridged.
Anyway, here is the uncut version for those playing along at home:
§ 239.500 Form D, notice of sales of securities under Regulation D and section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933.
(a) When notice of sales on Form D must be filed.
(1) An issuer offering or selling securities in reliance on §230.504, §230.505, or §230.506 of this chapter or section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 must file with the Commission a notice of sales containing the information required by this form for each new offering of securities no later than 15 calendar days after the first sale of securities in the offering, unless the end of that period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, in which case the due date would be the first business day following.
(2) An issuer may file an amendment to a previously filed notice of sales on Form D at any time.
(3) An issuer must file an amendment to a previously filed notice of sales on Form D for an offering:
(i) To correct a material mistake of fact or error in the previously filed notice of sales on Form D, as soon as practicable after discovery of the mistake or error;
(ii) To reflect a change in the information provided in the previously filed notice of sales on Form D, as soon as practicable after the change, except that no amendment is required to reflect a change that occurs after the offering terminates or a change that occurs solely in the following information:
(A) The address or relationship to the issuer of a related person identified in response to Item 3 of the notice of sales on Form D;
(B) An issuer's revenues or aggregate net asset value;
(C) The minimum investment amount, if the change is an increase, or if the change, together with all other changes in that amount since the previously filed notice of sales on Form D, does not result in a decrease of more than 10%;
(D) Any address or state(s) of solicitation shown in response to Item 12 of the notice of sales on Form D;
(E) The total offering amount, if the change is a decrease, or if the change, together with all other changes in that amount since the previously filed notice of sales on Form D, does not result in an increase of more than 10%;
(F) The amount of securities sold in the offering or the amount remaining to be sold;
(G) The number of non-accredited investors who have invested in the offering, as long as the change does not increase the number to more than 35;
(H) The total number of investors who have invested in the offering;
(I) The amount of sales commissions, finders' fees or use of proceeds for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters, if the change is a decrease, or if the change, together with all other changes in that amount since the previously filed notice of sales on Form D, does not result in an increase of more than 10%; and
(iii) Annually, on or before the first anniversary of the filing of the notice of sales on Form D or the filing of the most recent amendment to the notice of sales on Form D, if the offering is continuing at that time.
(4) An issuer that files an amendment to a previously filed notice of sales on Form D must provide current information in response to all requirements of the notice of sales on Form D regardless of why the amendment is filed.
(b) How notice of sales on Form D must be filed and signed.
(1) A notice of sales on Form D must be filed with the Commission in electronic format by means of the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System (EDGAR) in accordance with EDGAR rules set forth in Regulation S–T (17 CFR Part 232).
(2) Every notice of sales on Form D must be signed by a person duly authorized by the issuer.
[73 FR 10626, Feb. 27, 2008]
An amendment for what? The offering is closed. Perhaps if there were a material error that has been neglected, he would be required to amend it. It appears (to me) that he failed to file it in a timely fashion with the SEC. I'm guessing that piggy-backing on the shell with no current information disclosure didn't help matters either. I think he's knee deep in the hoopla.imo
I would be pleasantly surprised if this ever gets out of the grey zone.

Q3 Is any exemption available for Rule 504 filers?
A3 No. Rule 504 provides an exemption from registration under the federal securities laws. Going forward, these issuers will no longer be allowed to be quoted on the OTCBB.

How Does a Company become Quoted?
http://www.pinksheets.com/pink/otcguide/issuers_getquoted.jsp
To become a Pink Sheets Company, you need to find one market maker willing to quote your company's stock. Only SEC-registered broker-dealers (market makers) that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) can quote securities in the Pink Quote system.
There are three ways a market maker can initiate a quotation in a security that is not already quoted on the Pink Quote system:
•Form 211 - SEC Rule 15c2-11 requires that, before a broker or dealer publishes proprietary quotes on a quotation medium, it must gather, review, and retain certain information about the issuer. The market maker must file a Form 211 with the FINRA OTC Compliance Unit, along with two copies of the required issuer information. After a successful review, the FINRA Compliance Unit will notify the market maker that it may enter a quotation on the Pink Quote system. Issuers may contact a registered broker-dealer for sponsorship of a security on the Pink Quote system. For more information on the 211 process, see:
◦Quoting Pink Sheet Securities
◦SEC Rule 15c2-11
◦211 Q & A
•Unsolicited Quote - An exception to Rule 15c2-11 exists for Unsolicited Customer Orders. To avail itself of this exception, a FINRA member firm must ensure that the quotation published or submitted: (1) is solely on behalf of a customer; (2) represents the customer's indication of interest; and (3) does not involve the solicitation of the customer's interest. For more information, see:
◦Unsolicited Quotes below.
•Exemption to Rule 15c2-11 - If a market maker already quotes the security in another market center, the market maker may qualify for an exemption to Rule 15c2-11 and skip the review by the FINRA OTC Compliance Unit. In this case, the market maker can contact Pink OTC Markets and request to quote the security in the Pink Quote system immediately.
◦15c2-11 Exemptions
Finding A Market Maker to Sponsor Your Company
There are over 200 market makers that participate in the Pink Quote system. Only one market maker quotation is required to be considered a Pink Sheets security; however, not all market makers are willing to file a Form 211. Many market makers will begin to quote a security after it becomes "piggyback qualified" and they can do so without filing the Form 211.
Pink OTC Markets cannot recommend specific market makers. However, market makers listed in our Service Provider Directory welcome potential issuers to contact them to discuss making a market in their company's stock.
Listing Requirements and Fees
There are no listing requirements to be a Pink Sheets company. Current financial information must be submitted with the Form 211. Current FINRA rules do not require the financial statements of Pink Sheets issuers to be audited, but they should be prepared in accordance with GAAP or, for foreign issuers, in accordance with their home country's accounting standards.
While Pink OTC Markets Inc. does not have a requirement that the issuer continue to provide updated financial information to Pink OTC Markets; federal securities law requires that adequate current information must be publicly available when an issuer's securities are traded in the OTC market under the following circumstances:
•At the time of initial quotation in public markets;
•At any time corporate insiders or other affiliates of the issuer are offering, buying or selling the issuer's securities in the OTC market;
•During any period that the issuer or affiliates of the issuer are directly or indirectly engaged in promotional activities having the effect of encouraging trading of the issuer's securities in the OTC market; or
•At the time securities initially sold in a private placement become freely tradeable in the OTC market. If any of the four above situations are occurring, issuers subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 must be current in their reporting obligations to the SEC and we provide the OTC Disclosure and News Service for non-SEC reporting issuers to make their information publicly available. For more information on these services, please see the OTC Disclosure and News Service section.
Issuers pay no fees to be quoted on the Pink Quote system. Market makers pay a monthly fee to quote a security.
How a Company Can Help a Market Maker Quote Its Stock
A company can help a market maker quote its stock by providing the market maker with information. SEC Rule 15c2-11 requires a broker/dealer to obtain and keep in its files certain information about an issuer before initiating a quote for the issuer. The market maker must have a reasonable basis for believing that the information is accurate and obtained from reliable sources. The required information includes a general business description, location and contact information, officers, total shares outstanding, transfer agent, recent prospectus or offering circular, balance sheet, retained earnings and profit and loss statements.
FINRA monitors compliance with this rule by requiring market makers to file a Form 211 at least 3 days prior to quotation in the Pink Quote system. FINRA review may take a considerable amount of time depending, among other things, on whether or not FINRA requests additional information from the market maker and the amount of time required to respond to requests for additional information.
•Form 211 (pdf)
Quotation of a Delisted Security on the Pink Quote system
Because the Pink Quote system is a quotation medium for subscribing members and not an issuer listing service, a delisted issuer cannot "list" themselves in the Pink Sheets.
Delisted from NASDAQ
If a security has been delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market because the Issuer has not maintained NASDAQ's listing requirements and the security meets the following criteria, then the security will be available for immediate quotation in the Pink Quote system only for those market makers quoting in the security during the 30-day period preceding its removal:
•The security has been quoted continuously on NASDAQ during the 30 calendar days preceding its delisting, exclusive of any trading halt not exceeding one day to permit the dissemination of material news concerning the security's issuer.
•The issuer must not be the subject of bankruptcy proceedings.
•The issuer must be current in its filings with the SEC.
Upon delisting of a security meeting the above criteria, market makers that have quoted the security in NASDAQ during the 30-day period preceding its removal may contact Pink OTC Markets to enter a quote anytime prior to market close on the day of delisting, without submitting a Form 211. Generally, the security will become "piggyback qualified" in the Pink Quote system 30 days after delisting, at which time other market makers may enter a quote in the Pink Quote system without submitting a Form 211 to FINRA. A delisted NASDAQ issuer that wishes to be quoted in the Pink Quote system should contact their market makers to request that they register to quote the security in Pink Quote.
If the issuer does not meet all of the above criteria upon delisting, if it voluntarily delists from NASDAQ, or if no market maker entered a quote in the Pink Quote system on the day of delisting, then the usual Form 211 filing and review process will apply. However, many NASDAQ-listed securities already have published quotations on the Pink Quote system on an unpriced basis. This provides the market maker with an exemption to filing a Form 211 in the event the security is delisted from NASDAQ. In this case, any market maker that had been quoting the security in the Pink Quote system for the 30 days prior to delisting could continue to make a market in the Pink Quote system upon delisting. The security generally becomes "piggy-back qualified" the same day it is delisted and any other market maker can then enter its quotes in the Pink Quote system without first submitting a Form 211 to FINRA. To find out if a NASDAQ listed security is being quoted on the Pink Quote system concurrently, please call Pink OTC Markets' Issuer Services Department at 212-896-4420 or email us at issuerservices@pinkotc.com.
Delisted from an Exchange
If a security is delisted from The New York Stock Exchange or from the American Stock Exchange, then the usual Form 211 filing and review process will apply. However, some exchange-listed securities are already quoted in the Pink Quote system on an unpriced basis. This provides the market maker with an exemption to filing a Form 211 in the event the security is delisted from the Exchange. In this case, any market maker that had been quoting the security in the Pink Quote system for the 30 days prior to delisting could continue to make a market in the Pink Quote system upon delisting. The security generally becomes "piggy-back qualified" the same day it is delisted and any other market maker can then enter its quotes in the Pink Quote system without first submitting a Form 211 to FINRA. To find out if an Exchange-listed security is being quoted on the Pink Quote system concurrently, please call Pink OTC Markets' Issuer Services Department at 212-896-4420 or email us at issuerservices@pinkotc.com.
Unsolicited Quotes
SEC Rule 15c2-11 provides an exemption to filing a Form 211 with FINRA for brokers that wish to publish an unsolicited quote. An unsolicited quote represents a customer order and not a market maker's own position and must be removed from the system once the customer order is executed. Compliance with this rule is monitored by FINRA.
Federal securities laws require an issuer making a public offering of securities to file a registration statement with the SEC. Pink OTC Markets has become increasingly concerned that the unsolicited quote exception in Exchange Act Rule 15c2-11 is being abused by unscrupulous individuals to engage in questionable and possibly fraudulent activities in violation of the federal securities laws. Pink OTC Markets, as a matter of policy, does not believe that the Unsolicited Quote Exemption should be used to circumvent FINRA's 211 process. As a result, effective February 6, 2006, Pink OTC Markets is limiting the publication of unsolicited quotes to securities of seasoned issuers only. A seaoned security is generally defined as a security for which there has previously been a public market or a security of an issuer that has other seasoned securities.
Pink OTC Markets generally will publish unsolicited quotations in securities that meet one of the following five conditions:
1.The Issuer of the securities is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, is current in its filing obligations and has other seasoned securities currently trading on the NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ, OTCBB or the Pink Sheets.
2.The securities were recently delisted from NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ or the OTCBB;
3.The Issuer is a bank, savings and loan, or insurance company;
4.The securities were issued as part of a bankruptcy plan of reorganization; or
5.The security being quoted is a foreign ordinary, which is listed on a foreign exchange, or an ADR representing such ordinaries
In order to publish an unsolicited quote for a security that meets one of the above conditions and is not already quoted on the Pink Quote system, a broker should submit this form to Pink OTC Markets:
•Broker/Dealer Unsolicited Quote Entry (pdf)
Issuers of previously unseasoned securities that originally entered the Pink Sheets prior to February 6, 2006 using the unsolicited quote exemption and continue to be quoted only on an unsolicited basis are required by Pink OTC Markets to continue to make periodic disclosure using the OTC Disclosure and News Service. If the Issuer ceases to provide current information, Pink OTC Markets may cease to allow broker/dealers to publish quotes in its securities.

FERC Adopts Policy to Accelerate Development of Smart Grid
July 16, 2009
Docket No. PL09-4-000
NEWS MEDIA CONTACT
Mary O'Driscoll - 202.502.8680
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) took a major step today to accelerate the development of a smart electric transmission system that could provide long-term savings for consumers by improving the efficiency and operation of the grid. The Smart Grid Policy Statement sets priorities for work on development of standards crucial to a reliable and smart grid.
Smart grid advancements will apply digital technologies to the grid, enabling two-way communications and real-time coordination of information from both generating plants and demand-side resources. This will improve the efficiency of the bulk-power system with the goal of achieving long-term savings for consumers. And it will help promote wider use of demand response and other activities that give consumers the tools they need to control electricity costs.
The final policy issued today closely tracks the proposed policy issued March 19. It sets priorities to guide industry in development of smart grid standards for achieving interoperability and functionality of smart grid systems and devices. It also sets out FERC policy for recovery of costs by utilities that act early to adopt smart grid technologies. More than 70 sets of comments from interested groups indicated broad support for the proposed policy.
"Changes in how we produce, deliver and consume electricity will require ‘smarter' bulk power systems with secure, reliable communications capabilities to deliver long-term savings for consumers," FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff said. "Our new smart grid policy looks at the big picture by establishing priorities for development of smart grid standards, while giving utilities that take the crucial early steps to invest in smart grid technologies needed assurance about cost recovery."
"The smart grid policy provides a roadmap that will guide the transformation of the old grid into the grid of the future, while providing for fair regulatory treatment to consumers and utilities," Commissioner Suedeen G. Kelly said.
"It's our responsibility to help protect the security and reliability of the nation's electric grid by adopting effective cyber-security standards for the smart grid," Commissioner Philip D. Moeller said. "If we do that right, consumers can look forward to exciting new products and services from a smarter, safer and more efficient grid."
"The policy statement provides important guidance to focus and expedite ongoing industry efforts to develop interoperability standards - this will enable entrepreneurs to deploy new market based technologies to improve efficiency and reliability," Commissioner Marc Spitzer said. "Equally important, this policy statement is a step toward smarter rates that will enable customers to control their personal use of electricity."
The new policy adopts as a Commission priority the early development by industry of smart grid standards to:
•
Ensure the cybersecurity of the grid;
•
Provide two-way communications among regional market operators, utilities, service providers and consumers;
•
Ensure that power system operators have equipment that allows them to operate reliably by monitoring their own systems as well as neighboring systems that affect them; and
•
Coordinate the integration into the power system of emerging technologies such as renewable resources, demand response resources, electricity storage facilities and electric transportation systems.
The policy also provides for early adopters of smart grid technologies to recover smart grid costs if they demonstrate that those costs serve to protect cybersecurity and reliability of the electric system, and have the ability to be upgraded, among other requirements.
Importantly, the policy statement also explains that by adopting these standards for smart grid technologies, FERC will not interfere with any state's ability to adopt whatever advanced metering or demand response program it chooses. In adopting this policy, FERC continues to abide by the Federal Power Act's jurisdictional boundaries between federal and state regulation of rates, terms and conditions of transmission service and sales of electricity.
The policy will take effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.

Hey that is good news...if true...eom
That was my part, sorry for the convolution...eom
Actually, that first part was about the sale (by Bluechip) of two defunct subsidiaries (Kool-Glo/VoiceTeck) to Affordable Security Advances (LOL, how appropriate!).
I think ANVH paid considerably more than $5 for control of the shell. I'll give it look-see later but just wanted to provide a moment of clarity on that matter.
noquit, I think fff is 'spot on' in his reply:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=39234715
ANVH bought the shell, dirt and all. This should raise many questions for the true longs...
Why not pay the judgement that they are "carrying on the books" for more than a year?
How do you offer a dividend to shareholders while there remains the outstanding judgement?
How does Bruce settle his own liabilities (and BAGS!) while ignoring this one?
Paying this would be an indication that this company actually has assets to protect. Ignoring it suggests that they have nothing to worry about from Mr Anderson's judgement.
Things that make me go hmmmm....
LOL, I didn't think so.
Would you care about the past if it still had an unsatisfied default judgement levied against this company?

Hmmm, So what was the "I know something that you don't"?
That you had freed up your shares and were finally able to take this little piggy to market?
I have no problem with you shamelessly scalping shares, even unwittingly,lol.
I do take objection to unqualified buy/sell recomendations coming from anyone on a penny stock thread. That is reckless and inexcusable...IMO
Caveat Emptor
How nice of you to unload 200k on the longs while broadcasting an unqualified and unlicensed STRONG BUY recommendation on ANVH.
Funny that.
NIST Releases Report on Smart Grid Development
EPRI-Developed Report Discusses Priorities, Standards, Architecture
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
June 18, 2009
http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/releases/epri_smartgrid_061809.html
GAITHERSBURG, MD – The U.S. Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology today released for public review a report* that identifies issues and proposes priorities for developing technical standards and an architecture for a U.S. Smart Grid. The Smart Grid is a planned nationwide network that will use 21st century information technology to deliver electricity efficiently, reliably and securely, while allowing increased use of renewable power sources.
The nearly 300-page report, developed and delivered to NIST by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), is available on the NIST Smart Grid web site.
NIST will accept public comments on the report for 30 days after the publication of an upcoming notice in the Federal Register announcing the report’s availability.
This report is part of the first phase of NIST’s three-phase plan, announced in April, to expedite development of key standards for the Smart Grid.
“Widely adopted interoperability standards will enable integration, effective cooperation, and secure two-way communication among the many networked elements of a smart electric power grid,” said George Arnold, NIST National Coordinator for Smart Grid Interoperability. “This report is an important step forward in that process.”
Under the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, NIST has “primary responsibility to coordinate development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for information management to achieve interoperability of smart grid devices and systems…”
NIST is working closely with the Department of Energy, the lead agency in the federal Smart Grid effort.
Earlier this year, NIST awarded a contract to EPRI for assistance in developing the standards framework. EPRI technical experts have compiled and distilled recommendations from a variety of Smart Grid stakeholders, including technical contributions taken from two EPRI-facilitated, two-day, public workshops. The EPRI report also incorporates contributions from six expert working groups established by NIST in 2008, and a cybersecurity coordination task group established in 2009. Hundreds of people have participated in the road mapping process to date.
NIST will use the EPRI report in drafting the NIST Smart Grid Interoperability Standards Framework. The NIST document will describe a high-level architecture, identify an initial set of key standards, and provide a roadmap for developing new or revised standards needed to realize the Smart Grid. Release 1.0 of the NIST Smart Grid Interoperability Standards Framework is planned to be available in September.
A third public EPRI-sponsored Smart Grid interoperability-standards workshop will be held in early August to engage standards-development organizations in responding to unaddressed, high-priority needs identified in the draft standards roadmap.
Ultimately, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) determines whether sufficient consensus has been reached to implement final standards and protocols necessary for Smart Grid functionality and interoperability. NIST’s role is to identify and submit to FERC recommendations for the final product.
As a non-regulatory agency, NIST promotes U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.
*Report to NIST on the Smart Grid Interoperability Standards Roadmap (Contract No. SB1341-09-CN-0031—Deliverable 7) Prepared by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), June 17, 2009.

Italian Mafia suspects
arrested
A Narcotics Service investigation
linked a traffic stop in
Texas to the Italian Mafia in
Delaware. DPS Highway Patrol
contacted a Narcotics sergeant
following an interdiction traffic
stop in Sutton County that
yielded the seizure of $146,700.
The Narcotics sergeant
interviewed the suspect and
obtained additional intelligence.
Texas Department of Public Safety Annual Report 13
With the assistance of a DPS
crime analyst, the sergeant
identified two more suspects in
California and Delaware and
obtained a warrant for the
Delaware suspect’s arrest. The
sergeant flew to Delaware and
orchestrated a controlled delivery
of the currency that had
been seized in Sutton County.
As a result of the operation,
investigators seized an additional
$109,642 and four vehicles
worth almost $500,000.
The operation was conducted
with the assistance of Highway
Patrol, ICE and the Delaware
State Police.

...But there is NO CASINO, NO ROLLER COASTERS and NO BLACKJACK! Do you even believe that this company owns a spit of dirt in Columbia, or any country for that matter? I have seen nothing to suggest this.

VTPK...from pinksheets.com
Indicates companies that are not able or willing to provide disclosure to the public markets - either to a regulator, an exchange or Pink Sheets. Companies in this category do not make Current Information available via Pink Sheets News Service, or if they do, the available information is older than six months. This category includes defunct companies that have ceased operations as well as 'dark' companies with questionable management and market disclosure practices. Publicly traded companies that are not willing to provide information to investors should be treated with suspicion and their securities should be considered highly risky.

Well said, noquit!
That should be a sticky note.
How 'bout it Righty?
This is funny...it took the long way around the block...loooong way.

Doing a dividend for a start up company, even a Pink Sheet company is one of the requirements to go to certain higher trading exchanges.
No, it isn't. Did you misunderstand something you tried to read or are you just making this up? Is baiting YOUR SHAREHOLDERS with a dividend which YOU will rescind and cancel 6 months later a requirement too?
If it were, ANVH would be in full compliance.

That bus ride looks better than the tractor ride they made those poor children endure.
I think it's actually real and just looks like a horrible photoshop job. Doesn't mean anything though. It wouldn't be the first pink sheet bus rental,lol.
