What advice has the attorney given? Yes/No on this injunction?
Hate to see six figues go POOF lol. I assume the Tom will give the dtcc what they want at some point and we trade diluted as heck?
Your right brother, we don't have facts and there is rabid speculation. Can't argue with that lol. Would be nice to have something to hang our hat on now. Can't hurt to send off a letter to your brokers and hold on to their response. End of the rope?
yeah, left a voice mail for Larry the other day. Basic, to the point information. No rude comments, just facts. the facts are more than enough.
Agreed- Lurkers need to join this cause as well. Lets make it happen folks!
well, i pitched a fit at etrade about this situation. going to email them today at some point as well. not sure if this is a Hail Mary pass or working in concert to grease the outcome? whats the statue of limitations on something like this? alot of shuk & jive.
i don't want to beat a dead horse here, but injunctions are approved & upheld by the judge i believe? unlike a civil suit that anyone can file about anything etc.. if someone knows more on injunctions i sure would appreciate your input.
OT: got it Ohbull, thank you.

OK, thank you all for your honesty, really. Tom, a PR stating what you can at this juncture with the letters going out from here and thats all that can be done. It is what it is.
HAS THE INJUNCTION BEEN FILED. IF SO, GREAT! IF NOT, WHY NOT!
IF YOU DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, DO NOT RESPOND. Thank you.
very true camper9 em
Hmm... ok then lol. first off i have a big dog in this fight and you don't own anything here, correct? second, your Johnny Come Lately speaking in parables approach IS offensive and not helpful. if you have some juice then use it for Heavens sake!
now stop speaking in parables newbie

your right alynnb, imo just file the injunction in N.Y. and let the chips fall where they may at this point. of course thats easy for me to say because i don't have all the facts.
i'd like all the facts however.
ot: we had some 20 something year old boys steal a couple of tractors and a hay bailer around here. now these boys are just a bunch of under-exposed dumb kids stealing to get meth or what have you. the farm equipment was recovered soon after their arrest so damages are very little.
the D.A. is charging them under the organized crime laws he said last night. now these boys will be incarcerated for decades for this stupid crime they committed in their youth.
the group that should be prosecuted under the rico law are the ones that sold hundreds of millions of air shares into the market place here. they're preditors
who is the companys new transfer agent? don't they help in this process? tia
prases? lol sorry phrases
you could take these prases a couple of different ways i guess,
"thanks for the words of encouragement. Bcit is pushing forward, slowed
somewhat by the latest batch of obstacles which have served only to clarify
where we intend to go. Keep your powder dry"
HeII, the mans doing all he can. Can't ask for much else imo.
an amateur investigator? funny read:
Stock Hypers, Shorts, Investigators and Shady Dealings!, September 3, 2000
Reviewer: Donald Mitchell "Founder of The Billionaire Entrepreneurs' Master Mind -- http://billiondollarbusiness.blogspot.com/" (a Strategic Management professor, author and consultant in Boston) - See all my reviews
John Emshwiller is an investigative reporter for The Wall Street Journal who specializes in writing about fraud. In this book, he focuses on some of the most famous characters who are known on the Internet bulletin boards of the Web site, Silicon Investor. These include Tokyo Joe (hyper), Big Dog (hyper), Anthony@Pacific (short), GA Bard (hyper), Janice Shell (amateur investigator), Jeffrey S. Mitchell (amateur investigator and no relation to me that I know of), SI Jill (bulletin board cop), and Pluvia (short). If you have always wanted to know more about these people because you read their postings, this book will tell you details that will intrigue you. As you can imagine, few people are what they seem on the Internet. Almost everyone in this account has something to hide, but as their fame grows access to the dirty details does too. As the book was being finished, the SEC filed suit against Tokyo Joe in what will probably be just the beginning of many such suits to stop scalping and failing to disclose payments from companies to hype stocks.
These individuals started as people who wanted to have some fun, run a few stocks to make some money, and gain a little fame. The rapid growth of Internet investing has turned them into influential commentators who can make enormous sums offering their services and investing. This is their story, as shared with and uncovered by Mr. Emshwiller.
If you already follow some of these people, you already know what a Scam Dog and a Mo-Mo Mama are. Since this is a book about Internet bulletin boards, I will assume that you may not know. The definition of a Scam Dog in the book is "a stock that combines the qualities of a 'scam' and a 'dog,' being at worst a fraud and at best overvalued and headed for a fall." You will meet a lot of them in this book. A Mo-Mo Mama is "a stock that is quickly rising due to excitement among traders, sometimes triggered by news, Internet chatter, disinformation, and sometimes by the need to be excited about something."
There is always a four-way battle going on with these investor bulletin boards. The hypers are trying to get people to buy (usually after buying themselves), the shorts are trying to get people to sell (usually after selling themselves), the amateur investigators are trying to debunk one side or the other, and the company is trying to either hype itself or correct misimpressions. One of the strengths of this book is that it contains a lot of e-mails that were posted. These are crude (in many senses of that word) signs of the battle. These Internet celebrities get death threats, hate mail, and insults by the ton. Why do they start doing it? "For one thing, the Internet offers anybody who wants it -- be he burrito maker, bard, or boob -- a shot at something at least as addictive as making money: the chance to be somebody in the eyes of somebody else." That seems to be the bottom line of this ego-driven book. People apparently cheat in describing themselves, their investment results, and how they behave relative to investors. The combined temptations of money and fame easily overcome them. In many cases, these are people who would not stand up to too much scrutiny in public, as this book reveals.
"Be very careful!" over the Internet is the simple lesson of this book. The person you are dealing with is likely to be out to pick your pocket.
If you enjoy long strings of insults, you'll find lots of funny reading here. If you don't, then skip those sections and go on with the story.
Then after you read this entertaining guide to what not to do, ask yourself where else you need to be careful on the Internet.
Good luck!
////i guess everyone gets their 15 minutes huh? lol

I agree hurley, its all good.
p.s. if we don't trade by the 16th....
i'll do fifty push-ups lol. sorry for my manic behavior lol had good news today.
i agree Arkait. OT: when this trades ol' Art
will be an instant cult figure to the small cap investor
that reads these boards. i somehow came to this board here
and Art2Geko had created this board with
diamonds on it (long story) I found out the O/S and bought like a fifth
of the friggin float without much movement in the stock price
as best as i remember. hmm, so Art took the bull by the horns
and after days of looking for TM's number finally got it and
called him. Arts the guy that through all the BS has been a
rock. When this trades i want ya'll to yell HAIL TO KING ART2GEKO, because i know i will. won't be long now imho.
seems as though the dtcc would like to take their ball and go home huh? well big brother, your staying and playing AND WE DON'T NEED YOUR BALL, WE BROUGHT OUR OWN TO THE GAME! ; )
hope they don't mind a little trash talkin. heavens knows they can dish it out lol
the dtcc still has their azz in a sling no matter how you ask a question. no? ; )
bravo legalegaltx
OT: no doubt, south Louisiana is nothing like north Louisiana. southern La. WAS the power base of the political structure in the state. example: the #1 place to shoot movies in the U.S. outside of Cal. is Louisiana (mucho state subsidies). hollywood has moved most of their operations in La. to Shreveport and closed down most in N.O. a majority of the population now (post Katrina) live in the north now & will gradually influence the corupt state government & enter the 21st century like Shreveport & Bossier City have. the only problem these two cities have now is getting a grip on their booming economy/growth from the middle & upper class fleeing N.O. (my wifes family lives in Shrev.)
what i guess im trying to say is Louisiana was perged of its disfunctional power structure by Katrina and is now on the road to a true recovery for the state as a whole.
its all good em
shorebyfive, lol sounds like your Rep. has something to say as well.
lol these ol' boys are hurting if they employ this motley crew

The issue is DOA bobby em.
No doubt camper9.

You do know you have to own shares, right? Just checkin : O
Bob, no class action until we've exhausted ALL avenues. Thats
the end of the line. imo the DTCC would welcome a class action at this point.
