He will have MULTIPLE REVERSES and hope suckers will beging posting "TOm has a secret plan" and "Tom will put biodiesel money in" posts. He is hoping there are a few I wanna be a penny millionaire suckers out there.
Uh....hello!!! DILUTION to begin after Reverse!! TOM did promise that and that is about the ONLY thing he isn't lying about. Did some here really think Tom wouldn't go through with Reverse?? I amazed at all of the folks mad at TOM one day after he was going to save us. There is NO reason for a Reverse but to make room for more DILUTION. And it will begin right away!!
We're screwed Lucky!!! You can twist it around, turn it upside down, put lipstick on the pig.....but in the end TOM has told the truth about the REVERSE and the MASSIVE DILUTION that will shortly beging.
It goes like this: Reverse followed by MASSIVE DILUTION....then another REVERSE followed by more MASSIVE DILUTION.....finally SCREWING TOM will convert his preferred shares and REVERSE one last time. In the end, he raises money from MASSIVE DILUTION and owns 80% of whatever he wants the FINAL outstanding share balance to be.
WHAT HAPPENS TO US? Our shares in the end will be worth a fraction of where they closed today. In other words maybe we get out with about 1% of where we started. GET OUT THE LUBE BOYS!!! TOM IS BACK!!!!!!!!
Trading .0003s!! Shorty news really worked!! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE ARE TOTALLY SCREWED!!! And more begins after REVERSE and DILUTION!!!
You guys better get to work then!!! Why do you think LYING TOM has held off a few weeks on the Reverse? He hoped his misleading BS coupled with the "Tom has a secret plan"..."we'll get shortie" posts to help drive pps up. He has almost screwed himself now as NOBODY is falliing for the BS!!!
In fact, WE ARE ALL SCREWED!!! LYING TOM got greedy and he now will pay as well!!!!
ROFLMAO....That's our last hope!!?? The shorty boogieman theory? I have some news for ya....the shorts are the ONLY ones that have made money here and it is because of the MASSIVE DILUTION and the CRAP companies LYING TOM has bought!!! If our hope is the SEC cracking down on shorts WE ARE ALL SO SCREWED!!!! LOL LOL
Reverse will create more room for DOWN DOWN DOWN!!! That is the purpose of the Reverse....to give some room for DILUTION DILUTION DILUTION!!! How many PRs did we have over the last year? Are we way up or way down? We're way DOWN!!!!
Why Doesn't LYING TOM or DIrectors own common shares??? If this was ready for such a great pop up, wouldn't some insiders own common shares?
TS owes nothing!!! Why do you keep thinking he will buy shares with his own money when he can use ours? In fact, he has already announced more DILUTION DILUTION!!! You do realize that menas he is SELLING shares not buying!!!! THERE IS NO SECRET TOM PLAN!!! It is the unsecret plan and it is called build a company by buying OVERPRICED companies from friends and relatives, LYING about shell costs and using common shareholder money to pay for it all!!!
WHY IS IT THAT LYING TOM and DIRECTORS DO NOT OWN ANY COMMON SHARES?????????
OH puhleeeease!!! Walmart smashes ANY retailer that gets in the way and you think hillbilly Hacketts will give them a run for their money!!?? I'm guessing the executives at Walmart have never heard of Hacketts!! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
Yeah why want a Walmart with their tons of revenue and earnings when you can have the quarter after quarter losses of a Hacketts!!?? NO BRAINER!!!!
Really??? Most of us are over 80% DOWN!!! COuld you please tell us HOW everything will be fine and please use specifics!! In other words, we've heard the BS about secret plans and biodiesel and blah blah blah. Can you or anybody else give a REAL scenario (without the do your own DD BULL) as to how it will all work out fine????? HUH!!??????
Wait...I thought LYING TOM had a secret plan? Isn't that what you've been saying? Some big plan that is obvious if we only read the filings? Now you say it is all KK's fault that I've lost over 80% of the value of my shares? And this is why LYING TOM and NO directors own any common shares? Hmmmmmmmm....
more likely that LYING TOM is part of the scam and screwed us when he bought the shell and paid for overpriced companies from himself and friends!!! Yep, if it walks and looks like a duck.....it's a duck!!!!!
It happens all the time!!! Wise Buys was losing and losing and they thought if they just turned the corner and worked out a sneaky little stock deal, ALL would be good. The fact is we all lost our money as LYING TOM bought overpriced companies and shells to try and make his original losing company turnaround.
Yes, this will be a classic business case study of just another penny scam led by what appears (wink wink) to be honest and trustworthy people. Time to email sis again, huh? Let's put the pressure on these scumbags!!!!
Here's some facts some IGNORE:
FACT #1: The pps over the last year is down down down down down!!! Unless you shorted, you lost tons of value!!!!
FACT#2: The outstanding shares over the last year have increased by 2 billion shares!!! And 10 billion more coming per filing (I do read them)
FACT#3: There is no secret TOM plan!! There is NO biodiesel!! There is nothing planned to help shareholders!! We get this promised by posters daily for months and nothing!!! Why is that lightbeam?
FACT#4: LYING TOM and Directors own ZERO common shares. Why wouldn't they want to own commons? What do they know?
XXXXX...sorry Lightbeam, but you were the one claiming you knew about the legacy debt prior to TOM LYING about how it was an accident. You need to provide the link or your post....a "you do your own DD" doesn't cut it. I hear that here so often.... "Things here are so great can't tell ya though as you'll have to do your own DD" LOL LOL LOL LOL
Also, I did read the filings so if you claim there is something there we missed, then provide the link and not the BS!! TIA
NO WE DID NOT KNOW!!! Please show me a post from before then that shows you knew that. The fact is TOM lied and then he bought overpriced companies, then he said DILUTION was over and he LIED LIED LIED. Why do you protect him when the stock is down down down over last year and most here are down 80%+????
HE LIED ABOUT LEGACY DEBT IMO. He's an EX broker and we're to believe he MISSED it!!?? If so, then he is totally incompenent to run SWVC and needs to resign immediately and turn over his preferred shares!!!
But since he's an EX broker, I'm guessing he KNOWS he was rewarding a friend and used the "missed the fine print" as a cover!!! I wouldn't trust LYING TOM any more than I'd trust a politician!! What? Oh he's a politician too!!! WE ARE SCREWED!!!!
LYING TOM WILL NOT SHOW!! In fact, he has NOT been at any recent grand openings!! He is screwing us and knows it and does NOT want a public confrontation.
TOM HAS BEEN LYING SINCE DAY ONE!!!!!
TOM BIG LIE #1 – The lawyers missed the fine print when we purchased the SWVC shell.
BULL!!!!!! Has anyone ever worked with a business or corporate law firm? It is their job to read the fine print. If they missed it, WHY isn’t Tom reporting them to the New York Bar Review Board? If they missed the fine print, why isn’t TOM suing them for the $$$$ it has cost the company and shareholder??? It is time to report the law firm to the New York Bar. Here is link:
http://www.nysba.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Ethics_Opinions&Template=/TaggedPage/TaggedPageDisplay.cfm&TPLID=7&ContentID=1421
Once the lawyers realize their reputation is on the line, watch how quickly LYING TOM retracts the “lawyers missed the fine print” BULL!!!!!!!!!!! Tom knew and he just decided to reward friends with OUR money!!!
TOM BIG LIE #2 – DILUTION will end shortly!!
BULL!!!! When LYING TOM made that statement the outstanding shares was around a billion. He then went on to more than double the outstanding shares and max out the A/S!!! Now he has announced an increase of A/S that will (at current ratio) increase the outstanding shares 25X!!!!! That’s 25 folks!!!!!! The pps will not go up until the NEWS IS BETTER THAN THE DILUTION!!!
TOM BIG LIE #3 – I would only have a reverse split to get on better exchange.
BIG BULL!!!! A 5 for 1 reverse split means at todays prices, we trade at .0025. For the decimal challenged that’s 25/10,000 of a penny. We are NOT a penny stock!!! We are a SUB-penny stock!!!! Last I checked the NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ don’t take sub-penny companies on!!!
We have been down down down (for months) even as the trading flip groups and paid pumpers tell us Tom has a secret plan he has yet to tell us about!! LOL LOL LOL The secret plan is this:
BUILD A COMPANY WITH NONE OF MY MONEY AND KEEP 80% AND SCREW THE SUCKERS THAT BELIEVE I TELL THE TRUTH AND HAVE A SECRET PLAN!!! LOL LOL Wake up folks!! The reverse split and massive DILUTION will mean down down down. Get some LUBE becasue we’re going to get it up our you know whats!!!!
Time to hit Tom where it hurts. Contact New York Bar. Go to this link and tell sister we’ll start writing letters to editor and her opponents to ask if she is part of the scam. Time to screw LYING TOM!!!!!
http://assembly.state.ny.us/mem/?ad=122&sh=con
LYING TOM OWNS NO COMMON SHARES!! What he will do is more of what he has already done!! LIE AND MISLEAD!!!
He will reverse and then DILUTE the crap out of this POS. The pps will drop to where we are now and then he will reverse and DILUTE all over again!! He will do this a few times and then when he is finished with the MASSIVE DILUTION, he will convert his shares and do one final REVERSE after which he will own 80% of a smaller number of outstanding shares. Those of us that have shares today will own about 1% of today's value when LYING TOM is finished.
WE ARE SCREWED!!!!!
Nobody missed the fine print!! That is a HUGE LIE!!! TOM is an EX broker and you actually believe he missed the fine print? It doesn't pass the BS test, not by a long shot!!!!
POS has to go above a penny for me to break even!!! My guess is that LYING TOM is placing fake bids and spending a couple hundred a day to keep POS propped up. He needs it to stay here so that after Reverse there is room for the MASSIVE DILUTION!!!!!!!!! You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out!!!
MORE LYING IS PLANNED!! HAVE YOU NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION!!?? THERE IS NO secret backroom plan!!! There is NO biodiesel money!!! There is nothing but MORE DILUTION DILUTION DILUTION!!!!
WE HAVE ALL BEEN SCREWED!!!!
SO far Tom's WILL is to LIE and SCREW shareholders!!! You expect a complete turnaround in his behavior now?? LOL LOL
Email Tom's sis and ask her if it is true that her brother is SCREWING shareholders!! Tell her you're sending the same email to reporters!!!
TOM HAS BEEN LYING SINCE DAY ONE!!!!!

LYING TOM IS GONNA DROP THE BOMB all right..the DILUTION BOMB!!!!
We have Reverse first and then DILUTION until right back to current pps but with only 20% of the shares you started with!!! That's the Bomb up our you know whats!!!!
And oh, by the way, LYING TOM can very easily survive without the common shareholders. Why do you think he ONLY owns preferred shares? He Reverses and DILUTES this to death and then converts his preferred and then one last Reverse and he has 80% of shares with (after all Reverses) has low outstanding share count. THE PERFECT SCAM!!!!!
It has already been SUICIDE!!!!!!!!! Don't you get it? Most of us here are down 80+%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tom's own SEC filing states DILUTION will be MUCH MORE MASSIVE than before. Did you not read that? You keep saying TOM will deliver but so far for the last several months only friends and family have benefited. Don't you get it!!?? He is an EX broker. He knows exactly how to screw the common shareholder. BTW, you have never answered why LYING TOM or Directors do not own ANY common shares?? If this was such a great deal now and Tom had a great "secret" plan, wouldn't insiders be buying it up like crazy? Why isn't that happening? Let me give you the answer: Insiders KNOW there will be a Reverse and then DILUTION DILUTION DILUTION and pps will AGAIN go DOWN DOWN DOWN. History WILL repeat itself!!! THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!! LOL LOL
HUH? All it shows is that it only takes a couple of hundred dollars to keep the pps propped up. LOL How is the pps after Reverse going to handle a few billion new shares? Have you not been paying attention over the last several months?? We have had tons of PRs and the pps goes down down down down down. WHY Because of DILUTION DILUTION DILUTION!!!! How is that going to change when the NEW MASSIVE DILUTION RENEWS?????? This is the temporary bottom!!! When the Reverse happens and the DILUTION starts it will be right back down to .0001 territory. Everyone here knows that and that is why there is little to ANY buying. I'm guessing LYING TOM and cronies are keeping the pps up hoping new suckers will jump on board waiting for the "secret" plan of LYING TOM to rescue us!! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
A lot of DILUTION in pipeline!!! Have you not been paying attention!!! Look at pps the last several months....now look at DILUTION last several months. Now look at Tom's announcement to REVERSE and add tons more DILUTION!!! How is it you think pps will go up??????????
Why would he do this to tarnish his reputation, Chris Swartz, and his sister's? Makes no sense.
Uh because he's an EX broker and politician and that's what they do?
How convenient that LYINNG TOM has this excuse!!! The fact is HE is suing NOT SWVC and he says he will "pursue the maximum value owed to Seaway"....that is true as the maximum owed SWVC is ZERO!!!!
It is just like Tom's LIE that the attorneys missed the fine print. LYING TOM is an EX broker!!! Does anybody here really believe lawyers or TOM missed the fine print when buying the SWVC shell?? More likely this was a planned payoff to friend and the lawsuit is a cover. SWVC has from DAY ONE been about buying OVERPRICED companies from friends and family, OFF OF THE COMMON SHAREHOLDERS BACKS!!!!
Please answer this AP: Why does LYING TOM or ANY directors not own any common shares????? HUH???????????
That's because shares are worthless!!!!! Have you not noticed that outstanidng shares have quadrupled and pps is down down down over last several months???? It is DILUTION that causes the pps dive not selloff!!!
But we'll get that as well. Just wait till last week of December for the massive tax selloff!!! LOL
Whatever....LOL The fact is over the last several months DILUTION has increased significantly and pps has done NOTHING but go down down down down. And all you can say is blah blah blah? I think you just answered my question as to whether we are totally screwed or not!!! LOL
Are we totally screwed!!??? Seems to be little if ANY interest in SWVC and if history is any indicator of the future, LYING TOM has more screwing in store for common shareholders!! In fact, he's warned us this time, a REVERSE so the MORE MASSIVE DILUTIUON can follow!! The only problem is I think almost ALL but a few diehards here have given up on the "Tom has a plan"...."Tom will give us bio-diesel money"....."Tom will reward longs with secret PRs" etc etc etc.
THERE IS NO SECRET PLAN other than LYING TOM intends to build a company off of the backs of the common shareholders. Ask yourself WHY LYING TOM or ANY DIrectors don't own common shares? You answer that question and you'll know WE ARE SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!
Tadaaaa, to match the massive buying???
Fact is all the REAL investors here know that what made this POS go down was not massive selling but MASSIVE DILUTION and Tom has announced a REVERSE followed by MORE MASSIVE DILUTION, so stay tuned as the pps will tank tank tank soon enough. Just look what happened last several months and expect more of the same and you won't be disapointed!!!
LOL....eyes not in focus...that's a million not billion. I was thinking of LYING TOM's massive Billions DILUTION on the horizon!!!
ROFLMAO!!! A million shares is $500!! What makes anybody think that LYING TOM or others aren't propping the pps up? In fact, I'm guessing that is exactly what is happening as no REAL investor is going to buy large amounts before a Reverse and massive NEW DILUTION. A REAL buyer would wait and get cheaper shares. ANd for those that say ohhhh Tom has secret PRs to blast pps up. Ok,,,,,,,when did ANY PR in the last several months move the price up? Yep, ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The PRs were NEVER better than the DILUTION and the same will be true in the future!!!
Tadaaaa.....it's not retail selling that is or will be problem. With the anemic buying NOW, what do you think happens when there is the Reverse and DILUTION DILUTION DILUTION occurs???? HUH???? Let me give you a clue.....it will be the same that has happened the last several months but faster!!! DOWN DOWN DOWN
LYING TOM is EX broker and politician!! What do you expect!!?? LOL In fact, he has the perfect background for frauds and scams and misleading!!! Time to send emails to sis and local papers and make that POS sweat!!!
TOM HAS BEEN LYING SINCE DAY ONE!!!!!

http://assembly.state.ny.us/mem/?ad=122&sh=con
SWVC chart looks better if you're standing on your head!!! It is more than obvious that DILUTION DILUTION DILUTION is what has driven the price down, even as we acquire overpriced company after company. So why is it that some here think that more of the same will cause the pps to go up?
Oh and why is it that not ONE person here can answer WHY LYING TOM or any Directors do NOT own any common shares? Guess they know which way this POS is going, huh?
LOL bbb, that is LYING TOM at his BEST!!!! He said he will pursue the maximum amount owed SWVC. As the lawsuit states, that is ZERO!!!! It is Tom who will get anything and I'm willing to bet he keeps it, huh? The fact is Tom has built SWVC off the backs of shareholders with ZERO if his own money. Why would he change that now? HUH??? It is just another LYING TOM tactic to try and get new suckers on board!!!
Chunky, LYING TOM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR PPS!!!! Shareholders are owners and it is our right to demand higher value in ourr shares. It is insulting for you or anyone else to suggest the shareholder is responsible for the pps!!! Why doesn't LYING TOM or any DIRECTORS own any common shares? Can you answer that instead of telling me I'm to blame for this POS!!??
Oh, here's just a sample of what LYING TOM has done to us:
