An exact date has not been confirmed, but since Adrian stated in a conference call that previous management gagged the TA, I would guess it's been gagged since 2014 or 2015 when the company started to go downhill. Adrian also said that the TA was owed money and the gag couldn't be lifted until it was caught up/paid. When will it get paid/caught up, who knows.
I have attached a link to the 8/10 conference call transcript and a link to the actual interview.

To listen to the interview once the link loaded; I had to select open in browser, then open file. it then downloaded into my audio files.
Comical indeed to see who is who. DNA Brands have been dealing with so many people trying to sabotage their company for years, most of who are all connected to each other.
They may or may not change the design completely, but what probably has to be verified than updated accordingly is the labeling on the back of the cans, especially if Adrian is adjusting any of the recipes/formulas.
Any updates to the cans shouldn't take to long considering the previous cans were not bad.
Good Luck Investors

Oh, I get who is doing what and agendas. Stating facts about the company is one thing. Making up lies about the company is another.
Good Luck to the True Investors
Now why should we believe that. The same source told flat out lies stating the O/S was 500 billion and Adrian left the country.
And just to breakdown what Adrian said in the video, about Monster and Coke. Monster Energy is owned by Monster Beverage, which produces other products then just Monster Energy Drinks. So when Adrian said that Coke took over distribution of Monster from AB that wording was incorrect. We knew he was talking about the Monster Energy Drinks, but his wording made it sound like Coke took over all of the distribution of Monster Beverage product line, which is not true. Monster Beverage have other distributors other than just Coke, but the only energy drink that Coke is currently in agreement to distribute is the Monster Energy lines.
If Adrian or anyone else is trying to get that agreement changed they would have to speak to the top heads in Atlanta not just local sales Reps.
I think in the video Adrian was talking about trying to get an exclusive deal with AB to only distribute DNA Energy Drinks, and no other Energy Drinks.
He said in the video that Monster left AB for Coke, but the wording is not completely true. Coke is Monster's preferred distributor because Coke owns about 17% of Monster. Monster does have other distribution agreements, but Coca Cola have an agreement, that they will only distribute Monster Energy products, they won't distribute other energy drinks. That's why when the incident with Trenton Coca Cola happen, it set off a firestorm and Coke's legal team got involved.
As far as AB merging with SA Miller, I don't think there would be a problem with them distributing DNA Energy Drinks if Adrian can get the deal because to my knowledge neither company has an exclusive agreement that states they will only distribute certain company products (specifcally energy drinks), like Coke has with Monster. That's why you see them having distribution agreements with both Coke and Pepsi.
However, I don't see AB making an agreement with Adrian stating they would exclusively distribute only DNA Energy Drinks and no other energy drinks this early on. Adrian has to remember, DNA has to reestablish it's self as a product that will be around along time, and a product people want.
Let me clarify, if this is just a SCAM, he can dilute, reverse split, and dilute the stock over and over.
What I'm talking about is if Adrian or anyone wants to build a successful brand or company, they cannot continuously dilute or reverse split their company's stock. You will have to eventually find other funding methods.
Depending on how long Adrian keeps diluting will determine if this is a SCAM or NOT.
At some point the dilution has to stop. You can not fiance any company long term through dilution or even through stock splits. If a CEO, and not just Adrian, can't finance their company through other methods that should be a red flag to any investor that the company and/or CEO is a failure and it is just a matter of time before the company goes out of business for good.
We can speculate all day what Adrian's true intent is, but only time will tell. Even if Adrian do a product run I can't see this company being a long term success unless it is bought out by a company with bigger capital.
One person, meaning Adrian, cannot run this type of business alone. Any revenue that do come in will just go to pay all the overhead cost of getting the product produced, so he won't be able to hire additional staff at a decent wage.
This is where the reverse split comes into play that some think will happen because of the high Share Structure. If this company does get bought out, we will probably get a share of the other company's stock for so many shares of DNAX stock.
EX. If you currently have 1 million shares of DNAX, and the other company trades at $10, we may get 1 share of the other company stock for every 100,000 shares of DNAX, which will equal what we already have. In this case, a reverse split wouldn't be a bad thing, as long as the other company has true stability and their stock price have the potential to rise.
He's probably the social media and website design guy. Ever notice who is the first person to report when a change is made to the website and Twitter.
My thoughts exactly. If he is truly serious about this while relaunch, it probably needs to be advertised as a new and improved taste. Even though a lot of people liked the old DNA products, I have read reviews where some did not. If DNA Brands did not sale well in certain areas because of lack of advertising and taste quality on certain drinks, this maybe what he has to correct to compete long term with the other energy drinks out there.
It looks like they sold it's 70% stake. Per this link

Next week should be very interesting, specifically 2/16. This is more than likely the the day Adrian received the Series F preferred stock based on the document filed with the Colorado SOS on 2/18. We thought 1/31 could have been the day, because we reached 2 billion in trades, but when I went back and read the 2/18/16 document, the Series G preferred stock came into play 2/16/16, the same day Adrian was announced as the new CEO.
If there is a massive dump starting next week and the following week, with just another fluff PR, we will know what Adrian plan all along was.
Good Luck
And if they are a profitable business, why would they allow themselves to be acquired by a company that can't even afford to do a relaunch. If for some reason a company was interested in working with DNA Brands, they would just acquire them, not the other way around.
This is the type of stuff that make people have doubts about Adrian. Every time he mentions acquisitions, I think what an idiot. You tell us you can't relaunch the DNA Energy drink line without X amount of money, but somehow you think you can acquire a company that is currently bringing in revenue.
Adrian, since you or someone associated with you reads this message board, please explain in your next PR how that works.
Adrian has said and done questionable things since he became CEO of DNA Brands, Inc. Was it done intentional to mislead investors and shareholders, I don't know, but the truth always come out. What I try and tell people is don't just follow what others say or do, follow your gut and heart. We all have opinions, but only we know what is best for us and our family.
I have decided to hang on to the shares I have for now, even though I am still skeptical of this whole relaunch. However, I won't be investing any additional money into this company.
For those who have chosen to sale and move on or hold on to their shares as well, that is their choice. At the end of the day they are doing what is best for them.
Thank You, I sent the MOD's who are more likely to sticky my post a Private Message during the Happy Hour block.

Yeah, I had my sell order in for .0002, but decided to canceled it after the last PR. Yes, Adrian has been all over the map, but he still could pull this off. I'm not going to invest anymore money, so if this don't go anywhere, what I already have invested is all I'm out of. I don't want to lose that either, but we all know the pennies are a risk.
Good Luck to all invested
Your right, I don't think most would be as upset, but Adrian made some of big promises and not deliver. He knew, or at least should have known that some of the things he stated publicly could not happen for various reasons. There was know need for him to make statements that turned out to be completely false.
This stock was left for dead two years ago, so I don't think a truly reasonable person would have expected him to come in, snap his fingers, and the stock recovers immediately.
I think that's what he tried to do this week with the PR and the new video, but it didn't work. Enough people is on to him now with the fluff PR's and the double talk. The only way this will move and more people start buying again is actual production news, I don't think just naming a Co Packer will work.
Since no one can sell, we will either see a pretty good return or this will just die like most pennies.
I removed my sell order just in case Adrian pulls this off. Don't want to get caught selling at .0001 or .0002, and this thing takes off when I'm not watching.
Good Luck to the investors

DNAX could be getting ready to take off because there are to many overly bashing this stock. That's one thing if you are stating the red flags or inconsistencies, but I been following these types of boards and I know you alls patterns.
Good Luck to the true investors on this board.
It never fails. Every time this guy speaks his comments are picked apart and discrepancies are found.
Yes he did. I sent him an e-mail once, and responded back referring to himself as the Penny Stock Janitor. Maybe Cleanup Specialist is the professional term, LOL.
Yeah, when I saw that my first thought was why not get in a local store first. LOL. This guy crack me up with all these big plans.
Notice still no Q & A.

It will be interesting to hear the 2nd video and compare the two for the outdated information and inaccuracies. The problem is he is constantly changing things.
Thanks, for the update.
Adrian is setting this up for another push back.
If he wanted or needed to adjust the flavors, why wasn't this addressed in May when he received the samples???
He thought the PR yesterday was going to sale more shares, but no one is buying, so he has to come up with a story to delay the process.
I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt yesterday, but ADRIAN YOU ARE A SCAM ARTIST CON MAN.
Everyone DO NOT buy anymore shares, because he's trying to get more shares sold with these bogus PR's and Tweets
I don't think no one should buy another share of this stock until we get concrete production details, NO MORE FLUFF. Anyone who does buy now are being issued the new shares by the company (dilution), so the existing traders can't get out if they want to and no one can sell for a profit.
So tell me who's winning here???
At this point, Adrian will need to produce an actual product, not just talk about it if he wants new investors. Also the MM's need to stop blocking our sale orders. We had that 2 billion dollar day, and not one person announced they were able to sale at .0002 and apparently right now you can't even sale at .0001, because the MM's have everyone blocked, trying to dilute this stock even more than it has already been diluted.
No one is going to invest in any stock if no one can ever make a profit or can't even get out of it.
It's good that he said the can designs are being finalized, but this whole process has been going on for a year. Yes, he may have had some bumps in the road, but at the same time he was leading investors on when he acted like things were happening when they wasn't. Otherwise, most of the process should have already been done.
I don't require or ever expect to see any contracts signed by the Co Packer or anyone else. Once it is announced that a Co Packer is in placed, I will have to take Adrian at his word.
There are certain levels of confidentially that has to be respected. He may tell us the name he may not.
The funny thing is, it didn't dawn on me either that it was suppose to read recipes and not receipts until you pointed it out. LOL
Poor Adrian, I can't even talk about you on this mistake. I didn't catch it either.
All this means, is that Adrian is watching this board. I mentioned the possibility of him not owning the rights to the drink lines and that everyone do not have Twitter and Facebook, so he needs to clarify everything, by posting on the website or in an official PR.
I just want to thank Adrian for reviewing my comments and clarifying everything for me.
