hello everyone. no update call from mr. slaton as of tonight, but doe not matter. he said he would try to get me paid within two eeks, so i will wait until next friday to see if i hear from him. just a note - although the additional shares were promised to be issued 'immediately' i have not yet seen the transfer certificate. also a bit concerned that i do not see any posts since 10/31. maybe my login was chnaged when baglady graciously gave me premium membership? not sure, so would like to hear from someone so i can know.
best regards - gene
if i really get it. just in case, since this is a public message, jersey, the mailing address for the check (which really should be sent by FedEx, etc.) is
14291 Arches Lane
Santa Clarita CA 91387.
Jersey, because y0u have been so helpful in relaying the information from the board to him ( I understand from a friend that he never looks at it - says it's all b.s.), please make sure mr. slaton has my correct address.
I will not post again until next week if he does not call me with an update as promised (as well as the promised repayment).
gene
JMO - he "does not look at the board" because he thinks it's all b.s. (from long term shareholders)- what does that say about his creditability? I am not confident I will get anything as i have not yet even received the promised order to the stock transfer agent, which he said he'd take care of 'right away' two days ago.
gene
hello jersey,
yes, i received a call from mr.slaton this afternoon. he never apologized or said the word 'sorry'. i asked him when i could expect to be repaid and he said 'by the end of next month', to which i said i was expecting it a lot sooner. he said he would try to get it to me within two weeks. i told him just to make sure we are clear, last year you told me you would send me $23,000 plus $5,000 interest and he said 'yes, you have earned that. i will send you the $23,000 and then the $5,000 separately.' i told him this had severly crippled my business to which he said 'we've all been through some terrible times'. i then asked him about the 1,000,000 shares of additional stock he promised last december after being delinquent and he said he thought it was taken care of but would have it done 'right away'. i asked him if he had any realistic idea of when or if we would ever trade again and he said 'certainly by the end of the year'. i asked what the dealy was and the only thing i could get was that he is trying to get us on the bulletin board (no mention of amex), and then he said he had to go but would call me by end of next week with an update. so i have to wait and see if this time he'll really follow through and not break promises again. i will keep the board posted with facts and no emotion or bad posts. thank you jersey, and all for your continued efforts and support. i am quite sure i would never have heard from him without the collective efforts of all.
kindest regards,
gene
hello ski, yes my wife is still in china waiting for the visa so we write every day. thanks again for your support with this gsi situation. frankly, i wish i had never heard of the company but i cannot change the mistake i made.
today is tuesday 10/27 at 7.30pm in los angeles and no call or email from mr. slaton. but there are still three more days....
best,
gene
monday 10/26 - no call, no email (jersy, please give him my email (although i know he has it since he emailed me so many times for money that i stupidly gave him); gene @genemack.com - can i make it any easier? how about my cellphone number: it is 310-863-3056. can this guy carve out five minutes of his precious time to give me a call and resolve this?
of course there are still four more days until the end of this week; the week he "promised to resolve" the issue with me, so i guess i should be patient as he is busy with the "business" of gsi which cannot even come up with !0K to get us listed! how the hell is he planning to repay me?
i will post daily to let all know if he has contacted me in any way to resolve my loan of $28K plus the additional 1,000,000 shares he promised for being so very late in repaying me and that he promised over a year ago. i hope those shares come from his own holdings.
best to all - jersy, double, grant, true blue and ski especially for your continued support.
gene
p.s. - my wife's visa will not be approved for another six months - thank you u.s.state department.
hello grant, i am back after a safe and good trup, but have had to cancel my premium subscription (no money for it), so i can only post pubilc messages. thanks for your continued support and well wishes. i did not see the product you mentioned manily because we did not have time on my last day, but next time i go to china (in december) i will look for it. in case you want to contact me directly my email is gene@genemack.com.
i will let everyone know if i get the call. hope i do this time.
best regards to all ---- gene
ski, thanks very much for asking him. i'm sure it was not the most comfortable part of the conversation for you. i really appreciate your and everyone's effort to support and help me. i'll be flying back to u.s. tomorrow and check in when i'm back from china. unfortunately my wife has to stay here until we can get her visa. i do hope he was speaking truthfully and will call me to resolve this next week.
best, gene
hi ski, still in china and still waiting for the call promised but never received. be well......gene
ski - i know the Chinese business mentality and they are too smart to buy something with this track record. i'm sure if they did they'd put a competent ceo in place to take charge and handle the business professionally. based on all the broken and empty promises from the current ceo, my gut tells me (sadly) that we'll be writing this one off. jmo.
gene
to all - i arrived safely in china a few hours ago. had my cellphone on until boarding time but no call and no email.
jersey - how can you believe anything he tells you anymore?
thanks to everyone for your continued support, but the future of this company seems to be looking rather dim at the moment.
gene
i'll have my cellphone on until boarding time: 12.15am PST
310-863-3056 (but he already has it).
Thx Jersey -
gene
too late - has already been done!
4.20pm on 9/30. just checked both my home and cellphone - no voicemail and no record of any incoming call on either one other than people i know here. i wonder what number he dialed, if he even did. well fellas, i leave in a few hours but will keep checking the board from china. thanks for all your support.
gene
ski - and everyone - thanks for your continued support. i really appreciate it.
now i think i have finally figured it out the delay in calling me; since i first posted the issue, he found out i'm leaving for china tomorrow and hoping the plane will crash and he'll be off the hook!
gene
jersey, thanks for the help you're trying to give me. on the other hand the ceo of a company should not have a problem with pride or whatever it is that is keeping him from calling me. and i must disagree with you on the point of cash flows - i am not interetsed in getting any details except an explanation of when i will get paid - i don;t even need an apology. double knows me well enough to know it,. i think i may call one of my lawyer frineds tomorrow and see if it is possible to file a lien against the company. i do not want to hurt any of the shareholders but as i said before, if the company is actually doing business why can;t he call me and offer some kind of repayment schedule? i am not an unreasonable person, but i am tired of being used. it is a simple matter to call and tell me what he can send and when. i do not need to know any details of the company's operations. just want what is due me - long overdue. i am extremely disappointed in the man, to say the least
gene
it's 4.35pm in los angeles - no call no email. jersey, i am beginning to wonder how you can believe anything this guy tells you. what else has he told you that is untrue? any suggestions?
it's a simple phone call and arrangement to repay me - that's all. does he think i am just going to walk away? it's not going to happen. if the comapany is doing business, as you have implied in previous posts, why can't i get what i am owed?
gene
8.30pm in los angeles. no call no email.
gene
where can i find this breakout board information?
penny, i understand and promise it will not happen again. i am very hurt by the whole situation and guess i really needed to get it off my chest. it was wrong of me to do so and once again, i apologize to all.
gene
ski - you are absolutley right and i was out of line by posting that and i apologize. i didn't really mean it; i was just so staeming angry it came out. it won't happen again. thanks for your understanding.
gene
to all on the board - i want to publicly aplogize for using inappropriate language. i hope you can accept it and understand why i had to write a strong message to jersy, who i think is maybe much like me - naive and too trusting with regard to slaton. i do sincerely apologize for uasing words that shhould not have appeared on this board and i want to thank y9ou all for your understanding about it and your support as i try so hard to get what i am (way over due) owed.
gene
ski - thanks for your spport. i really mean it.
gene
i want to thank you all again, for your understanding, support and great posts. my own business is in very difficult situation now (i am a licensed. U.S. Customs Broker) and the economy has wreaked havok on the import business well beyond anyone's understanding. my business is down more that 60% from last year. i am just getting by week to week, almost, but i sure wish that mr. slaton would return the loan i made in august of 2008 - jersey i appreciate your efforts but it seems he will not even listen to you. it is 19.25 in los angeles now and no email or phone call from mr. slaton. i suppose he is just to busy "getting new business" to contact me. does anyone have an idea of what i could do? once again, many thanks for all of your support - i am sorry i acould not reply individually because there were so many.
with best regards to all,
gene
thank you jersey and double, and all you who have posted complimentary and/or sympathetic comments. i will wait and see if he calls tomorrow and let you know.
gene
hhanks for posting that double, it's the truth - no call and no email and nothing from mr. slaton. frankly, i am not surprised. gene
jersey, i may as well make this public knowlege now. as stated in my last posting i have called his cellphone and office phone many, many times and sent him numerous emails none of which he has never replied to. He asked me to help him and I sent GSI a check for $23,000 in August 2008 (is this loan on the GSI books?) and he told me i would be repaid in "30 to 60 days, probably closer to 30 days".
in december 2008, the last call he accepted from me, he told me he was working on the wire transfer to me as we spoke (which i never received) and because it was late in repaying me he promised he would give me an addtional 1,000,000 shares. so what is your idea about his? i am asking you to speak directly to him about hese issues.
i have never seen the order from him to the transfer agent, nor have i received the promised stock. what am i supposed to believe when he never answers my calls or emails. what is his problem? by the way, he also told me (when we were talking every week last year) that he wanted me to "assume a more active role in the company as a director". i am asking directly for your assistance in getting this guy to call me. i have made major sacrifices and believed in his promises, i am quite angry and upset about the situation and i am sure that any call or email to him will go unanswered. that is the reason i am reaching ou to you. with best regards - gene mack/los angeles
jersey - i have four millions shares and my family another one million. despite my many attempts to conact him by phone and email (copying sally as well), i have not heard from gil in more than eight months or more. is that fair or don't i own enough to deserve a call? maybe you can convince him to give me a call?
jersey, i must have left at least 50 voicemails and untold emails to gil over the last few months and he has neither responded to any of my calls or emails. i have copied sally engle on the emails as well, so i am not sure who can get through to find out what is going on. i was told we would be trading "for sure' by end of february - we're now almost at the end of march and still nothing. it seems like the same old story just keeps repeating itself. delay after delay after delay. why no statement from gil and why the silence?
Jersy - i have not posted on this board since the stock was delisted. i want to congratulate and thank you for your exceptional efforts to keep us informed and also your appointment to the BOD. I do hope you have enough influence to keep the information flowing to us in some way as it has been a literal drought since August 2008. Persoanlly, I used to have weekly conversations with Gil, however, he has not retuned any of my daily calls for months, with the exception of one, just before his wife passed away. I have trouble undertanding why Gil has made so many pormises, including asking me to be one of the BOD which never happened, and the promises never materialize. I have lost confindence in the company, and more particularly, Mr. Slaton, for reasons i will leave unsaid for now. That said, i do hope you will be able to force some good management skills, which are sorely lacking, by being part of the BOD. I still have a very large amount of stock and hope you will be able to be instrumental in bringing the value up beyond our cost.
Kindest regards,
never
