Are you kidding to ask such a question? 480k shares cost $3k - this are peanuts ! Any gambler , moneymaker etc. can move this stock 5-10% by trades with $1000
! So, my goodness, who shall move this stock but penny trader who buy today for 3000 and sell tommorrow for 3500. But I should get out of here as this is not a 'stock' to waste time with - it is a criminal game of Duffield boys and a playground for low style gamble
My words since 3 years: "SEC Charges Biotechnology Company, and CEO with IIIegal Sales of Stock and a Misleading Public Company Filing
Litigation Release No. 24232 / August 10, 2018
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Roger Duffield and Plandai Biotechnology, Inc., No. 18-CV-6984 (S.D.N.Y. filed August 2, 2018)
On August 2, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Plandai Biotechnology, Inc., a penny stock company, and its Chairman and CEO with making illegal, unregistered sales of stock to unaccredited investors and with failing to adequately disclose that proceeds from sales of Plandai stock were sent to a private company owned by the CEO.
According to the SEC's complaint, filed in federal district court for the Southern District of New York, from November 2013 through January 2015, Plandai, acting through Roger Duffield, made unregistered offers and sales of Plandai common stock to at least two unaccredited and unsophisticated investors. In addition, although the shares in question had been newly issued and sold directly to the investors by Plandai, Duffield allegedly instructed the investors to wire their payments to a private company that he owned and controlled. Plandai's annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, misleadingly stated that Plandai had received cash in exchange for the shares, and did not disclose that the proceeds from the sale were actually sent to Duffield's private company. Although Duffield, through his private company, ultimately paid various Plandai business expenses in amounts approximating the payments that had been received from the investors, Plandai did not accurately and fairly record these transactions in its books and records. Plandai's failure to properly record these transactions allegedly resulted from its lack of a sufficient system of internal accounting controls.
The SEC's complaint charges Plandai and Duffield with violating the registration provisions of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933. The complaint also charges Plandai with violating, and Duffield aiding and abetting violations of, the reporting, books and records, and internal accounting controls provisions of and Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and (B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1 thereunder. The SEC seeks permanent injunctions and financial penalties against both defendants.
The SEC's investigation was conducted by Drew M. Dorman, Jason Litow, and Kevin Gershfeld. The case was supervised by Yuri B. Zelinsky and Antonia Chion. The SEC's litigation will be led by John Bowers and Paul Kisslinger and supervised by Cheryl Crumpton. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority."
So, where - AGAIN - are all those who told this board we are idiots and PLPL/ Duffield/ TXTM are a wonderful game, investments or whatever? PLPL is a criminal stock and Duffields are criminal pennystock leaders.....as well as those paid promoters
DANGEROUS DEALS: A special report - Penny Stock Fraud Is Billion-Dollar Game
The following article is based on reporting by David Barboza, Leslie Eaton and Diana B. Henriques and was written by Ms. Eaton.
Most Americans may not know it, but there are really two Wall Streets.
One is the Wall Street of the New York Stock Exchange closing bell, of brash stockbrokers and hair-trigger traders, of big deals and big fortunes, of Microsoft and mutual funds.
But in the crooked alleys of Lower Manhattan flourishes another Wall Street. This is a world of low-priced stocks and high-priced dreams, of grimy offices and sham companies, of swindlers and touts who prey on average people trying to grab the brass ring in the greatest bull market in American history.
Like the world of organized crime, with which it increasingly overlaps, it is a violent place full of colorful characters and arcane lingo, of ''naked shorts'' and ''pump 'n' dumps.'' And it specializes in creating illusions that are as complex as a Broadway play -- and as simple as a game of three-card monte.
It was in this world that Albert Alain Chalem and Maier Lehmann lived -- and died. The men, who were promoting stocks over the Internet together, were both shot in the head on Oct. 25 and left to die on the marble floor in the $1.1 million home in Colts Neck, N.J., where Mr. Chalem lived.
Their world might seem arcane -- except that its denizens bilk Americans out of roughly $2 billion a year, securities regulators say. The problem is so severe that regulators and prosecutors have made it one of their chief goals to crack down on what they used to dismiss as ''penny-stock fraud,'' before it became clear that the money involved amounted to many billions of pennies.
''A sustained, prolonged bull market really does bring out the crustaceans from the bottom of the sea,'' said Richard H. Walker, director of enforcement for the Securities and Exchange Commission. ''They're attracted to the money.''
While the enforcement effort has closed down many of the big brokerage operations that pushed shady stocks over the telephone, Mr. Walker said, many people who were kicked out of the securities business have moved their schemes into cyberspace. ''That's where the action is now,'' he said.
And that is where Mr. Chalem and Mr. Lehmann were before they were killed. In addition to running a Web site, Mr. Chalem was trading stocks electronically, and may have had an account under an assumed name at a Manhattan firm called Harbor Securities. Investigators are examining whether he traded there, and if it was linked to his death. [Page B6.]
From the very first, investigators have suspected that the slayings somehow involved the two men's financial dealings, rather than their personal lives. And, although the investigation remains in its early stages, law enforcement officials have clearly not changed their minds.
On the surface, Mr. Lehmann, 37, seems to have had the more troubled work history. He had pleaded guilty to mail fraud in an insurance scheme and settled civil securities-fraud charges. Before his death he told Barron's magazine that he had secretly worked at Patterson, Travis Inc., a small brokerage firm with a history of regulatory troubles; company officials said yesterday that they had no record of his having worked there.
In fact, Mr. Lehmann was more than willing to talk. He told reporters, regulators, prosecutors and, apparently, anyone who would listen about what he said were various schemes and swindles.
But it was Mr. Chalem, 41, who cast the longer shadow in the world of shady stocks, and it is Mr. Chalem who is increasingly the focus of investigators. He had worked at a brokerage firm, A. S. Goldmen & Company, that prosecutors contend was a criminal enterprise -- a charge that the firm denies. He also worked secretly at a firm called Toluca Pacific Securities, according to several people who knew him. Toluca, which is defunct, had a long history of regulatory run-ins and had links to career felons and to organized crime.
Mobsters have increasingly turned up in stock swindles. In January, two men whom prosecutors said were tied to the Bonanno and Genovese crime families pleaded guilty to federal charges that they participated in a conspiracy to manipulate the stock of an Arizona company that owns a health club; the president of the company was convicted of related charges in May in Federal District Court in Manhattan.
In June, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn indicted a group they said included members of the Colombo crime family and an associate of the Bor organized crime group of Russian immigrants.
The men, who prosecutors said ran rogue brokerage firms that manipulated stock prices, were charged with conspiracy, securities fraud and money laundering; they pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Chalem was widely believed, in the penny stock world, to have dealings with Russian organized crime and to be ''a protected guy,'' as one lawyer put it.
New information is coming to light about his activities in the weeks before his death. Last week, federal prosecutors served subpoenas to retrieve trading records, which may be linked to Mr. Chalem, from Harbor Securities, which catered to self-employed day traders. Heavy financial losses recently forced the firm to close.
Whether Mr. Chalem's trading had anything to do with his death remains unclear. What is clear is that he and Mr. Lehmann were more accustomed to being predators than to being prey in the dangerous world they inhabited.
The Performance
Everything Fake Except the Money
Their alternative Wall Street is not a big place; its players, who all seem to know each other, cluster in just a few spots: San Diego and La Jolla in Southern California, Boca Raton, Fla., Vancouver and New York, the ground zero of stock fraud.
To be successful, stock frauds must look a lot like legitimate deals. But in reality, they are elaborately choreographed performances, in which everything is fake except the money the audience will lose when the play is over.
Fraudulent companies issue fraudulent press releases touting fraudulent products; fake newsletters make fake recommendations about fake stocks; phantom investors make phantom trades to push up the price of these phantom stocks. A small claque in the audience may be tossing tomatoes, but these skeptics -- known as short-sellers -- can often be bought off by the show's producers.
Between them, Mr. Chalem and Mr. Lehmann seem to have played every possible role in such productions. Behind-the-scenes operators, they did business over cellular phones and computers, from so-called boiler rooms full of phones and fast-talking salesmen, and most recently, on the Internet.
To understand how thousands of Americans get taken in by these shows, it helps to know a little bit about the legitimate side of Wall Street -- and about how the real thing differs from its evil twin, as described in court documents, in interviews with regulators and prosecutors, and in discussions with people in the stock business.
In the real Wall Street, new companies that want to raise money pay investment firms a fee to sell shares of stock. In the shady Wall Street, almost none of the money raised from investors goes to the company; rather, it lines the pockets of brokers and promoters and their pals. In one case analyzed by state regulators in Alabama, a New York company raised $12.5 million from investors; $11 million of that went to insiders and brokers.
In the real Wall Street, public companies are vetted by accountants and auditors and lawyers and investment firms, all of them supervised by regulators. Companies that have stock outstanding must file quarterly financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and keep investors informed of major changes in their businesses.
In the ersatz Wall Street, companies avoid filing regulatory reports -- lying on such reports is a crime -- and communicate almost entirely by news releases, the more hyperbolic the better. (Without admitting or denying wrongdoing, one Florida executive recently settled regulatory charges over his press releases. These falsely claimed that the Moscow Ministry of Finance and Walt Disney World were negotiating to buy his company's process for turning scrap tires into oil.)
At legitimate companies, insiders, like executives and directors, must report, publicly, any time they buy or sell their own stock. People who own even 5 percent of a company must also reveal that through filings.
In the fake Wall Street, insiders use false names and dummy accounts to hide the fact that they control almost all of a company's stock that is available for trading. In one regulatory case recently filed in Federal District Court in Brooklyn, the S.E.C. contends that a group of stock promoters controlled as much as 95 percent of the tradable shares in several companies.
Though the real stock market is a complicated place, particularly in the short run, over the long haul a company's stock price rises when investors are optimistic about its future sales and profits; the stock price falls when investors worry that the company's business is in trouble.
In the false Wall Street, a stock rises like Peter Pan in the stage play, not because he is thinking merry little thoughts, but because he is attached to a wire strung from the theater's rigging. (Aptly, these manipulated stocks are called rigs.)
The stage for these stocks is usually the O.T.C. Bulletin Board, a trading network run by the National Association of Securities Dealers, which also runs Nasdaq. But unlike the real Nasdaq market, the bulletin board will trade the stock of almost any company, no matter how small, secretive or downright preposterous.
Regulators predict that more than half of the roughly 6,000 companies that were trading on the bulletin board last year will be removed by next June, under new rules that require them to file current financial statements with regulators.
The cast of characters includes the promoters, who are often stockbrokers barred from the securities business, their lawyers and public-relations advisers. The production also needs someone still in the securities business who can execute trades. Other starring roles usually belong to corporate executives, who are mostly in on the rig, though sometimes they are innocents desperate to raise money for their companies.
And then there are short-sellers, who are people who bet that share prices will fall (and make a profit when that happens). In some cases, they are doing all they can to make sure the production is a flop.
The production may call on the brokers and cold-callers to unload shares on the public, although the Internet is making such brokers increasingly unnecessary; now, investors can be persuaded to buy stock electronically. ''The Internet has put this type of fraud on steroids,'' said Cameron Funkhouser, vice president of market regulation for the National Assocation of Securities Dealers.
The Choreography
Hyped-Up Ideas, Controlled Stock
The plot of the play always begins with the company. The ideal stock-fraud company has some whiz-bang new product that will excite investors, like a self-chilling beer can, springy shoes for race horses, or a cure for baldness or for tooth decay. Also popular are gold mines in obscure locations, theme restaurants in Las Vegas and anything in cyberspace with a .com after it.
Sometimes the purported business will change in the course of the scheme; according to a ruling in a federal lawsuit, one outfit called Sky Scientific claimed at various times to be running gold mines, a financial services company and the first riverboat casino in Moscow. Occasionally the company is a small operation that has a real product, but it is just not as thrilling as the company's public relations makes out. (The vitamins do not really cure cancer; the Internet service has not really signed up every household in Peru.)
One company Mr. Lehmann was involved with, Electro-Optical Systems, claimed to be developing a computer gizmo that would read fingerprints, so that users could sign in without having to remember pesky passwords.
His original role was to hook up the would-be inventor of the product with the ''investment bankers'' who were supposedly raising money for the company, according to a decision in a lawsuit filed last year by the S.E.C. in Federal District Court in Manhattan. The inventor was not named as a defendant in the case, which is now dormant while a criminal investigation continues. Mr. Lehmann settled the regulators' charges and paid $630,000 in fines and restitution.
The key, from the con artists' point of view, is to get control of the shares of stock, which might be called Act 1. Sometimes shady brokerage firms stage ''initial public offerings,'' but a faster and cheaper method -- the one Mr. Lehmann's group used -- is to merge the company with a shell corporation, which has stock outstanding but no business.
Almost everyone involved in the scheme is paid with stock; the promoters usually control huge blocks in accounts with false names, often overseas.
They all make money by making the shares rise in price. They often do this in part by making fake trades at arbitrary prices. In the case of Electro-Optical, regulators contend that the promoters put in an order to buy shares at $7 each, far above the 20 cents for which shares had last changed hands before the promotion began.
Once the stock price has been pumped up, it is time to lure outsiders into buying the shares. Mr. Lehmann helped out with the public relations. He got an an Internet newsletter to choose Electro-Optical as its ''pick of the year''; the newsletter's owner was later sued by the S.E.C., which accused him of secretly taking stock and cash from companies in exchange for recommending their stocks; he is contesting the charges.
Mr. Lehmann also approved a press release that claimed, falsely, that Electro-Optical had just received a big order for its products. (Neither order nor products existed.) Investors, entranced with the concept and the rising stock price, began to buy the inflated stock.
After the pump comes the dump. Those in the know sell their shares to unsuspecting investors. Mr. Lehmann had received 100,000 shares, for which he paid nothing and which he put in an account in his wife's name; when he sold, he made about half a million dollars. All told, regulators say, those involved in the Electro-Optical rigging made $12 million by dumping their shares.
Once the promoters stop pumping the stock, its price usually plunges. Anyone who wants to buy Electro-Optical today can get 10 shares for a penny.
Bailing Out
Special Handling For Short Sellers
Some inventive stock promoters find a way to make money on the falling price, too, by selling short. To do this, a short seller simply borrows some shares from a brokerage house, promising to replace them later, and then sells them. If the trader has guessed right and the stock's price later falls, he can replace the borrowed shares -- a step known as ''covering'' -- by buying shares at the new, lower price.
His profit is the difference between the price at which he sold the borrowed shares and the price at which he bought the replacements. But if the share price rises, he can easily lose his entire investment.
While short selling can be a legitimate practice, it can also be abused. Mr. Chalem's friends and former business allies say he practiced a more aggressive form of short-selling, called naked shorting. Brokerage houses that deal in a particular stock can short it without borrowing the shares first. Going through those cooperative brokers, speculators like Mr. Chalem sell, and sell and sell -- thereby guaranteeing that the stock's price will plummet.
A year or two ago, Mr. Chalem's associates say, he was shorting the stock of the Quigley Corporation of Doylestown, Pa., which makes zinc lozenges that it says relieve common colds. The company blamed short-sellers for the decline in its stock, which has dropped from $23 in the fall of 1997 to about $3 today. Skeptics said the company's share price was too high and, indeed, sales of the lozenges have been falling.
But a debate over the true merits of most penny stocks is pointless; in many cases, both the promoters and the short sellers know that the stocks are rigged. Then, the question is simply who has enough power -- and money -- to prevail in what is really trench warfare.
Promoters may try to make short-sellers go away by giving them free shares that the short-sellers can use to cover and close out their positions with big profits. This has caused some prosecutors to believe that this sort of short-selling is really a kind of extortion, though that is hard to prove.
Both sides use rough tactics in their efforts to win. They try to plant stories in the press. They call regulators and prosecutors to inform on each other.
And they threaten each other with physical harm, backed up by visits from burly men. John Fiero, a prominent short seller and president of the firm Fiero Brothers in Manhattan, has repeatedly complained to the police about the threats he has received.
And that violence may ultimately be the biggest difference between the real Wall Street and the parallel universe inhabited by people like Mr. Chalem and Mr. Lehmann.
Real Wall Street takes a lot of financial risks. But the crooked Wall Street ''is not just a financially dangerous world,'' said Stephen Luparello, a senior vice president of the N.A.S.D. ''It's also a physically dangerous world.''
1. THE RIG Stock promoters buy an inactive company that has already publicly issued shares. The fraud is set up ... The broker can also start a company and stage an initial public offering based on exaggerated financial statements.
2. Those shares are transferred to whomever the promoters specify, typically those who are in on the deception. The broker may also put the shares into brokerage accounts set up in the names of others, who may not even know of their role in the scheme.
3. THE PUMP The promoters begin to trade the shares among themselves, simulating actual investment interest and artificially inflating the price. ... Then public investors are pulled in. The promoters then start to circulate exaggerated or false press releases, and use Internet sites and chat rooms to promote the stock.
4. THE DUMP Public investors who believe the hype start to buy in, and the promoters gradually unload their shares by selling to the public. Without the support of the promoters' artificial trading, public shareholders usually find no buyers if they try to sell, and the stock's price plummets. (pg. B6)

you might know the sub penny game, but you know nothing about the companies - and you might also not be interested in such knowledge as it doesn't help to daytrade. But the moment when promoter come her to promote the stock, but just gamble 0.001 per day, they start to brainwash the community about their real intentions and their zeor knowledges about the stock.
I am happy for gamblers gains AS LONG as they do not lie to longterm shareholder, newbies and people who try to find out the truth about PLPL....which is clear after 6 years anyway !
Death much faster than I predicted several times. Seems like PLPL is either off the stockmarket in 2020....OR, would be typical for pennystock crook management, reverse split in 2020 1:10 = Value of PLPL = zero and 5 payed new promoter with new aliases who try to lie on us again how great PLPL is . LOL
Remember my words. Just a very dirty gamble.
By PLPL payed promoter will also try to sell this .............this is the only reason for such announcements."Fake sells"
There is no news which could move PLPL more than just some half-pennies ....only a deal with Pfizer or even Walt Disney.....but releases of PLPL are just ridiculous nadda-releases. Plandai is just a tiny mosquitos sh!t in the history of pennystocks. Over latest when Duffield did dilute 2 billion shares ... and this will happen within two years or maybe even faster. Than PLPL will release a reverse-split 1:100 and release a cooperation with a producer of pig feed - and they will tell us they have a great deal with Iran
Yes, this will fly...like Icarus but even depper LOL ....0.04 at years end.
Wow, fake news with new content! At least not PHYTOFAKE again. Market is impressed LOL
.009? PLPL will come down 0.001 easily within 2018 - and it still will be too expensive. PLPL will end where TXTM has been and still is. Can't believe this discussion here about seriousity of this scam . LOL PLPL will be delisted one day - no doubt at all.
2.000.000.000 shares O/S and 0 revenues - after 7 years of a criminal pennyplay by the management there are no further comments neccessary.
This is the stockprice where PLPL belongs too - sub penny ! LOL !!!!
Charts never lies !
Awards can be offered by everybody - I offered an $2k- award in 1998 for the best fine artist at my region. The artist was happy and I have done something for my company That easy. This PLPL award has no value ! Let us create a 'BioTEC Future Award" and handle it to PLPL....they will publish this as well LOL
Six years of endless lies by endless repetition of the same 'news' LOL..............fortunately people are not stupid anymore and thus do not make financial gifts anymore to Duffield boys. Game over since years.
Oh, PLPL is an easy stock to understand: No revenues, no cash, no informations, no investor relation, no proper stock market listing, no contact to shareholder, no phone call replies, no email replies, no financial reports, no announcements which have not been done already since six years, etc. - I know I forgot some 'no's. So, a great investment for people who urgently need financial stigmatas.#
As I hold some hundered k of - only - free shares since six years I have reduced my stigmatas to zero and feel healthy
I notice some .... are back. Will not help, friends, a dead and stinky fish does not swim again just by meaningless chatter.
you still believe any release of PLPL ? Respect for your patience LOL
PLPL has NO plan at all...they just try this and that...but not to go revneues...no, just to make us believe how active the management is and how busy: canabis, tea, health industry, poultry...lol What comes next.... pytofare against stinking feet? I think we need pytofare against a stinky management which lies since I bought my frist PLPL share in 2012... based on the biggest lie by a pennystock management in theri investor sheet: Revenues in 2018 of $ 100 million and even more........ and they screwed the biotech lovers very well - and of course also the bank of south africa ! Ask myself how the pay back this 13 million loan until they slam the doors to all investors.
Well done - have a glass champagne by your little profit and enjoy that you are not involved in such scam anymore
"Sticky note"? The content of this realse has been published numberless times within last 6 year. It is the endless try to sell quiet dilution to new believers. As long as Plandai does neither publish end of pink listing , real revenues and income etc. NOTHING should make newbies believe that Plandai is a serious stock worth to bought. Evertyhing else ist dubious and just fills the wallets of this dubious Duffield family.
What a terrible chart! Time to get out after 35% loss, STLHF is going far under $1.
Great..... I love this continuity and trustworthy steadiness of repeated confirmation of news which are reliable always the same content year after year since 2012. One day....whenever ... this will result in something....whatever. One day....whenever ... this will result in something....whatever. The more often you repeat something over the years the more often you find new believers after you have lost other ones. Interesting business model.....should use it for my company and find out how I can get rich with it.
2.00 soon again, latest end of 2018 and in 2020 $10.......... and Duffield for president
Read the investor sheet of 2012 and take a close look to the past 6 years....and than please tell me the sense of the existence of a management which did nothing within those 6 years but telling lies to shareholder and destroy shareholder value....so fare there might have been a tiny value in 2013. PLPL did create nothing but words about Phytofare, presented some ridiculous deals and told in 2012t that PLPL will make 50 million revenues after 5 years............... and shareholder today can be pleased to notice $500.000 per year, a pink sheet situation, a dubious management which does not get on any road since more than half a decade and a stock which is gambled near at 0.01 - with a secretly kept growth of outstanding shares.
As always some gambler come here, tell us they know the complete story....and finally disappear in 2019. LOL
my posts do not make sense? Simple question: How long are you shareholder of PLPL - how many releases have you been reading and how many 'facts' have you been able to call....within last 6 years ? That is the period I am shareholder of PLPL. Buddy, YOU don't tell me anything about sense in PLPL LOL
OS 283.000.000 - Sources: https://ycharts.com/financials/PLPL/income_statement/quarterly .....and this has been the OS of March 2017 - now we have March 2018 and I am sure we are not much above 300.000.000
Intro is totally wrong. PLPL is enormouls overvalued even with $5m.
Duffield guys own TXTM and PLPL - shareholder own nothing even they hold shares. Those shares are just fake holdings to eyewash the market.The real criminal stock deals are made behind the official market !
yes, really awesome...two PR within last years LOL
Exactly!
Worth just a big laughter! Well, why should Duffields give up? There are always new penny newbies out there, and PLPL management knows this very well, don't worry!
By the way, now they have 'Mauritius' on their agenda ...... another well-known country with well-known partners and multi-millions of revenues as promises in 2012 ? LOL Such managements always play they same dirty penny stock games since decades and...hey! It works LOL
PLPL is not a sinking ship - it is a wreck since it has been formed as the character of the Duffields since they got into the stock market.
Nobody rwaly know if TXTM owns PLPL or opposite! Duffield did a foggy tanscation and the wording as well. One of the most fishy penny stories I have been in within last two decade.Hell knows what those Duffield guys are REALLY doing at those all those companies / subsidareis etc. If this would be a fine pennystock a manegemnt would not have to form such a stinky construction of a penny stock. Only if semething should sound big with nothing in it !
What for.... to discuss a 99% dead duck at his last battle? Or to repeat the fact that directors are crooks screwing shareholder? Waste of time........
Well, what do you guess might have happened with a 'news' of January 2014 about Pellicer? Not mentioned anymore since 4 years - as PLPL is not mentioned anymore - and no other news lats years have been mentioned anymore - like no revenues have been mentioned anymore?
You ask for thoughts? This stock is a criminal pennystock as the managements is ! That simple. Every annoucnement has been done to kick pennydummies into this stock - and still it is done - but still you ask for serious thoughts about an unserious pennygame?
please, people, buy this sh!t - I still have 190.000 free shares to sell to some dump believers
Highlander, as I do not find the source anymore which did show more than 500M shares, it seems obvioul OS are 263M. Well, the number might look better,but the company is garbage nevertheless. Additionly:
If one compare the financials and the OS between 2013 and 2017, no doubt PLPL is poor bu...it: They promised $25m in the first year and would be at 200 M revenues in 2018 (Investor Sheet 2012)....and look where PLPL is...at 411 k in 2017 lol....IF this is true at all !!!!
And ...........endless $ millions minus since 2013 - per year !
https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/plpl/financials
And, last but not least: dilution goes on rapidly, so 2019/2020 PLPL will have 500 M OS anyway.
I ask myself why discuss this Duffields crook stock?
However, just to reply to your question. GLTU
If people would be interest in good speculations, investments or promising start-ups and would have done a serious rechearch on PLPL - and if they would NOT be just pennygambler....they would not put one penny into this lousy story. One must either be blind, stupid or just interested in/out without stock research. PLPL is in the market since more than six years....and people still think this Duffield crooks are fine shareholder friendly characters and great biotech entrepeneurs? Poor creatures of charity, but helpless.....
cimba, BTW, I am not a full member of SH (not worth it), so I can not reply to PM. My take about PLPL is now nothing but a fragment of a compnay and that it is dead and just used by Duffield for this or that crooked thing. I also believe meanwhile that pythofare has not future at all. I have been in many big-mouth-biotech-pennystocks like PLPL within last two decades and they all ....ALL ... are off the stockmarket today. Duffield needed TXTM for a coming MJ hype, TXTM will go a bit higher one day and fall again. To separate the PLPL extract story from the former PLPL tea-bio-story, Duffield now uses TXTM to eyewash penny gambler. Those Duffields 'produce' only one single product: subsidaries............ to catch shareholder, investors, banks etc. It is nothing but a typical criminal pennystock leaded by Duffield - PLPL as well as TXTM.
Current PLPL charts is a moneymaker and pump chart to make us believe again the PLPL is nothing special - very obvious penny fraud. I should have sold the other harf of my investment also at 1.00 - I have seen too often such sh!t, now I regret that I did nit follow those crooks by selling the rest of my shares 2 years ago.
Gamble....but do not believe anything !
What do this board expect? Does nobody follow the truth about the pythofare trasnfer and start at TXTM? Good job: simply ignore the PLPL story and really believe anything did change ? A bid naive, isn't it? Maybe too many must have been suffering by TXTM longterm so they simply must really believe TXTM is getting a juwel just because some hardboiled crooks transfer the dead business and some pics of south african tea fields and a tiny factory from one dead pennystock to another dead pennystock ? OMG, I wait for the day that Duffield declares he met Santa Claus and TXTM board go nuts
At .06 I would have back my investment (410k shares) which I made 6 years ago. But as I sold half of my position years ago at approx. € 1. I have no problems with my last 190k if PLPL dies - as I am sure about. Just still following this terrible story to learn how criminal penny stock managements can be.
Pump pure: Up 9% by $400 !!!!!!!!!!
