Stock manipulation comes early today....
I thought they wouldn't manipulate the stock back up until about 1:30PM. Jumped the gun today Newelong, Techy2010 and digger22. 1:30PM is your usual manipulation hour. Jeez.
I love it.
You challenge people to find middle level people who've left, you are proven wrong repeatedly and can only respond: "What does it matter anyway?"
Your average turnover is a year, that's terrible.
I won't find anyone named Newelong? Of course, you are posting from a fake alias, since you could be a plant for a time. We've already proved this. #oldnews
I'm sure I won't find a an employee named "digger22" or "techy2010", but we know they are ADTM plants also.
And when it comes to the administration staying on, I would too if the second biggest overall expense is Administrative Expenses. You're execs are funneling money out of the company, having them be the second largest cost behind stock compensation expense. It seems like the direct cost of operations is the cheapest thing ADTM currently does.
lol. it's called stock manipulation by those who control a majority of the stock. Good luck selling yours for that.
Actually, good catch.
Maybe he was there for about 7 months -- I'm basing this off the gap of time in his work history -- but he seems too embarrassed to mention that he was ever part of ADTM.
Not exactly strange, since plenty of ex-employees of AdaptiveMedia and OneScreen seem to forget they had ever worked there.
So maybe he did, but it only proves a point I made a couple weeks back.
Kudos for correction
Either way, since you are at ADTM, why be confused by a Press Release you might have wrote? You could just say how long he was there instead of pretending and wasting time.
Proof for Newelong:
If you want proof of Newelong's best fibs and lies just resort to his posts before mid January 2014, when he tries at times to claim he is a simple stock holder with only theories on what can be going on, guessing how much cash they might have, especially with the OneScreen/ADTM merge.
But, let me get to some proof for him on the middle level people. Now, Newelong, I chose these names only because you used each of these people as proof of the validity of ADTM, saying why would they come on if the company was a SCAM or how great they are going to be for the company. So let's see who you were excited about...
Kristen Barr - You were so excited about her... she left after 7 months.
Meghan O'Holleran - You did a big announcement for her. She lasted 1 year, 4 months.
Christian Liquigan - Big addition! Lasted 9 months.
You pushed the prospect of Daryl McNutt. He never joined.
Jason Foreman - A OneScreen regular you were glad to have come over to ADTM... only lasted 1 year, 5 months.
Justin Middleton - Another big update from you, he lasted 1 year, 4 months.
Kevin Yamano - You were "enthusiastic" about this guy. He lasted 1 year, 1 month.
Vincent Du - Another guy you were enthusiastic about. I think you screamed "so much talent!" when you mentioned him. Don't remember? I don't blame you, he only stayed on for 7 months.
In all fairness, you were really excited about Michelle Rivera, and she's going on 1 year, 2 months and is still with the company. I guess her moral code isn't as strong as the rest of those mentioned.
Let me know if you need more proof. Or just ignore this altogether.
Lol. Pretty good Newelong...
I give you credit, you are the master of spin.
You ask people on this thread questions you already know the answer to, and when they give you proof you either try to spin the proof, usually unsuccessfully, respond with a Press Release about Generic Viagra as a diversion -- an exaggeration, but close -- or pretend that the proof was never posted.
Seriously, your spin is so strong, or ignorance of proof, that people just showing up to this board without looking back at posts might think what you're saying has any relevance.
I KNOW ADMT is a scam company, and you KNOW it too. But let's keep this back and forth going.
Norman Brodeur Tries to Hide Behind Fake Account
Not that you guys need any further proof that ADTM boardmember Norman Brodeur is what some would define as a corporate criminal, but one should also be suspicious of a person who creates fake social media accounts in order to provide ruses for people attempting to find them.
Fake: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008992184118&fref=ts
Real: https://www.facebook.com/norman.brodeur.1?fref=ts
Not that the fact that it's reported that he collected social security on a dead lady or likes to fight cops was sleazy enough....
This is what's running this company.
Newelong - the definition of desperate...
When you have to start attacking people for answering your questions and making you look stupid. Just because a person proved you wrong on this board -- you lie a lot, it's going to happen -- and it wasn't the user you expected, don't get upset.
Ty Ataei, worked at ADTM, he left. Upper level position, like MANY UPPER LEVEL POSITIONS that have fleed from this company.
You list 3 employees who have no involvement in ADTM, but you explain they all work at Beanstock, which means what? Nothing.
The only thing your linkedin support suggests is that Beanstock has been involved with ADTM/OneScreen from the beginning as well. More employee sharing, like what Atul Patel accuses your company of.
Which way are stolen funds going to funnel this time? From ADTM to Beanstock or the other way?
Name one? There are so many, but let's just use the one you most recently praised....
Ex-ex-CEO sues, ex-CEO dumps, then all should dump
Now that Shareef is no longer an insider funneling cash out of the company like the rest of the boardmembers, he is doing what all should do and dump their stock.
When the two ex-CEOs of ADTM/OneScreen think the company is a scam, well, you do the math.
Anybody notice that Brodeur and his online cohorts have been silent all week?
ADTM plants digger22, techy2010, newelong are silent
Where's the ADTM team on this week's plummet. Not even manipulation can keep this stock even at this point.
No positive press releases about how the amazon is finally growing back at an accelerated rate and how great that is for ADTM? lol
One "settlement" too many, stock plummets
I guess you can only "settle" with so many of your owners and kick them out cash from investors before investors start making a run for it.
Not just taking them to court, people are racing to take them to court before ADTM just emplodes, gets "acquired" or sees the boardmembers run off with what's left.
ADTM 8K Filed Today More Lawsuits
Either AdaptiveMedias is a scam company or people just have a knack for suing them.
Heads up, more cash leaving the company. I think this puts them at $0. Why would they allow themselves to run out of cash? (think more lawsuits)

Norman Brodeur illegaly collected social security from deceased lady
Angela Daly
That's what the PI report says. If someone wants to run an online background check, you can see if it pops.
I know newelong was asking cause he forgets, so I'll post this often to ensure you don't forget.
digger22, techy2010, newelong = ADTM Plants
Good to sell all the AdaptiveMedia plants showing up here today. Newelong, you are no longer a plant, but were definitely one. Now your just the rep for the company.
digger22, do you have to turn your head right or left to see techy2010? techy2010, which direction for newelong? lol
By the way, have you guys discussed with your attorneys how it is a federal crime to mislead investors by, case in point, pretending you have no involvement in a company you actually run in order to control the conversations taking place between investors on a forum with an anonymous username?
Might want to spend this weekend deleting old posts.
Qayed Shareef was released on a $2 million bond.
Been out for just short of a week.
Forgot to mention the ADTM employee working under OneScreen at same time?
Loving Newelong LinkedIn post....
For so many reasons....
1. I point out a number of OneScreen employees who either fail to acknowledge they ever worked with the company or who acknowledge that they worked at Adaptive at the same time they worked at OneScreen; something ADTM denies. You said LinkedIn profiles have no ground, but use one as a sort of Press Release. Nice.
2. Ty Ataei has silently departed the company this month. That is big news! Another high level position exiting out of the company. He oversaw the acquisition of OneScreen assets, which caused a temporary rise in evaluation of ADTM. It makes sense. When you don't pay clients revenues owed, your own earnings definitely come across inflated. Hence why the first numbers reported by ADTM (upon OneScreen absorption) have yet to be matched ever again. Good to know Ty Ataei is proud of his involvement in that "acquisition." His 5x revenue growth was from revenues coming from unpaid OneScreen clients. Hardly an achievement.
3. Michelle Rivera, the current Marketing Manager at AdaptiveMedia gave him a good review? Whoopdeedoo. What is good to know is that Michelle Rivera claims she worked at AdaptiveMedias (ADTM) from October 2012 until now. Wait, but wasn't it this same Michelle Rivera who wrote this article:
"IS BIG MEDIA COMING AROUND TO OTT?"
By Michelle Rivera, Marketing Coordinator at OneScreen
Somebody call Atul Patel's attorneys. Newelong just accidentally provided more proof that, like Patel claims, OneScreen and ADTM employees were one in the same long before acquisition.
Great post!
Norman Brodeur did name himself board member later on.
Guess taking $16,000/mo as a kickback just looked too suspicious without some sort of title.
Don't forget William Nichols & Associates...
Were the ones that reported what a great buy ADTM would be. No insider conflict there, right?
Oh wait, Norman Brodeur, one of the largest stockholders of ADTM and CEO of OneScreen is the owner of William Nichols & Associates? That doesn't look good.
Wait, WNA Technologies (William Nichols & Associates Technologies) is a direct stockholder of ADTM.
Feels sleazy. But what about this company doesn't.
And another article that has nothing to do with ADTM.
Saying AOL and Verizon, who recently acquired their video library, has figured out how to make money on advertising means nothing in regards to ADTM.
It's like saying the upcoming El Nino means nothing but profits for ADTM. Actually, you should post a press release about that, it would be more interesting and might somehow better relate to how ADTM is burning money.
ADTM Pays Templeton a cash fee
newelong claims no cash to Templeton
ATDM disagreeing with own SEC filing
When you become desperate to find a company sued more than ADTM...
It becomes comical. But you accepted the challenge with grace and found a class action. Well done.
I have a degree in accounting with qualifications to take CPA exam.
But yes, accounting is WAY out of my league.
I haven't avoided answering anything. I've responded to your comments.
I understand that these same investors are the ones taking all the money out of the company also. So agree with you, Mr. Batsmanian has little risk when he can just funnel cash out of the company back to himself. Makes total sense why all your investors are the same people, and these same people cost the company more than the direct operating costs.
Just going to your own balance sheet. $970K cost or revenue. I'm guessing most of this is the cost of bot traffic? Not converting like it used to, eh?
While your lawsuits supposedly have no merit, you have legal fees of $353K. I think (real, aka outside) investors would find that problematic.
Cost of revenue is $970K, but Administrative Expenses and Stock Compensation combine for over $5.6m?
Seriously? When your board of directors are paid more than the company has figured out how to earn, you can only think "scam"
But sure, future is looking great.
And everything else I responded to. Yes, Jim Waltz is not as, what's the word, felony-heavy as Norman Brodeur and James Batsmasian are. And it looks like he hasn't collected on any deceased person's social security, so that's a bonus.
Alright, good response. A class action is a big one, and definitely can contain many clients.
But I count that as one lawsuit. lol. You have to find me a company that has over a dozen individual lawsuits that took place in less than 12 months. Or I maintain you (aka ADTM) as record holder
Now there's a response. (seriously, a response actually directed at the accusations)
Everything sounds good, though I do believe the record states -- I'm basing this entirely off two unfulfilled settlement agreements that you are currently being sued for -- that ADTM has a bad reputation of paying off people in installments.
And what lawsuit were you guys settling with Templeton? I can't find any filing to settle.
Mr. Batsmanian, the felon? I'm sure he doesn't worry about his reputation.
Waltz is a good question, I grant you.
1:18 stock bounce back. Somebody owes me $5!
So had a bet with a viewer of this thread that between 1:18 and 1:20 the stock will have a strange recovery. Right on queue. For tomorrow you guys should really try not doing it at exactly the same time. Mix it up, make the stock sale feel more "natural".
Then why is Gregg Templeton having the entire "personal cost" under a business expense:
Stock compensation expense 3,941,118
You guys just buying the stock for him then? Of course, I'm assuming that number got so large (in a single quarter) because of him. Who else got kicked out bonuses from this expense?
And, he took a $500K cash settlement. Let's not forget, but you guys haven't even figured out a way to net $500K from direct operations yet; you know, save for funds stolen from unpaid OneScreen liabilities. There you did pretty good. Illegal, but good. So the cash figure is large considering. If it was stock only you may have a case, but having him look excited about future options to buy stock in a company that has no chance of existing in 5 years is just sad. And I don't care how good Google does with their ads, you guys are doing terrible; at least, according to your very own balance sheet.
While I would congratulate you for miraculously getting more funding for ADTM, it's always the same few conspirators doing all the funding.
This would be the fourth time swapping entities to run from people they've ripped off. Let's keep track
Supafli became VidShadow, VidShadow became OneScreen, OneScreen became AdaptiveMedias or ADTM, and now AdaptiveMedias looks to be desperately seeking an out.
New lawsuit today, btw.
Can anybody think of another business that has more lawsuits than months in operation? I think ADTM should call Guinness.
techy2010 = ADTM plant.
I know they needed a new plant when newelong could no longer be one, so your posts are pointless.
Having this stuff revealed is scary, I get it. Why don't you try to defend the points instead.
And... close, but not exactly. ;)
Just to go back. The fact that Atul Patel's claim, that ADTM says is not true, is true is not relevant?
The fact that ADTM and OneScreen shared offices long before acquisition is not relevant?
The fact that OneScreen, Inc. claims it cannot pay it's liabilities and AdaptiveMedias claims shouldn't be liable -- remember, they are the exact same company -- but OneScreen, Inc. is still an acting company under ADTM and currently holds 1M shares, making the entity still worth $1.76M; not that you can actually sell the stock for that, unless the owners are selling to one another like they did today.
Again, big things coming.
*btw, I was surprised it took you so long to come back on. Knew it would take some damaging evidence, thanks for support my posts.
Lol. And then a quick sale to bring the stock back to day starting. You can't tell me this stock isn't being gamed.
Legal Proceedings Against ADTM, AdaptiveMedias, OneScreen, Norman Brodeur
Sadly, this entity is being sued by so many people I can't cover them all. "Breach of Contract" seems to be a common complaint, and at least 3 have reported Fraudulent Conveyance (a federal crime upheld in California).
Let's start with AdOn Lawsuit
AdOn claims you guys ran a tab with them, did not pay, signed a settlement agreement, did not pay and push assets over to ADTM.
ADTM claims that the case has no merit. When a signed Settlement Agreement is available, let's assume the case has plenty of merit. Oh, and let's not forget that OneScreen, Inc -- now operating as ADTM -- offered clients the ability to use their credit line with AdOn to push what is now considered the cheapest, most fraudulent traffic to their ad portals. OneScreen would then take out the expense from earnings, which they were supposed to use to pay AdOn. This offer was pitched to their bigger clients, and the bigger clients jumped on and ran up that tab that AdOn is now complaining about. in short, the case has merit.
Atul Patel Lawsuit
While ADTM has no problem "settling" with their own and doing multi-million dollar payouts, which we might as well call "bonuses", they claim that Atul Patel's case has no merit. In his filing, Atul Patel reports that OneScreen and AdaptiveMedias are so much the same company, that they shared office space and employees. ADTM says these claims have no merit. Except...
If you attempted to call OneScreen, Inc at their listed Hyland Ave office, there would be no answer. While assuming the number is fake or nobody there is a mistake, actually visiting the office proves Atul Patel's point. Not only did the office off Hyland Ave lack a phone, it lacked people, or furniture. It was just an empty space. Where are the OneScreen employees? At the ADTM offices? Makes sense.
Or, what about Lubna Baker, who was listed as an Accountant for AdaptiveMedias from August 2012-March 2015. If Lubna Baker was an employee for AdaptiveMedias, why did her email signature have this?
You're right...
Since you are ADTM and the lawsuits and responses are from ADTM, I say "you" meaning ADTM.
Your a high up, if not the highest, which makes saying "you" instead of "ADTM" a subconscious decision.
But let's get to the legal....
What's the point of that link? A shady business guy sued another shady business? That's a fair point. But does not override the breach.
Oh no, Brodeur had identity fraud?! Then he must be pure as the driven snow.
Why don't you post a press release of how some lab in China found a cure for diabetes and explain how that's great for ADTM earnings.
Atul Patel lawsuit question for Newelong.
Atul Patel claims that not only was there complete Fraudulent Conveyance with OneScreen/AdaptiveMedias, but that the companies are truly one and the same.
AdaptiveMedias says his claims have no ground and no employee or office sharing ever took place.
This would definitely look pretty bad, and you stick to the point that there were absolutely no shared employees or office space with AdaptiveMedias and OneScreen before the acquisition or even the announcement of the acquisition?
Sticking to that point? Or will concede that Atul Patel's claims against the company are true?
