Dude, he said the stock would have a run 10 to 20 times the current value at the time. It had a run of 30 times the value.
Um, he was right you know…
I still want to apologize to you directly…
I’m sorry for attacking and vilifying you, you were ABSOLUTELY right!
It doesn’t matter how great the company and its IPs are, it all comes down to the character of the CEO and Rik is of very low moral character.
Haha. It is
You’re right, I’ll stop being a crybaby
If he cared about his kids and family, he wouldn’t be going around screwing people left and right.
He probably was running a scam where he was going to get some of that money back to himself personally and then they scammed him.
Regardless, the company is out $250,000.
For the life of me I don’t understand why the company has to pay for his legal bills.

Some stupid company called STEMSATION international
Just this debacle alone with prompt any decent human being to resign from their position
These last couple of weeks I’ve been thinking and remembering that guy THINKINGOUTLOUD who pops ups once every six months and posts something about Rik here and I used to think he was just here to be a jerk and the more I think about it, I realized, he’s just a guy like me who’s been screwed over by Rik and shouldn’t have been villainized.
If he posts here again, I’m gonna apologize to him.
I really believe in cobra venom and the results that can come from it if researched and developed properly.
Unfortunately that technology fell into the wrong hands.
Hahahahahahah. I know it’s a funny joke, but I’ve spent a lot of time in Asia, and I know for a fact that cobra and other snake venom has been used there very successfully for centuries in homeopathic medicine.
Here in North America we don’t put a lot of stock in that type of stuff, but I truly believe in it from firsthand experience.
That’s actually what drew me to the stock in the beginning. I had no idea Rik would turn out to be this type of person.
He’s holding the investors hostage to save his own hide. Any decent human being, would look at the whole picture, see that there are a lot of investors, who stood by him for years, but we’ve reached a point where he has to return the favor, and just make the sacrifice.
He’s always had disdain for his investors, he thinks he’s gods gift to humanity, yeah, he’s Booksmart, but that’s where it ends, He thinks he’s smarter than everybody else but he’s really not and yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if the company was forced into bankruptcy and while he’s signing the bankruptcy papers, he’ll be telling everybody that the company’s in the best shape it’s ever been.
Now I know why everybody I’ve ever spoken to that knows him or has done any business with him ABSOLUTELY hates him.
The $250,000 wasn’t lent and lost by design, he had to sue the guy, they actually went to court Rik won but got no money back, he got 1,500,000 shares of a shitty company that has no volume
But to add insult to injury, we are in the expert market and that company that took the $250,000, they’re still on the OTC.
Complete nimrodery!
As far as the strike, it’s a short term thing man, it won’t be forever it’ll be a few months and everything goes back to normal Thanks for asking though.
I’m sure at some point there were shorts or others of different interests posting on here, but they don’t need to anymore.
Rik did their job for them. He destroyed the stock simply by being selfish, and uncaring of his investors and making bad decision after bad decision.
Imagine the road ahead. He will be convicted of stock manipulation that’s 100% guaranteed! So if all he has against him is that, then he still has to take us out of the expert market, and bring us back to the OTC, which will be impossible, because the OTC will not do business with a CEO that has that kind of strike against him, and then the fact that he’s still CEO of the company means nobody is going to buy the stock.
This stock will never ever go back to the penny or penny and a half that it was with Rik being involved.
Lending $250,000 to a crook when the company’s been strapped for cash for decades. What a philistine!
I agree with that
We are in the Expert market now. While the stock’s situation gets worse and worse, Rik keeps telling everybody that the company is in the best shape it’s ever been.
If you insist on keeping this ridiculous post up, at least add:
Expert market
Well, he hurt a lot of people and he doesn’t care
That’s why nobody’s after them, because they’re all tied up in court.
The company reeks from Rik’s stench and that’s why nobody comes near.
As long as he’s involved in the company, no one is going to buy the stock. Even if the CE is gone.
He is absolutely toxic!
I think the IP‘s in the right hands have a lot of value.
He is the one that has gives the company little value.
He won’t walk from this and he’s going to take us all down with him.
Less mad scientist, more selfish narcissist
Fine, he purchased stock on the open market from his personal account. Why are we footing the bill for his legal costs?
If he had any shame or decency, he would pay for his own defense and use the company’s money to stay OTC and SEC compliant.
Right now shorts are not the problem. The problem is we can’t be traded. We can’t be traded because we have a CE. The CE won’t go away until Rik resolves the issues with the SEC.
The next punch in the gut is our imminent drop to the expert market because the company can’t afford to pay for their financial filings AND lawyer bills to defend against the SEC.
The company doesn’t have enough money because Rik in all his wisdom lent $250,000 to a crook and in return, got a million and a half shares of a worthless company that has no volume.
To add insult to injury, that company is pink current listed on the OTC and any day now we get kicked down to the expert market.
Let’s stop blaming shorts and put the blame where it belongs, on Rik’s Constant bad decision making.
The crook has $250,000 cash and we have one and a half million shares of a worthless stock and he is laughing at us.
If Rik had any shame or decency, just from this alone, he would resign
I hope you’re right and I’m wrong. I would love to pick up the phone and beg Rik for forgiveness. If he’ll take my call
Make no mistake, I still believe in this company and its product and to me it’s still is a long-term investment, I never looked at it as it has to yield results now.
My only gripe now is I believe Rik is making a big mistake taking this all the way to court.
I don’t think Rik is a bad person, I don’t think he’s a scoundrel or thief, or any of these other things that detractors on the board accuse him of.
I have not switched to “the dark side”, my only grape and disagreement is that they should not go all the way to court even if it means Rik stepping down. Taking it that far could mean all of us losing EVERYTHING.
Time will tail and I hope I’m wrong.
And here’s the second part of his post, Rick’s response to him
https://stocktwits.com/fireman139/message/535560704;
Oh, please! Since when in all these six years have I been known to make stuff up?
I will post the screenshot of the stock twits post when I get on the computer. IHUB does not allow or at least I don’t know how to load a screenshot or photo from my phone. I can only do it from the laptop when I get home. And I will.
But basically one of the users on Stocktwits posted an email response he got back from Rik.
Here is a copy and paste of the link to that post.

True, but similarly anybody who says that the SEC is going to lose, is also BS, because it is an absolute guarantee that they are getting a win on the point of stock manipulation
And just that one point alone, is a win. They don’t need all the others.
Yeah, so instead of going to court and allowing them to get everything they want, give them half of what they want now, and save the company.
The notion of the SEC losing is absolutely ridiculous when we know for a fact that Rik already admitted to stock manipulation. Does anybody really expect the jury to say “no you didn’t! We find you innocent! Despite your admission!“
If the SEC gets no conviction, but that one, then they won! They don’t need to get all the other ones.
Exactly!
I think this should be taken down. It’s embarrassing at this point! Absolutely, not true, and not happening!
I hope you’re right. Let’s see what happens.
I don’t know where you’re getting this idea that the SEC is going to lose?
It’s an absolute certainty that he’s going to be convicted of stock manipulation. How do I know? He admitted to it!
He said that he did it to push back on the shorts. Now, human to human, I totally get it. It’s screwed up what the shorts were doing at the time. But nonetheless, this is a court of law, And what he did is technically illegal. It doesn’t matter that it was $10 worth. It’s still against the law.
So although the sentence may be nothing, the fact remains, he will be convicted of it. And if all he gets convicted of is that, the SEC wins.
So after that, loss to the SEC, I ask you to please tell me where do we go from there when we are in the expert market with a conviction against us. Never getting listed on any decent stock exchange, no investors going to want to invest or buy stock. Please tell me where do we go from there?
You’d think after years and years and years of bad decision making and bad decision making and bad decision making a smart guy like Rik would wake up at one point and say “Hmmm, I make bad decisions all the time, let me for once do the opposite of what my instinct tells me. You know what, I’m going to resign and let someone else take over and save my company. I still own all my shares, and nothing gets hurt, but my ego“
Bad decision after bad decision, he lends some crook $250,000 from the company’s money, that guy doesn’t pay back, now NPHC got a judgment for 1,500,000 shares of a company that has no volume.
We have absolutely no chance of liquidating that useless company’s shares and recouping that $250,000.
We sure could have used that money now couldn’t we?
Bad decision after bad decision after bad decision, including the decision to go to court.
All these bad decisions are at our expense!
That’s why Rik needs to resign immediately and hand the reins over to somebody else!
If Rik wants to go down this reckless road, the least he should do, the least he should do is pay for his own defense and use the company money to keep us current so we don’t get kicked off the OTC.
Why is he using company money When this whole lawsuit is pretty much about his behavior?
He uses company money to defend himself, and then sends us to hell to the expert market?
I hope you’re right, and I would love to apologize to Rik if I’m wrong. And I will pick up the phone and do it because I’m a big enough man to do so.
But a massive massive risk at the expense of others is being taken, when it could be resolved right now, with a small ding to Rik’s ego
Yeah, it’s absolutely horrific to be accused of something you haven’t done, but as far as stock manipulation, even if it’s a small amount, he admitted to it.
It is absolutely horrific to be accused of something you have not done, but at the same time you look at the bigger picture and you take your partners and investors well-being into consideration.
If this was a criminal case, I would agree, 100% to fight tooth and nail, but it’s not
The worst case scenario it seems here for Rik is to be banned from holding a position in a public company for five years. That does not seem so horrific when you’re saving hundreds of peoples, and hundreds of families money.
And by the way, with regards to the count of stock manipulation, Rik is 100% guaranteed to get convicted of that. He admitted to it. I know in the past you said that it was pennies, that’s true, but you’re conflating conviction with sentencing
Yes it may be a small amount, but that won’t affect conviction, it will affect sentencing.
So he will get convicted of it, but the sentencing may be absolutely nothing because it’s a small amount. But make no mistake, 100%. He will get convicted of stock manipulation! This is guaranteed! No matter what you say to me. This is just basic 101 knowledge.
Not if we go to court and lose the case.
