Every state has its own rules about what must be reported by a corporation. Colorado does have a requirement for an annual filing. You can find the annual filings for every year for DNA on the website for the Colorado Secretary of State. I could be wrong, but as I recall, there is no requirement in that filing to provide a list of corporate officers.
Therefore, all you will find is the filing that Adrian had to file in February of 2016 to change the primary corporate address. That event represents his takeover of the corporation.
Multi topic post:
1) Naming a co-packer publicly would be bad unless the co-packer themselves think it would be a good thing for the co-packer to release a PR about gaining DNA as a new client. This is highly unlikely to happen for many reasons.
If Adrian is truthful, verifiable evidence of production will come soon enough in the fork of pallets of energy drink cans inside of the new DNA headquarters. Until then, you can just wait for 2 or 3 months.
2) A person can work for Anheuser-Busch or Pepsico, or maybe even one previously and now the other, and still give Adrian advice as a mentor without it being any sort of formal connection to either of those companies.
3) JoeBriggs7: If you look at the cited co-packer's web site, you will see that in the capabilities section, they describe the range of plastic bottles they fill. There is no mention of aluminum cans. Yes, there are not many, but some energy drink do now come in plastic bottles. Look in the coolers next time you are at a convenience store and you might see some.
Seriously? Go do a bit of research on the pervasiveness of the Rule 144 legal loophole industry.
Why would a CEO pitch at the RedChip conference that production of new inventory is going to happen by April 1st (2 months from now), and then only days later, release news that it will happen in 90 days?!?!?!?
That was a fairly insignificant in the general timetable. However, it was a truly stupid mistake to set shareholder expectations if the dates were not firm.
Adrian doesn't have shares of DNAX common. He has Series F Preferred.
4 billion shares outstanding?!?!?!?
What planet have you been staying with your head in the sand?
The O/S was 6 billion before Adrian even took over the company.
Just last week, Adrian publicly announced the O/S was 12.5 billion, and he was about to sell off another 5 billion shares minimum.
Personally, I do not think that Adrian is a scam artist. I just think that he has had a learning curve to climb.
Part of that learning curve is to not get conned himself by true con artists like Costley.
Part of that learning curve is to know how to communicate effectively with greedy and impatient investors.
Part of that learning curve is to know how to focus on what is truly important right now... and how to ignore things that are still years away from execution.
Part of that learning curve is to know how to make a decision and stick with it.
Part of that learning curve is to know how to navigate the beverage industry.
You can say that Adrian should have had all of these skills before taking control of DNA Brands, Inc. However, now that we have seen him, we realize that he is pretty young. Aspiring CEOs have to gain experience somewhere. I am sure that shareholders are not pleased with the notion that Adrian is learning on their dime. However, it is what it is.
