Sure az- In the simplest terms...
The old gumper has posted outrageous lies...repeatedly.
Fry him!
I'd rather see you roasted, Aly.
az= 'Hate' is a very strong word that I can't in good conscience apply to any person. Let's just say that I believe the old gumper has gone too far. In general, my style is to post in counterpoint to irrational exhuberance and egregious hypocrisy. From my vantage, the old gumper seems to epitomize the latter.
gump- You've played your games on the boards for a long time, but as wantoberich notes, it's not long before fryday. (You're probably not familiar with the pun--an IHUB tradition whereby Matt permanently suspends egregious violators at the end of the week, usually with an entertaining flourish.)
That you're a liar is proven by your commentary about me as well as your many denials of the truth with regard to your close connections with GMXX, MAGR and Shore Gold. My posts about you are on the record at RB, but many of your own have been removed as violations.
You wrote in 1999 on SI that you had Alzheimers. I suppose from your non-response to my query about this that you do not suffer from the 'long goodbye'. If that's the case, be thankful. If not, perhaps it's time to take away your keyboard. I've seen Alzheimers up close and personal and I would sympathize. Toward the end, my father did not recognize my mother on their 58th anniversary.
Please remove the offensive material from your website, apologize profusely and be done with it. Otherwise...well look up the term 'libel per se'. Your clever phrasing does not provide safe harbour.
'zactly. Fry the old gumper!
I have one question for you, gump. Do you really suffer from Alzheimers? If you do, I'll forgive your libelous accusations provided you remove them from your website. I just lost my father to the dreaded disease and I know how completely crazy it makes its victims.
You are completely wrong about me. I have no affiliation with short-sellers or marketmakers, and I certainly have no affiliation or even contact with criminal organizations. If you're not sick, then I suggest that you simply stand down.
I'm amazed that Tirex isn't completely gone. They never proved their technology in any kind of convincing way--never were able to deliver quantities of clean crumb. Simpro was supposed to build a demonstration unit in Italy long ago, but it never has happened.
And now after it's all gone down the tubes, Threshie is whining about short-sellers and manipulation? LOLOLOL! What a joke. He need look no further than Terry Byrne and Laurus for that.
Google the phrase.
There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
I really don't want to pound on the old gumper. He's wrong about me and he's gone too far...or is that too far gone?
Read his posts as gump90 that remain on RB to get a better picture than the one he paints here. And he's left quite a trail on the message boards. He posted on RB as woapak before he posted as gump90. woapak was one of his many Stockhouse aliases:
http://www.stockhouse.com/bullboards/userview.asp?usernumber=415091
In this post, he's busted for multiple aliases (I'm not sure if it's against SH rules) by one of his opponents:
http://www.stockhouse.com/bullboards/viewmessage.asp?stat_num=5419058&all=0&t=0&archived...
He posted, and indeed still posts on SH as AuContraire. Here's a good gump/AuContraire quote that says it all:
"It is easy to lie in cyberland."
http://www.stockhouse.com/bullboards/viewmessage.asp?stat_num=6247617&all=0&t=0&archived...
He also posts on SI as AuContraire:
http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/profile.gsp?id=4074953
...and if this five-year-old post is the truth, it explains quite a bit:
From: Au Contraire Sunday, Mar 21, 1999 6:12 PM
I'm gettin' Alzheimers and doin' things twice. Sorry for taking up extra space.

Hello, I must be going, but be sure to ask the old gumper about 'Cartwheel Harriet' when he makes his entrance later.
I'm a Groucho Marxist.
I think it's better to avoid eating the hammock.
That suit is a hoot!
You can find the complaint on PACER, or in PDF format here:

Where is Catatonia anyway? Is it one of those offshore tax havens? No need to take this liberally.
Well, that's delightfully vague.
(Oops. Looks like IHUB had a RB moment. Sorry for the double post. Delete this one please, Matt.)
Well, that's delightfully vague.
Interesting how you twist the tale to suit your senile...er...'second-childhood' perspective, gump. You appeared on RB as 'woapak'--an alias you had used on Stockhouse--to pump GMXX with a number of other touts and louts. When your agenda was exposed and woapak was no longer useful, you switched to 'gump90' and continued to antagonize anyone who dared stray from the company line. When gump90 was similarly exposed (in part as a relative of a GMXX director) you switched back to woapak until your multiple alias gambit was exposed. You switched aliases again and again, violating RB's rules with impunity.
You whined to RB management as you whine to Matt here, pretending to be the innocent victim and falsely accusing others of criminal connections. And each time you whined in public, your alias was deleted. No gump, you are neither victim nor innocent.
That's a keeper...
"egregious hypocrisy"

Oh, you were serious? OK then...
The margin (credit) requirements in the US (see NASD Rule 3350) are the greater of $2.50/share or 50% of the price for stocks under $5. In Canada, (see IDA Reg. 100) the margin (credit) required is only $.50/share, so you'll have to have an account worth at least $500MM to orchestrate a retail short position of a billion shares.
It's all done with mirrors.
Let's say I have decided to sell a few billion shares short. How exactly do I do this?
Hmmmmmm. If you anagrammatize the letters with which you were so alliterate in that post, you are spelling out the word 'crabs'. No wonder your prose is so lousy lately. Get thee to a clinic. LOL!
It's a mystery eliaman, and it's been happening for quite a while now. Maybe just marketmakers keeping their hand in.
Right Tim, CDVJ's very good at promising. It's delivering that they can't seem to manage very well. LOL!
I see you've begun to awaken, sorta. What is most interesting from the perspective of an occasional visitor here is how much your posts now sound like those of Firebird as he engaged the shilly seekers of greater fools. Welcome back to reality sortagreen.
Of course if the Penny Clown had $50k, he could start to pay his fines.
By the way, you do know that there isn't much copper in pennies anymore. Specifically a US penny weighs 2.5g and is 2.5% copper so each (post-1982) penny contains 62.5 milligrams of copper. Assuming that all of the pennies are the copper-clad issue, a million pennies therefore would contain 62.5kg of copper--just about 138 pounds. The remainder of the 2.75 tons of metal is zinc.
Copper is about $1.22/lb so the copper value is only $168. Zinc is about .44/lb so the zinc value is only $2351. And this assumes spot prices for the pure metal. Scrap prices are lower.
Way too funny, Janice!
Million pennies saved, nothing earned
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- A California man who collected 1 million pennies for a bet is having a hard time cashing in on his $10,000 fortune.
Ron England has amassed 3.6 tons of copper in his garage in the Los Angeles suburb of Granada Hills after making a bet with his brother 30 years ago that he could collect 1 million pennies.
But neither the U.S. Mint, the U.S. Comptroller of Currency, coin collectors nor the local bank is interested in cashing in his stash -- at least without a charge.
"I've been working seriously for the past two weeks to get rid of these pennies," England, 60, told the Los Angeles Daily News. "It's kind of frustrating. Nobody will take them without charging me."
What's worse. England is still waiting for his brother to honor his side of the bet -- a meal in Paris.
"I don't remember making the wager. Am I still good for it? I'm not going to answer that question," Russ England told the Daily News.

LOL indeed. And of course the hypnotized never lie.
Fluff translation...
Coastal Holdings, Inc. shares
The required information has been submitted to the NASD and the approval is in process for the issuance of the shares. The shares will be delivered by August 1, 2004 for both distribution dates, April 9 and May 19, 2004. Further updates on the status of the share issuance may be obtained through the NASD.
Translation: The company and transfer agent apparently screwed up the procedures and then lied about earlier dates for the dividend distribution.
Fingerprint Technology
The Company is presently reviewing potential acquisition candidates in this field.
Translation: The company apparently lied about Digitalus.
Beral Inc.
Mr. Andrew Racz, Director of Research, is currently assisting CDVJ's subsidiary Coastal Holdings, Inc. to strengthen its capital structure and raise the required funds to finance its acquisitions.
Translation: Equity (toxic) financing and dilution is inevitable for CSJJ.
Office Address
CDVJ's office address is: 1321 Sherbrooke St. W, Suite F100, Montreal, Quebec H3G 1J4.

TLXX seems to be trading without any reference to the reverse split announced by the company.
A gas? Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's gonna be a freakin' gold mine of information.
Not really IBD, but a website sponsored by IBD which does post third-party releases.
My point is that they could and apparently did do it. The only recourse shareholders have at this point is to bring their grievance to the Chancery Court in Delaware. Will any shareholder(s) even request access to the books? I doubt it. Generally all anyone does is whine on the boards.
UnAmerican tendonitis?
Sorry mmayr, but although it's public, TLXX is apparently controlled by Mataras and Safadi by virtue of their holding a majority of voting shares. It's a Delaware corporation, and Delaware corporate law provides that such changes to the Articles of Incorporation as stock splits and authorization can be made by a vote in writing by the majority shareholders in lieu of a shareholder meeting.
Would you like chapter and verse?
§ 228. Consent of stockholders or members in lieu of meeting.
(a) Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required by this chapter to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in this State, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Concerned shareholders might avail themselves of the rights granted by this section of Title 8:
§ 220. Inspection of books and records.
(a) As used in this section:
(1) "List of stockholders" includes lists of members in a nonstock corporation.
(2) "Stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation, or a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person, and also a member of a nonstock corporation as reflected on the records of the nonstock corporation.
(3) "Subsidiary" means any entity directly or indirectly owned, in whole or in part, by the corporation of which the stockholder is a stockholder and over the affairs of which the corporation directly or indirectly exercises control, and includes, without limitation, corporations, partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, limited liability companies, statutory trusts and/or joint ventures.
(4) "Under oath" includes statements the declarant affirms to be true under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States or any state.
(b) Any stockholder, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose, and to make copies and extracts from:
(1) The corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records; and
(2) A subsidiary's books and records, to the extent that:
a. The corporation has actual possession and control of such records of such subsidiary; or
b. The corporation could obtain such records through the exercise of control over such subsidiary, provided that as of the date of the making of the demand:
1. The stockholder inspection of such books and records of the subsidiary would not constitute a breach of an agreement between the corporation or the subsidiary and a person or persons not affiliated with the corporation; and
2. The subsidiary would not have the right under the law applicable to it to deny the corporation access to such books and records upon demand by the corporation.
In every instance where the stockholder is other than a record holder of stock in a stock corporation or a member of a nonstock corporation, the demand under oath shall state the person's status as a stockholder, be accompanied by documentary evidence of beneficial ownership of the stock, and state that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be. A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in this State or at its principal place of business.
(c) If the corporation, or an officer or agent thereof, refuses to permit an inspection sought by a stockholder or attorney or other agent acting for the stockholder pursuant to subsection (b) of this section or does not reply to the demand within 5 business days after the demand has been made, the stockholder may apply to the Court of Chancery for an order to compel such inspection. The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether or not the person seeking inspection is entitled to the inspection sought. The Court may summarily order the corporation to permit the stockholder to inspect the corporation's stock ledger, an existing list of stockholders, and its other books and records, and to make copies or extracts therefrom; or the Court may order the corporation to furnish to the stockholder a list of its stockholders as of a specific date on condition that the stockholder first pay to the corporation the reasonable cost of obtaining and furnishing such list and on such other conditions as the Court deems appropriate. Where the stockholder seeks to inspect the corporation's books and records, other than its stock ledger or list of stockholders, such stockholder shall first establish that:
(1) Such stockholder is a stockholder;
(2) Such stockholder has complied with this section respecting the form and manner of making demand for inspection of such documents; and
(3) The inspection such stockholder seeks is for a proper purpose.
Where the stockholder seeks to inspect the corporation's stock ledger or list of stockholders and establishes that such stockholder is a stockholder and has complied with this section respecting the form and manner of making demand for inspection of such documents, the burden of proof shall be upon the corporation to establish that the inspection such stockholder seeks is for an improper purpose. The Court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the inspection, or award such other or further relief as the Court may deem just and proper. The Court may order books, documents and records, pertinent extracts therefrom, or duly authenticated copies thereof, to be brought within this State and kept in this State upon such terms and conditions as the order may prescribe.
(d) Any director (including a member of the governing body of a nonstock corporation) shall have the right to examine the corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to the director's position as a director. The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with the exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a director is entitled to the inspection sought. The Court may summarily order the corporation to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock ledger and the list of stockholder's and to make copies or extracts therefrom. The burden of proof shall be upon the corporation to establish that the inspection such director seeks is for an improper purpose. The Court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the inspection, or award such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper. (8 Del. C. 1953, § 220; 56 Del. Laws, c. 50; 63 Del. Laws, c. 25, § 9; 70 Del. Laws, c. 79, §§ 11, 12; 70 Del. Laws, c. 186, § 1; 71 Del. Laws, c. 339, § 39; 74 Del. Laws, c. 84, §§ 5-8.)
Yes Janice, but that only encompasses name changes, additions and deletions. The NASD Daily List is more thorough; including such actions as CUSIP changes, dividends and splits. For example, TLXX claims a new CUSIP number but it's not posted on the OTCBB daily list which is for investors, not broker/dealers. Such changes MUST be posted on the NASD DL or the brokers don't know about it. Unfortunately, they charge something like $500/month for access now.
Unfortunately, it's just OTCBB, not pinks.
No relation to Gabor ACS, I hope. )
They say there's a new CUSIP, which means that NASD must have been notified. Unfortunately, the NASD Daily List is now a pay-to-play service with an outrageous subscription rate.
In general I think that S&M are clueless, but it is a good show.
Classic penny trash! Didn't Mataras promise no R/S in correspondence with someone? I seem to recall such, but then that's a common lie anyway.
