Someone is undermining BD by selling the shares out the back door, that is no different than you putting your money in the bank and your banker giving a big portion of your savings to his wife so she can go shopping, I believe that is called dilution. I prefer to call it stealing. Why is this happening? Because Joe controls the company. Now the question is what are you going to about it?
Thanks

My number is from a reliable source, Quoted 136 mill. We need an injunction to stop the selling of shares until a new board can be installed.

What qualifications are you seeking in a BOD member:
Woof
I thank you for asking about the process.
There is a committee in the process of establishing the criteria at the present time. Knowledge of the Oil business is a plus and one who knows business management. Knowledge of the SEC paper work would also be a plus, other things like getting along with people plus the usual. and et al.
Thanks

There is no intent nor do I have any intent to remove Ellis or Gary. We are in the process of removing any traces of JOE LANZA and his influences over BD. Nothing more, nothing less. I have posted this time and time again. I believe the confusion lies with my recommendations to have the current board members removed, with the exception of Ellis, as the remaining members are directly tied at the hip with Joe as they are his family. If Ellis can disassociate himself with Joe then we may have the man that we need. Mike and Gary need to stay in place and keep doing what they are doing as they appear to have the stockholders best interest at heart.
Thanks

Thanks tommer
I will try to do better.
Joe still has control, the TA said nothing changes withOUT Joe's OK
CHANGE to without Joe's OK.
Thanks
LGL
Thanks SCULLY.
Unknown at this time he is not answering his phone, rumor said he is in Ga.
You make me wonder why you are on this board?
What have you offered constructively to your fellow stockholders on this board that you apparently don't personally believe much of what you read???
Joe still has control, the TA said nothing changes with Joe's OK.
I am told that we are still with old TA and O/S is reported as 136 MILL. shares. That they wont let go with Joe"S OK so he keeps printing.
I hope all stockholder Now understand that all controls are still in Joe hands including the TA, Bank accounts. office , oil going to market and who writes the checks.
My hope is that Mike Ellis will stay with BD With Gary running the day to day in the office.
We are compiling a list of possible board members for a selection for a board of directors.
Woof
We are having a problem communicating would give me a call PH 702-361-6800
Thanks LGL
WOOF
I would agree with you if I was an INSIDER but I am NOT, I an one of the shareholder and the SEC encourages me and you the shareholders to take action. Now if I Owned 5 %/ 10 % or more I would have to announce my intentions.
Thanks
LGL
Woof And TOMMER
I would say that you and MAVERICK need to start a committee to slow our movement to put a new board in this company or slow this company down to a status quo and may be bring Joe back to the helm.
Please can you tell me how a new board changes the audit process???
Please tell me how a new board process stops Mike Ellis or Gary from doing their job ,Pumping, Drilling, getting the oil to market???
If your concerns is the price of the stock, a new board means a honest company with honest PR, honest accounting and straight talk also leads to higher stock price.
I would think that you would want to put BD on a solid footing and to see that the companies stock price moves up. Please understand this board will be a short term fix until a stockholders meeting can be called and we can vote for new members of the board.
Double Bottom should be a change in direction.
Yesterday we hit a double bottom and closed off the bottom look at sharp charts.com
SOSO
I agree the time is right to have a CC, I will work on that and try to set one up mid next week, maybe a test run before that. I think the main theme should be electing a new board and how to do that. and it's time to set up a committee to accomplish our objective. I will send you a PM.
Thanks

So lets say you get a judgement against Joe. What is he going to pay you with, oil. Even if the company had to liquidate its assets the creditors have first shot at any money and the assets would be sold at a discount. That means even less money. Plus this would have to be a class action suit and shareholders would be paid back according to amount of their holdings and thats after the attorney's 60%.
Keep UP the good Work. LGL

To add to what you have said. We have only a short period of time to elect our DIRECTORS before the SEC comes into shut BD down. When that happens we can kiss our investment goodbye. Let us all work together in a direction to elect new directors and clean this company up.

Thanks LGL

U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 20280 / September 13, 2007
SEC v. Terax Energy, Inc., et al., United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Dallas Division)
SEC Files Emergency Civil Action, Obtains Temporary Restraining Order and Asset Freeze Against Terax Energy, Inc., Westar Oil, Inc., and Mark Roy Anderson
On September 12, 2007, U.S. District Judge Barbara M. G. Lynn, of the Northern District of Texas, issued a temporary restraining order and asset freeze against Terax Energy Inc., Westar Oil, Inc., and Mark Roy Anderson, in an emergency civil action filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Commission's complaint alleges that Anderson, of Los Angeles, California, is orchestrating an ongoing fraudulent scheme involving the stock of Terax Energy, Inc., a Dallas, Texas based oil and gas company that trades on the OTC BB. According to the complaint, after Anderson obtained undisclosed control of Terax in April 2007, Terax issued several false and misleading press releases, and the company's stock price increased from approximately $0.30 to as much as $4.88 per share. The complaint also alleges that Anderson fraudulently raised about $1 million from about 30 investors in a private placement of common stock by Westar, a private Nevada corporation he controls, after making false claims regarding its oil and gas operations, its purported pending initial public offering, and plans to exchange Westar stock for Terax stock.
The defendants in the Commission's civil action are:
Terax Energy, Inc., a publicly held Nevada corporation, with offices in Dallas, Texas (trading symbol TEXG.OB).
Westar Oil, Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation, with offices in Beverly Hills, California.
Mark Roy Anderson, 53, of Los Angeles, California.
Linda Contreras, 26, of Los Angeles, California. While Terax's filings with the SEC report that Contreras its CEO and sole director, the Commission's complaint alleges that she is Anderson's office assistant and that Anderson controls Terax and also Westar.
The Commission's complaint also names two entities controlled by Anderson as relief defendants, The September Trust and Camden Holdings, Inc., which are also subject to the Court's asset freeze order.
Now is the TIME FOR ALL MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COMPANY (ccop)

In a typical cell radius deployment of three to ten kilometers, WiMAX Forum Certified™ systems can be expected to deliver capacity of up to 40 Mbps per channel, for fixed and portable access applications.
This is enough bandwidth to simultaneously support hundreds of businesses with T-1 speed connectivity and thousands of residences with DSL speed connectivity. Mobile network deployments are expected to provide up to 15 Mbps of capacity within a typical cell radius deployment of up to three kilometers. It is expected that WiMAX technology will be incorporated in notebook computers and PDAs by 2007, allowing for urban areas and cities to become “metro zones” for portable outdoor broadband wireless access.

With a new Board in place, BD will find New Integrity and the investors will come back, the banks will be our friends and then the locals will start to deal with us again. We will develop the trust in the areas where we do our business.
I do not believe our stockholders/investors/owners of this company have any idea of the condition of BD, which is directly attributed to Joe's lies and deceit.
At this time we are between a rock and a hard place. If we don't do something now we will be shutdown by the SEC with the cause falling squarely on Joe's back.
Now we are faced with two choices, the first is to do nothing and let the SEC takeover. They will close the doors, appoint a receiver and sell the assets to pay the creditors and the shareholders will receive nothing. Unfortunately, I have already been through this twice and each time it was a two year process.
The second choice is to take charge of this company ourselves.
How can we do that? Well simply by pulling and pooling our proxies and electing a new board of directors, it's as simple as that. Right now our heads are in the sand because we have no voice of authority for the shareholders of this company. This is not to be misconstrued as a slam to either Mike or Gary who are currently performing the day to operations. As long as the BD employees continue to do an excellent job for this company, I would like to see them stay with BD.
We have this window of opportunity to take a step forward and in the right direction. The company operations can continue during and after our process of electing new directors. Wouldn't you prefer to have the directors in place, detached from Joe of course, than have the SEC taking control and affording you nothing? I know that I would and you should too.
Please understand at this time, our board, with the exception of Lou are representative, consists of Joe Lanza's cronies and will vote as he wants and directs them to vote. Do you really think that Joe or his cronies care about us and what is best for the company and us? Certainly not. The reason that Joe posted on the board last week is because of the actions we are taking. We are finally expressing discontent with his styles of management and operations. Finally, everyone is banding together to protect each other and our investment. We realized that we can, through collective power by way of proxy take back our company.
I heard this once and it is very applicable to our current situation: ONE HAND CAN'T CLAP!

Activist shareholder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
• Interested in contributing to Wikipedia? •
Jump to: navigation, search
An activist shareholder uses an equity stake in a corporation to put public pressure on its management. The goals of activist shareholders range from financial (increase of shareholder value through changes in corporate policy, financing structure, cost cutting, etc.) to non-financial (disinvestment from particular countries, adoption of environmentally friendly policies, etc.). The attraction of shareholder activism lies in its comparative cheapness; a fairly small stake (less than 10% of outstanding shares) may be enough to launch a successful campaign. In comparison, a full takeover bid is a much more costly and difficult undertaking.
Shareholder activism has gained popularity as management compensation at publicly traded companies and the rising cash balances on corporate balance sheets have risen.
Shareholder activism can take any of several forms: proxy battles, publicity campaigns, shareholder resolutions, litigation, and negotiations with management. Daniel Loeb, head of Third Point Management, is notable for his use of sharply written letters directed towards the CEOs of his target companies.
Some of the recent activist investment funds include: Icahn Management LP, Santa Monica Partners Opportunity Fund LP and Relational Investors, LLC.
Due to the increasing popularity of the internet, smaller shareholders have also gained an outlet to voice their opinions. In 2005, small MCI Inc shareholders created an online petition to protest the MCI Inc/Verizon merger.
I though you could get some good points from this article
FROM ECGI
Shareholder Activism
Shareholder activism is the way in which shareholders can assert their power as owners of the company to influence its behaviour. Activism covers a broad spectrum of activities. Activism includes “voting with ones feet” (exit), private discussion or public communication with corporate boards and management, press campaigns, blogging and other e-ways of public “naming and shaming”, openly talking to other shareholders, putting forward shareholder resolutions, calling shareholder meetings and – ultimately - seeking to replace individual directors or the entire board.
In some cases shareholder activism is directed against other large shareholders, not against directors. Shareholder activism can be collaborative, in particular when it is conducted in private.
Shareholder activism is controversial. Proponents argue that companies with active and engaged shareholders are more likely to be successful in the long term than those that are left to do what they choose. Vigilant shareholders are said to play the role of fire alarms and their mere presence can alleviate managerial or boardroom complacency. When companies perform poorly, shareholders activists are said to play the role of fire brigades that bring about change and more quickly than would have been the case had the fire brigade been on strike.
Opponents say that "shareholder activism" is a euphemism for disruptive, uninformed, populist ranting or "take the money and run". In its extreme forms activism is said to be an extortion scheme that weakens strong companies. More fundamentally, there is disagreement about how much power shareholders should delegate to corporate boards and when direct shareholder action becomes necessary and on what terms. In some countries, organized labour is accused of using shareholder activism tactics as a capitalist tool in the class struggle.
Scientific research on shareholder activism started in the United States and has mostly focused on public activism by institutional investors in the late 1990s. The results are well documented in a number of literature surveys and not altogether encouraging: “A small number of American institutional investors … spend a trivial amount of money on overt activism efforts… Institutions achieve the effects on firm performance that one might expect from this level of effort - namely, not much.“ (Black 1998) “Most evidence indicates that shareholder activism can prompt small changes in target firms’ governance structures, but has negligible impact on share values and earnings“ (Karpoff 2001)
Shareholder activism is, of course, not confined to the United States and the latest research suggests that shareholder activism can be more successful in other parts of the world. At the same time, the nature of activism is changing, also in the United States. There is heightened interest in new activism players – like hedge funds – and new tactics they use, like derivatives dealing and stock lending.
The ECGI itself does not take a position on these matters. Rather, the purpose of the Institute is to generate research, stimulate debate and disseminate best practice. In these pages therefore, you will find links to proprietary ECGI research and other references to material on this important topic. They are continuously developed as new information becomes available.
Wolf its good to have you on board.
All though Mike may be a concern to some, I assure you Mike's removal is NOT the intent of our action. There is NO intent to stop Mike Ellis from doing his job, bring in new wells or stopping production. Now to achieve that, MONEY will be needed or new investors with money or the selling off more stock that will dilute your investment.
What I said was that he needs to separate himself from Joe. So the intent is:
To turn Black Dragon around and to remove Lanza and the stigma he causes on BD so we can establish a credit facility with the banking community. To remove the influence that Joe has had on the company and its employees, let alone the shareholders.
To put a new Board of Directors together will not bring the company to a halt. Our hope is to establish a transparent company with defined goals and a plan of action so the investors will know with certainty where BD is going.
Thank you
