shoot straight or dodge bullets..............
that's the choice
let's see if he comes through
but he had better stop trying to lawyer lawyers
it'll all end in tears if he continues imo
The protection is contractual (I would think)
.....and if it exists......
GERS Jan 08, 8K
"Because GS AgriFuels is indebted to YAGI in the amount of $20,359,631, YAGI's
consent to the short-form merger was required. YAGI gave its consent in the
Agreement, subject to the following commitments by GS CleanTech and GS
AgriFuels:
- GS AgriFuels was required to amend the Certificate of Designations for
its Series C Preferred Stock to provide that it would be convertible
at a fixed rate of 32 common shares for each share of Series C stock,
and to provide that no Series C shares may be issued while any portion
of the debt to YAGI is outstanding.
- GS AgriFuels agreed to issue 3,329,630 common shares to YAGI after the
short-form merger is completed.
- The parties agreed that no more than 36,650,630 shares of GS AgriFuels
may be issued, on a fully-diluted basis.
- GS CleanTech agreed to obtain an independent appraisal of the value of
GS AgriFuels. The debentures issued by GS AgriFuels to YAGI will then
be modified to provide that the interest and principal are convertible
by YAGI into GS AgriFuels common stock at a price equal to the lesser
of (a) $0.255 or (b) 80% of the appraised value.
- GS AgriFuels agreed to pay to YAGI, on account of its debentures, 10%
of its cash receipts and 50% of free cash flows after regular debt
service."
Now, the timing re DEC 07 departure is ironic, no?
KK says "No promises on the C preferreds Tom, part of the deal with YAGI you see, oops - you're fired."
And we only hear about this now? If he was fired, wouldn't he have sought to negotiate in severance and fought back when KK said no dice?
But why now? Doesn't add up.
By the way, unless the motion of TS as plaintiff was filed under seal (and so wouldn't appear) it also isn't showing up (for me) on the NY registry of open civil cases Supreme Court, Statewide. Could you find the listing? Anyone else?

Rule 10b-21 Short Selling Anti-Fraud Rule
The Commission adopted Rule 10b-21, which expressly targets fraudulent short selling transactions. The new rule covers short sellers who deceive broker-dealers or any other market participants. Specifically, the new rule makes clear that those who lie about their intention or ability to deliver securities in time for settlement are violating the law when they fail to deliver. This rule also becomes effective at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday.
Very relevant to SWVC imo
pardon my ignorance..........................................
the termination for cause was (apparently) December 07
from the GERS Skunkblog re TS and the pursuit of his 30% of GS Agri (re SWVC)
First, this is what I think: It seems that Thomas Scozzafava (TS) was the Vice President of Acquisitions and Investments for Greenshift Corp 2005 to Dec 2006. He received almost 400K shares of GS Agrifuels for this trouble. He next was the CEO of GS Agrifuels from December of 2006 to Dec 2007. During these times they picked up Next Gen Fuels, Sustainable Systems, the Zero Point Investment and the Corn Oil Extraction Systems***(see below). This is basically the majority of the stuff that gives value or short term potential to our present company. He claims to be a significant shareholder (30%) of GS AgriFuels Corporation. This is the part I do not yet understand. In June of '07 TS was supposed to get 378,653 series "C" preferred stock of GS Agrifuels. He could not get them since even the promise to get them was a breach of the debt agreement with YAGI. This was explained in the 10 Jan '08 document. TS left the company in mid December 2007. The company was then taken private and 50cents/share were paid out to the minority shareholders in early 2008. From what I understand the shares are held privately as collateral by the YAGI debt agreement. GERS and friends cannot buy, sell or give them away until that debt goes away. So these disputed series "C" shares appear to be the basis for the TS claim. He did borrow $250,000 to the company, but I hope that no one thinks that equates to 30% of GS Agrifuels. On December 28, 2006, GS AgriFuels issued to Seaway Valley Fund, LLC aconvertible debenture due December 28, 2008 with a face amount of $250,000 formonies received in January 2007 by GS AgriFuels from Seaway Valley in the amountof $250,000. This debenture and the accompanying accrued interest in the amountof $7,726 were paid in full during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. I would have hoped some sort of signed severance settlement had taken place when TS left to clear all this up. Any insight by a reader would be appreciated.
It is hard to prove the merits (or fallacy) of his claim. Here are some of my questions:
1. Why is the claim being made now? Is he claiming that GS Agrifuels is being taken public due to GERS default to YAGI? Or is he claiming that the entire Debt to YAGI has been paid? Those, I assume are the only two reasons for the private stock to be freed up.
2. Is he stirring the pot trying to entice investors to pick up his SWVC stock that is lingering sub-Penny? OR is he trying to stir up a cash settlement from GERS - threatening a legal battle over old claims? OR are his claims somehow legit and he is bringing it public to try and force the issue? I am not implying anything here, just looking for possible answers to my questions.
Second, here is the fact/time-line the Skunk found:
**TIMELINE of GS Agrifuels Investments:
From 2005 to about Dec 26, 2006, Mr. Scozzafava was employed by GreenShift Corporation as Vice President of Acquisitions and Investments. GS AgriFuels issued 399,792 shares of common stock to Mr.Scozzafava in compensation for those services. Here is the detail of his employment:
On July 6, 2007, GS AgriFuels signed an Employment Agreement with Tom Scozzafava with an effective date of January 1, 2007. Under the terms of this agreement,Tom Scozzafava has been employed by GS AgriFuels as its President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement is for a term of five years and shall be automatically renewed for additional one-year terms until either party gives at least a sixty date written notice of termination. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Scozzafava shall be paid an annual salary of $150,000 and will be eligible to fully participate in all benefit plans maintained by GS AgriFuels. The salary will increase to $250,000 per year if GS AgriFuels completes an equity financing for $25,000,000 at a per share valuation of $3.00 or greater. In connection with the execution of the Employment Agreement, GreenShift Corporation assigned to Mr. Scozzafava 378,653 shares of GS AgriFuels' Series CPreferred Stock. The Company accrued $54,526 in consulting fees related to this transfer of shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Mr. Scozzafava received $104,531 as compensation for past services.
January 20, 2006 Kevin Kreisler first signs as CEO for Hugo International Telecom, Inc.
On May 18, 2006, Soon to be "GS Agrifuels" 1:1000 reverse stock split became effective.
On June 7, 2006, the Company acquired Mean Green BioFuels, Inc., a newly formed company, from GreenShift Corporation.
On July 27, 2006, the Company changed the name from Hugo International Telecom, Inc. to GS AgriFuels Corporation.
In August 2006, GS AgriFuels acquired an approximate 10% interest in ZeroPointClean Tech, Inc.
On October 31, 2006, GS AgriFuels purchased 100% of the outstanding capital stock of NextGen Fuel.
On December 21, 2006 the Board of Directors of GS AgriFuels appointed Tom Scozzafava to the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr.Scozzafava accepted the positions on December 26, 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned 13% of Sustainable System, Inc.
As of December 31, 2006, GS AgriFuels had no employees, but Thomas Scozzafava and Kevin Kreisler served on an "at will" basis as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. It is anticipated that in 2007 Mr. Scozzafava shall become a full-time employee of the Company. Thomas Scozzafava (TS) was the CEO of GS Agrifuels for about one year? - from Dec 2006 till Dec 2007.
Skunk note: On December 28, 2006, TS gave the company $250,000 and the Company issued him a Convertible Debenture due December 28, 2008 for $250,000 plus 8% interest. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1120802/000126912707000052/gsa10k2006.txt A'06
March 2007, GSAgriFuels completed the acquisition of the remaining 87% of the outstanding capital stock of Sustainable Systems, Inc.
In June 2007, and subject to the satisfaction of GS AgriFuels' outstanding obligations to Lender, GS AgriFuels agreed to issue to GreenShift Corporation 1,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in GS AgriFuels (the "Preferred Shares"), from which GreenShift agreed to assign 378,653 shares Series C Preferred Stock in GS AgriFuels to a former officer (Skunk Note: this has to be TS) of GS AgriFuels subject to Lender's first priority security interest in all of the stock and assets of GS AgriFuels.
While none of the Preferred Shares were issued because issuance of the Preferred Shares would have constituted a material breach of GS AgriFuels' Debentures and Transaction Documents with Lender (collectively, the "Transaction Documents"), GS AgriFuels' agreement to issue and GreenShift's agreement to assign the Preferred Shares were made in contravention of both GS AgriFuels' Transaction Documents and GreenShift's various agreements with Lender.

As of June 26, 2007, there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. This in a Form S-4 signed by both Mr. Scozzafava and Mr Kreisler.

In the 1Q p.28 we find out how much we spent to take GS Agrifuels private:
In accordance with the completion of the GS AgriFuels Go-Private Transaction (see Note 13, Convertible Debentures), the Company recorded the related obligation to the former minority shareholders of GS AgriFuels of $1,265,762 at December 31, 2007.

There are lots of things that could put GERS into default with YAGI here is a list of things that have recent deadlines.
GERS could be in default to Yagi if:
"7.1.16 June 30, 2008. The Borrower's affiliate, Sustainable Systems LLC, shall fail to have closed upon the purchase of the Title To Montana Property. "

We can thank brad for the attached....
great stuff we should all understand
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/blogs/dealbook/Wachtell_13D.pdf
lol...BYOB..em
hi geo.............................................
one of these days.......:)
great minds think alike!
firebag1.........................................
I'm staying put - but I'm bloody minded like that and I do understand
I think the longs are just sick of the board - I know I am lol
GL to ya
why would TS do a deal with KK for the shell........
if fired for cause? Or did I misunderstand something?
anyone know anything about....................
a market correction today.....?
glad you got it figured out LOL..em
Of course................
his client understands the term as well as he does.
in fact, not necessarily by choice I guess I know more than the average joe about this stuff
I'm just making sure I'm not paying hourly rates for a 2 pint/2 joe meet.....
btw - yes, TS will pay imo - apparently he has been putting his directors and staff in the stock down here. I'm sure that would go down well if he craps all over them.
I have my lawyer attending.............................
had better be good..em
whatever..do as you will..em
wrong.......imo
THIS is the bottom
watch........
IMO.......................
TS has no incentive to boost pps until the RS completes (or is cancelled)
He has every incentive to keep the pps at the post split level or higher.........crunch the numbers
Patience - we are close to removing the cloud of uncertainty that is holding us back!
Beware - of posters that make light by posting inverted charts!
Remember - everyone likes a solid bottom! :)
shucks..........................
what a disappointment it must be for some
Bring it on..em
your opinion...........................................
I do not agree
GL
?..................................
stocks go down, they go up
it's not about posters/anyone being right
the problem with boards (imo) is that (most) people are intent on bragging rights of being "right"
whatever is said on here doesn't mean shiatsu.
Non-sequitur..............................
we're not here to right the penny market
some would rather markets simply close their doors
I have seen it before many times
I love the politics of distraction - oh look, it's ALL around you
I am very confident in the direction of SWVC at this level
so confident...
but hey, that's me
great post..em
I wouldn't worry........................
if there is a run it'll be the ole drop kick game
if not, it's toast.
imo, of course
Interesting...em
why would he drop it b4 the RS?
unless it means ....no RS........
by the way.....
IF you feel confident NOW is the time to buy real cheapies
there MAY be a dip post rs (if it happens) but I wouldn't count on it lasting long
just too undervalued here imo
OR wait and jump in like everyone else when they realize it won't drop like a stone
and no bombs from Tom until the RS period over imo
ain't pretty = just keeping it real
I have much more in the wings saying I am right.......
Hey - profit's profit..em
worry not...
all is in hand I'm sure lol
hope you are enjoying the weekend
perhaps we'll get a move north by Thanksgiving! lol
Let me reiterate..................................
retail not buying but that's OK
if the RS DOES occur then what incentive does Tom have to drop a bomb now? Answer - none. It won't help the clean up of the CDs since he'll get far more mileage from a run once the uncertainty has cleared
I am much more interested in:
1)seeing low current market cap until then
2)finding out how much debt he has paid off in cash in this stall period (since he is required to per the agreements)
3) the actual float
all will be revealed in due course
bottom is bottom - no one can say this is the RS at the top of a pump. I see buying more in my future lol
I agree...............................

geo: you are in my thoughts.............................
all the best
so ya keep saying..................................
so sad
what about the float also?........................
800k in escrow we know about, but all that volume in July with a a drop from .001 to where we are now. What do you reckon - 400m or closer to 800m more? I guess we need 3rd Q for that.
I sincerely hope you don't own any..em
so how much is in the float?
any idea?
who bought all the shares in July?
remember that far back?
skipped a step?
how can they issue a billion and still be channeling?
buying more soon
reload and go?
could be a good momo..em
cash is fungible..em
