The 8k states that the acquisition of C&C closed on March 31, 2011.
The Sale Agreement says that the closing date is set for April 8, 2011.
---
From the "Assignment of Oil and Gas Lease.pdf", which is downloadable by clicking on the heading "Texas" on Treatys "Project" webpage, the TRRC Lease numbers are listed as:
HENDERSON LEASE - TRRC District 7B, Lease #00324
LONG LEASE - TRRC District 7B, Lease #00324 (same as Henderson Lease, weird, "Long" lease doesn't show up)
BARNES LEASE - TRRC District 7B, Lease #08680 and #25394)
This number (P – 17 #5596) is also shown for the Barnes lease. I don't know what significence it has.
Treaty says that the Barnes lease is producing 10 to 15 barrels of oil per day.
http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Treaty-Energy-Acquires-Oil-Gas-Company-1421275.htm
The TRRC site doesn't confirm this number.
Production records can be found at:

I could find nothing on the "Long" lease, due to the wrong Lease number.

I believe that the fictatious name "TK Holdings, LLC"
http://sunbiz.org/scripts/ficidet.exe?action=DETREG&docnum=G09013900355&rdocnum=G02007900411
used in the 10k, instead of the real name "Tri Koon Holdings, LLC", was in order to hide the fact that the Alonzo's and Blackburn were the principles involved with TECO.(an example of smoke and mirrors, not transparency)
If you look up TK Holdings, LLC on the Texas site
https://ourcpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/servlet/cpa.app.coa.CoaGetTp?Pg=tpid&Search_Nm=TK%20Holdings%20&Button=search&Search_ID=10437185415
the Alonzo's and Blackburn don't show up, because its the wrong company.
It's only when you look up Tri Koon Holdings, LLC or TK Holdings(Fictitious Name Search) on the Florida site, that the curtain is lifted.

CHAPTER 7
DEBTOR
WILBUR J. “BILL” BABIN, JR., IN HIS
CAPACITY AS TRUSTEE OF THE
BANKRUPTCY ESTATE OF PHOENIX
ASSOCIATES LAND SYNDICATE,
PLAINTIFF
"Between June 10, 2005 and June 10, 2009 (the four year reach-back period under Nevada law), Phoenix distributed in excess of $6,000,000.00 to its three principals, Paul Alonzo, Carolyn Alonzo, and Ronald Blackburn. At the same time that it was distributing these millions of dollars to its principals, Phoenix submerged sharply into deeper levels of debt. Schedule F of the Debtor’s bankruptcy schedules tallies a total indebtedness at $20,135,813.313 (Bankruptcy Case Doc. 39). The Trustee has determined that the distributions to the Alonzos and Blackburn were paid at the expense of its and its companies’ unpaid creditors, and constituted fraudulent conveyances and unlawful dividends under Nevada and federal bankruptcy law.
Since 2003, creditors have been pursuing Phoenix. According to the Statement of Financial Affairs, at least forty creditors have filed suits in various courthouses across the country and are seeking collection of their claims."

Blackburn dissolved Tri Koon Holdings, LLC as recorded in this document:
11/19/2009 -- LC Voluntary Dissolution
on the Florida site.
http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet.exe?action=DETFIL&inq_doc_number=L08000094414&inq_came_from=NAMFWD&cor_web_names_seq_number=0000&names_name_ind=N&names_cor_number=&names_name_seq=&names_name_ind=&names_comp_name=TRIKOONHOLDINGS&names_filing_type=
If the notation in Blackburns own hand is accurate(and I see no reason to believe that it is not) then he owned 100% of Tri Koon Holdings interest in TECO at that time.(397,440,000 shares....86.39 % of O/S)
Per the 10k for 2010
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1075773/000135448811001208/0001354488-11-001208-index.htm
he owned 67,353,946. Some of those shares have gone for acquisitions ( I haven't tallied them, but definitely not 330,086,054), he seems to be selling hand over fist.
And why did the 10K(dated Dec 31, 2009) list TK Holdings, LLC as a beneficial owner when it was already dissolved? The rightful entry of beneficial owner should have been Ronald L Blackburn.
I see that they are finally using his name, instead of the curtain of "TK Holdings".

History of fraud
Micro-cap stocks, or companies with fewer than 500 investors and $10 million in assets like Orpheum Property, don't have to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No filings have been made about the Orpheum merger or name change.
The SEC notes that many micro-cap stocks are legitimate businesses, "but the lack of reliable, readily available information about some microcap companies can open the door to fraud." Fraud perpetrators often pay promoters to tout their stock and issue news releases that are exaggerated or untrue, the SEC warns.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's database indicates that Reid is no stranger to securities fraud.
In 2002, while working for Williams Financial Group in Dallas, Reid took a $10,090.58 check from a customer and deposited it in his own account rather than forwarding it to the firm. When Reid failed to respond, the National Association of Securities Dealers barred him from association with any member firm.
In 2004, Reid was accused of unsuitable trading and investing, fraud, negligence and violating state and federal securities regulations that caused $6 million in damage to investors. After arbitration, the case was settled in 2006 for $35,000.
In 2003, Reid's employer, Corporate Securities Group, filed a complaint alleging "unsuitable investment" in municipal bonds that caused more than $100,000 of damage. Arbitration is pending.
In 2001, while working for First Allied Securities in San Diego, Reid was accused of having an unexplained debit balance of $60,321.09. The case was settled for $290.
In 2001, GMS Group of New Jersey accused Reid, who worked for the firm, of making "unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentations and breach of contract in connection with their investments in certain high yield corporate debt and other securities" resulting in damages of $200,000. The case was settled in arbitration for $106,275.

Excerpts from:
http://www.nola.com/business/t-p/index.ssf?/base/money-5/1292739703145850.xml&coll=1
"The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., the industry group that regulates securities brokers, has seven closed securities investigations on file for Reid alleging things like misrepresentation, fraud, negligence, breach of contract, unsuitable trading and investing, violating securities regulations and depositing a check meant for the firm into his personal account."
"I was never found to be at fault for harming any investors," Reid said, a statement which conflicts with the official account in his 22-page report.

Excerpt:
"As permitted by the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS"), the Company has the power to indemnify any person made a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful."

clearly states:
"Buyer shall deliver to Seller the full payment of Six Million Dollars($6,000,000.00) in collected funds at closing."
-----------------
Per the Reserve Report:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_201001/ai_n47546970/
Operating Expenses; oil wells $225/well-month = $2,700/well-year
Operating Expenses; deeper oil wells $750 - $850/well-month = $9,000/well-year
---
660 well x $2,700 = $1,782,000 operating expense per year(conservative)
-----------------
current production = 135 bbls/day using $70/bbl = $3,449,250/year gross revenue, minus the 5% overriding royalty interest for Town Oil($172,463) = $3,276,787
$3,276,787 - $1,782,000 operating expense/year =
$1,494,787 pre-tax income for deposit to the joint operating account.
Treaty gets 50% of this = $747,394 per year, which is put into the "joint operating account", and which they intend to use to help pay for the wells.
------
They owe $6,000,000 at closing or they default.
Excerpt from the PR dated 12/20/2010 "Treaty Energy and Town Oil have agreed to extend the term of the purchase agreement to February 21, 2011."
Excerpts from the PR dated 2/28/2011
"Treaty's lender is located in an area that has been affected by continued severe weather which has caused the lender to ask for a closing date of April 1, 2011."
"Treaty has asked for additional time from Town Oil and has been told to continue toward the loan closing and they would hold off on taking possession of the 60 million shares of Treaty Energy stock held in escrow as liquidated damages should the loan not close. Just to be clear, these shares are held in an escrow account in Kansas and can be converted from the listed owner of the shares to Town Oil at their discretion should the loan not close."
I found the wording of the PR a bit ambiguous.
It doesn't specifically say that Town Oil agreed to the date of April 1, 2011, only that the lender asked for that date.
And it certainly didn't say anything about any signed and notarized agreement to extend the date.
Without a signed and notarized agreement Town Oil can, if they so decide, call the deal null and void and take the shares that are being held in escrow at any time. Maybe they'll wait until April 1 and maybe they won't.
$6,000,000 - $747,394 = $5,252,606 that they need to come up with from a source other than the current well production of these leases.
If they default, what will be forfeited is:
the $900,000 in stock(60 million shares per PR released Feb 28, 2011) that has been placed in escrow as earnest money and all of the funds accrued in the "joint operating account".

Treaty intends to start drilling its first well no later than July 1, 2010.(It didn't happen.)

Kind of makes me wonder how well this shareholder (Ron Blackburn, 'my assumption') is keeping the official management of this company up to date on his wheeling and dealings.
“In July, 2010, we sold a 5% interest in our investment in the Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited (2.5% of the total partnership interest) to an investor for $250,000 in cash.”
"We intend to finance the drilling of one to three wells by selling additional interests in our Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited."

07/02/2010 Amandala Newspaper article
http://www.amandala.com.bz/index.php?id=10024
"Broke, no experience, but gets oil concession!!"
"Cho, however, put little weight on the fact that the partner of Princess, Treaty Energy Corporation, continues to be “in the red,” and with very little to invest in Belize."
"One of the investors in Treaty with whom we had a chance to communicate this week told us that many, including the Government of Belize, think that crude and natural gas reserves are “plentiful” in Belize."
"As to the partnership between Princess and Treaty, Cho said that although Treaty wants a stake in the Princess Petroleum production sharing agreement, the Government of Belize would need to approve it. However, Treaty can still continue works for Princess under the existing “farm in” agreement, of which he says the Government has received a copy."

The 8k states that the acquisition of C&C closed on March 31, 2011.
But, the Sale Agreement says that the closing date is set for April 8, 2011.
As of today, still no word as to specific details concerning the leases that would enable investors to verify their oil production.

used in the 10k, instead of the real name "Tri Koon Holdings, LLC", was in order to hide the fact that the Alonzo's and Blackburn were the principles involved with TECO.(an example of smoke and mirrors, not transparency)
If you look up TK Holdings, LLC on the Texas site

the Alonzo's and Blackburn don't show up, because its the wrong company.
It's only when you look up Tri Koon Holdings, LLC or TK Holdings(Fictitious Name Search) on the Florida site, that the curtain is lifted.

DEBTOR
WILBUR J. “BILL” BABIN, JR., IN HIS
CAPACITY AS TRUSTEE OF THE
BANKRUPTCY ESTATE OF PHOENIX
ASSOCIATES LAND SYNDICATE,
PLAINTIFF
"Between June 10, 2005 and June 10, 2009 (the four year reach-back period under Nevada law), Phoenix distributed in excess of $6,000,000.00 to its three principals, Paul Alonzo, Carolyn Alonzo, and Ronald Blackburn. At the same time that it was distributing these millions of dollars to its principals, Phoenix submerged sharply into deeper levels of debt. Schedule F of the Debtor’s bankruptcy schedules tallies a total indebtedness at $20,135,813.313 (Bankruptcy Case Doc. 39). The Trustee has determined that the distributions to the Alonzos and Blackburn were paid at the expense of its and its companies’ unpaid creditors, and constituted fraudulent conveyances and unlawful dividends under Nevada and federal bankruptcy law.
Since 2003, creditors have been pursuing Phoenix. According to the Statement of Financial Affairs, at least forty creditors have filed suits in various courthouses across the country and are seeking collection of their claims."

If the notation in Blackburns own hand is accurate(and I see no reason to believe that it is not) then he owned 100% of Tri Koon Holdings interest in TECO at that time.(397,440,000 shares....86.39 % of O/S)
Per the 10k for 2010
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1075773/000135448811001208/0001354488-11-001208-index.htm
he owned 67,353,946. Some of those shares have gone for acquisitions ( I haven't tallied them, but definitely not 330,086,054), he seems to be selling hand over fist.
And why did the 10K(dated Dec 31, 2009) list TK Holdings, LLC as a beneficial owner when it was already dissolved? The rightful entry of beneficial owner should have been Ronald L Blackburn.
I see that they are finally using his name, instead of the curtain of "TK Holdings".

Background links for Andrew V. Reid, Treaty's CEO
Excerpt from:
http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2010/12/new_orleans_newest_public_comp.html

History of fraud
Micro-cap stocks, or companies with fewer than 500 investors and $10 million in assets like Orpheum Property, don't have to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No filings have been made about the Orpheum merger or name change.
The SEC notes that many micro-cap stocks are legitimate businesses, "but the lack of reliable, readily available information about some microcap companies can open the door to fraud." Fraud perpetrators often pay promoters to tout their stock and issue news releases that are exaggerated or untrue, the SEC warns.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's database indicates that Reid is no stranger to securities fraud.
In 2002, while working for Williams Financial Group in Dallas, Reid took a $10,090.58 check from a customer and deposited it in his own account rather than forwarding it to the firm. When Reid failed to respond, the National Association of Securities Dealers barred him from association with any member firm.
In 2004, Reid was accused of unsuitable trading and investing, fraud, negligence and violating state and federal securities regulations that caused $6 million in damage to investors. After arbitration, the case was settled in 2006 for $35,000.
In 2003, Reid's employer, Corporate Securities Group, filed a complaint alleging "unsuitable investment" in municipal bonds that caused more than $100,000 of damage. Arbitration is pending.
In 2001, while working for First Allied Securities in San Diego, Reid was accused of having an unexplained debit balance of $60,321.09. The case was settled for $290.
In 2001, GMS Group of New Jersey accused Reid, who worked for the firm, of making "unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentations and breach of contract in connection with their investments in certain high yield corporate debt and other securities" resulting in damages of $200,000. The case was settled in arbitration for $106,275.

Excerpts from:
http://www.nola.com/business/t-p/index.ssf?/base/money-5/1292739703145850.xml&coll=1
"The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., the industry group that regulates securities brokers, has seven closed securities investigations on file for Reid alleging things like misrepresentation, fraud, negligence, breach of contract, unsuitable trading and investing, violating securities regulations and depositing a check meant for the firm into his personal account."
"I was never found to be at fault for harming any investors," Reid said, a statement which conflicts with the official account in his 22-page report.

Excerpt:
"As permitted by the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS"), the Company has the power to indemnify any person made a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful."

clearly states:
"Buyer shall deliver to Seller the full payment of Six Million Dollars($6,000,000.00) in collected funds at closing."
-----------------
Per the Reserve Report:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_201001/ai_n47546970/
Operating Expenses; oil wells $225/well-month = $2,700/well-year
Operating Expenses; deeper oil wells $750 - $850/well-month = $9,000/well-year
---
660 well x $2,700 = $1,782,000 operating expense per year(conservative)
-----------------
current production = 135 bbls/day using $70/bbl = $3,449,250/year gross revenue, minus the 5% overriding royalty interest for Town Oil($172,463) = $3,276,787
$3,276,787 - $1,782,000 operating expense/year =
$1,494,787 pre-tax income for deposit to the joint operating account.
Treaty gets 50% of this = $747,394 per year, which is put into the "joint operating account", and which they intend to use to help pay for the wells.
------
They owe $6,000,000 at closing or they default.
Excerpt from the PR dated 12/20/2010 "Treaty Energy and Town Oil have agreed to extend the term of the purchase agreement to February 21, 2011."
Excerpts from the PR dated 2/28/2011
"Treaty's lender is located in an area that has been affected by continued severe weather which has caused the lender to ask for a closing date of April 1, 2011."
"Treaty has asked for additional time from Town Oil and has been told to continue toward the loan closing and they would hold off on taking possession of the 60 million shares of Treaty Energy stock held in escrow as liquidated damages should the loan not close. Just to be clear, these shares are held in an escrow account in Kansas and can be converted from the listed owner of the shares to Town Oil at their discretion should the loan not close."
I found the wording of the PR a bit ambiguous.
It doesn't specifically say that Town Oil agreed to the date of April 1, 2011, only that the lender asked for that date.
And it certainly didn't say anything about any signed and notarized agreement to extend the date.
Without a signed and notarized agreement Town Oil can, if they so decide, call the deal null and void and take the shares that are being held in escrow at any time. Maybe they'll wait until April 1 and maybe they won't.
$6,000,000 - $747,394 = $5,252,606 that they need to come up with from a source other than the current well production of these leases.
If they default, what will be forfeited is:
the $900,000 in stock(60 million shares per PR released Feb 28, 2011) that has been placed in escrow as earnest money and all of the funds accrued in the "joint operating account".

Kind of makes me wonder how well this shareholder (Ron Blackburn, 'my assumption') is keeping the official management of this company up to date on his wheeling and dealings.
“In July, 2010, we sold a 5% interest in our investment in the Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited (2.5% of the total partnership interest) to an investor for $250,000 in cash.”
"We intend to finance the drilling of one to three wells by selling additional interests in our Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited."

"Broke, no experience, but gets oil concession!!"
"Cho, however, put little weight on the fact that the partner of Princess, Treaty Energy Corporation, continues to be “in the red,” and with very little to invest in Belize."
"One of the investors in Treaty with whom we had a chance to communicate this week told us that many, including the Government of Belize, think that crude and natural gas reserves are “plentiful” in Belize."
"As to the partnership between Princess and Treaty, Cho said that although Treaty wants a stake in the Princess Petroleum production sharing agreement, the Government of Belize would need to approve it. However, Treaty can still continue works for Princess under the existing “farm in” agreement, of which he says the Government has received a copy."

j45, just reading this excerpt I would think that you were right. Without the written agreement it just doesn't seem like complete information to me.

Excerpt--
"By law, the reports that companies file with the SEC must be truthful and complete, presenting the facts investors find important in making decisions to buy, hold, or sell a security. But the SEC cannot guarantee the accuracy of the reports companies file. Some dishonest companies break the law and file false reports. Every year, the SEC brings enforcement actions against companies who've "cooked their books" or failed to provide important information to investors. Read SEC filings — and all other information — with a questioning and critical mind."
j45, Filing in a Periodic Report(e.g. 10k, 10Q) instead of an 8k.
http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/form8kfaq.htm
Q: If a triggering event specified in one of the items of Form 8-K occurs within 4 business days before a registrant's filing of a periodic report, may the registrant disclose the event in its periodic report rather than a separate Form 8-K? If so, under what item should the event be disclosed? Revised Item 5 of Part II of Forms 10-Q and 10-QSB and Item 9B of Form 10-K and Item 8B of Form 10-KSB appear to be limited to events that were required to be disclosed during the period covered by those reports.
A: Yes, a triggering event occurring within 4 business days before the registrant's filing of a periodic report may be disclosed in that periodic report, except for filings required to be made under Item 4.01, Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant and Item 4.02, Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review. The registrant may disclose triggering events, other than Items 4.01 and 4.02 events, on the periodic report under Revised Item 5 of Part II of Forms 10-Q and 10-QSB and Item 9B of Form 10-K and Item 8B of Form 10-KSB, as applicable. All Item 4.01 and Item 4.02 events must be reported on Form 8-K. Of course, amendments to previously filed Forms 8-K must be filed on a Form 8-K/A.
j45, I don't have time to look it up now, but I'm pretty sure that there doesn't have to be an 8k if its reported in a regular SEC filing. There might be a question of timing as to whether they have to file an 8k or can put it in, say a 10k.
From the 8k:

used in the 10k, instead of the real name "Tri Koon Holdings, LLC", was in order to hide the fact that the Alonzo's and Blackburn were the principles involved with TECO.(an example of smoke and mirrors, not transparency)
If you look up TK Holdings, LLC on the Texas site

CHAPTER 7
DEBTOR
WILBUR J. “BILL” BABIN, JR., IN HIS
CAPACITY AS TRUSTEE OF THE
BANKRUPTCY ESTATE OF PHOENIX
ASSOCIATES LAND SYNDICATE,
PLAINTIFF
"Between June 10, 2005 and June 10, 2009 (the four year reach-back period under Nevada law), Phoenix distributed in excess of $6,000,000.00 to its three principals, Paul Alonzo, Carolyn Alonzo, and Ronald Blackburn. At the same time that it was distributing these millions of dollars to its principals, Phoenix submerged sharply into deeper levels of debt. Schedule F of the Debtor’s bankruptcy schedules tallies a total indebtedness at $20,135,813.313 (Bankruptcy Case Doc. 39). The Trustee has determined that the distributions to the Alonzos and Blackburn were paid at the expense of its and its companies’ unpaid creditors, and constituted fraudulent conveyances and unlawful dividends under Nevada and federal bankruptcy law.
Since 2003, creditors have been pursuing Phoenix. According to the Statement of Financial Affairs, at least forty creditors have filed suits in various courthouses across the country and are seeking collection of their claims."

Per the 10k for 2010
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1075773/000135448811001208/0001354488-11-001208-index.htm
he owned 67,353,946. Some of those shares have gone for acquisitions ( I haven't tallied them, but definitely not 330,086,054), he seems to be selling hand over fist.
And why did the 10K(dated Dec 31, 2009) list TK Holdings, LLC as a beneficial owner when it was already dissolved? The rightful entry of beneficial owner should have been Ronald L Blackburn.
I see that they are finally using his name, instead of the curtain of "TK Holdings".

Background links for Andrew V. Reid, Treaty's CEO
Excerpt from:
http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2010/12/new_orleans_newest_public_comp.html

History of fraud
Micro-cap stocks, or companies with fewer than 500 investors and $10 million in assets like Orpheum Property, don't have to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No filings have been made about the Orpheum merger or name change.
The SEC notes that many micro-cap stocks are legitimate businesses, "but the lack of reliable, readily available information about some microcap companies can open the door to fraud." Fraud perpetrators often pay promoters to tout their stock and issue news releases that are exaggerated or untrue, the SEC warns.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's database indicates that Reid is no stranger to securities fraud.
In 2002, while working for Williams Financial Group in Dallas, Reid took a $10,090.58 check from a customer and deposited it in his own account rather than forwarding it to the firm. When Reid failed to respond, the National Association of Securities Dealers barred him from association with any member firm.
In 2004, Reid was accused of unsuitable trading and investing, fraud, negligence and violating state and federal securities regulations that caused $6 million in damage to investors. After arbitration, the case was settled in 2006 for $35,000.
In 2003, Reid's employer, Corporate Securities Group, filed a complaint alleging "unsuitable investment" in municipal bonds that caused more than $100,000 of damage. Arbitration is pending.
In 2001, while working for First Allied Securities in San Diego, Reid was accused of having an unexplained debit balance of $60,321.09. The case was settled for $290.
In 2001, GMS Group of New Jersey accused Reid, who worked for the firm, of making "unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentations and breach of contract in connection with their investments in certain high yield corporate debt and other securities" resulting in damages of $200,000. The case was settled in arbitration for $106,275.

Excerpts from:
http://www.nola.com/business/t-p/index.ssf?/base/money-5/1292739703145850.xml&coll=1
"The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., the industry group that regulates securities brokers, has seven closed securities investigations on file for Reid alleging things like misrepresentation, fraud, negligence, breach of contract, unsuitable trading and investing, violating securities regulations and depositing a check meant for the firm into his personal account."
"I was never found to be at fault for harming any investors," Reid said, a statement which conflicts with the official account in his 22-page report.

Excerpt:
"As permitted by the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS"), the Company has the power to indemnify any person made a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful."

clearly states:
"Buyer shall deliver to Seller the full payment of Six Million Dollars($6,000,000.00) in collected funds at closing."
-----------------
Per the Reserve Report:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_201001/ai_n47546970/
Operating Expenses; oil wells $225/well-month = $2,700/well-year
Operating Expenses; deeper oil wells $750 - $850/well-month = $9,000/well-year
---
660 well x $2,700 = $1,782,000 operating expense per year(conservative)
-----------------
current production = 135 bbls/day using $70/bbl = $3,449,250/year gross revenue, minus the 5% overriding royalty interest for Town Oil($172,463) = $3,276,787
$3,276,787 - $1,782,000 operating expense/year =
$1,494,787 pre-tax income for deposit to the joint operating account.
Treaty gets 50% of this = $747,394 per year, which is put into the "joint operating account", and which they intend to use to help pay for the wells.
------
They owe $6,000,000 at closing or they default.
Excerpt from the PR dated 12/20/2010 "Treaty Energy and Town Oil have agreed to extend the term of the purchase agreement to February 21, 2011."
Excerpts from the PR dated 2/28/2011
"Treaty's lender is located in an area that has been affected by continued severe weather which has caused the lender to ask for a closing date of April 1, 2011."
"Treaty has asked for additional time from Town Oil and has been told to continue toward the loan closing and they would hold off on taking possession of the 60 million shares of Treaty Energy stock held in escrow as liquidated damages should the loan not close. Just to be clear, these shares are held in an escrow account in Kansas and can be converted from the listed owner of the shares to Town Oil at their discretion should the loan not close."
I found the wording of the PR a bit ambiguous.
It doesn't specifically say that Town Oil agreed to the date of April 1, 2011, only that the lender asked for that date.
And it certainly didn't say anything about any signed and notarized agreement to extend the date.
Without a signed and notarized agreement Town Oil can, if they so decide, call the deal null and void and take the shares that are being held in escrow at any time. Maybe they'll wait until April 1 and maybe they won't.
$6,000,000 - $747,394 = $5,252,606 that they need to come up with from a source other than the current well production of these leases.
If they default, what will be forfeited is:
the $900,000 in stock(60 million shares per PR released Feb 28, 2011) that has been placed in escrow as earnest money and all of the funds accrued in the "joint operating account".

Entered into a 50\50 Joint Venture Agreement with Princess Petroleum Limited.
Treaty intends to start drilling its first well no later than July 1, 2010.(It didn't happen.)

Kind of makes me wonder how well this shareholder (Ron Blackburn, 'my assumption') is keeping the official management of this company up to date on his wheeling and dealings.
“In July, 2010, we sold a 5% interest in our investment in the Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited (2.5% of the total partnership interest) to an investor for $250,000 in cash.”
"We intend to finance the drilling of one to three wells by selling additional interests in our Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited."

07/02/2010 Amandala Newspaper article
http://www.amandala.com.bz/index.php?id=10024
"Broke, no experience, but gets oil concession!!"
"Cho, however, put little weight on the fact that the partner of Princess, Treaty Energy Corporation, continues to be “in the red,” and with very little to invest in Belize."
"One of the investors in Treaty with whom we had a chance to communicate this week told us that many, including the Government of Belize, think that crude and natural gas reserves are “plentiful” in Belize."
"As to the partnership between Princess and Treaty, Cho said that although Treaty wants a stake in the Princess Petroleum production sharing agreement, the Government of Belize would need to approve it. However, Treaty can still continue works for Princess under the existing “farm in” agreement, of which he says the Government has received a copy."

This purchase includes the following leases:
HENDERSON LEASE - 40 Acres

BARNES LEASE - 80 Acres

The 8k states that the acquisition of C&C closed on March 31, 2011.
But, the Sale Agreement says that the closing date is set for April 8, 2011.
As of today, still no word as to specific details concerning the leases that would enable investors to verify their oil production.

I believe that the fictatious name "TK Holdings, LLC"
http://sunbiz.org/scripts/ficidet.exe?action=DETREG&docnum=G09013900355&rdocnum=G02007900411
used in the 10k, instead of the real name "Tri Koon Holdings, LLC", was in order to hide the fact that the Alonzo's and Blackburn were the principles involved with TECO.(an example of smoke and mirrors, not transparency)
If you look up TK Holdings, LLC on the Texas site
https://ourcpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/servlet/cpa.app.coa.CoaGetTp?Pg=tpid&Search_Nm=TK%20Holdings%20&Button=search&Search_ID=10437185415
the Alonzo's and Blackburn don't show up, because its the wrong company.
It's only when you look up Tri Koon Holdings, LLC or TK Holdings(Fictitious Name Search) on the Florida site, that the curtain is lifted.

EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
IN RE: PHOENIX ASSOCIATES LAND SYNDICATE, INC.
CASE NO. 09-11743
CHAPTER 7
DEBTOR
WILBUR J. “BILL” BABIN, JR., IN HIS
CAPACITY AS TRUSTEE OF THE
BANKRUPTCY ESTATE OF PHOENIX
ASSOCIATES LAND SYNDICATE,
PLAINTIFF
"Between June 10, 2005 and June 10, 2009 (the four year reach-back period under Nevada law), Phoenix distributed in excess of $6,000,000.00 to its three principals, Paul Alonzo, Carolyn Alonzo, and Ronald Blackburn. At the same time that it was distributing these millions of dollars to its principals, Phoenix submerged sharply into deeper levels of debt. Schedule F of the Debtor’s bankruptcy schedules tallies a total indebtedness at $20,135,813.313 (Bankruptcy Case Doc. 39). The Trustee has determined that the distributions to the Alonzos and Blackburn were paid at the expense of its and its companies’ unpaid creditors, and constituted fraudulent conveyances and unlawful dividends under Nevada and federal bankruptcy law.
Since 2003, creditors have been pursuing Phoenix. According to the Statement of Financial Affairs, at least forty creditors have filed suits in various courthouses across the country and are seeking collection of their claims."

Blackburn dissolved Tri Koon Holdings, LLC as recorded in this document:
11/19/2009 -- LC Voluntary Dissolution
on the Florida site.

If the notation in Blackburns own hand is accurate(and I see no reason to believe that it is not) then he owned 100% of Tri Koon Holdings interest in TECO at that time.(397,440,000 shares....86.39 % of O/S)
Per the 10k for 2010
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1075773/000135448811001208/0001354488-11-001208-index.htm
he owned 67,353,946. Some of those shares have gone for acquisitions ( I haven't tallied them, but definitely not 330,086,054), he seems to be selling hand over fist.
And why did the 10K(dated Dec 31, 2009) list TK Holdings, LLC as a beneficial owner when it was already dissolved? The rightful entry of beneficial owner should have been Ronald L Blackburn.
I see that they are finally using his name, instead of the curtain of "TK Holdings".

Background links for Andrew V. Reid, Treaty's CEO
Excerpt from:
http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2010/12/new_orleans_newest_public_comp.html

History of fraud
Micro-cap stocks, or companies with fewer than 500 investors and $10 million in assets like Orpheum Property, don't have to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No filings have been made about the Orpheum merger or name change.
The SEC notes that many micro-cap stocks are legitimate businesses, "but the lack of reliable, readily available information about some microcap companies can open the door to fraud." Fraud perpetrators often pay promoters to tout their stock and issue news releases that are exaggerated or untrue, the SEC warns.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's database indicates that Reid is no stranger to securities fraud.
In 2002, while working for Williams Financial Group in Dallas, Reid took a $10,090.58 check from a customer and deposited it in his own account rather than forwarding it to the firm. When Reid failed to respond, the National Association of Securities Dealers barred him from association with any member firm.
In 2004, Reid was accused of unsuitable trading and investing, fraud, negligence and violating state and federal securities regulations that caused $6 million in damage to investors. After arbitration, the case was settled in 2006 for $35,000.
In 2003, Reid's employer, Corporate Securities Group, filed a complaint alleging "unsuitable investment" in municipal bonds that caused more than $100,000 of damage. Arbitration is pending.
In 2001, while working for First Allied Securities in San Diego, Reid was accused of having an unexplained debit balance of $60,321.09. The case was settled for $290.
In 2001, GMS Group of New Jersey accused Reid, who worked for the firm, of making "unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentations and breach of contract in connection with their investments in certain high yield corporate debt and other securities" resulting in damages of $200,000. The case was settled in arbitration for $106,275.

Excerpts from:
http://www.nola.com/business/t-p/index.ssf?/base/money-5/1292739703145850.xml&coll=1
"The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., the industry group that regulates securities brokers, has seven closed securities investigations on file for Reid alleging things like misrepresentation, fraud, negligence, breach of contract, unsuitable trading and investing, violating securities regulations and depositing a check meant for the firm into his personal account."
"I was never found to be at fault for harming any investors," Reid said, a statement which conflicts with the official account in his 22-page report.

Excerpt:
"As permitted by the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS"), the Company has the power to indemnify any person made a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful."

clearly states:
"Buyer shall deliver to Seller the full payment of Six Million Dollars($6,000,000.00) in collected funds at closing."
-----------------
Per the Reserve Report:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_201001/ai_n47546970/
Operating Expenses; oil wells $225/well-month = $2,700/well-year
Operating Expenses; deeper oil wells $750 - $850/well-month = $9,000/well-year
---
660 well x $2,700 = $1,782,000 operating expense per year(conservative)
-----------------
current production = 135 bbls/day using $70/bbl = $3,449,250/year gross revenue, minus the 5% overriding royalty interest for Town Oil($172,463) = $3,276,787
$3,276,787 - $1,782,000 operating expense/year =
$1,494,787 pre-tax income for deposit to the joint operating account.
Treaty gets 50% of this = $747,394 per year, which is put into the "joint operating account", and which they intend to use to help pay for the wells.
------
They owe $6,000,000 at closing or they default.
Excerpt from the PR dated 12/20/2010 "Treaty Energy and Town Oil have agreed to extend the term of the purchase agreement to February 21, 2011."
Excerpts from the PR dated 2/28/2011
"Treaty's lender is located in an area that has been affected by continued severe weather which has caused the lender to ask for a closing date of April 1, 2011."
"Treaty has asked for additional time from Town Oil and has been told to continue toward the loan closing and they would hold off on taking possession of the 60 million shares of Treaty Energy stock held in escrow as liquidated damages should the loan not close. Just to be clear, these shares are held in an escrow account in Kansas and can be converted from the listed owner of the shares to Town Oil at their discretion should the loan not close."
I found the wording of the PR a bit ambiguous.
It doesn't specifically say that Town Oil agreed to the date of April 1, 2011, only that the lender asked for that date.
And it certainly didn't say anything about any signed and notarized agreement to extend the date.
Without a signed and notarized agreement Town Oil can, if they so decide, call the deal null and void and take the shares that are being held in escrow at any time. Maybe they'll wait until April 1 and maybe they won't.
$6,000,000 - $747,394 = $5,252,606 that they need to come up with from a source other than the current well production of these leases.
If they default, what will be forfeited is:
the $900,000 in stock(60 million shares per PR released Feb 28, 2011) that has been placed in escrow as earnest money and all of the funds accrued in the "joint operating account".

Kind of makes me wonder how well this shareholder (Ron Blackburn, 'my assumption') is keeping the official management of this company up to date on his wheeling and dealings.
“In July, 2010, we sold a 5% interest in our investment in the Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited (2.5% of the total partnership interest) to an investor for $250,000 in cash.”
"We intend to finance the drilling of one to three wells by selling additional interests in our Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited."

"Broke, no experience, but gets oil concession!!"
"Cho, however, put little weight on the fact that the partner of Princess, Treaty Energy Corporation, continues to be “in the red,” and with very little to invest in Belize."
"One of the investors in Treaty with whom we had a chance to communicate this week told us that many, including the Government of Belize, think that crude and natural gas reserves are “plentiful” in Belize."
"As to the partnership between Princess and Treaty, Cho said that although Treaty wants a stake in the Princess Petroleum production sharing agreement, the Government of Belize would need to approve it. However, Treaty can still continue works for Princess under the existing “farm in” agreement, of which he says the Government has received a copy."

used in the 10k, instead of the real name "Tri Koon Holdings, LLC", was in order to hide the fact that the Alonzo's and Blackburn were the principles involved with TECO.(an example of smoke and mirrors, not transparency)
If you look up TK Holdings, LLC on the Texas site

WILBUR J. “BILL” BABIN, JR., IN HIS
CAPACITY AS TRUSTEE OF THE
BANKRUPTCY ESTATE OF PHOENIX
ASSOCIATES LAND SYNDICATE,
PLAINTIFF
"Between June 10, 2005 and June 10, 2009 (the four year reach-back period under Nevada law), Phoenix distributed in excess of $6,000,000.00 to its three principals, Paul Alonzo, Carolyn Alonzo, and Ronald Blackburn. At the same time that it was distributing these millions of dollars to its principals, Phoenix submerged sharply into deeper levels of debt. Schedule F of the Debtor’s bankruptcy schedules tallies a total indebtedness at $20,135,813.313 (Bankruptcy Case Doc. 39). The Trustee has determined that the distributions to the Alonzos and Blackburn were paid at the expense of its and its companies’ unpaid creditors, and constituted fraudulent conveyances and unlawful dividends under Nevada and federal bankruptcy law.
Since 2003, creditors have been pursuing Phoenix. According to the Statement of Financial Affairs, at least forty creditors have filed suits in various courthouses across the country and are seeking collection of their claims."

If the notation in Blackburns own hand is accurate(and I see no reason to believe that it is not) then he owned 100% of Tri Koon Holdings interest in TECO at that time.(397,440,000 shares....86.39 % of O/S)

he owned 67,353,946. Some of those shares have gone for acquisitions ( I haven't tallied them, but definitely not 330,086,054), he seems to be selling hand over fist.
And why did the 10K(dated Dec 31, 2009) list TK Holdings, LLC as a beneficial owner when it was already dissolved? The rightful entry of beneficial owner should have been Ronald L Blackburn.
I see that they are finally using his name, instead of the curtain of "TK Holdings".

History of fraud
Micro-cap stocks, or companies with fewer than 500 investors and $10 million in assets like Orpheum Property, don't have to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No filings have been made about the Orpheum merger or name change.
The SEC notes that many micro-cap stocks are legitimate businesses, "but the lack of reliable, readily available information about some microcap companies can open the door to fraud." Fraud perpetrators often pay promoters to tout their stock and issue news releases that are exaggerated or untrue, the SEC warns.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's database indicates that Reid is no stranger to securities fraud.
In 2002, while working for Williams Financial Group in Dallas, Reid took a $10,090.58 check from a customer and deposited it in his own account rather than forwarding it to the firm. When Reid failed to respond, the National Association of Securities Dealers barred him from association with any member firm.
In 2004, Reid was accused of unsuitable trading and investing, fraud, negligence and violating state and federal securities regulations that caused $6 million in damage to investors. After arbitration, the case was settled in 2006 for $35,000.
In 2003, Reid's employer, Corporate Securities Group, filed a complaint alleging "unsuitable investment" in municipal bonds that caused more than $100,000 of damage. Arbitration is pending.
In 2001, while working for First Allied Securities in San Diego, Reid was accused of having an unexplained debit balance of $60,321.09. The case was settled for $290.
In 2001, GMS Group of New Jersey accused Reid, who worked for the firm, of making "unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentations and breach of contract in connection with their investments in certain high yield corporate debt and other securities" resulting in damages of $200,000. The case was settled in arbitration for $106,275.

Excerpts from:

"The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., the industry group that regulates securities brokers, has seven closed securities investigations on file for Reid alleging things like misrepresentation, fraud, negligence, breach of contract, unsuitable trading and investing, violating securities regulations and depositing a check meant for the firm into his personal account."
"I was never found to be at fault for harming any investors," Reid said, a statement which conflicts with the official account in his 22-page report.

"As permitted by the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS"), the Company has the power to indemnify any person made a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful."

-----------------
Per the Reserve Report:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_201001/ai_n47546970/
Operating Expenses; oil wells $225/well-month = $2,700/well-year
Operating Expenses; deeper oil wells $750 - $850/well-month = $9,000/well-year
---
660 well x $2,700 = $1,782,000 operating expense per year(conservative)
-----------------
current production = 135 bbls/day using $70/bbl = $3,449,250/year gross revenue, minus the 5% overriding royalty interest for Town Oil($172,463) = $3,276,787
$3,276,787 - $1,782,000 operating expense/year =
$1,494,787 pre-tax income for deposit to the joint operating account.
Treaty gets 50% of this = $747,394 per year, which is put into the "joint operating account", and which they intend to use to help pay for the wells.

They owe $6,000,000 at closing or they default.

Just to be clear, these shares are held in an escrow account in Kansas and can be converted from the listed owner of the shares to Town Oil at their discretion should the loan not close."
I found the wording of the PR a bit ambiguous.
It doesn't specifically say that Town Oil agreed to the date of April 1, 2011, only that the lender asked for that date.
And it certainly didn't say anything about any signed and notarized agreement to extend the date.
Without a signed and notarized agreement Town Oil can, if they so decide, call the deal null and void and take the shares that are being held in escrow at any time. Maybe they'll wait until April 1 and maybe they won't.
$6,000,000 - $747,394 = $5,252,606 that they need to come up with from a source other than the current well production of these leases.
If they default, what will be forfeited is:
the $900,000 in stock(60 million shares per PR released Feb 28, 2011) that has been placed in escrow as earnest money and all of the funds accrued in the "joint operating account".

Kind of makes me wonder how well this shareholder (Ron Blackburn, 'my assumption') is keeping the official management of this company up to date on his wheeling and dealings.
“In July, 2010, we sold a 5% interest in our investment in the Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited (2.5% of the total partnership interest) to an investor for $250,000 in cash.”
"We intend to finance the drilling of one to three wells by selling additional interests in our Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited."

"Broke, no experience, but gets oil concession!!"
"Cho, however, put little weight on the fact that the partner of Princess, Treaty Energy Corporation, continues to be “in the red,” and with very little to invest in Belize."
"One of the investors in Treaty with whom we had a chance to communicate this week told us that many, including the Government of Belize, think that crude and natural gas reserves are “plentiful” in Belize."
"As to the partnership between Princess and Treaty, Cho said that although Treaty wants a stake in the Princess Petroleum production sharing agreement, the Government of Belize would need to approve it. However, Treaty can still continue works for Princess under the existing “farm in” agreement, of which he says the Government has received a copy."

BANKRUPTCY ESTATE OF PHOENIX
ASSOCIATES LAND SYNDICATE,
PLAINTIFF
"Between June 10, 2005 and June 10, 2009 (the four year reach-back period under Nevada law), Phoenix distributed in excess of $6,000,000.00 to its three principals, Paul Alonzo, Carolyn Alonzo, and Ronald Blackburn. At the same time that it was distributing these millions of dollars to its principals, Phoenix submerged sharply into deeper levels of debt. Schedule F of the Debtor’s bankruptcy schedules tallies a total indebtedness at $20,135,813.313 (Bankruptcy Case Doc. 39). The Trustee has determined that the distributions to the Alonzos and Blackburn were paid at the expense of its and its companies’ unpaid creditors, and constituted fraudulent conveyances and unlawful dividends under Nevada and federal bankruptcy law.
Since 2003, creditors have been pursuing Phoenix. According to the Statement of Financial Affairs, at least forty creditors have filed suits in various courthouses across the country and are seeking collection of their claims."

Blackburn fired the old management as mentioned in these TECO documents filed with the sec on July 8, 2009...

--------------
Blackburn dissolved Tri Koon Holdings, LLC as recorded in this document:
11/19/2009 -- LC Voluntary Dissolution
on the Florida site.
http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet.exe?action=DETFIL&inq_doc_number=L08000094414&inq_came_from=NAMFWD&cor_web_names_seq_number=0000&names_name_ind=N&names_cor_number=&names_name_seq=&names_name_ind=&names_comp_name=TRIKOONHOLDINGS&names_filing_type=
If the notation in Blackburns own hand is accurate(and I see no reason to believe that it is not) then he owned 100% of Tri Koon Holdings interest in TECO at that time.(397,440,000 shares....86.39 % of O/S)
Per the 10k for 2010
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1075773/000135448811001208/0001354488-11-001208-index.htm
he owned 67,353,946. Some of those shares have gone for acquisitions ( I haven't tallied them, but definitely not 330,086,054), he seems to be selling hand over fist.
And why did the 10K(dated Dec 31, 2009) list TK Holdings, LLC as a beneficial owner when it was already dissolved? The rightful entry of beneficial owner should have been Ronald L Blackburn.
I see that they are finally using his name, instead of the curtain of "TK Holdings".

Background links for Andrew V. Reid, Treaty's CEO
Excerpt from:
http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2010/12/new_orleans_newest_public_comp.html
---
History of fraud
Micro-cap stocks, or companies with fewer than 500 investors and $10 million in assets like Orpheum Property, don't have to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No filings have been made about the Orpheum merger or name change.
The SEC notes that many micro-cap stocks are legitimate businesses, "but the lack of reliable, readily available information about some microcap companies can open the door to fraud." Fraud perpetrators often pay promoters to tout their stock and issue news releases that are exaggerated or untrue, the SEC warns.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's database indicates that Reid is no stranger to securities fraud.
In 2002, while working for Williams Financial Group in Dallas, Reid took a $10,090.58 check from a customer and deposited it in his own account rather than forwarding it to the firm. When Reid failed to respond, the National Association of Securities Dealers barred him from association with any member firm.
In 2004, Reid was accused of unsuitable trading and investing, fraud, negligence and violating state and federal securities regulations that caused $6 million in damage to investors. After arbitration, the case was settled in 2006 for $35,000.
In 2003, Reid's employer, Corporate Securities Group, filed a complaint alleging "unsuitable investment" in municipal bonds that caused more than $100,000 of damage. Arbitration is pending.
In 2001, while working for First Allied Securities in San Diego, Reid was accused of having an unexplained debit balance of $60,321.09. The case was settled for $290.
In 2001, GMS Group of New Jersey accused Reid, who worked for the firm, of making "unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentations and breach of contract in connection with their investments in certain high yield corporate debt and other securities" resulting in damages of $200,000. The case was settled in arbitration for $106,275.

Excerpts from:
http://www.nola.com/business/t-p/index.ssf?/base/money-5/1292739703145850.xml&coll=1
"The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., the industry group that regulates securities brokers, has seven closed securities investigations on file for Reid alleging things like misrepresentation, fraud, negligence, breach of contract, unsuitable trading and investing, violating securities regulations and depositing a check meant for the firm into his personal account."
"I was never found to be at fault for harming any investors," Reid said, a statement which conflicts with the official account in his 22-page report.

Excerpt:
"As permitted by the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS"), the Company has the power to indemnify any person made a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful."

clearly states:
"Buyer shall deliver to Seller the full payment of Six Million Dollars($6,000,000.00) in collected funds at closing."
-----------------
Per the Reserve Report:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_201001/ai_n47546970/
Operating Expenses; oil wells $225/well-month = $2,700/well-year
Operating Expenses; deeper oil wells $750 - $850/well-month = $9,000/well-year
---
660 well x $2,700 = $1,782,000 operating expense per year(conservative)
-----------------
current production = 135 bbls/day using $70/bbl = $3,449,250/year gross revenue, minus the 5% overriding royalty interest for Town Oil($172,463) = $3,276,787
$3,276,787 - $1,782,000 operating expense/year =
$1,494,787 pre-tax income for deposit to the joint operating account.
Treaty gets 50% of this = $747,394 per year, which is put into the "joint operating account", and which they intend to use to help pay for the wells.
------
They owe $6,000,000 at closing or they default.
Excerpt from the PR dated 12/20/2010 "Treaty Energy and Town Oil have agreed to extend the term of the purchase agreement to February 21, 2011."
Excerpts from the PR dated 2/28/2011
"Treaty's lender is located in an area that has been affected by continued severe weather which has caused the lender to ask for a closing date of April 1, 2011."
"Treaty has asked for additional time from Town Oil and has been told to continue toward the loan closing and they would hold off on taking possession of the 60 million shares of Treaty Energy stock held in escrow as liquidated damages should the loan not close. Just to be clear, these shares are held in an escrow account in Kansas and can be converted from the listed owner of the shares to Town Oil at their discretion should the loan not close."
I found the wording of the PR a bit ambiguous.
It doesn't specifically say that Town Oil agreed to the date of April 1, 2011, only that the lender asked for that date.
And it certainly didn't say anything about any signed and notarized agreement to extend the date.
Without a signed and notarized agreement Town Oil can, if they so decide, call the deal null and void and take the shares that are being held in escrow at any time. Maybe they'll wait until April 1 and maybe they won't.
$6,000,000 - $747,394 = $5,252,606 that they need to come up with from a source other than the current well production of these leases.
If they default, what will be forfeited is:
the $900,000 in stock(60 million shares per PR released Feb 28, 2011) that has been placed in escrow as earnest money and all of the funds accrued in the "joint operating account".

Entered into a 50\50 Joint Venture Agreement with Princess Petroleum Limited.
Treaty intends to start drilling its first well no later than July 1, 2010.(It didn't happen.)

Kind of makes me wonder how well this shareholder (Ron Blackburn, 'my assumption') is keeping the official management of this company up to date on his wheeling and dealings.
“In July, 2010, we sold a 5% interest in our investment in the Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited (2.5% of the total partnership interest) to an investor for $250,000 in cash.”
"We intend to finance the drilling of one to three wells by selling additional interests in our Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited."

07/02/2010 Amandala Newspaper article
http://www.amandala.com.bz/index.php?id=10024
"Broke, no experience, but gets oil concession!!"
"Cho, however, put little weight on the fact that the partner of Princess, Treaty Energy Corporation, continues to be “in the red,” and with very little to invest in Belize."
"One of the investors in Treaty with whom we had a chance to communicate this week told us that many, including the Government of Belize, think that crude and natural gas reserves are “plentiful” in Belize."
"As to the partnership between Princess and Treaty, Cho said that although Treaty wants a stake in the Princess Petroleum production sharing agreement, the Government of Belize would need to approve it. However, Treaty can still continue works for Princess under the existing “farm in” agreement, of which he says the Government has received a copy."

The closing date is set for April 8, 2011 per the Sale Agreement.

As of today, still no word from the company on whether this acquisition was actually closed on, nor any clarification as to specific details concerning the leases that would enable investors to verify their oil production.

chilar4567, sound right to me. Hope Highground's Hallin and others can prove it. Maybe somebody will go to jail then.
By the way did you notice that Blackburn's conviction and incarceration records can't be found online on the Georgia Department of Corrections site any more?
Wonder if that's just a clerical error.
At 6 - 8 BBLS per day production and paying $25k/month as part of the purchase price, alone? I doubt that this is going to last any more than the other deals that were announced as done deals.
For example:
Morgan County, Tennessee
The Press Release dated: Dec 21, 2009 announced that the acquisition was successfully closed on.
http://investor.wedbush.com/wedbush/?GUID=11214454&Page=MediaViewer&Ticker=TECO
Then in the 10k for 2009
"As of the date of this report, we have been unsuccessful at obtaining financing to pay the promissory note and the seller has not transferred title to these assets."

The COLEMAN CROUCH lease in Pickett County Tennessee.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Treaty-Energy-Adds-Another-iw-1359885099.html?x=0&.v=1
That didn't happen either.

No word on the Kansas deal either even though there have been 3 pr's and a 10k issued since the date that the company implied was the closing date, with no mention of Kansas. It looks like this one didn't happen either. I quess we'll have to wait for the next 10Q to find out officially. 60,000,000 shares forfeited. jeez

You really should read the post titled:
A summary of the Acquisition PR’s and 8-k’s
No, I see no positive cash flow.
fmi81, the "Subsequent Events" section of the 10k allows for current news, from 12/31/2010 to the date of filing, to be added to it. The date of its filing was 4/15/2011.
According to the PR dated 2/28/2011 the new closing date was implied to be on 4/1/2011.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Treaty-Energy-Announces-iw-137914062.html?x=0&.v=1
That gave them plenty of time to include it in the "Subsequent Events" section. I wonder why they didn't.
There has been no word from the company in any form indicating that the Kansas deal has closed. That takes care of past and present, so you must be basing this repetitive "positive cash flow" statement on just your opinion.
crad, my understanding is that PBLS never owned any of TECO even though this 8k, filed 3/12/2009, says it did
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1075773/000135448809000268/0001354488-09-000268-index.htm
This 8ka, filed 3/17/2009 omits the Phoenix reference.

Seems like a "Pea and Shell" game to me.
fmi81, you keep saying that Treaty is cash flow positive, but the 10k says differently.
Are you basing that "opinion" on the Kansas deal going through?
If so, could you please show proof that it was closed on and what it's production is? Verifiable, I mean...not opinion or suppositions.

used in the 10k, instead of the real name "Tri Koon Holdings, LLC", was in order to hide the fact that the Alonzo's and Blackburn were the principles involved with TECO.(an example of smoke and mirrors, not transparency)
If you look up TK Holdings, LLC on the Texas site

CHAPTER 7
DEBTOR
WILBUR J. “BILL” BABIN, JR., IN HIS
CAPACITY AS TRUSTEE OF THE
BANKRUPTCY ESTATE OF PHOENIX
ASSOCIATES LAND SYNDICATE,
PLAINTIFF
"Between June 10, 2005 and June 10, 2009 (the four year reach-back period under Nevada law), Phoenix distributed in excess of $6,000,000.00 to its three principals, Paul Alonzo, Carolyn Alonzo, and Ronald Blackburn. At the same time that it was distributing these millions of dollars to its principals, Phoenix submerged sharply into deeper levels of debt. Schedule F of the Debtor’s bankruptcy schedules tallies a total indebtedness at $20,135,813.313 (Bankruptcy Case Doc. 39). The Trustee has determined that the distributions to the Alonzos and Blackburn were paid at the expense of its and its companies’ unpaid creditors, and constituted fraudulent conveyances and unlawful dividends under Nevada and federal bankruptcy law.
Since 2003, creditors have been pursuing Phoenix. According to the Statement of Financial Affairs, at least forty creditors have filed suits in various courthouses across the country and are seeking collection of their claims."

If the notation in Blackburns own hand is accurate(and I see no reason to believe that it is not) then he owned 100% of Tri Koon Holdings interest in TECO at that time.(397,440,000 shares....86.39 % of O/S)
Per the 10k for 2010
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1075773/000135448811001208/0001354488-11-001208-index.htm
he owned 67,353,946. Some of those shares have gone for acquisitions ( I haven't tallied them, but definitely not 330,086,054), he seems to be selling hand over fist.
And why did the 10K(dated Dec 31, 2009) list TK Holdings, LLC as a beneficial owner when it was already dissolved? The rightful entry of beneficial owner should have been Ronald L Blackburn.
I see that they are finally using his name, instead of the curtain of "TK Holdings".

Excerpt from:
http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2010/12/new_orleans_newest_public_comp.html

History of fraud
Micro-cap stocks, or companies with fewer than 500 investors and $10 million in assets like Orpheum Property, don't have to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No filings have been made about the Orpheum merger or name change.
The SEC notes that many micro-cap stocks are legitimate businesses, "but the lack of reliable, readily available information about some microcap companies can open the door to fraud." Fraud perpetrators often pay promoters to tout their stock and issue news releases that are exaggerated or untrue, the SEC warns.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's database indicates that Reid is no stranger to securities fraud.
In 2002, while working for Williams Financial Group in Dallas, Reid took a $10,090.58 check from a customer and deposited it in his own account rather than forwarding it to the firm. When Reid failed to respond, the National Association of Securities Dealers barred him from association with any member firm.
In 2004, Reid was accused of unsuitable trading and investing, fraud, negligence and violating state and federal securities regulations that caused $6 million in damage to investors. After arbitration, the case was settled in 2006 for $35,000.
In 2003, Reid's employer, Corporate Securities Group, filed a complaint alleging "unsuitable investment" in municipal bonds that caused more than $100,000 of damage. Arbitration is pending.
In 2001, while working for First Allied Securities in San Diego, Reid was accused of having an unexplained debit balance of $60,321.09. The case was settled for $290.
In 2001, GMS Group of New Jersey accused Reid, who worked for the firm, of making "unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentations and breach of contract in connection with their investments in certain high yield corporate debt and other securities" resulting in damages of $200,000. The case was settled in arbitration for $106,275.

Excerpts from:

"The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., the industry group that regulates securities brokers, has seven closed securities investigations on file for Reid alleging things like misrepresentation, fraud, negligence, breach of contract, unsuitable trading and investing, violating securities regulations and depositing a check meant for the firm into his personal account."
"I was never found to be at fault for harming any investors," Reid said, a statement which conflicts with the official account in his 22-page report.

"As permitted by the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS"), the Company has the power to indemnify any person made a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful."

Per the Reserve Report:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_201001/ai_n47546970/
Operating Expenses; oil wells $225/well-month = $2,700/well-year
Operating Expenses; deeper oil wells $750 - $850/well-month = $9,000/well-year
---
660 well x $2,700 = $1,782,000 operating expense per year(conservative)
-----------------
current production = 135 bbls/day using $70/bbl = $3,449,250/year gross revenue, minus the 5% overriding royalty interest for Town Oil($172,463) = $3,276,787
$3,276,787 - $1,782,000 operating expense/year =
$1,494,787 pre-tax income for deposit to the joint operating account.
Treaty gets 50% of this = $747,394 per year, which is put into the "joint operating account", and which they intend to use to help pay for the wells.
------
They owe $6,000,000 at closing or they default.
Excerpt from the PR dated 12/20/2010 "Treaty Energy and Town Oil have agreed to extend the term of the purchase agreement to February 21, 2011."
Excerpts from the PR dated 2/28/2011
"Treaty's lender is located in an area that has been affected by continued severe weather which has caused the lender to ask for a closing date of April 1, 2011."
"Treaty has asked for additional time from Town Oil and has been told to continue toward the loan closing and they would hold off on taking possession of the 60 million shares of Treaty Energy stock held in escrow as liquidated damages should the loan not close. Just to be clear, these shares are held in an escrow account in Kansas and can be converted from the listed owner of the shares to Town Oil at their discretion should the loan not close."
I found the wording of the PR a bit ambiguous.
It doesn't specifically say that Town Oil agreed to the date of April 1, 2011, only that the lender asked for that date.
And it certainly didn't say anything about any signed and notarized agreement to extend the date.
Without a signed and notarized agreement Town Oil can, if they so decide, call the deal null and void and take the shares that are being held in escrow at any time. Maybe they'll wait until April 1 and maybe they won't.
$6,000,000 - $747,394 = $5,252,606 that they need to come up with from a source other than the current well production of these leases.
If they default, what will be forfeited is:
the $900,000 in stock(60 million shares per PR released Feb 28, 2011) that has been placed in escrow as earnest money and all of the funds accrued in the "joint operating account".

used in the 10k, instead of the real name "Tri Koon Holdings, LLC", was in order to hide the fact that the Alonzo's and Blackburn were the principles involved with TECO.(an example of smoke and mirrors, not transparency)
If you look up TK Holdings, LLC on the Texas site

CAPACITY AS TRUSTEE OF THE
BANKRUPTCY ESTATE OF PHOENIX
ASSOCIATES LAND SYNDICATE,
PLAINTIFF
"Between June 10, 2005 and June 10, 2009 (the four year reach-back period under Nevada law), Phoenix distributed in excess of $6,000,000.00 to its three principals, Paul Alonzo, Carolyn Alonzo, and Ronald Blackburn. At the same time that it was distributing these millions of dollars to its principals, Phoenix submerged sharply into deeper levels of debt. Schedule F of the Debtor’s bankruptcy schedules tallies a total indebtedness at $20,135,813.313 (Bankruptcy Case Doc. 39). The Trustee has determined that the distributions to the Alonzos and Blackburn were paid at the expense of its and its companies’ unpaid creditors, and constituted fraudulent conveyances and unlawful dividends under Nevada and federal bankruptcy law.
Since 2003, creditors have been pursuing Phoenix. According to the Statement of Financial Affairs, at least forty creditors have filed suits in various courthouses across the country and are seeking collection of their claims."

If the notation in Blackburns own hand is accurate(and I see no reason to believe that it is not) then he owned 100% of Tri Koon Holdings interest in TECO at that time.
And why did the 10K(dated Dec 31, 2009) list TK Holdings, LLC as a beneficial owner when it was already dissolved? The rightful entry of beneficial owner should have been Ronald L Blackburn.

Excerpt from:

History of fraud
Micro-cap stocks, or companies with fewer than 500 investors and $10 million in assets like Orpheum Property, don't have to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No filings have been made about the Orpheum merger or name change.
The SEC notes that many micro-cap stocks are legitimate businesses, "but the lack of reliable, readily available information about some microcap companies can open the door to fraud." Fraud perpetrators often pay promoters to tout their stock and issue news releases that are exaggerated or untrue, the SEC warns.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's database indicates that Reid is no stranger to securities fraud.
In 2002, while working for Williams Financial Group in Dallas, Reid took a $10,090.58 check from a customer and deposited it in his own account rather than forwarding it to the firm. When Reid failed to respond, the National Association of Securities Dealers barred him from association with any member firm.
In 2004, Reid was accused of unsuitable trading and investing, fraud, negligence and violating state and federal securities regulations that caused $6 million in damage to investors. After arbitration, the case was settled in 2006 for $35,000.
In 2003, Reid's employer, Corporate Securities Group, filed a complaint alleging "unsuitable investment" in municipal bonds that caused more than $100,000 of damage. Arbitration is pending.
In 2001, while working for First Allied Securities in San Diego, Reid was accused of having an unexplained debit balance of $60,321.09. The case was settled for $290.
In 2001, GMS Group of New Jersey accused Reid, who worked for the firm, of making "unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentations and breach of contract in connection with their investments in certain high yield corporate debt and other securities" resulting in damages of $200,000. The case was settled in arbitration for $106,275.

Excerpts from:
http://www.nola.com/business/t-p/index.ssf?/base/money-5/1292739703145850.xml&coll=1
"The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., the industry group that regulates securities brokers, has seven closed securities investigations on file for Reid alleging things like misrepresentation, fraud, negligence, breach of contract, unsuitable trading and investing, violating securities regulations and depositing a check meant for the firm into his personal account."
"I was never found to be at fault for harming any investors," Reid said, a statement which conflicts with the official account in his 22-page report.

Operating Expenses; oil wells $225/well-month = $2,700/well-year
Operating Expenses; deeper oil wells $750 - $850/well-month = $9,000/well-year
---
660 well x $2,700 = $1,782,000 operating expense per year(conservative)
-----------------
current production = 135 bbls/day using $70/bbl = $3,449,250/year gross revenue, minus the 5% overriding royalty interest for Town Oil($172,463) = $3,276,787
$3,276,787 - $1,782,000 operating expense/year =
$1,494,787 pre-tax income for deposit to the joint operating account.
Treaty gets 50% of this = $747,394 per year, which is put into the "joint operating account", and which they intend to use to help pay for the wells.
------
They owe $6,000,000 at closing or they default.
Excerpt from the PR dated 12/20/2010 "Treaty Energy and Town Oil have agreed to extend the term of the purchase agreement to February 21, 2011."
Excerpts from the PR dated 2/28/2011
"Treaty's lender is located in an area that has been affected by continued severe weather which has caused the lender to ask for a closing date of April 1, 2011."
"Treaty has asked for additional time from Town Oil and has been told to continue toward the loan closing and they would hold off on taking possession of the 60 million shares of Treaty Energy stock held in escrow as liquidated damages should the loan not close. Just to be clear, these shares are held in an escrow account in Kansas and can be converted from the listed owner of the shares to Town Oil at their discretion should the loan not close."
I found the wording of the PR a bit ambiguous.
It doesn't specifically say that Town Oil agreed to the date of April 1, 2011, only that the lender asked for that date.
And it certainly didn't say anything about any signed and notarized agreement to extend the date.
Without a signed and notarized agreement Town Oil can, if they so decide, call the deal null and void and take the shares that are being held in escrow at any time. Maybe they'll wait until April 1 and maybe they won't.
$6,000,000 - $747,394 = $5,252,606 that they need to come up with from a source other than the current well production of these leases.
If they default, what will be forfeited is:
the $900,000 in stock(60 million shares per PR released Feb 28, 2011) that has been placed in escrow as earnest money and all of the funds accrued in the "joint operating account".

Kind of makes me wonder how well this shareholder (Ron Blackburn, 'my assumption') is keeping the official management of this company up to date on his wheeling and dealings.
“In July, 2010, we sold a 5% interest in our investment in the Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited (2.5% of the total partnership interest) to an investor for $250,000 in cash.”
"We intend to finance the drilling of one to three wells by selling additional interests in our Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited."

07/02/2010 Amandala Newspaper article
http://www.amandala.com.bz/index.php?id=10024
"Broke, no experience, but gets oil concession!!"
"Cho, however, put little weight on the fact that the partner of Princess, Treaty Energy Corporation, continues to be “in the red,” and with very little to invest in Belize."
"One of the investors in Treaty with whom we had a chance to communicate this week told us that many, including the Government of Belize, think that crude and natural gas reserves are “plentiful” in Belize."
"As to the partnership between Princess and Treaty, Cho said that although Treaty wants a stake in the Princess Petroleum production sharing agreement, the Government of Belize would need to approve it. However, Treaty can still continue works for Princess under the existing “farm in” agreement, of which he says the Government has received a copy."

"Between June 10, 2005 and June 10, 2009 (the four year reach-back period under Nevada law), Phoenix distributed in excess of $6,000,000.00 to its three principals, Paul Alonzo, Carolyn Alonzo, and Ronald Blackburn. At the same time that it was distributing these millions of dollars to its principals, Phoenix submerged sharply into deeper levels of debt. Schedule F of the Debtor’s bankruptcy schedules tallies a total indebtedness at $20,135,813.313 (Bankruptcy Case Doc. 39). The Trustee has determined that the distributions to the Alonzos and Blackburn were paid at the expense of its and its companies’ unpaid creditors, and constituted fraudulent conveyances and unlawful dividends under Nevada and federal bankruptcy law.
Since 2003, creditors have been pursuing Phoenix. According to the Statement of Financial Affairs, at least forty creditors have filed suits in various courthouses across the country and are seeking collection of their claims."

Blackburn dissolved Tri Koon Holdings, LLC as recorded in this document:
11/19/2009 -- LC Voluntary Dissolution
on the Florida site.
http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet.exe?action=DETFIL&inq_doc_number=L08000094414&inq_came_from=NAMFWD&cor_web_names_seq_number=0000&names_name_ind=N&names_cor_number=&names_name_seq=&names_name_ind=&names_comp_name=TRIKOONHOLDINGS&names_filing_type=
If the notation in Blackburns own hand is accurate(and I see no reason to believe that it is not) then he owned 100% of Tri Koon Holdings interest in TECO at that time.
And why did the 10K(dated Dec 31, 2009) list TK Holdings, LLC as a beneficial owner when it was already dissolved? The rightful entry of beneficial owner should have been Ronald L Blackburn.

History of fraud
Micro-cap stocks, or companies with fewer than 500 investors and $10 million in assets like Orpheum Property, don't have to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No filings have been made about the Orpheum merger or name change.
The SEC notes that many micro-cap stocks are legitimate businesses, "but the lack of reliable, readily available information about some microcap companies can open the door to fraud." Fraud perpetrators often pay promoters to tout their stock and issue news releases that are exaggerated or untrue, the SEC warns.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's database indicates that Reid is no stranger to securities fraud.
In 2002, while working for Williams Financial Group in Dallas, Reid took a $10,090.58 check from a customer and deposited it in his own account rather than forwarding it to the firm. When Reid failed to respond, the National Association of Securities Dealers barred him from association with any member firm.
In 2004, Reid was accused of unsuitable trading and investing, fraud, negligence and violating state and federal securities regulations that caused $6 million in damage to investors. After arbitration, the case was settled in 2006 for $35,000.
In 2003, Reid's employer, Corporate Securities Group, filed a complaint alleging "unsuitable investment" in municipal bonds that caused more than $100,000 of damage. Arbitration is pending.
In 2001, while working for First Allied Securities in San Diego, Reid was accused of having an unexplained debit balance of $60,321.09. The case was settled for $290.
In 2001, GMS Group of New Jersey accused Reid, who worked for the firm, of making "unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentations and breach of contract in connection with their investments in certain high yield corporate debt and other securities" resulting in damages of $200,000. The case was settled in arbitration for $106,275.

"The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., the industry group that regulates securities brokers, has seven closed securities investigations on file for Reid alleging things like misrepresentation, fraud, negligence, breach of contract, unsuitable trading and investing, violating securities regulations and depositing a check meant for the firm into his personal account."
"I was never found to be at fault for harming any investors," Reid said, a statement which conflicts with the official account in his 22-page report.

Excerpt:
"As permitted by the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS"), the Company has the power to indemnify any person made a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful."

"Buyer shall deliver to Seller the full payment of Six Million Dollars($6,000,000.00) in collected funds at closing."

Per the Reserve Report:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_201001/ai_n47546970/
Operating Expenses; oil wells $225/well-month = $2,700/well-year
Operating Expenses; deeper oil wells $750 - $850/well-month = $9,000/well-year
---
660 well x $2,700 = $1,782,000 operating expense per year(conservative)
-----------------
current production = 135 bbls/day using $70/bbl = $3,449,250/year gross revenue, minus the 5% overriding royalty interest for Town Oil($172,463) = $3,276,787
$3,276,787 - $1,782,000 operating expense/year =
$1,494,787 pre-tax income for deposit to the joint operating account.
Treaty gets 50% of this = $747,394 per year, which is put into the "joint operating account", and which they intend to use to help pay for the wells.
------
They owe $6,000,000 at closing or they default.
Excerpt from the PR dated 12/20/2010 "Treaty Energy and Town Oil have agreed to extend the term of the purchase agreement to February 21, 2011."
Excerpts from the PR dated 2/28/2011
"Treaty's lender is located in an area that has been affected by continued severe weather which has caused the lender to ask for a closing date of April 1, 2011."
"Treaty has asked for additional time from Town Oil and has been told to continue toward the loan closing and they would hold off on taking possession of the 60 million shares of Treaty Energy stock held in escrow as liquidated damages should the loan not close. Just to be clear, these shares are held in an escrow account in Kansas and can be converted from the listed owner of the shares to Town Oil at their discretion should the loan not close."
I found the wording of the PR a bit ambiguous.
It doesn't specifically say that Town Oil agreed to the date of April 1, 2011, only that the lender asked for that date.
And it certainly didn't say anything about any signed and notarized agreement to extend the date.
Without a signed and notarized agreement Town Oil can, if they so decide, call the deal null and void and take the shares that are being held in escrow at any time. Maybe they'll wait until April 1 and maybe they won't.
$6,000,000 - $747,394 = $5,252,606 that they need to come up with from a source other than the current well production of these leases.
If they default, what will be forfeited is:
the $900,000 in stock(60 million shares per PR released Feb 28, 2011) that has been placed in escrow as earnest money and all of the funds accrued in the "joint operating account".

Kind of makes me wonder how well this shareholder (Ron Blackburn, 'my assumption') is keeping the official management of this company up to date on his wheeling and dealings.
“In July, 2010, we sold a 5% interest in our investment in the Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited (2.5% of the total partnership interest) to an investor for $250,000 in cash.”
"We intend to finance the drilling of one to three wells by selling additional interests in our Joint Venture with Princess Petroleum Limited."

"Broke, no experience, but gets oil concession!!"
"Cho, however, put little weight on the fact that the partner of Princess, Treaty Energy Corporation, continues to be “in the red,” and with very little to invest in Belize."
"One of the investors in Treaty with whom we had a chance to communicate this week told us that many, including the Government of Belize, think that crude and natural gas reserves are “plentiful” in Belize."
"As to the partnership between Princess and Treaty, Cho said that although Treaty wants a stake in the Princess Petroleum production sharing agreement, the Government of Belize would need to approve it. However, Treaty can still continue works for Princess under the existing “farm in” agreement, of which he says the Government has received a copy."
