Dang it - down again. Cue Rembrandt! EOM
I submit that it was a new company as far as investors and the market were concerned.
A company that no one but a handful of previously scammed investors had heard of was rising from the ashes with a product that the vodka-buying public had never heard of. And one that contained milk powder, of all things!
It wasn’t like Smirnoff put a new product on the shelf.
All sorts of flavors and new brands have hit the market, so Marani stood a chance if properly marketed by someone who wasn’t a lying, thieving, scumbag maggit.
In terms of price categories, High End ($20-$30 per spirits bottle) and Super Premium ($30+) grew the most in 2015.
High End increased 7.1% in volume last year, or $509 million in additional supplier revenue. This category represented 31% of gross U.S. supplier revenue (or $7.5 billion) and 20.5% of total U.S. spirits volume (or 41.1 million 9-liter cases).
Super Premium grew 6.5% in volume for $395 million in new supplier revenue. The category accounted for 20.6% of gross U.S. supplier revenue ($5 billion) from only 8.8% of total U.S. spirits volume (18.9 million cases).
Flavored vodka was down 1.1 million cases in volume, while traditional vodka went up 2.5%. The result: a revenue gain of only 0.5% to $5.8 billion. Total volume increased 1.8% to 68.2 million cases.
The ad does say several times that the product contains the patented Lacto-Freedom™ probiotic.
Lacto-Freedom Probiotic:
A new and unique patented probiotic that aids in the digestion of lactose containing foods...
We developed a better option:
With Lacto-Freedom™ probiotic, people may enjoy dairy products and lactose containing products without experiencing abdominal pain, gas, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, and nausea…
Q. Where is Lacto-Freedom Probiotic manufactured?
A. Made in the USA.
Where in the ad does Kenny proclaim the product is based on genetically modified bacteria containing a human gene? Based on his patent? Answer: Nowhere.
Who sips vodka?
It would be prudent for a new company with minimal financing to not overextend themselves by attempting to release a new, unknown product into 48 states and South America!
This wasn’t a genuine mistake by some overoptimistic novice CEO, maggit knew what she was doing because she’d done it before.
Was a fantastic sipping vodka.
Any new company with minimal finance will have a tough go at a world full of already established items.
Tustin, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 22, 2014 / Marani Brands, Inc. (OTC Pink: MRIB) (PINKSHEETS: MRIB) CEO Margrit Eyraud redirects container of Marani Vodka Spirit to the Port of Los Angeles. Due to a large national retail outlet the demand for inventory has expanded greatly in the past two weeks. This container was approved for release to Brazil. Due to additional paperwork needed, the product has not left port and is now redirected to the Port of Los Angeles. Marani Brands has multiple containers ready to ship to Brazil once the appropriate paperwork is finalized for release.
NEWS! That’s all folks - It’s all over!
MedGen is no longer a functioning entity (as I’ve been saying for months)
But go ahead and keep buying those .0001s! LMFAO!
Something fishy here?
Willam G Goode is an attorney that apparently represents Peachtree Capital.
The bottom of his webpages still list the same Holbrook Court address that MedGen used to use.
William G. Goode is listed on Peachtree Capital’s 401K profit sharing plan, so he’s part of Peachtree Capital AND east Main Stock Transfer?
WHOA! I just discovered that MedGen is no longer a company!
Where can that information or email be found? I don’t believe it was ever posted on the MDIN board, but I will if you provide links or post it here.
Why would FINRA have blocked the merger but let both scams continue operating?
Same Ray/Manny that tried to pull off the ANAS merger with MDIN but according to Ray Barton FINRA pulled the plug on it.
You call it averaging down, I call it digging a deeper hole.
Throwing good money after bad.
Flushing money down the drain.
Throwing money away.
Etc.
Etc.
Instead of doing that, shareholders should be combining resources and investing in an attorney to finally put one of these pinky scammers behind bars.
Has lying Briggs been arrested yet?
Should be any day now for Farton - MDIN dead, ANAS dead, MNZO dead, EEGI dead (Peachtree Capital was involved in financing).
They can’t dump unless someone is buying.
So the question is..who’s reckless enough to still be buying this SCAM, and why?
Oh No! Marani scam is down again.
I sure hope it recovers by the end of the day!
How are those .0002’s lookin' now?
Looks to me like they just got a whole lot cheaper - better stock up!
You posted too soon.
What a complete waste of money on green paint! - $5 per day + fees adds up.
I guess I should throw mine up for sale because .0002 is .0002 more than they’re worth.
I may believe in Santa Clause, dragons and Hogwarts, but I’m not crazy enough to believe that Accrue app is real!
I agree - lets go somewhere else!
You really believe the thief had a "warehouse full" of vodka shipped here? LMAO
First of all, I doubt maggot had more than 50 cases shipped here.
Second, if there was any just sitting around, she’d be selling it somewhere. Even $5 per bottle is better than letting it sit and rot. I’m sure there’s at least a few stores in states where she was approved who would throw up a display of it at $10 apiece.
And maybe she’s done just that - we wouldn’t know.
There might be nothing left but a smile on her face and money in the bank.
Where’s the buyback?
With the stock sitting at basement level for so long, why hasn’t the company been buying back shares if there was really something going on behind the scenes and they were expecting a breakout?
That alone should put an end to the misguided hope some investors have about a recovery.
Shareholders really need to get FINRA to look into this scam!
There’s been nothing but fraud since Nicholas Chieco first took over, and every CEO since has continued perpetrating it for Farton.
There’s no shortage of proof of fraud here - they left a long trail of deceptive announcements.
And apathetic shareholders just bent over and took it all like a train, one CEO after another.
They swallowed every load of BS the company shot their way.
That’s why Gay Farton and the other pinky criminals have no concern at all about making outlandish claims with no basis in fact. If they thought there was even a remote chance of FINRA getting involved, they might think twice, although *********** like Farton are too drawn by the easy money to care.
OTC ENRICHMENT SCHEME GAME PLAN
Step 1: Buy shell company for dirt.
Step 2: Make wild, preposterous revenue forecast that surely no one would believe - the wilder the better, like $23,947,641.12 (the 12¢ was a nice touch, and what they actually made in 2013).
Step 3. Kick back and rake in the money from dumbass investors while smoking cigar and laughing at how ineffective and useless FINRA is.
Step 4. Continue releasing illogical, unfounded news as long as the money continues pouring in.
Step 5. R/S or disappear in the night.
Step 6. Repeat.
And yet, still selling. [shakes head]
Some mysteries in the universe are just unexplainable.
ABSOLUTE TOTAL SCAM.
Everyone knows a pinky stock "consultant" would never lie. LMAO
Just like a CEO would never lie (I know one that’s had 4 lying CEOs in 4 years).
Who’s the consultant, Romerio’s brother, cousin, significant other, college pal, coworker from prior McDonalds job?
Something big is coming. Really big.
Company consultant Adam Weiss said the following in an email:
"We are working on an acquisition. To bring this back we knew we needed something with several million in revenue and assets, a real solid business with an operating history. I can't say much more than that but I believe what may look like the biggest stinker of the year will be the biggest success of the year very soon. We are trying to do this with no dilution so its tricky but we will get it done."
Now the bid suddenly comes back and starts building? This has to be preparation for something very big. I think in all likelihood, another company is preparing to take over. A new team will come in and Romario will step down. I think we are looking at an incredible RM here, not just an acquisition.
Waiting for conclusions on a few things then will release comprehensive update.
We have some things to address in the background that have delayed us/taken much longer than expected but we are still in business
If you’re lookin’ for a turkey, you found one!
CEO has been stuffing investors’ butts full of lies for years.
They claimed to be whipping up some nutrition bars, but evidently the stove wasn’t working because they never made it to the table.
Now the chef has left the building and hasn’t been heard from in over 5 months.
I LOL yesterday after reading this profoundly bombastic statement from the Sept. 7th PR about the pretentious app.
Possibly the most exciting innovation to the financial industry since online banking, the company’s new main product, Accrue™, will connect to a customer's bank account through online banking interfaces, allowing them to set pre-determined amounts starting as low as a penny, increasing that amount each day for a pre-determined amount of time, and transferring that amount into the persons saving account, making it easy to save up a significant amount of money with minimum impact to everyday life. The application is based on years of research based on the psychology of how people save money.
What would they sell? An idea?
Lots of people have ideas, and better ones!
The only people more foolish than Romerio are the ones still buying this stock!
WHY?!
Is it your investment strategy to diversify by adding scams to your portfolio to offset the profits from legit stocks?
If you hurry and get some shares before this sucker bottoms out again, you can count on losing 50% when some daredevil gamblers take 'em off your hands for .0001.
So investing 10k tomorrow will almost certainly lead to a nice 5K in losses by the end of the month.
There seems to be no end to the line of people wanting to lose money.
Good luck with that!
Current L2 including depth someone?
Yippee!
$350 raised today for the crooks. Should be enough to run another PR and still afford candy canes for the Barton brood.
When’s sweet ol’ Ray gonna step in and forgive all of MDIN’s debt like he did for EEGI?
He already destroyed ANAS, and let the 4 stooges ruin MDIN.
I see no chance of MDIN ever repaying their debt, so why not erase it?
After all, he claims to be such a saint who only wants to help the "mostly honest hard working shareholders."
Good afternoon. I am Ray Barton, I am a consultant to the company, financier and sole debt holder. I am glad you asked Kenneth the question you did because in reality, I really think my company and I have been very unfairly slandered. Let me start by saying I have been in the small cap markets for over 15 years. I spent a year as a series 7 licensed broker in 97-98 and went into market data feed technology because I didn’t like the unethical behavior I saw at brokerage firms. I have since been the CEO of dozens of public companies, and I have put together mergers, acquisitions, and funded hundreds of millions of dollars for small cap startups and development stage companies. This can be checked and verified. Second important fact is that I am a retired NYPD Police officer and I am a current New York State Peace officer (reserve police officer). I am actively listed in the New York State Peace Officer Registry and that can be checked and verified. Because of that, you know I had to go through extensive psychological screening and background checks, and everything that goes with it. Furthermore, I have never been in trouble, not once, never had so much as a parking ticket. I’ve never been sued, I’ve never been arrested, I’ve never been named in any investigation ever. If I have been “scamming" for 15 years and never even been looked at by authorities then I must be the best super-villain scammer in the world...
OK, so let me tell you about what I do and where I am going with it. I find private companies that I think will be huge, and i match them up with pink sheet shells that they can acquire inexpensively. I fund the company the money they need to merge and become freely trading. I only do this if I can purchase all outstanding debt because I don’t want these scumbags like NIR Group (no longer in business) dumping shares. Once I own all debt and the company merges, I hedge my investment (usually costs $30K to $60K to bring it public) by converting some debt [between 5% and 9% of the outstanding shares] into equity and I hold it until I can liquidate some without hurting our project’s shareholders. With this, I have a couple rules that we follow:
1) never use VFIN or VNDM (or any known dilution mill)
2) Never hit the bid
3) never sit on top of the ask
4) Never sell more than 1% of the daily volume in a given day.
For this reason whenever I liquidate some equity, nobody gets hurt. Nobody even feels it. These companies like (you know who...) they are just stupid and short-sighted, they blast out billions of shares and move on. I see a bigger picture here. I think this model can be applied THE RIGHT WAY. An ethical way, and a legal way. Now look, I’m not here to BS you. In fact I am going to be painfully honest. The money has to come from somewhere, right?…I’m not doing this as a philanthropist. We are in the pinks and NOBODY is writing a $100,000 check with no prospect of getting it back anytime soon. So, I look to recoup that investment plus 20% over the course of the first year. Over that time, it is true that I may add as much as 20%-25% to the float, but this is so small in the scope of things. These scam companies out there literally add 500% to a float in hours sometimes, so I feel its unfair to be put in their class. Look at NSAV, you’ll see exactly what I mean. The only reason I know about NSAV is because an associate of mine almost got involved with it but I saved him from it and recruited him to be the CEO of one of my clients, MDIN. of course, because of that “connection” that the armchair detectives made, I am also unfairly accused of being involved with NSAV but they are SEC reporting and you can easily check it and see I am not…I have no involvement with NSAV at all, zero, but you can see right away that NSAV looks nothing like MNZO or EVDR, EEGI or any of my deals. None of my companies ever show ridiculous volume, because I am not dumping billions of shares. I am trickling out tiny amounts over a long period. Keep in mind I write real checks…I am at least $100K into every one of my deals, sometimes five times that, and it comes back in spades over the course of years not days. Aren’t I entitled to make a profit if I am willing to risk that much money? I think that is fair and reasonable. I am also taking an active part in growing their businesses and making priceless connections for them, which is why you will see some of the same companies doing deals with more than one of them. Wouldn’t it make sense if I have a connection with a partner to introduce him to other clients? Of course! The armchair detectives see it and automatically say its a scam. That’s just laughable. In real business people refer those they already know and people have more than one client so don’t let the few bashers who actually make no sense and claim falsehood that can easily be checked corrupt your common sense.
In closing, I will tell you that I feel so strongly about the ethical and moral correctness of what I am doing that I am working on two projects. The first is a corporate website being launched within 2 weeks at www.peachtreefund.com that will not only explain what I do in detail, but it will list all the companies I am involved in, my cash investment in them, the amount of debt I hold, and how many shares I have been issued. I do not have to do this, but I want to because I want people to see how transparent I am. The second is something NOBODY in this business has the balls to do. Especially, if ANYTHING they do is even close to a grey area…I am in the process of registering to be a licensed broker-dealer. Yep, that’s right…My fund will soon be a BD. To do that I have opened my books to the SEC and FINRA, so they see everything I do, every share I’ve been issued, and every share I sell. I must have compliance systems and reporting procedures in place so there’s noting I can hide. I also have to retake the series 7, 63, 24, and 99. Why would I do this? Would I do this if I were a “scammer”? No, I do it because I want to show this can be done "the right way" and still be incredibly lucrative. That you can build real companies, with real businesses, and I am hoping that by doing this I start a revolution in the way pinks are funded and hopefully we can put the NIR type scumbag scam firms of the world out of business. I don’t want to name names but you know who they are. I believe private companies can become non-reporting pink sheet companies and utilize that vehicle to raise money so they have a shot without fleecing shareholders, and I intend to prove it. My BD name was already approved by FINRA just last month, and with the help of my attorneys, I have already filed the form BD. Next step down the road, a year from now or so will be to become self-clearing so all the overhead and cost associated with the levels upon levels of ridiculous compliance that clearing firms ordinarily have to lay down can be absorbed by me and not transferred to the company who is struggling already, or the shareholders who are mostly honest hard working people.
Its a shame that just a few very small minded people on some message boards would condemn what I am doing, or who I am without even checking the facts. They are ultimately crushing these stocks by slandering my name with absolutely not a single shred of proof at all. Ask them for proof and they will give you nothing that you can check, I challenge any of them to show some proof that anything I have ever done was unethical. I would also welcome any of them to my office to talk face to face so i can explain it to them because they would never have the guts to call me a crook to my face. Not because I am intimidating at all. far from it. Because they are dead wrong, thats why.
OK, I know this was a long emaIl, I just had to get that out of my system. I am doing my best to support Ken in his efforts, and I am working with him to get this project fully funded and making history as I do with all my projects. If you have any questions about me or MNZO please feel free to email me. I may not get back right away but I try to answer all emails eventually. I’ll do my best to get you the answers you need.
I wish you the best of luck with your investments, and I hope you are blessed with huge success.
Have a great night.

DAMN STRAIGHT!
I hear this biatch, she gonna run all the way to .0002 this fall!
Of course it’ll crash right back to .0001 for another 7 months, but who cares about that?
ALL ABOARD!
I expect they said,
"Mr. Romero, we have hundreds of millions of dollars.
If we need a shitty little finance app, we’ll pay a teenager to build one for us. Or we’ll buy one of the hundreds already on the market.
After looking at your website, our bank wouldn’t hire you to design an app that reminds us when to clean the cat’s litter box.
Good day sir, don’t let the doorknob hit you where the good lord split you."
Wonder what the banks have said to a poorly made app?
In my experience, pinks never do anything without delays and excuses (and flagrant lies and fraud).
Maybe some legit ones do, but I haven’t seen any of those. I hear tale they do exist, but I’m pretty sure that’s ancient lore, like an honest politician.
So anyone knows what's the hold back with moving the domicile? you would think they could at least get one thing done without a hiccup/delay/excuse
Oh jeez.
If that were the case, EVERY pinky CEO would be in violation!
At least every one I got scammed in.
Does this include interim CEOs that say the deal of the summer is coming up and pump his own stock. Then goes quiet when the deals fall through?
WooHoo! Back up to 4 decimals.
She’s on a major run now!
GO SCAM GO!
How many times does it need to be explained that Snorenz Medicated was a COMPLETE FAILURE?
Back when the company was still posting financials in an attempt to continue the scam, it was undeniably proven that it was a failure.
We’ll see who's a fool when 2s clear whether news breaks or not.
Not like they’re not in business because I ordered a bottle of Wide Awake last month and turns out they are in business.
MedGen ?@MedGenInc Mar 24
Also, just because we don't tweet. We DO respond to shareholder emails.
There will be a day in the not so distant future soon where 2s will get smacked and taken out completely...happening sooner than you think
Long overdue for Ray/Briggs’ to drop news
