Scovillez - Your wording seems to cover it. I think it would be better if a shareholder asked Pagnano about this with a request like you wrote in your message. Unfortunately, it appears as if many shareholders are not concerned about doing DD. Many are hoping for a quick pump/dump pop so they can sell.
As often happens with HRNF; by the time the shareholders realize what is going on, Pagnano has dumped billions more dilutive shares and there is little hope of selling shares for anywhere near what they were bought for.
We now see the outstanding share count heading for 3 billion shares, up from around 35 million shares earlier this year. Pagnano is obviously repeating his dilution nightmare busoiness model once again, while paying for fluff press releases to keep bagholders hooked.
silver - that's the same stuff longs were trying to tout during the scam man Mario Pino's days at the helm of this company. We all know how that one turned out. He is in trouble with the law and the SEC.
The company has partnered with other companies during this process.
....
So, how much of the company has PYCT given away to each of their new "partners"?
We all know they owe the $5 million already, only for "rights". Patents still owed by others.
Maybe the lack of financials is because they cannot or will not disclose just how much of the company is being given away in the form of shares. Maybe Pillay's son isn't willing to put out financials like that, especially since he recently got out of grad school. Did Pillay's son move to Canada, too? Did he pass his CPA exam? LOL
My info on HRNF from sunbiz.org
Note: you can also find all those judgment liens against the company (World Golf Enetrtainment Holdings/World Golf League) there, too.

someone else looked for business licenses for him/Heathrow in florida and I'm not sure if he is in florida anymore.
hop-on has no viable internet gambling position in the market. The already-established companies a foothold and are already ready to convert from free to paid gambling.
HOP-ON has nothing even in the works on this.
Mikie trying to hide from the court and judgment liens against his company in Florida? His company owes huge amounts of money already and we know HRNF doesn't pay its obligations.
No, I don't need a response. The SEC tipline and FINRA are the venues for the question when DD shows that there appears to be no companies by those names and one suspects there may be a false press release again by the company.
I welcome any info that supports the validity of the press release. So far not one person here has been able to confirm the existance of the two "premier" distributors (as HRNF calls them). A simple address and phone number for each would allow confirmation by those doing DD. From my observation, Pagnano seems to provide as little info as possible, so shareholders cannot do adequate DD.....given HRNF's track record with believable info in their press releases (IMO).
superstop - there are no shorts. There is no naked short problem, as disclosed by the company as part of their stock audit.
Of course, you already are aware of this.
What divvy, what name change?
Isn't that what Mario Pino used to try to do. create 2 worthless shells from one?
The SEC is cracking down on co's that try to do this.
Maybe it is more likely they just do a 1:300 reverse split, so the market cap and share price can more easily drop and they can continue dumping dilutive shares, since they are almost flat broke.
It looks like they will need to write-down many of the assets they are currently carrying on their books, also.
gapper - the question would be about the fact that people doing DD cannot seem to be able to confirm that these companies actually exist.
Correct company name, address, telephone number would be helpful for those doing DD.
Morning - still no financials. I guess Tom can't answer that question?
Did hre comment on, since they are almost flate broke, how many shares will be needed to pay for costs?
LEGISLATION WILL HAVE NO AFFECT ON HPNN
They have no viable products or applications for gambling. Not sure if they have any real products for sale anymore.
Float is now 2.6 billion shares, per HRNF
Maybe the last PR was meant to help support the latest round of dilution coming.
I mentioned before that those doing DD should try doing the math. Just how many discounted shares at $0.0003, $0.0002, or less will it take to get the $3 million in financing that HRNF says it is trying to get?
Can you say TENS OF BILLIONS more shares needed?
Will HRNF have to retract the last PR?
Maybe Pags is trying to create a little distribution company in those states, kinda like the Upwon arrangement created with his buddy George Calvi (shares for cash deal disguised as a membership promotion deal).
I can't imagine Target Corp. or Supevalue will like someone associating their respected companies with so-called distributors that no one can seem to find actually exist.
I just wonder where those memberships really went, along with the cash? Upwon supposedly got a cut from every membership they cliamed was sold.....LOL
binkers - A/S raised to 5 billion shares....ouch
Just saw it on pinksheets. Moderator, please update I-BOX with the new share structure. Looks like the dilution nightmare is getting worse.....fast.

Outstanding Shares
2,600,000,000 as of Oct 9, 2009
Authorized Shares
5,000,000,000 as of Oct 9, 2009
Float(shares)
2,600,000,000 as of Oct 9, 2009
Shareholders should be VERY CONCERNED about that last PR HRNF put out.
They should be asking Pagnano if these co's even exist and ask Pagnano to prove it by listing an address. If Pagnano did, in fact, sign an agreement with these so-called companies; he should be able to verify the address and phone number for both MCIM and TP Global. If he cannot or admits these co's do not really exist, shareholders should contact regulators (FINRA or SEC.GOV's tipline) out of concern for what Pagnano put out to his shareholders.
I'm now wondering if either of these co's have business licenses in those cities? Since Pagnano called them "premier", one would think they would. Maybe "premier" means they don't exist, but may "premier" at some future date? So far, no one has found evidence these co's even exist.
Mikie, please 'splain to us. Was that just to try to gain credibility by mentioning Target Corp. and Supervalue? Remember when you mentioned major networks and the golf channel while dumping billions of shares? Is this just another scheme to allow you to dump billions more shares on unsuspecting investors?
super - company has around $1,500, that's it.
Read their financials. They have no money coming in at all. They have around $3,500 in their customer's money (customer's deposits) from the Paychest payment processing business model failure. Can you imagine they will ever return that money to their customers?
They have not disclose current cash burn rate and how many shares they are dumping to stay afloat.
You can also guess that they will need to start writing down those almost-worthless assets they are still carrying on their books.
If there are no real co's with these names, then the SEC and FINRA should be made aware that there is a potential false and misleading press release issued by the company.
Has anyone found any evidence that there are real companies (distributors) by these names?
A shareholder could also email Pagnano to ask for the addresses and/or telephone numbers for these supposed distributors.
Is there even a real company named TP Global?
This is getting even more suspicious. What is Pagnano trying to do?
Nope - HRNF's PR could be bogus - there is no MCIM Trading in Plymouth, MN.
HRNF is even calling MCIM a "premier distributor". If it is, then why are there no real co's by that name and the Better Business Bureau has no business by that name on its list for Minnesota or anyewhere else in the USA?
Still may check to get Target Corp's general counsel to react the the PR. They often do not like co's claiming or implying relationships with the company and take action to prevent association of their company name with co's that do things like that.
Doesn't appear that Target does biz with any co by that name.
What is HRNF trying to pull?
I remember when this company tried to tout UPWON as the one distributing golf membership for the company. It turned out this was a George Calvi company (Paganano's buddy) and it was more a shares for cash deal disguised as a real WGLF membership releationship.
Calvi is also now a part of Heathrow......the plot thickens, and it doesn't pass the smell test, IMO.
Is HRNF already at their share auth limit of 2.5 billion shares?
Does anyone know if they have already raised the auth to 5 or 10 billion shares (Delaware) so they can continue dilution?
Being at their share auth limit might be the reason the volume has dropped-off. If at their limit, HRNF can't dump more shares until they file a new limit with Delaware.
I'm guessing they will need to raise the limit to at least 15 or 20 billion shares because of their desire to get $3M worth of financing. Do the math to see how many shares at a 20 or 30% discount they will need for $3M.
Schlumpy - it is not Pagnano's EXFUSE. He is only one of the many multilevel marketing scheme (MLM) distributors that paid a fee to the EXFUSE company to be so-called distributors.
As far as the gum goes, it looks mostly like HRNF is doing no manufacturing of the product. It look like they are probably just have a company that already advertises the gum let HRNF put their label on it. That company already offers "sample" blister packs of the gum and helps co's with the packaging art.
I am still of the opinion thsat HRNF's main business model is dumping dilutive shares at steep discounts for cash so they can stay afloat a little longer. Then they just reverse split and dilute even more.
So, no MCM Tading in Plymouth, MN?
In HRNF's latest PR, they indicated that MCM Trading of Plymouth, MN would have so-called distribution rights to Target Corp. and Supervalue stores.
Several search methods reveal no such company in Plymouth, Mn. Search of Minnesota businesses and through the Better Business Bureau reveals no Minnesota or US companies, either. Is this another Pagnano bogus press release?
Also, I guess HRNF doesn't understand Target's rules of doing business. Does Pags really think Target would ever accept a product from HRNF?
Hopefully someone lets Target know Pagnano is doing his little fluff press releases, using Target Corp's name to try to associate a reputable company (Target) with HRNF (questionable management, disclosure practices, and HRNF does not pay its obligations).
Thus, the pinksheets warning about PYCT.
here is the warning, found when clicking on the big red stop sign (no information), when viewing the quote on their site.
Indicates companies that are not able or willing to provide disclosure to the public markets - either to a regulator, an exchange or Pink Sheets. Companies in this category do not make Current Information available via Pink Sheets News Service, or if they do, the available information is older than six months. This category includes defunct companies that have ceased operations as well as 'dark' companies with questionable management and market disclosure practices. Publicly traded companies that are not willing to provide information to investors should be treated with suspicion and their securities should be considered highly risky.
wrong - there are both stock promoters and tout sheets trying to pump this to help people sell at $0.0001.
Now it is only the manipulation that is keeping it from no bid. As long as someone bids for 500 or so shares at $0.0001 the bid stays there. It is not likely to be filled easily because a seller knows that many shares will not even cover the commissions for the trade.
Call the company - they are fully aware of who is being paid
It is also indicated in their disclosure
superstop - maybe you could learn more by:
Going back to time of the higher volume during the pump/dump. Look at some of the posters then. Look at what "club" boards they are posting on. Look at some of their posts during that time on the club boards. You may find your answer here.
You can also see posts from others here during that time that admitted there was an email stock promotion going on during that time, similar to Mario Pino's fax stock promotion pump/dumps.
I hope this helps answer your question.
Maybe that's why Pillay moved operations to BC Canada?
His other company WMDH turned into a grey shell, while PYCT only got a bid due to the stock promotion wenbsites helping with the touting. I wondcer how many shares they got to help shares get unloaded prior to the need for a reverse split.
With 20-some billion shares issued, it is likely this will be right back to no bid soon.
Is there even a company called MCIM Trading in Plymouth, MN?
or is this another one of those Upwon-type companies. Not clear if that company has any distribution with Target stores anywhere in the USA.
schlumpy - get a clue, please
If you did so much DD on other posters here, could you not do enough to avoid getting stuck with 50M HRNF shares? Did you also notice that your propotion of the overall share pool is now miniscule, compared to when you bought your shares? The dilution is now going to get even worse, through HRNF's own admission.
You now know that there are now 2.5 billion shares issued and outstanding.....the latest authorized limit.
HRNF is trying to finance $3 million to "reduce the float". So, the sell shares at a steep discount and supposedly buy them back at a much higher price? What kind of business decision is that?
Maybe you can understand why some post about companies that seem to put out misleading information, all while they are dumping shares on the open market. Some may call it a pump/dump operation. Some may call it touting your own stock so you can avoid disclosure about share structure/dilution, so the stock price that the companies are dumping discounted shares for cash to stay afloat does not fall as fast as it normally would.
Try doing DD on the company and stop blaming people you call bashers. DD would have allowed you to avoid owning such a poorly-managed company.
Doesn't mikie first have to register those shares for the conversion. There is no guarantee that "the board of directors" will vote to approve such registration anytime soon. Thus, "the catch", as you described it.
gapper - they don't have to accept cash or shares from the company. They are still a tout sheet. See old news.
Others, including promoters, do the touting..
S.E.C. Files New Set of Internet Fraud Lawsuits
Published: Friday, February 26, 1999
Securities and Exchange Commission sued 13 people and firms in six states today, contending that they had defrauded investors by using the Internet to pitch companies that paid them to promote the companies' shares.
In the commission's second nationwide crackdown on Internet promoters, it accused authors of on-line newsletters, World Wide Web sites and Internet junk mail with misrepresenting the companies' investment prospects or failing to disclose that they were getting paid by the companies.
The promoters, who purportedly provided unbiased opinions in their stock recommendations, received more than $450,000 and 2.7 million shares of stock and options from the companies, the commission said.
In one case, the commission said that P. Joseph Vertucci, president of Interactive Multimedia Publishers Inc., and a stockbroker, Bruce Straughn, schemed to pump up Interactive's share price by paying publications to promote the stock on the Internet. When Interactive's price rose, the commission charged, Mr. Vertucci, Mr. Straughn and several others sold their shares at a profit. The stock subsequently collapsed and the company ceased operation, the commission said.
In another case, the commission said a former broker, Scott P. Flynn, promoted 10 company stocks on the Stockprofiles.com Web site in exchange for $180,000 and 322,500 shares from the companies. Mr. Flynn's investor relations firm, Strategic Network Development of Minnesota, which was also charged, sent unsolicited electronic mail to 500,000 potential investors recommending low-priced stocks he was paid to tout, the commission said.
In a third case, the S.E.C. said that Arthur Max Ramras and his firm, RCG Capital Market Group Inc., touted nine stocks on its Web site in return for cash and stock options from November 1998 through last month. Mr. Ramras and his firm failed to disclose the compensation arrangement, the S.E.C. said.
In its first Internet fraud sweep in October, the commission filed 23 cases against 44 people and companies.
So HRNF is paying another stock promoter?
Must be getting desperate to dump even more dilutive shares. Maybe thet raised the A/S to 5 or 10 billion shares, too?
They were almost at their 2.5 billion share limit at last report from the T/A.
Shares were being dumped at well below $0.0001 prior to the recent stock promoters trying to pump this thing. Penny stock co's often pay stock promoters with shares to help tout the stock, so even more dilutive sharss can be sold.
This also might be why PYCT gave the updated share count info just prior to the recent message board/paid stock promoter activity increase. Third parties also can pay stock promoters to help them dump shares. The long "NO BID" condition, soon to return to NO BID, may be the reason for the recent pump/dump.
Correct I/R is being paid with shares
No need to call Tom, the facts speak for themselves.
So PYCT is already $5M in debt and doesn't even own the patent? Wow! Plus they have been dumping shares to pay for lots of stuff, too.
It looks like the selling will go on unabated. No wonder the message board pump/dumpers are trying to get the gullible to buy shares. They obviously know there are/will be tons of shares for sale and PYCT probably will require a reverse split soon so they can keep dumping shares and can find a way to pay for operations (they only had around $1,500 or so cash, plus customer deposites they are required to return after the failed Paychest money transfer operations stopped being pursued.
Reverse splin being planned?
Market cap is much too high already, and a reverse split will then allow the PPS to drop 95% or so after the do a 1:300 or so reverse split.
No wonder they can't do timely financials.
Sure, superhoops - pump/dump now being run from the message boards.
How's those spam faxes going, too?
That's ok. There will be little chance to dump your shares once the selling begins in earnest.
