I emailed him at b.lauzon@att.net, asked for a call, and he gave me his number. He did mention developments to come, along the same line as Chas. But he was more rational and sounded like a businessman, not a promoter.
I know I have been duped by the hype over the last year. So I'm really not going to get my hopes up until results are delivered, but it was reassuring. At this price, no sense selling.
I spoke with Brian Lauzon for the first time today and was reassured by what he had to say, and more important, how he said it. He was honest that things had been done below standards in the past, and he is determined to get it up to standards before signing off on any financials.
Good question. I've been wanting to email or otherwise contact him, his email has been included in several emails I received from Chas but I've deleted them all.
Does anyone have his email address? Post it on here so whoever wants to can right thoughtful inquiries into wtf is happening.
I still maintain this is worth $1+ or nothing at all, that's been my philosophy and approach this whole time. Nothing has changed with the company from .30 to .06; that's also the problem, nothing has developed...
But god, am I kicking myself for not selling a few at .30!
There's been a bid from Citadel for 650,000 @ .10 the last couple days, trying to scoop up some last minute deals I hope.
Talked to Chas Friday, same song, any day now....
I use finance.google.com, but any site should confirm. Chas also confirmed dilution to me when I met with him but I didn't probe into it with him.
When did this latest dilution happen?
We're now at 226mm shares outstanding. The last 10-Q stated 136mm, so expect we'll get some explanation in the upcoming filings. I wonder if the price drop from .30 to .12 happened simultaneous to the dilution or not?
Yeah, he's in Vegas this week so I'd guess end of the week or early next week at the latest.
Another media source reporting on CTDT that I've never heard of... nothing new in that regard, but I wonder why the reporter is highlighting the jewelry quality angle when management has repeatedly stated industrials is the first objective.
Do you think Snaper is holding things back?
What kind of incentives (and prices) we have to offer new financers is a big question mark.
I do wonder what Snapers larger interests are; as an 83 year old I know they are different than many of ours. I just wonder how that will play out. Time is limited so why can't we get going?
I'll take truth to positivism. This isn't a cheer squad.
Yes. It's not a sophisticated company; it has at least one amazing dreamer and for the rest, well results is believing.
I think they understand the importance of financials. Chas promised me within 30 days as of August 12th.
I do worry that there is no one who spends their day to day existence seeing to the success of Centaurus.
Chas is involved with several ventures, and though I'm not concerned anything keeps him from his obligations in the role he's in, there's no workforce in place to see to day to day obligations as far as I can see.
Back in March, I was led to believe things would happen soon. Well, they haven't. I do feel led on in some regards, but nothing has led me to say this isn't happening or isn't real. It will just take longer. And with greater market cap and revenues should come bettter management and leadership, in addition to a professional workforce.
I feel ya, as many times as I hit the reload button on my browser, nothing has changed for the last few months.
But I do believe things are changing soon, we just need to wait a little longer.
I didn't press for hard timelines, but the first ten are still expected to be out in a few months (1-3?).
I did see the design blueprints and the location where they will be built today.
I met with Chas and Alvin for breakfast Friday. I was encouraged by meeting them and hearing more details. I won't go into everything here but basically we can hope for financials to be up to date within 30 days, financing to build the Magnatech machines is likely to come and production commence in the next two quarters.
They also mentioned several other business ventures and projects that may come to pass
I've offered my services to work for them in PR/IR and in whatever method I can contribute. They've been receptive to that and I will meet with Chas some more in California this week.
I'm still holding onto a piece of my skepticism and will until I see sales, but this is what we bought and it's going to happen sooner than later!
If anyone has pointed questions, email me at clcass@me.com
I never meant to give any indication that anything per se is happening after the 11th, IT. All I know is they are having a board meeting this week.
I'm happy to give you his number, but I'm not calling today, I'm pretty sure I'd get some vague excuse. I'll call near the end of the week if nothing happens.
I share everyone's doubts. My meetings with them cannot come soon enough. I'll finally be able to get the measure of these people and how things are going.
This company seems to have only one point of contact at a time. Can someone remind me of the guy that formerly 'represented' the company with that off the wall blog?
I talked to Chas yesterday. Tentatively August 10-12 is when I'll visit. He also offered that two 10-Q's should be out this week, with the 10-K possibly not until next week.
Supposedly, but I haven't been able to get a firm date our of them. If we don't see financials this week I'm going to be very concerned.
In early August a major investor is visiting Las Vegas. Over the last two months I've talked to Chas about coming onboard in PR/IR and he suggested I visit at the same time. I really look forward to meeting face to face to learn more of the details and see if I can contribute to our cause directly.
Agreed. The latest I heard was that "it is in progress to be completed ASAP".
Tick-tock.
This is the OTC data, you can see April 14th it was only 13,000. If you're looking at something else I'd be interested in seeing if you can share a link.
http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/CTDT/short-sales
No, that's incorrect. SI is only 25k shares, less than one day trading volume.
I think you are referring to this article, http://www.bodyconfidential.com/stocks/centaurus-diamond-te-otcmktsctdt-shorted-shares-increased-by-37-43/39688/
There was also the first Seeking Alpha article mentioning CTDT I've seen, http://seekingalpha.com/article/3964280-synthetic-diamond-business-offers-investment-opportunities
I'm fairly optimistic filings and some larger media articles will come out in the next month, just hang tight, I don't think hearing from Lauzon is necessary until they have their house in order but I understand the sentiment.
This could be the week we start to see some media articles come out.
If so, we could see increased volume and prices as new investors come in. I am anticipating both increasing 2-3 times current levels.
Can't support those estimates with facts, just what I'm envisioning as a optimal scenario.
You have a link? Thanks.
So much for pre-market news...
CTDT - Big Move Imminent in CTDT.
(In case anyone here is alive, it's not too late to get on the real diamond tech winner)

Well, that figure is gross, not net. Meaning according to last reports only <40,000 shares were short interest.
Buyins.net and Chas are talking about off the book shorting, which I know nothing about, but that 75mm isn't real.

He called me back this evening, he's pretty good at returning missed calls over emails.
Pre-market news Tuesday is in the works.
He was recently interviewed by several financial writers that should generate significant attention and volume as their articles are disseminated through Yahoo and other media outlets.
On the following topics he promised that they are coming soon (no timeline, but it sounded like ~1-2 months to me)
- Release on a business plan that details margins and valuations.
- Up to date filings and 'promotion' to OTCQB status.
- Further build out and development of the the website's investor section.
From the interview on Wednesday, I expected to hear news yesterday, anyone think it will likely come out today?
I'm glad to hear they will place a new president. I think Chas was carrying the title for a couple months but it sounds like a better fit for him to be the PR/IR rep as that is his background.
I also am eager to hear about the new capital raise announcement. I would expect this to be dilutive of our shares but an accretive, or net gain.
Looks like I got back just in time!
I am copying a message from buyins.net below. Chaz sent it to me. I still dont understand how why anyone shorts a penny stock like this. Passing along for your own info.
Dear CTDT Investor Relations:
Here is your Buyins.net RegSHO Compliance Alert for March 14th, 2016. Our RegSHO Compliance Service helps to protect CTDT from short sellers and market makers that are violating the more stringent RegSHO market integrity provisions recently enacted. We are monitoring the trading activity in CTDT and here is today’s report:
Total Trading Volume: 45280 Daily Short Volume: 14200 Avg. Price of Shorts Today: 0.216 Short %: 31.36 Volume at Offer: 10080 Buy%: 0.000 Volume at Bid: 35200 Sell%: 0.000 Shares Crossed: 0.000 Cross%: 0.000 Net Buying vs. Selling: -25120 Price Change: 0.00000 Friction Factor: Abnormal Trading
The above data is used to calculate if a fair market is being made in the shares of CTDT. Friction Factor determines if there is normal or abnormal behavior in the price action of the stock when compared to the buying vs. selling trading statistics. Today, your Friction Factor was Abnormal Trading. Here is how to understand Friction Factor:
1. If Friction Factor is positive, more buying than selling caused CTDT’s price to rise 2. If Friction Factor is negative, more selling than buying caused CTDT’s price to fall 3. If Friction Factor is 0, there was no discernable activity either way 4. If Friction Factor is abnormal, it means that more buying than selling caused the price to drop, which is evidence of manipulative activity. In some cases more selling than buying can cause the price to increase. While this is rare, it must be noted as well.
By signing up for our RegSHO Compliance Service, we will monitor your trading daily and identify short selling, illegal short selling, manipulative market maker activity and alert the media when a short squeeze begins and when forced buy-ins occur because we were able to get broker dealers, FINRA or the SEC to force “buy to covers” upon short sellers that have not located, borrowed and delivered shares shorted by T+3.
Here are our unique data sources:
1. Nightly Threshold Security Lists ("Naked Short Lists"): data comes from AMEX, NASDAQ, NYSE, OTCBB, PINKSHEET exchanges directly. 2. Daily Size of Failures to Deliver ("Size of Naked Shorts on a day to day basis): directly from SEC 3. Daily Short Sales Times and Sales Data: data comes from AMEX, NASDAQ, NYSE, OTCBB, PINKSHEET exchanges directly. 4. Brokerage firms that trades go through: data comes directly from AMEX, NASDAQ, NYSE, OTCBB, PINKSHEET exchanges 5. Names and positions of short sellers with assets under management exceeding $100 million: data will come directly from SEC 6. Blue Sheet Data Requests: We deal directly with FINRA and SEC to alert them as to which stocks and which brokerage firms SEC and FINRA need to investigate. 7. Trading Statistics and Friction Factor are based on data provided by all US stock exchanges and proprietary analysis of the activity.
The data we provide is extremely useful for CTDT for the following reasons:
1. Stop naked short selling in the company you are covering 2. Break the market maker hold on Level II box causing so much price friction 3. Our SqueezeTrigger Reports that cross newswires and are sent to our 720,000 users help break the rest of the shorts 4. Discourage new short sellers from shorting your stock 5. Stop the negative perception that dropping stock price places on normal day to day business operations 6. Combined all of these facets help to stop the daily drain that the short attacks have on the company.
