The original statement from the CEO was EDITED....

Definition of REDACT
transitive verb
1
: to put in writing : frame
2
: to select or adapt (as by obscuring or removing sensitive information) for publication or release; broadly : edit
3
: to obscure or remove (text) from a document prior to publication or release
Can't be much more clear than that. The letter was edited.
Given the response from the CEO has now been edited by someone, it makes it worthless. Since when do others have the right to edit something that the CEO has to say? How can one be selective in what is said by the CEO and released to the public but another is not?
If the CEO wants to make an official statement on a public message board, it should be made in full without editing by a third party.
Has the "run" started yet or did I miss it given the deafening sound of the "chatter"? WNBD will rise again!
It's ALWAYS about him. IMO this CEO has never considered the impact of his decisions on others. Ultimately we should pray for him. He certainly needs it.
it means that a continuing relationship to the firm was not required as a price for membership in the club.
As always..it's someone else's fault and yes the whole "hurtful" thing was pathetic..after all this CEO has done. smh
I posted the list so that anyone who comes in to this long worthless diatribe of back and forth will have some idea of what is being discussed. I did not post my own opinion and have found much of what Hope has posted to be alarming but I am certainly not going to jump up and down proclaiming it to be gospel. I've lived long enough to believe that until I see it myself...everything is speculative and every story is full of people's opinions based on their experiences in life. This WNBD board is no different.
The CEO has spoken. I asked for that a few weeks ago. The man has a right to defend himself against the accusations. I don't have to believe what Hope's emails elude to nor do I really care what the other poster that seems to know the CEO so intimately has to say. I have based my OPINION of this CEO based on years of experience with this stock and watching him run this company in to the toilet and taking many who were naive enough to follow him. The fins prove that and the pps proves that. Those are facts..that's all I need.
I believe it should have been blogged thus allowing ALL to see it but given this is a public board...I guess it makes no real difference in the end.
Now, now...the volume so far today tells me that this predicted run is "imminent"! Get in or get left behind!! Now that the CEO has taken 8 years to figure out all of the wrong things to do and given his very clear commitment (shown in the declining pps, decline in revenue and more than clear behind the scenes finance deals) to the common shareholder, I have no doubt he will change his entire business philosophy after all of these years and make this a profitable company. I am sure the CEO has seen the error of his ways and will become CEO of the year in Canada next year! lol
Yeah...that's gonna happen.

Yes..being asked before we could listen to conference calls was very bizarre and I have hard MANY MANY rumors around this but to see it clearly via Hope's email correspondence from the CEO does surprise me.
These latest emails written by the CEO of this company have never been public. I can only speak for myself but yes, I am still amazed at the depth of what I see as manipulation and begging. I often refuse to see the not so pretty side of people so I am often surprised.
The wolf in sheep's clothing is revealed yet again. I continue to be shocked by these emails from this CEO to you and most likely, you aren't the only one he solicited and clearly tried to manipulate to buy more stock just to feed his addiction of selling shares. Not sure why I continue to be shocked as more and more stories, emails, blogs and so forth are revealed, the deceit just gets more and more detailed.
Once again, thank you for sharing this message from the CEO to you. It is greatly appreciated.
I will make back some of their money for them.
GOOD!!! I hope people are able to make money here so go for it! Nothing would make me happier. :)
Your point? Hope is not and has not in any way said that he was forced to do anything. He is simply revealing the super secret emails and offers he has received from the CEO. His ability to sift through the garbage has proven itself given he didn't take the CEO up on his offers.
When was that rewritten? Do you know? That has not always been the language I have read there over the years. It's been pretty interesting actually how the language has change on the website over the last 6 years to add more and more disclaimers trying to excuse them from anything ever done or said.
Ego...ego...ego. The ego of this "man" is absolutely incredible and he and I exchanged emails over it a few times. I am not sure if it is because I'm a female that he felt I would buy his "charm" after realizing what was going on but it didn't work.
His use of words like "imminent" and other words that have no real meaning in business and only serves to delay telling the truth became quite nauseating and a daily comedy routine for many.
I imagine he is not! Your willingness to share them for the public to see casts a great spotlight on the "man behind the curtain" and most are not comfortable with that when there's something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.
As has been said before, it is greatly appreciated by those of us who have been here and hopefully an example for those who are new to this tier of trading of the kind of scum out there. Your honesty is admirable and don't let anyone try to scare you in to silence. Been there, done that.
Where were you 6 years ago with that advise?? Lol Good luck to you!
Lol! I do remember battling with you when I was a believer. I was one who wouldn't listen back then. Thankfully, I got out before the crash and didn't take a loss on this pos.
You've been around a long time and did everything you could to warn others. Bad thing about WNBD and other pennies, most rookies start at this level..only to learn hard lessons...quickly!
It is my hope that more information will be shared and that it is factual and 100% true. While there are probably thousands of worthless coward CEO's like this one out there, preventing this one from adding any more victims to his list would be a wonderful ending to what has become a nightmare for some really good people.
Loved Patrica Miles and her contribution to WB was remarkable. When she left...anyone who was paying attention quickly realized things weren't nearly as wonderful as the CEO tried to portray.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and background to help complete the picture of what is and has been going on. Things have been rotting with this company for at least the last 5 years. As a new investor in the penny stock arena...I was one who bought the "story". Thankfully I got out before taking a major hit like so many others did. So many dreams by the naive...crushed while the CEO sits in his fancy house on the lake. Probably a very common tale.
There are always three sides to every story. I know two sides of this drama and want to read what this POS has to say for himself. While I won't believe any excuses he comes up with (he lost that respect years ago), I believe like anyone being persecuted, he should have the chance to paint one more final "it wasn't my fault" (cue Blue Brothers/nun scene) picture for everyone.

Has there been no word from the CEO since the blog post on July 15th?
After all of the YEARS of constant memos to moderators, email responses, droning on and on during conference calls and then endless blog posts about every single negative word ever typed on this board calling attention to the mismanagement of this company...the CEO has nothing to publicly say about the incredible accusations being made about him? Nothing?
Maybe all of those the CEO attacked over the years were the ones with all of the "vision" he so eloquently beat over everyone's head and completely publicly chastised anyone who didn't have his special "vision". Deeming anyone who wasn't willing to believe in his "transparency" speeches and "good ole boy grass roots rah rah rah" effort as some how less intelligent than those who bought his story hook line and sinker. Then there was the congratulatory comment for those who bought at a certain PPS and how wise that was. When numbers started not adding up and when some started looking a lot closer at PR's and blogs released for the FACTS instead of the hype...that's when things got real for quite a few people.
While another long winded and self massaging speech is the last thing I would want to read from this CEO...I would like to read a reply to the latest information shared. For a man who never seems to run out of words...it's awfully quiet. I have no idea if any of it is true but believe he has a right to defend himself.
Maybe a response is "imminent".

What he was too ignorant to understand is the value all of us had. We were boots on the ground and willing to go to great lengths to help it grow. His ego and greed took over and guess who were the first ones thrown overboard? Hope's latest email release shows yet another example of attempted backroom deals and the fact that despite years of claiming that the protection of the common shareholder was of highest priority...he was more than willing to screw them over by such "deals". IMO
While it may cost a little to have the t/a release numbers..wouldn't that go along with the whole "TRANSPARENCY" garbage this CEO touts? I wonder if he throws up a little in his mouth when he even speaks that word given he knows what garbage it really is. LOL Given the latest fins..I doubt they can afford to buy lunch.
Everything in life is a gamble so you are so very right...again!
I have no doubt you know exactly what you're doing and wish you all the best!
Has the T/A always been gagged with this? Seems there was a time when they weren't.
Naw, It takes them 7-9 years to dilution this completely.
Happy Friday!! Here is a copy of the infamous "business plan". What stage are we at...after 8 years? All of that transparency, "grass roots effort", having "vision" and so on has worked out really well hasn't it!
GLTA
"The 10 year business plan targets sales growth from less than $1 Million annually to $100 Million. WBC has designed its business plan to pass through 6 Phases; Initial Operations Phase (Annual Sales less than $1 Million), Implementation Phase (Annual Sales of $1 Million to $3 Million), Growth Phase (Annual Sales of $3 Million to $5 Million), Self-Sustaining Phase (Sales between $5-50 Million), Established Phase (Sales between $50 Million and $100 Million), World Phase (Sales over $100 Million)."
When Patricia left...it was the first big red flag given she was instrumental in building this company and securing accounts. That was when I first saw what was happening. Then Lorne left...the excuses for this were ridiculous. Why would the two most important and integral people jump ship? If one looks at the timing and what was going on and at the failure after failure thereafter with this company..the answer is pretty clear. IMO
With all of the predictions of $$$$$$$, I would have thought they would have hit that buy button as soon as the bell sounded given the PR. Too many other stocks out there with far better profit making potential. IMO
Really??? What's coming?? I would love to know so I can decide what to do here!
Yep. It will go on a list with hundreds of other products...most of them people have heard of..unlike 1000+...that few have heard of.
Company is hoping this will allow more to be dumped in to any excitement this PR may generate without taking it to zero.
GLTA!
It always does. Still billions out there to dump so expect the blog to be busy trying to hold this thing steady as they try to rid themselves of this pos. Proof is in the fins, the public posting of emails sent by the CEO to shareholders panhandling for those ignorant to give him more money so he can keep himself in the manner he is accustom to and the 3(a)(10) settlement. Yippy-ki-a.....!!!
The transparency that this company has touted for years now is very true only it has flipped sides. It was used as a form of pride and the boosting of egos back then as they did an incredible job of painting beautiful pictures that when closely examined were made out of garbage. Many of us bought it...no question.
The real transparency now is in the form of past shareholders who see EXACTLY what was done, how the game is played and what continues to be attempted. Emails recently shared have shown proof of that, as if we needed any more proof.
Wow...he or someone dumped all over this today. The "news" is ridiculous as usual and has no bearing on anything. They have tested many times over for many years and the end result is always the same.."thanks but no thanks". The "to the moon" guys must realize that it is time wasted. Next dump has been scheduled already no doubt.
GLTA
Can't imagine what anyone would have confidence in. Despite a great attempt lately...it's going no where. imo
Sweetheart...I haven't said a word about the 45% loss as reported by others. All you are basing your info on is what the company says. What the company says..means nothing to me. All I care about are the numbers. They tell the whole story. All of the excuses in the world don't pay the bills.
Can that be verified or are you just going by a blog post? Sorry...don't trust anything the company says. I require proof now.
