OH MY GOD!!!! This is so ridiculous!
Colonel All*n Klink, a.k.a Mr. "I will sue you", wants your personal information to join his PalTalk room or he will censor you to death.
I guess free speech and other peoples opinions are a threat to his regime. One may also ask what he fears may be repeated in his PalTalk chat room?
To join the room, you will have to supply a few items. 1. A copy of your driver's license with your information, picture and signature all legible. 2. A copy of a utility bill, corresponding to your address on your driver's license. 3. You will have to sign an agreement related to you, as a room member, being the only one who will use your passcode and that in the event you pass out the passcode to anyone else, you will be subject to an injunction, specified damages, and responsible for all attorney’s fees and costs in prosecuting the claim. 4. Lastly, you will have to supply your IP address so that I can confirm at anytime that you are posting from where your address is on your license.

Attention CMKX’ers - New Paltalk Room Opening:
What will you be?
Will you simply be another victim of market fraud - AGAIN? Will you be another American who sat by and did nothing while our country was financially destroyed and turned into a 3rd world nation, leaving a legacy of debt and enslavement through taxes to your children? Will you be just a sheep led to slaughter? Will you be all of the above, or will you at least take a shot of standing tall and demanding one thing that decency demands for us all - THE TRUTH AND NO MORE LIES!
I, personally, am fed up with all the lies. Acca/no Acca/ - sting/no sting - naked short/no naked short - fair funds/no fair funds - screwed over/not screwed over - settlement/back to trading, etc... At this stage, we are not getting any accuracy out of the feds, we are not getting accuracy out of the company, we are not getting accuracy out of the banking community, we are not getting accuracy period.
Remember, it was the bankers and the corruption in government who got us into this mess in the first place. Ask yourself, is it intelligent, is it wise, is it logical in the slightest to trust any of them now? Remember, screw me once, shame on you - screw me twice, shame on me! Well, no more for me.
As far as the company itself, clearly, we have an issues with the company as well. I personally am fond of Bill Frizzell, and from what I know of Kevin, I believe him to be a nice fellow as well. If I had to bet, not knowing them really well, I would personally believe them to be generally honest and working for our betterment. But my personal feelings here are not the issue here, the truth is. If truth is the real issue and honest disclosure to shareholders is the real issue (and the legal duty), then why did our attorney argue to the judge, May 10, 2005, that the company had evidence of a 2 trillion share naked short; and yet, the company recently signed off and stipulated to a judgment regarding the April 7, 2008 complaint by the SEC, admitting to the statements that no NSS existed, instead only unregistered shares in the 600B+ range?
What does this admission by the company equate to for us? With that stipulation, we have just seen any lawsuit we had for breach of contract, fiduciary abuse, fraud, RICO, conspiracy and a host of other causes of action against the prime brokers, the MM's the SEC, the DTCC and any other entity that did us wrong, fly right out the window, because the company fully agreed by the implicit admission of not contesting the facts (not contesting the facts = an admission) that no naked short existed.
Now, I thought that after this event took place, to cover up from the public at large what had to be covered, and save face for the feds, we would promptly be paid. I thought that 30 days would be more than enough time to get the checks out the door, because now, the cover story has been put in place and if they sent us reparations for the injustices deemed committed against us, all they would have to do is couple that judgment (for the public's view) with a non-disclosure for us to keep silent, and the "saving face" of the feds would have been accomplished. Unfortunately, these events did not transpire in such a fashion, leaving me extremely concerned that we gave away the farm by admitting that there was no NSS and in the end, the government and the banking community could still screw us because now, we can sue nobody except a few insiders who are likely broke. Certainly, the longer we wait for payment, the greater the chances that the screw-job on us could be a reality. Yes, it would take complicity from the insiders for this to happen, and although I believe them to be honorable, and I hope that they would not betray us, it is clear that very real threats of death and/or pay offs have happened in history before. Nothing is beyond corruption of some sort, even if I do not want to believe it applies here.
So, although I believe the players to be honest and working for our best interest, I take these positions based upon the assumptions of good character, hope for the best, and what little I know of these men personally. Without knowing these men personally - VERY WELL, such assumptions are issues of faith. No disrespect to anyone, but the only one I have ultimate faith in is our Lord Himself.
We have been told that matters long ago have been resolved. If we believe Acca, clearly a person sent here to entertain us from the feds and/or the company, then this matter was concluded long ago; and yet, here we are now with it only 90% concluded. We are basically back, near square one, because if we have not even negotiated the deal yet, there could potentially be more years in the making for anything to be addressed in full. We do see the objective reforms in the market, we do see the banks and hedgies going down, but in spite of all that we see, does it 100% for sure mean that we will get paid? After all, this government has done their citizens wrong in the past, even conducting thousands of unethical experiments on our own people. If you think that it is not impossible for someone or some people in government to screw us, then you are viewing the world through a different set of bifocals than I.
So, what do I propose? I will be starting a room in paltalk sometime after June 1. I will ask people who are committed to raising he11 on this issue, raising he11 with the government, raising he11 with the SEC, raising he11 with your congressmen and senators, raising he11 with your governors and attorney generals, raising he11 with the media and raising he11 with any and every entity that we can possibly raise it with. As stated, I am tired of the lies and I do not feel that the vanity of the feds in wanting to cover up their misdeeds of the past is a priority over the human dignity attached to deserving the truth. Sorry, but everyone has to draw a line somewhere and after 5 years in this stock and listening to 4 years of unfulfilled promises, this is where I stand.
The room will be relatively open for the first couple weeks, but it will quickly evolve into a closed room - members only. I will ask that any person seeking to join be completely dedicated to one thing: to make our voices heard and to point out to the powers that be that no longer will we passivle sit around and be lied to and treated as we have been for the past several years. Remember, some of us have been fighting market manipulation for a decade or more and we have been both mocked and promised reform and nothing concrete yet have we seen that constitutes real justice.
To join the room, you will have to supply a few items. 1. A copy of your driver's license with your information, picture and signature all legible. 2. A copy of a utility bill, corresponding to your address on your driver's license. 3. You will have to sign an agreement related to you, as a room member, being the only one who will use your passcode and that in the event you pass out the passcode to anyone else, you will be subject to an injunction, specified damages, and responsible for all attorney’s fees and costs in prosecuting the claim. 4. Lastly, you will have to supply your IP address so that I can confirm at anytime that you are posting from where your address is on your license. I know that these requirements are stricter than most, and I know it will likely limit this room to less people than others, but I would rather have 50 -100 dedicated people moving in one direction as a force to be reckoned with than 1000 people all over the place and/or disrupting our goals.
Please understand, as much as there have been countless lies handed to us regarding CMKX, there have been numerous liars delivering them. Many people will try to infiltrate this room and disrupt it and/or betray our objectives. Being that we are only to be there with a common goal, the room will not be for open discussion about the issues related to if we should be taking action. That is not why we are there. If you are not committed to the stated objectives of the room before you get there, you will politely be asked to leave. If you start contradicting the objectives of the room, you will be bounced. Again, this will not be an open discussion forum, so if you wish to debate the issues related to organizing and raising he11, you really do not want to be there. Remember, there are many other rooms to visit on paltalk.
After the first, I will be putting this concept together, so it may take a week or two to get the room open. Once it is, you will be asked to spend a little time, probably no more than you spent in the other paltalk rooms, writing letters, making calls and sending faxes (emails to congressmen are not read and almost always deleted). We need the very best from you now to make a difference - we need your desire for justice to make a difference - we need your dedication. If you are willing and able, keep your eyes on paltalk investments for a new room sometime around the 15th.
Best wishes and good luck to us all.
Sincerely,
Allan F. Treffry, Esq.
P.S. If it is your concern, I will not be soliciting any legal fees, nor do I want to represent the shareholders in any class action lawsuit. However, I am not excluding the lawsuit option if our other efforts are unsuccessful. However, no such action will be taken without open discussion of the board members on that matter.

I've seen every accusation thrown at UC. I have yet to see one piece of confirmation. Only suppositions and inuendo.
If you want confirmation try reading these two sites. There should be more information in the following weeks.

Degenerate AND insane. But then perhaps he's hoping for a transfer to a psychiatric facility.
Remember he threaten there would be a "corporate Waco"? There were message board posters that actually applauded him for that statement. Now they just ignore news stories about Fluffy.
Still he has a few supporters left. They're as crazy as he is.
But back then, he actually believed the "paid basher" myth.
One can only hope after being up close and personal to the man that threw the Petro Plus/CMKX shareholders under the bus and watching how he operated, Frizzell can now understand what motivates a basher.
For example, I read a letter on RB tonight. If Captain Fluffy really DID write that letter he is even more of a degenerate than I imagined. He is properly placed, imo.
And don't forget that Frizzy's had to retract a number of his more outlandish statements. Of course he didn't really "retract" those statements, he just stopped making them.
It's interesting looking back at some of Frizzell's communications.

Greetings Members,
I would like to take the time in this update to discuss several items with you.
Appeal Process: Many of you have read the company's response to the SEC's Motion For Affirmance. I have received nothing from the Commission which suggests the Motion For Affirmance will be granted. As it stands right now, a brief from the company will be filed on or before September 6. The SEC will most likely file their response by October 6. The company will have until October 20 to reply to the SEC's brief. Mr. Stoecklein and I spoke yesterday about the brief and we have agreed to collaborate in the preparation. He has already begun the briefing. I will probably be asked to offer input after the first draft is completed. Mr. Stoecklein is a competent attorney and I expect the brief to adequately cover things from the shareholders' perspective. The wording in the order makes it apparent the Commission does not desire a brief from me or any other party. In order to file a brief on behalf of the shareholders, I would need to obtain permission from the Court before doing so. I do not plan to do that.
Litigation: Thanks to some incredible work from some of your dedicated shareholders, I have been able to keep abreast of many lawsuits that have been filed in the last few months against parties that are involved with CMKX and your investment. It appears to me that there are individuals and companies who have been the victims of some unscrupulous stock deals and they have hired lawyers to file suits to obtain redress. I am becoming convinced that litigation may be necessary on your behalf against some third parties to allow me to obtain all the facts necessary to help this group. As you may know by now a certain individual opened numerous trading accounts in 2003 and 2004 at a well known Nevada broker/dealer to facilitate the sale of hundreds of billions of shares of CMKX stock. Short selling no doubt occurred once it became known in the market that nearly 800 billion shares of CMKX had hit the streets. A lawsuit against certain parties would greatly assist us in obtaining the facts necessary to identify all parties involved in any trading improprieties and will allow us to accurately identify the short sellers. If I decide to bring any lawsuit, I will obtain permission from the shareholder that will be the named plaintiff or plaintiffs in the lawsuit. Any suit will not be brought on behalf of the CMKX Owners Group. There will be no individual shareholders named other than the individuals I select to bring any claims. If I brought a lawsuit on behalf of the CMKX Owners Group, I might be required to spend the next couple of years attending the depositions of 6,000 or 7,000 shareholders or responding in discovery to requests for documents from all of the 6,000 or 7,000 shareholders. This would of course be a waste of the shareholders time and mine. There is concern that a lawsuit by a small number of people would allow u! s to obt ain some huge financial settlement for only those named in the lawsuit. Damages will clearly be sought against those that may be sued. The damages sought will relate to the losses incurred by the named plaintiffs. If a lawsuit went extremely well and certain defendants wished to offer any serious sums of money for settlement, it would be simple to ask the Court's permission to assist us in some way to apportion any recovery amongst the shareholders. I am not a class action lawyer and do not plan on bringing a class action lawsuit. If a class action of some type is in order, I will cooperate with such lawyers for the benefit of all shareholders, but that is not my desire nor my purpose in this potential litigation. Any lawsuit, deposition, subpoena or discovery that I might bring will benefit all of the shareholders if it benefits any one shareholder. I have been litigating cases for 27 years and I know the task I am undertaking if I choose to bring litigation. I will only do it if I am convinced I have no other avenue of obtaining the information I am seeking and there is no other way to get redress for the shareholders. This will not be a suit against the company nor Urban Casavant at this point in the proceedings. John tells me there are those that suggest a lawsuit would yield tons of money for only those that I choose to name as a plaintiff so what good would it do for the shareholders. Remarks like that are very unsettling to me. I have become very thick skinned to some of the remarks I receive from a select few. I do not respond to those that choose to make personal assaults on my integrity or my courses of action. I know that my efforts are helping the shareholders and I plan to continue to do so.
Private Party in Tyler--Last week we were honored here in Tyler to have Hugo Cancio and a production crew come to my office for filming segments of Hugo's documentary on the saga of CMKX. Hugo felt it important that he document all sides of the CMKX story including the plight of the shareholders. He has been to Ecuador, Canada and Las Vegas with Urban and other insiders in the company. He is producing a story that needs to be told. Knowing that Hugo would be in town, I suggested that John invite some of the shareholders from this area to drop by while Hugo was here. Some were interviewed for the documentary. Some of your well respected shareholders came here from Northeast Texas and East Texas to meet Hugo and have a little fellowship. John invited us to his home after a long day of videoing around the office. The fine lady shareholder that allowed me to stay in her home when I went to Washington last month was able to arrange her travels to spend a night in East Texas. I took the opportunity to share a select few documents that we had obtained as a result of months of due diligence by this office and many dedicated shareholders. You have some shareholders out there that spend endless hours researching and investigating various aspects of this case. Their hard work is paying off. I would not dare name them because it would embarrass them and they are not doing this work in order to draw attention to themselves. Please know that I (and all the other shareholders) will forever be indebted to you. Kudos to all of you that are helping to shed light on the problems facing this company. Much talk has occurred since this meeting about my choice to show only certain information and only to certain individuals. I scanned in a handful of documents and did a brief video presentation of some of the documents. I did not hand out any copies of the information. I did not pass out pencil and paper. ! ; It was a short show and tell. Some of the information was disturbing because it was the first time some people had seen an explanation of how these shares hit the market in such a short period of time. I have posted on the owners group site www.cmkxownersgroup.com a copy of a ledger sheet with some handwritten notes that was prepared by someone for Neil Levine as he was working on the audit before the administrative law hearing. We have entitled this document the "Share Distribution Breakdown". This was obtained by me as an item of discovery that went to all parties during the preliminary phases of the administrative proceeding. This is not the "smoking gun" that solves all riddles of the CMKX story but it is very helpful in explaining some things that bothered me (and I assume most shareholders) for a long time. How in the world can a company get nearly 800 billion shares into the market place in such a short period of time? Sometimes documents like this create more questions than answers. Believe me, we are working on answers to the questions that come from documents such as this. The facts surrounding the stock distributions will all come out when the company files it financials. Combine this document with the shareholder information which Pedro has provided you and you can start to piece this thing together. I have obtained mountains of information and more comes to my office on a daily basis. My practice is dedicated to this case alone. Those of you that suggest I am hiding information for some sinister self serving purpose should give more thought to that idea. I am simply bound by laws regarding confidentiality and common sense in the release of most of this information. Many shareholders have been to this office and you are all invited to see what goes on around here on a daily basis. You are! all wel come. We are all in this together.
Communication--Several people have asked about the level of communication between my office and the company. We are not having problems getting each other on the phone. I talked with Don Stoecklein yesterday. He called me while Urban, Ed Dhonau and Anthony Demint were in his office. We discussed the brief and suggestions were made to leave from Vegas to go to Ecuador after the Labor Day weekend. I expressed my desire to meet and discuss the plan for the shareholders and the present state of the claims and various businesses that make up CMKX. It is the company's position that it would violate SEC rules to selectively disclose information about assets and significant activities to certain shareholders (our owners group) without disclosing information to all shareholders. We agreed that such disclosure could occur if I would agree to make my updates following or simultaneously with an 8k. I am hopeful this will facilitate better and regular information from the company. Sorry, but I have no dates to give you on when this might start occurring. I have stated that we have no problem with such arrangement.
Rumor Busting--I hate to be one to burst some hopeful bubbles, because I know the anxiety many of you experience when a rumor begins to fly. I have not been involved in any discussions about settlements with any parties. Neither the company nor any third party has seen fit to call me with any discussions of settlements or even facts that suggest a settlement is in the works. If there is talk betweent he company and any third parties, I am not privy to such talks and have not been told of any. I cannot tell you for a fact that there are no discussions of settlement. I can simply tell you that I have not been involved in any discussions with anyone about settlements. John Martin has likewise not been contacted about settlements being offered by anyone. It will be one cool update when I can relate the substance of any such discussions with you.
Evaluation--I can tell you that I am comfortable in saying the claims represented by the company are being maintained. I make this statement based on reports from third parties that should be "in the know". John and I decided several months ago to make it a part of our investigation to determine as best as we could the existence and value of the claims which we have been told belong to the company. We have paid people on the ground in Canada to give us information about the claims. We do not have a figure for the $value of the claims in Canada, but I am convinced there is substantial value for many reasons. Our investigation reveals there has been a drilling program that continues as we speak. We hope to get more information for you as to the results of the drilling. The last PR about the drilling results probably did more harm than good. I believe we can get better information to you. I have told Mr. Stoecklein that I have some acquaintances of mine in the Oil business that are researching the area and there may be interest the oil concessions on our claims. It will take a another couple of weeks but I plan to continue my efforts in this regard.
Phase II--Some questions have been asked about the status of my work as Phase II or Phase I. The original (Phase I if you will) employment agreement clearly states that my agreement to represent the owners group concluded with a decision by the Administrative Law Judge. This decision was handed down on July 12. John suggested a Phase II because the work we had begun in addition to the administrative hearing representation was far short of being complete. We began receiving contributions and Phase II agreements before the Judge's decision came down. Many of you have not only contributed to Phase II, some have added contributions above the requested $25. Your funds make it possible to continue the work we have begun. I am thankful for your contributions of course. But I am equally thankful to you for the words of support and encouragement that sometimes comes along with your signups. It gets discouraging when hard work gets mocked and ridiculed by certain people. There are a select few out there that seem to delight in being critical, sarcastic and demeaning to our efforts. If I am forced (and it appears I will be) to begin litigation, Phase II will be expensive and could take quite a long time to resolve. If I did not believe it would be helpful to the overall cause of this representation, I would not consider it. I am starting to believe it will be mandatory. John and I have agreed not to do separate updates to Phase I and Phase II members. I hope we do not have to revisit this decision. I have been honored to represent the shareholders as a group. I feel honored to work for the individuals I have met personally as a result of this representation . I wish there were a way to meet all of the group members. This group if it stays together will be a force to be reckoned with. The bad guys would love to see a fractured broken shareholders' group. After all, isn't! that ho w most shareholders do when their investment goes sour? They just run away, bad mouth the promoters and write off their investment losses. A strong shareholders' group can make a difference. We can have disagreements and work them out like mature intelligent people, but we must stick together.
Naked Shorts--In my opinion we have proved the largest naked short in the history of the market. Will these illegal acts benefit the shareholders? There are many factors that must come into play, but I am very encouraged. Management has not "run off". The real assets of the company appear to be in place. It will only take a few deals to get done before these huge short position will be at the mercy of the marketplace. I look forward to that scramble.
Caveat--I do not advise any one to buy or sell stock based on the information contained in this update. You are advised that an administrative judge has ordered a deregistration of the securities of this company because the company has failed to file financial reports required by the SEC. There are serious complications to trading your stock if the de-registration order becomes final. Seek competent advice from a competent investment advisor before deciding to purchase CMKX stock.
Onward,
Bill
LOL!! Took 'em long enough. Bua's been dirty forever...
I thought you would appreciate reading about Bua. LOL
Bua was probably high on the SEC's radar of attorneys they would have liked to bust. Maybe the SEC is finally serious about putting an end to the easy money that these scams provide for attorneys writing opinion letters.
Speaking of lawyers, did you see who got nailed for writing an opinion letter?

U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 20598 / May 23, 2008
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Global Development & Environmental Resources, Inc., (U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Civil Action No.8:08-CV-993-T-27-MAP filed May 22, 2008)
SEC Charges Six In Connection With Pump-and-Dump Scheme and Fraudulent Private Offering and Settles Fraud Charges With Attorney
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Global Development & Environmental Resources, Inc., Darko S. Mrakuzic, Dante M. Panella, Anthony M. Cimini Sr., and Philip Prichard with securities fraud for their participation in a fraudulent scheme to evade registration requirements and engaging in a "pump and dump" stock manipulation scheme. The Commission also settled fraud charges against California-based securities attorney, Carmine J. Bua, who authored a fraudulent legal opinion, which authorized the issuance of purportedly unrestricted Global shares. Further, the Commission charged defendants Prichard and Pietro Cimino with conducting a fraudulent private offering of Global stock.
The Commission's complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, alleges that from June through August 2005, defendants engaged in a complex scheme to evade the registration requirements by obtaining a fraudulently backdated convertible promissory note, using a forged assignment to assign the note to three foreign entities and then converting the note into unrestricted Global shares. The complaint alleges that defendant Bua drafted the assignment and legal opinion letter authorizing the issuance of unrestricted shares, despite possessing information which undermined the validity of the note and its subsequent assignment.
The complaint further alleges that the defendants then engaged in a "pump-and-dump" scheme by arranging for Global to issue numerous press releases that contained false and misleading information relating to Global's purported clients, pending contracts and revenue projections. According to the complaint, at least one entity defendant Mrakuzic controlled sold illegally issued Global shares into an artificially inflated market generating profits of approximately $1.2 million. In addition, defendant Panella sold illegally issued Global shares for profits of nearly $1.1 million.
The complaint also alleges that during July 2005, defendants Global, Prichard, and Cimino conducted a private offering of Global stock and provided investors with offering materials containing many of the same false and misleading statements contained in the press releases. According to the complaint, Global raised approximately $2.1 million through the offering, the majority of which Prichard and Cimino misappropriated for personal use.
The Commission's complaint charges: Global with violating Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rules 10b-5 thereunder; Prichard and Cimino with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; Mrakuzic and Panella with violating Section 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; and Cimini and Bua with violating Section 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act and aiding and abetting violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. In its complaint, the Commission seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement, prejudgment interest, civil penalties, penny stock bars, and officer and director bars against Prichard, Cimino and Cimini.
Upon the filing of the Commission's complaint, and without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, Bua consented to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining him from violating Section 5 of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and to a penny stock bar. Bua has agreed to pay disgorgement and civil penalties in an amount to be determined at a later date.
The SEC acknowledges the assistance of the British Columbia Securities Commission with this investigation.
SEC Complaint in this matter
She is the brainstorm behind all these crazy twists this year
Yeap! Cerie IS the Survivor mastermind of all time. From the very beginning she had the game mapped out. First she agreed to join the alliance of four on the condition that Amanda and Pav would be the final three with her, and they vote out Yau-Man. The only person that ever saw Cirie as a threat was Ami, who wanted her out. Cirie won that battle.
Last night Cirie took the game to a new level. When Nat asked if she was going home Cirie told her yes. Then when Cirie came up with the idea to have Erik give Nat the idol, she began to orchestrate the plan. Instead of convincing Erik to trust her, Cirie managed to twist it around and Erik had to convince Cirie to trust HIM. That was brilliant!
Cirie takes Amanda aside in the cave and told her she and Pav must "blast" Erik at tribal council while her and Nat stay quite. Cirie gives an excellent speech about how anyone can redeem themselves and Erik hands over the idol to Nat.
Cirie SHOULD win the game but I doubt she will. But who knows what this jury may do? They may decide on who is most deserving at the last meeting. Questions will be brutal, imo.
Sunday night will be exciting. And someone is going to win $100,000 from a fan vote!

Dr Wonderful, Very Important...
I am very surprised at your panic behavior. I spoke to you over the phone and you have my number to call me personally if you ever have the need to wonder where I am at.
To answer all of your BLDV questions, I recommend you go back and read my posts. If they don't provide the answers you are looking for, then wait for news to get the answers "officially" from the company.
I do not work for the company so even if things were told to me by the CEO, it still is not "official" until it is "officially" released by the company.
As for selling, it is generally none of anyone's business, but I will answer you this one time in that I have not sold one single share of BLDV as actually I had averaged up to buy more shares at .012 per share. I am also waiting for the dust to clear from all of the panic to buy more. I am trusting my DD on BLDV. I wish you well.

If I am getting you mixed up with someone, my mistake and you have my apology.
Still, just call me now at 210-387-7957 and we can talk now about BLDV if you like. Or, like I previously posted, go back and read my posts. If they don't provide the answers you are looking for, then wait for news to get the answers "officially" from the company.

Is it true Sterling...dumped today?
He was the one uber-hyping this position, with much speculation and conjecture. He made mention of Wednesday's being a BLDV PR day, which likely caused a spike in buying up through yesterday.
Sterling began accumulating here weeks ago, but did not hype till it jumped to .003 (did not hype until he was fully in?)
Sterling, a question for you: When last did you purchase shares in BLDV? (Within the past week would seem to obsolve you of any shennanigans. But did you STOP accumulating BLDV...the day BEFORE you STARTED HYPING BLDV???)
Sterling seemed to discount the concerns and arguments from seasoned investors (rick65) about Nexgen's place in a RM scenario, and the consequences for BLDV holders, and a Reverse Split necessity before any jump to any board.
Sterling is very quiet today, yes? Is this because he is out celebrating with the wife and kids???
(Sterling likely became...a millionare today, people)
The BLDV website being down today is suspicious, to say the least (could this be an covert attempt to cause a buying frenzy based on "Reverse Merger this/new website that"??). Did Moaning issue shares today? Does he need cash to make startup purchases? That old rusty school campus in Beliz? Does it need...painting?
Just how WELL do Sterling...and Moaning...know each other?
Are they in bed together? Why cannot any one ELSE speak with this Moaning fellow??? (I have tried, believe you me).
Do Sterling and Moaning have...a "special" relationship?
yours,
Rick (apple)
Ps If Sterling did play us this way...my respect for the man grows even greater...my fellow suckers.

Without going into my whole life story, I think you have me all wrong. Please understand, I will never "intentionally" deceive or mislead anyone. Heck, if I do so for being stupid at times, then I can't help that (LOL).
I will organize a post I usually make on all forums I own shares in and tailor it for this forum. I think it will be helpful for you and anyone who might feel as you. It might be helpful for all too. Hopefully it helps you to better understand me as an investor.
Please understand, in trying to answer your BLDV questions and concerns, I recommend you read the IBox. If the IBox do not provide the answers you are looking for, then wait for news (or filings) to get the answers "officially" from the company. Still, it's ok to agree to disagree if you feel different than I.
PS - Not that it matters, but I don't remember saying that we would be getting news on Wed. If you find the post or where I stated such, then I would gladly stand corrected. I do remember saying that we should be getting news soon though (or very soon).

Conversion Solutions asset assignor draws prison term
2008-05-02 14:59 ET - Street Wire
Also Street Wire (U-*SEC) U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
by Lee M. Webb
Conversion Solutions Holdings Corp. asset assignor David Alan Hawkins, the man behind a purported $310-million Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) security note that featured in the company's smelly promotion, has been sentenced to four years in prison for a fraudulent mortgage scheme in which he scammed $1.56-million from a financial institution. (All amounts are in U.S. dollars.)
As previously reported by Stockwatch, the convoluted mortgage scam involving purported foreclosures, illegal conveyances, bogus title insurance and fraudulent mortgage applications turned on some of the same invalid liens supposedly underpinning the touted $310-million UCC note that Mr. Hawkins dealt to one of Conversion's predecessors.
Mr. Hawkins's accomplice in the mortgage scam, Texas lawyer Harry Skeins, has also been sentenced to a four-year prison term. Mr. Hawkins is now 68 years old and Mr. Skeins is 72 years old. After serving their time in the slammer, the aging fraudsters will be subject to three years of supervised release.
The April 25 judgment issued by Judge Ricardo S. Martinez of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington also calls for restitution of $1.56-million fraudulently obtained from a mortgage lender, but the interest requirement and fines are waived because the defendants are effectively indigent.
Among other things, special conditions of supervision order the defendants, both of whom advanced unsuccessful "diminished capacity" defences, to participate in a mental health program.
On April 28, Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Skeins filed appeals to the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. According to the April 29 time schedule order from the Court of Appeals, the matter will be deemed ready for calendaring on the first available date after Aug. 28.
Hanky-panky
To this point, neither Mr. Hawkins nor Mr. Skeins has asked to be released on bail pending the appeal decision and it is unlikely that such a request would be granted.
Following the conviction on Dec. 14, 2007, Mr. Skeins did file a motion to be released from custody pending sentencing, but that motion was denied.
In opposing the disgraced Texas lawyer's Dec. 17, 2007, motion to be released on personal recognizance pending sentencing, the prosecution suggested that Mr. Skeins was a lying philanderer who had perjured himself and could not be trusted.
According to the government, it appeared that Mr. Skeins perjured himself and obstructed justice during his testimony at trial.
"Much of Skeins (sic) testimony was simply incredible," the prosecution claimed. "To use one specific example, he denied having a romantic relationship with his legal assistant, although he admitted living with her. His denial was echoed by the young woman on the stand."
While 72-year-old Mr. Skeins's alleged sexual exploits with his young legal assistant, Sabine Comstock, might seem rather far removed from a trial about a fraudulent mortgage scheme, the prosecution argued that the matter was relevant because of the fraudster's unsuccessful diminished capacity defence.
"As the court recalls, Skeins' divorce, and its impact upon him, was central to his defense," the prosecution noted. "Portraying himself as the wronged victim of a vengeful wife and a vindictive judge was essential.
"Admitting that he sought the divorce, or that his misconduct precipitated the divorce, would therefore cripple the defense."
The prosecution went on to serve up some snippets from a Dec. 18, 2007, conversation with Mr. Skeins's by then second ex-wife, Paula Williamson, who was living at the former couple's Texas ranch.
"According to her, one ex-employee of the ranch walked in on Skeins and the legal assistant in his room, and witnessed her laying on the floor in her underwear," the prosecutor reported. "Skeins was present in the room."
The government lawyer did not elaborate further, but evidently the prosecution did not think that Mr. Skeins and Ms. Comstock were discussing briefs, at least not of the legal variety.
"Another, different employee found her underwear in Skeins' bed while cleaning up after him on a different occasion," the prosecution continued. "In short, Skeins appears to have perjured himself, and to have procured the perjured testimony of another witness in the process."
Mr. Skeins's lawyer did not think much of the prosecution's gossipy account of a posttrial chinwag with his client's ex-wife.
"The government's example of Mr. Skeins' alleged romantic relationship with Sabina Comstock is based on triple hearsay from his ex-wife," the defence lawyer noted. "Ms. Comstock testified at trial and explained that she has a father-daughter relationship with Mr. Skeins.
"If they were going to lie they could have said that they were not living together, rather than explaining the nature of the relationship."
In support of his client's characterization of the relationship with his young legal assistant, the defence lawyer submitted statements from Mr. Skeins's daughter, Susan Knudsen, and his brother Ray Skeins.
In a short, printed, spell-it-like-it-sounds note, Ray Skeins stated "there is nothing between my brother & Sabina romanticly and sexuily."
Ms. Knudsen offered more detail in her declaration about her father's relationship with Ms. Comstock, claiming that she "never ever felt that there were any romantic or sexual feelings between the two of them."
"I can say that Sabine Comstock has said on numerous occasions that she looks up to Harry as if he was her father," Ms. Knudsen wrote. "My father is 72 years old and I feel secure knowing that he has someone to take care of him ... cooking, cleaning, laundry, driving him to the doctor and to the store."
After stating that her father had informed her about a year ago that his then-wife Ms. Williamson had accused him of "cheating on her with Sabine," Ms. Knudsen went on to offer some hearsay of her own.
"My father told me that he had not cheated with Sabine and that in fact it was Paula (Ms. Williamson) doing the cheating," Ms. Knudsen stated. "My dad told me that Paula was cheating with Phil, a family friend.
"I was told that my father witnessed Phil performing oral sex on Paula."
It is not clear just what consideration, if any, Judge Martinez gave to who was doing what to whom back at the ranch, but he denied Mr. Skeins's motion to be released pending the sentencing that was handed down on April 25.
Club Fed
Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Skeins have been locked up in the Seattle detention centre since being convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and two counts of wire fraud last December, but they might soon be moving to other facilities.
At Mr. Hawkins's request, Judge Martinez recommended that he serve his time at Sheridan Camp in Oregon. Mr. Skeins asked to be sent to Camp Bastrop in Texas and the judge obliged with a similar recommendation.
Camp Bastrop and Sheridan Camp are minimum-security facilities primarily housing white-collar criminals and other non-violent offenders.
Mr. Hawkins's requested accommodation, Sheridan Camp, receives some fairly boosterish reviews on an Internet prison talk forum.
One prospective inmate facing a 10-month sentence wanted to know the relative merits of Sheridan Camp and the Seattle federal detention centre.
"Good god man, there's no question," a helpful poster using the alias "bluesbassgirl" replied. "My man has been both places. SeaTac is awful. Sheridan Camp is a dream next to SeaTac. Go to Sheridan. Really."
Bluesbassgirl has been a frequent poster to the prison talk forum, remarking that her only prior experience involved visits to "pretty heavy state prisons like Monroe and Walla Walla" and marvelling at the atmosphere at Sheridan Camp.
"I was astonished to see how many people in their 50s are there," she wrote. "It's not like a state prison at all, with the gangs and the racism. There are some people who like trouble and will make trouble, but mostly it's really mellow people.
"A lot of white collar stuff, and a lot of low level drug stuff. My man said he's met more millionaires since he's been there than he ever did while free, and he sold multi-million dollar computer systems!"
A family member of a man in his 60s sentenced to 12 months and a day had a list of questions regarding health care, furloughs, visiting privileges, working and so on at Sheridan Camp.
Zelda50 chimed in with a few answers.
"Medical care at Sheridan is pretty good," she wrote. "Furloughs are at the discretion of the warden. The visiting is NOT through glass. The camp is very relaxed.
"There is a big farm that a lot of the inmates work on. There is an outdoor track, handball, softball, etc. No fence around the camp. Pretty laid back."
Indeed, with their dorm-like accommodations, medical and dental care, education programs, recreation facilities and, among other things, low staff-to-inmate ratios, prison facilities like Camp Bastrop and Sheridan Camp are called "Club Fed" by many observers, including people inside the U.S. justice system.
Conspiracy continues
As previously reported by Stockwatch, the fraudulent mortgage scheme that led to the conviction of Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Skeins is rooted in events that happened more than two decades ago.
In the early 1980s, Mr. Hawkins's construction company, Mad Dog Builders Inc., collapsed after a shady lender, Queen City Savings and Loan, yanked the financing for his Seattle condominium project as it was nearing completion.
After years of unsuccessful legal battles that left Mr. Hawkins convinced that his efforts to obtain satisfaction were repeatedly thwarted by the skulduggery of trial and appellate judges, lawyers, bank executives, county officials and others, the Mad Dog principal took another approach.
In the early 1990s, Mr. Hawkins and Mad Dog began filing non-consensual liens and an "affidavit of obligation" in Washington's King county against a number of entities and individuals he believed had conspired to wrongfully frustrate his lawsuits related to the Queen City dispute.
Mr. Hawkins named more than 50 alleged principal and accessory lien debtors including the United States of America, seven judges, at least six lawyers, a number of bank executives, and a handful of county officials, among others.
Mad Dog and Mr. Hawkins subsequently transferred their purported interests in the liens to Pacific Beach Mortgage Co. Inc., another company he controlled.
In 1994, however, a Superior Court judge struck the liens and associated documents, but Mr. Hawkins, evidently convinced that he was the victim of a vast conspiracy, just ignored that order.
Several years before teaming up with Mr. Skeins to use the invalid liens in the mortgage scheme, Mr. Hawkins bundled up the bogus liens and a spurious affidavit of obligation into UCC security notes that he attempted to flog.
As previously reported, one of those UCC notes ended up in the hands of Conversion's founder, semi-literate Georgia promoter Rufus Paul Harris, and was touted as being worth $310-million. In fact, the note, like all the other UCC notes Mr. Hawkins tried to peddle, was worthless.
While Conversion was still touting the UCC note as a $310-million asset when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Mr. Harris and the company in October of 2006, Mr. Hawkins evidently never received the promised $40-million payment for the note.
Indeed, Conversion never paid for any of its ballyhooed assets, which were touted as being worth more than $7.3-billion by the time the SEC filed its complaint. All of Conversion's assets were bogus.
Given that Mr. Hawkins is now headed to the hoosegow for four years and is on the hook for $1.56-million in restitution, the fraudulent mortgage scheme turned out to be even more of a bust than the worthless UCC note scheme.
Evidently Mr. Hawkins's latest misadventure has strengthened his conviction that he is the victim of a conspiracy. Indeed, his list of conspirators seems to have expanded.
Notwithstanding the fact that he was represented by a public defender, Mr. Hawkins submitted more than a dozen pro se filings and motions with the court after being convicted.
Among other things, Mr. Hawkins suggests in his filings that the Internal Revenue Service, bent on keeping him destitute, is improperly hounding him for $460,000 in unpaid taxes and that FBI agents stole $4,000 in cash from his apartment when he was arrested.
Mr. Hawkins also claims that his own public defender, Robert Goldsmith, filed a "totally inflammatory, demeaning, derogatory and fallacious" trial brief while "totally ignoring many boxes of exculpatory evidence relevant to a case that stems out of a lost jury award due to judicial misconduct, and Hawkins usage of the universal Uniform Commercial Code to gain an administrative remedy when judicial corruption cover-up continually denied Hawkins recovery of his massive losses in the banking scandals of the '80s."
According to Mr. Hawkins, after taking the place of another public defender who did not see eye to eye with the defendant, Mr. Goldsmith "flippantly prejudiced and actually misrepresented his own client's case and stand on the matters of fact and law in this case as being 'bizarre' and 'preposterous'."
Mr. Hawkins says that Mr. Goldsmith capitulated to the government's story and "it is clear that he is pandering to the agenda of the plaintiff/judiciary to perpetuate the cover-up of corruption."
Judge Martinez denied all of Mr. Hawkins's motions.
The judge also declined to allow Mr. Goldsmith to withdraw as counsel until after the lawyer filed the notice of appeal for Mr. Hawkins.
Mr. Goldsmith complied, filed the notice of appeal and withdrew on April 28.
Kindred spirits
While Mr. Hawkins's position with respect to the alleged massive conspiracy and cover-up spanning more than two decades may well be bizarre and preposterous, it is arguably no more so than the wildly outrageous position embraced by Conversion's founder Mr. Harris and his dwindling band of cult-like followers.
Mr. Harris, who has a real criminal record and a real history of promotional debacles to go along with his imaginative fantasies of putting together a $500-billion bond deal for the Vatican and having a mandate from Congress to pump trillions of dollars into the U.S. economy, claims that Conversion is also the victim of a massive conspiracy.
While the SEC says that Mr. Harris and Conversion filed fraudulent regulatory reports and issued false and misleading news releases making bogus claims about owning billions of dollars worth of bonds, the Georgia promoter pins the company's collapse on an evil host of nasty naked short sellers, crooked hedge funds, manipulative market makers, corrupt regulators and other miscreants who conspired to destroy the nascent financial giant.
Not surprisingly, Mr. Harris has not provided a lick of evidence to support his wild claims.
The Georgia promoter, once an avid Internet poster on public stock chat sites, now makes only occasional appearances among Conversion's few remaining zealots on a members-only message board that he controls.
Recently, Mr. Harris has been sussing out and banning members of his chat board suspected of being moles, including a couple of senior acolytes who acted as moderators.
On April 26, Mr. Harris dropped in to the Conversion forum for "true longs" to deliver a weighty message to his devoted followers, many of whom now reverently address him as "Boss" or "Bossman."
"Very Important to see!!" the semi-literate tout proclaimed. "Stargate SG-1 episode 'Covenant' Very ...
"Be Good and Safe everyone, GODSPEED and GODBLESS."
Mr. Harris's loyal followers obliged and then tried to tease some deep meaning out of a summary of that episode of the low-brow science fiction television series. Some suggested that the program meant that some government agency has set aside a considerable sum of money to pay Conversion shareholders.
Whether it should be considered refreshing or frightening, there is apparently some limit to what Mr. Harris's band of gullible followers are prepared to believe.
For example, some draw the line at the suggestion that U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is actually a cloned imposter installed after the real Mr. Paulson's death and the clone has, among other things, been thwarting Mr. Harris's valiant efforts to restructure the financial markets and make Conversion's shareholders fabulously wealthy in the process.
The notion that Mr. Paulson is a cloned imposter gets more play among the lunatic fringe of CMKM Diamonds Inc., a revoked pink sheet woofer formerly headed by Saskatchewan native Urban Casavant. In many respects, Conversion is a pale imitation of CMKM.
Meanwhile, some amused followers of Mr. Harris's skunky promotion suggest that Conversion's gullible shareholders and the more numerous CMKM faithful awaiting imagined massive payouts are examples of economic Darwinism at work.
Conversion, which traded as high as $4 per share at the peak of the short-lived promotion, closed at a tenth of a penny on May 1.

Jail Day for Altomare
Richard Altomare, the former chief executive of Universal Express must report to jail today, a federal judge ruled this afternoon. He said a warrant would be issued for Mr. Altomare’s arrest if he does not show up.
If you haven’t been paying attention to the Universal Express story, it involves a penny stock company that stayed in business for years by illegally issuing billions of shares of stock, telling shareholders that it would get rich from judgments against naked shortsellers. When the S.E.C. went after it, it claimed the S.E.C. was part of a conspiracy. When a federal judge ordered the company to stop issuing shares illegally, and barred Mr. Altomare from running the company, he ignored the order and issued billions of additional shares. When I wrote about the case, he took out a full-page ad in The Times to denounce me and the S.E.C. He never paid for that ad, or for a lot of other things, including some employee salaries, but he did use company funds to buy a lot of jewelry for his wife.
Judge Gerard Lynch ordered Mr. Altomare to pay $1.7 million in penalties and interest. So far, Mr. Altomare has paid $60,000. He has not kept a promise to pay $10,000 a month.
After a hearing, the judge ruled that Mr. Altomare had not demonstrated an inability to pay, nor had he explained the source of hundreds of thousands of dollars deposited in his bank accounts. Mr. Altomare now says he can prove that all the money came from Universal Express or from refinancing his home and condominium.
Although he was never indicted for a crime — and civil cases do not normally lead to incarceration — the result is that he will be in prison until he either pays or satisfies the judge that he cannot do so. In his request for a stay, Arthur Tifford, Mr. Altomare’s lawyer, said forcing him into prison would “constitute imprisonment for debt.”
In a filing on Thursday, Mr. Altomare provided an affidavit asserting that he really could not afford to pay the money, and asking that he be allowed to stay out of jail pending a new hearing at which he could demonstrate that fact.
If Mr. Altomare can provide that information, the judge said, he can purge himself of contempt and get out of jail.

Bush has the wanta money,
Paulson realized Bush had stolen the money from leo wanta so Paulson took the wanta account from Bush and put it under his name, out of the country...England i think story said...stealing it from Bush...
This is sooooooo freaking complicated!
Bush had stolen the Wanta money from the Lord, followed by Paulson stealing the Wanta money from Bush. Paulson transfers the Wanta money "offshore". Bush whacks Paulson and clones him for this evil deed. On the 16th the Pope had a meeting with Bush. The Pope also wants to steal the Wanta money that actually belongs to the Lord, that Bush had stolen, then Paulson had stolen.

the POPE wants the Lord's Money that HE caused to belong to WANTA?
ok, i'll be glad to meet with the Pope and discuss what the Lord wants and why. The Pope is to meet with President Bush on the 16th...send me a military escort President Bush...i'll be glad to inform the Pope about the Father's coming wrath upon mankind.
FOR WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE SHOULD GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE HIS SOUL?
maybe the POPE would like to discuss what he THINKS the Lord means by this scripture...huh?
That is another lie the gurus convinced people was true to cover up the fact they could never prove it.
It doesn't matter that the ones that started all these lies are being shown for helping the scammers hide massive dumping of unregistered shares by claim NS they can never prove.
To add to that, when the NSS poster children are shown to be outright frauds with massive dilution (the unregister shares i.e. USXP CMKX), the guru's abandon them and completely wash their hands of them, as if they never mention them in the crusade at all.
But she is entertaining.
I think she actually believes Bush reads her message board. Why would she need a military escort? lol

But I don't think you could in any way call the War of 1812 a second American revolution
The War of 1812 is where Robert Maheu earned his nickname Iron Bob. I think the second American Revolution was the stock market crash of 1929. Now the third American Revolution is NSS (more commonly know as the subprime mortgage crisis).
You can learn these facts and read about current affairs on RagingBull.com.
Did you see that he bought a still? He's fond of whisky--being a noble Scot
OMG I missed this post by you below. I really can not fathom why people keep insisting that there are paid bashers when they fail to see the entertainment value in penny stock scams. Where else can you find a "Scottish Lord/Baron" making moonshine in his basement and claims to have a hedgefund? Or Princess Bea of DOM who goes from pump shell to pump shell stocks and has a charity funded by shareholders. lol

lol, don't you remember that he said in a PR that he wanted to go into the distillery biz?
He told me that he was making some 'shine in his basement. Well, he called it "whisky".
Funny stuff, isn't it?
It's unbelievable! LOL
I don't know how he hooked up with Fat Frank, but it certainly wasn't a Good Thing for JMON shareholders
I'm going to add to my list of penny stock red flag warnings, people that are hot dog vendors or have "royal titles".
Geez I thought Princess Bea was outrageous enough. NOW we have Taylor Forrester Moffitt, 15th Lord and Baron of Holydean, Scotland? AND the good Lord and Baron is an Ebay buyer/seller? Too funny!
Janice, do you know how this "peer of the realm" managed to hook up with Frank Love?
I swear, the penny stock world is full of the most bizarre people you would never want the misfortune to meet.

HEADS UP GUYS, have been comunicating with talyor moffit, heres what he had to say when i confronted him about those crooked dealings he was a part of,...........ENJOY AND GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS ON HIS RESPONSE...............................Tony,
I'm prepared to go after Frank, but I can't afford to hire lawyers.
Regarding my old Hummers, I bought them with money I earned at Bradford Mortgage during the refinance boom, before I had anything to do with James Monroe. I fixed them up myself. Ironically, I actually sold them as a result of Frank because I had to use the money to pay JMON legal fees and to pay on the real estate investments that went south... of which I am still paying on them.
I don't have any trailers or RV's. In fact, I lost my house and had to move into one of the James Monroe properties that I am making bank payments on. It is for sale, I am anxious to be free from paying on these out of my pocket any longer.
I have no problem exposing Frank and have nothing to hide. Any investigation would be welcomed as it will only vindicate me.
I am very anxious for the new company to put out a PR. I have no control over this, and can't put out their PR for them.
I regret not having exposed Frank publicly, because people have made the gross mistake of assuming I was afraid he has some sort of information... he's just a squealing scammer trying to point blame at others. Nothing more.
I had bet heavily on Frank being able to close his deals and do the buyback he promised to us in writing,... it has hurt me terribly financially. There's no way I can afford to hire an attorney to go after him legally. I am struggling to make the payments on the James Monroe real estate properties, have had horrible stress on my family. My wife was expecting and we lost our unborn child, and I presantly have another child in the hospital with pneumonia. I can't even afford to pay my credit card bills let alone hire an attorney to go after Frank. Its embarassing, humiliating, and hurtful.
To then have people email me letters thinking that I somehow was a party to Frank, or profited from his exploiting my friends and family-- is horrible.
I even invited people in to look at all of the contracts, documents, et cetera to help me make decisions. Several shareholders, especially critical ones such as yourself. If you were around I would have invited you in too, only so that you could vindicate me.
Anyhow, I'm happy to answer any questions you have, and I am deeply sorry for my poor selection (Frank) and my failure to publicly go after him. JMON's lawyer said not to ever put anything in print about him that was negative or else the company would be liable for libel. I would have ignored her advice if I knew then what I know now,... that Frank would make up even more lies and try to shift blame.
Of the people who were hurt by his scheme, also included were my father, my aunt & uncle, my elderly grandmother, and many friends and neighbors. It has been a horrible horrible experience and I wish I could go back and change things-- I didn't do enough due diligence on Frank (obviously), and it hurt me, my loved ones, my friends, and many others.
I am humiliated by this, and very sorry. Nothing I could ever say could make up for it. All I can do is hope that the GRCO dividend given out before Chris and I left James Monroe does very well.
Sincerely & respectfully,
Taylor
Marin DA has some questions
Nancy Isles Nation
Article Launched: 04/18/2008 11:59:05 PM PDT
The Marin County District Attorney's Office has launched an investigation into advertising by Overstock.com, a Salt Lake City-based company that sells closeout retail goods.
Overstock reported the probe in a first-quarter earnings statement Friday, saying Marin has joined with district attorneys in four other counties to examine the way the company advertises products for sale. It said it received a subpoena seeking information and documents.
"We follow industry advertising practices and we intend to respond fully to the subpoena and cooperate with the investigation," the company stated.
Marin District Attorney Ed Berberian said Overstock's statement is accurate, but he added he could not comment further because the investigation is under way.
The company has aired a series of television ads, some featuring a sultry woman who rallies customers to the "big O."
Officials at Overstock are in the midst of a lawsuit filed against an independent research firm that it claims smeared the company in 2005 by driving its stock down with a negative analysis.
Overstock's lawsuit claims that Gradient Analytics Inc. of Scottsdale, Ariz., gave it an "F" rating based on reports from Milburn, N.J., hedge fund Rocker Partners that Gradient officials knew were not true.
Overstock sued for libel, saying the companies profited by short-selling its shares. The lawsuit was filed in Marin because at least one of the plaintiffs lives in the county.
Gradient filed a cross-complaint
Tuesday, claiming Overstock and its chief executive Patrick Byrne libeled the independent research firm in remarks made to journalists, money managers and market analysts.
Mark Griffin, general counsel for Overstock, said four ex-Gradient employees back claims made in Overstock's complaint.
A jury trial is scheduled in Marin on Sept. 9.
Overstock.com stock rose $4.47 Friday to $18.47. The company had a 52-week high of $39.39 and a low of $8.61.
Congratulations! Tuscan wins the prize for the most convoluted conspiracy theory of the year award.
A great summery from the other board..
Bottom Line...
I have read 'they' cut a deal... they being cmkm....
that's totally correct for the Cooked Book Papertrail...but,
WHO cut the deal..hah!....
Appears to me the SEC wanted this to read 'JUST SO' and be 'DONE WITH IT FAST!'
Let's go back a tad and remember what we have here..
Claims...(Project Surround...a MONSTER, imo and EVIDENTLY in the SEC/Hedgefunds/Brokers/Bankers opinion after reading that document..lol.... DUH!)
Negotiated deal...yup.. a long time ago, CERT PULL..BINGO SEC...WE gotcha! Guess WHO holds the REAL shares!?
a Scurry of articles start flying out on the Internet of a arrest here and there of this CEO and that CFO of Banks and Private Sector executives
you can hear the tiny voices of canaries singing a chorus tune from your desk chair for the past two years ongoing !... then a tiny article in a corner of the Internet appears about each arrest for the SEC PAPERTRAILlater down the road....(the SEC mission is being accomplished .. what fun that was to watch !)
The Dollar is destabilized..think that wasnt PLANNED?
A freebie type Housing Loan is concocted to draw in folks... think that wasn't planned? They NEEDED to CREATE a BANKING mess that would AFFORD the BANKS and BROKERAGE HOUSES the chance to say...WE DON'T know what HAPPENED to the MONEY' (and the public is buying it)
The Global Derivative problem is mounting... all countries in G/7 plus Russia and India and a few others want their many years ago, 'promised' money... their ledgers don't balance and the Banking World is starting to sway. (Move with other Entities that can leverage pressure...name of the game) Fight Crime with Crime..? (lol)
A Sting is on the move,.... and all the while shareholders are being dropped tidbits of info that they run with... and because of the Interet and the interest that has been caused by the maneuver... the shareholders cling to each tidbit and 'run ti dig up the connection of the tidbit hints to the company they bought in to.' (the SEC did NOT think about the demise the INTERNET could have.. )
The Cert Pull is most likely a joke to Wallstreet....they must have had bets on that one and thought Maheu to be a fool to think this many people would pull certs in this day and age.
but, just in case... send in some 'clowns' to bash the boards and keep the group on a downer.
cmkm seems to have a 'Life' of it's own.. the Wallstreet Gang is in a panic on the floor of the Ivory Tower fella's. 'Those cmkm people are calling...' tell 'em they are worthless...tell 'em anything..'
and yes, we shareholders heard it all....'What? NS? That would be illegal'... yes, we all heard it !
The CERT PULL is done! .......WE WON!..........Now cmkm shareholders can sit back and watch the show... oh yeah, some didn't get it and some still don't.. but they can spend the buck just the same.
Remember Spectre/Grassley and the SEC Hearings... yup, and the last words spoken...'WE AIN'T DONE WIH YOU YET!"
Do I think that was planned.. yup..
Will there be another SEC Hearing down the pike.. yupper! SOON!
THAT is the KEY for the SEC, imo, to 'SHOW and TELL' the PUBLIC that
the SEC FIXED the MARKET ! Aren't they good?
A 'Few Good Men' were on this long, tedious job as part of the Maneuver,imo, ... you don't get the SEC to BEND at the knee and fold for no reason.. and many evidentual facts and leverages must have been stacked on the TABLE of on-GOING LEVERAGED, NEGOTIATION table as this has ZOOMED past cmkm on to other criminal corners of the GLOBE!
Someone was after the criminals and hauled 'em in.. and we watched CEO and CFO leave Banks.. and the doors of the SEC flew open with those escaping their coveted jobs...??
This became imo, a negotiated Deal cut long ago... a 'You got us, and now we have to get someone too' sort of situation.
'You get what you want.. and now we have to look good in the end, so you have to wait for us to finish our work'.
This SEC FINAL JUDGEMENT almost seemed to read like we have been sitting in court for two years.. and they now came to this point?
We sat here,... the judgment was rolling forward.. but NO ONE will EVER have PAPERWORK to pull up on this EXCEPT what you SEE here in front of you...which says very little.
Since when does the SEC/DOJ et al just drop it with a paragraph of two of write?
Do you think your neighbor read the article on cmkm? oh yes, the Canadian neighbors read it .. but what do they know that we don't...?
No ONE is aware of all the news the other day.... but a Papertrail WAS made for any nosy reporter down the line... but, we shareholders who have dug for three years into this maze have noticed that its been a 'NOW YOU SEE IT and NOW YOU DON'T' kind of situation all along... they have been pulling down any trail of cmkm or surrounding effects for some LONG time....as for the news the other day,
the public has a 90 day memorie... thats it!
Speaking of 90 day memory.... this is moving fast to the EXACT place that I have awaited... all the REAL action that is of terrific import to someone(s)/in GOV during the year 2008 and the Fall... and they/Gov/SEC et al
have to have something GRAND occur SOON, so the public is AWARE and THRILLED to the point of having it DRILLED into their MEMORY BANK and this has to make SOMEONE and a ENTITIE look TERRIFIC!
Life changing... bring it on home... kind of situation...
and we know the Rest of the Story... We can watch..as we have for the past two plus years, knowing we understand what the real meaning of many Media talk is all about, while the Joe Public has NO CLUE what occurred during these past 6 years.
Canada roars....the MONSTER is alive... and we are in it ! imo
Congrats to cmkm shareholders
Best to all those who worked on this project and left families perse for long periods ot time... to move this forward
My thanks to Urban for the unrelentless, ongoing determination...
My thanks to the Maheu Maneuver and the brilliant Man
My thanks to all the Legal Eagles that in some ways go unnamed although we know them... and the enormous amount of thought and planning that went into this long legal tactical EVENT9s)
My thanks to the other companies who played a out on front stage
and up center in this dangerous move.
PLANNED E V E N T S .......that were T I M E D ....
of course, this is all just my opinion and I'm stickin' to it !

Kind of ironic that the Gradient lawsuit is in the same general area.

Overstock.com Under Criminal Investigation on Ads
The fascinating corporate basket case Overstock.com, and its dipsy doodle CEO Patrick Byrne, have engaged in a flurry of activity in recent days. Byrne has been doing stuff that didn't seem quite rational -- like moving the antisocialmedia.net corporate smear site to the Overstock website.
Now we know why: Overstock is the target of yet another investigation, this one a grave criminal probe by not one but five counties in northern California. That's on top of the active probe of its accounting that has been slowly chugging away by the SEC for the past two years.
This calamitous news is buried in the Overstock first quarter earnings loss press release. It is buried so far down you'd that Byrne could have used camouflage netting if he could:
On April 15, 2008, we received a letter from the Office of the District Attorney of Marin County, California, stating that the District Attorneys of Marin and four other counties in California have begun an investigation into the way we advertise products for sale, together with an administrative subpoena seeking related information and documents. We follow industry advertising practices and we intend to respond fully to the subpoena and cooperate with the investigation.
That's a material event, to say the least. Funny that Overstock didn't disclose it at the time, even while it was churning out a press release putting a spin on a libel suit filed recently against the company. How come that is a "material event" and not an investigation by five counties in California? Under Sarbanes Oxley, material events must be disclosed within 48 hours, and something this grave, I would think, would have to be disclosed even sooner. Nasdaq also mandates swift disclosure of piddling stuff like criminal investigations.
As for the numbers in the press release.... stay tuned. The numbers were so hyped by Byrne in the earnings release that the stock took an enormous pop -- 35% at last look -- even though the company is still losing money at such a rate that it will be out of business before long. In the past, particularly when it comes to non-GAAP accounting measures, Overstock's numbers have proven dubious, to say the least.

Pearlie did a reverse split, she DID announce the date. Only it didn't happen, because she hadn't finished with the new incorporation documents, and FINRA/Nasdaq didn't move as quickly as she thought they would to set an ex date.
Yes, and there were quite a few shareholders that were finished with Pearl/PAIM after that happened.
