Does anyone find it curious that the "shareholder letter" comes from the Detroit, MI area, lists no address, phone, or email for "Oscar Whitley", and is clearly drafted by an attorney?
Who are the scammers that hang around Detroit and central Michigan, Janice?
I recall there is one group that has a lot of corps in that area. Do you know who I am referring to?
"Oscar Whitley" certainly drove quite a ways from Rosewood Avenue in Taylor, MI to the USPS dropoff in Walled Lake, MI. And curiously, I can find no residence on Rosewood Avenue that uses Rosewood Avenue as its numbered street address - they all use the cross streets as the blocks along Rosewood are only two parcels wide.
Is Adam Carter hiding ~OUTT in the Detroit area now?
Refresh my recollection on the dude/group that creates fictional shells ~OUTT of the Detroit area, Janice.
Publication of applications is AUTOMATIC. Anyone can file one and it publishes in 18 months.
There is no 'accomplishment' or 'achievement' in the AUTOMATIC publication of an APPLICATION.
Look, the vote is a SCAM. The Series A Preferred supervoting shares control all. The commons can't do squat.
The Foleys control the Series A Preferred shares and the votes from those supervoting shares.
The 'proxy' is just a SHAM for the company to say "we put the R/S to a shareholder vote and shareholders approved it".
Boolsheet. It's a farce. The Foleys with the supervoting Series A Preferred control it all along - but they think the medicine will go down better if the company says "hey, we asked shareholders and they voted to do it" - even though every single common share could vote NO and the RS would still pass.
It's all for show. Pure BS.
That's EXACTLY right!!!
The only NTEK recapitalization is a REVERSE SPLIT.
Only question is will it be 1 for 1000 or 1 for 10,000.
For this FIRST reverse split.
They always come in threes. Just like in PPJE, HIPH, NYBD/PLKD, CDEX, etc.
After the FIRST reverse split, the PPS craters again over a couple of months or three, then they do a SECOND reverse split and the PPS crumbles in a matter of weeks to a month or so, then they do a THIRD reverse split and either FINRA won't approve it or the stock fails to trade and winds up No Bid x 0.000001 on the Grey market with zero volume. Then it is DEAD.
The FIRST reverse split is just the death knell for the death of the stock 4-6 months later.
Uplist? Bwahhaahhaahahaha!!!! FIRST they need three years of AUDITED FINANCIALS.
The "financials" they've posted since at least 2012 are clearly and unambiguously FAKE, FRAUDULENT, and FALSE - and internally inconsistent and inconsistent between Qs and Ks. That's because they are part of the Foley SECURITIES FRAUD.
Sooo, NO AUDITS. EVER. Until the FBI does them with a forensic auditing team.
UPLIST???? LOL!!!!
NO, butt an SEC SUSPENSION is coming.
So, one can call that an 'uplist' to the Grey Market.
Smart investors? Who do you have in mind?
Anyone who buys a Stinky Pinkie with obvious serious securities law violations, as NTEK has, risks waking up to the SEC suspension and no way to get ~OUTT of the position until it hits the greys and trades down 80 percent on the reopen.
Just like CRGP - remember that gem - or SKTO - or many, many other pennyscams. Or CDFT - many recall that scam. Or FNRG, TRII, OLIE, PHOT, or KMAG. One can cite many, many such examples of scams that went south and died a quick death with little to no advance notice. CYNK is another.
Who are the 'smart investors' (other than the holders of floorless convertible notes and insiders who get paid in shares a year in arrears so they can dump upon issuance and are exposed to no market risk because they don't hold the shares)?
Smart investors are those who stay the hell away from these penny stock scams.
NTEK shareholders should consult tax advisors regarding the REVERSE SPLIT and any potential tax consequences that they may be exposed to as a result. Generally, there are no taxable issues, but it will depend on the details and where you live.
Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split
The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split. It addresses only stockholders who hold the pre-reverse split shares and post-reverse split shares as ‘‘capital assets’’ within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’). It does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split and does not account for or consider the federal income tax consequences to stockholders in light of their individual investment circumstances or to stockholders subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign stockholders, stockholders who hold the pre-reverse split shares as part of a straddle, hedge or conversion transaction, stockholders who hold the pre-reverse split shares as ‘‘qualified small business stock’’ within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code, stockholders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code and stockholders who acquired their pre-reverse split shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation. This summary is based upon the Code, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder, legislative history, judicial decisions, and current administrative rulings and practices, all as in effect on the date hereof. Any of these authorities could be repealed, overruled, or modified at any time. Any such change could be retroactive and, accordingly, could cause the tax consequences of the reverse stock split to vary substantially from the consequences described herein. This summary does not address tax considerations under state, local, foreign and other laws. Furthermore, no ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the ‘‘IRS’’) or opinion of legal or tax counsel will be obtained with respect to the matters discussed herein, and there is no assurance that the IRS would agree with the conclusions set forth in this summary.
STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS, CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS, AND ANY PENDING OR PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
The reverse stock split is intended to constitute a ‘‘recapitalization’’ within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. Assuming the reverse stock split qualifies as a recapitalization, a stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the reverse stock split, except to the extent of cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional share interest in the post-reverse split shares. A stockholder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share interest in the post-reverse split shares generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the cash received and the portion of the tax basis of the pre-reverse split shares allocated to the fractional share interest. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the pre-reverse split shares were held for more than one year. The aggregate tax basis of the post-reverse split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-reverse split shares exchanged therefore (excluding any portion of the stockholder’s tax basis allocated to fractional share interests), and the holding period of the post-reverse split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-reverse split shares exchanged.
Alfie maintains his 100 percent failure rate. Every single business that clown has tried has failed miserably, with him conning his investors out of every cent and walking away when their money is gone.
He spends their money on trips, parties, five-star restaurants where he eats alone, and of course paying his rent, etc.
Oh and Photoshopping expenses - which can't be too much since the Photoshop jobs on his 'pics' are pathetically done by obvious amateurs.
And we know he can't be spending much on his 'clothes' and shoes, because how much can used circus clothes cost at Goodwill?
That is the machine the Foleys use for laundering munny from the Royal Capital Group illegal stock issuance, delegending and sales fraud using backdated convertible notes..
REVERSE SPLIT is what a recapitalization is in Pennyscamland.
Simple - just axe Danny W(r)ong one question:
Danny, please confirm the that recapitalization referred to in the SHL is NOT a reverse split?
When he won't confirm that, then nobody can make the ridiculous argument that it's anything other than a REVERSE SPLIT.
Go on, AXE HIM in writing and post the entire reply email with headers!
Bwahahahahaahahahaha!!!!
That post is so absurd is sooooooo many ways.
You can't IPO a publicly listed corporation. FACT.
NTEK still doesn't even have audits. FACT.
You can't even get an S-1 for NTGL approved until the parent NTEK is audited. FACT.
NTEK doesn't need any votes to spin off a division, just like they didn't have any proxies for spinning off NTGL into HVEL. FACT.
NTGL still doesn't have an audit. FACT.
NTGL still doesn't have an S-1 filed. FACT.
The SEC will not declare any NTGL S-1 effective without audits of the parent NTEK for at least the prior two years before the sale to HVEL. FACT.
These are just SOME of the FACTS that make the idea of an NTEK 'IPO' laughable.
The proxies are for a REVERSE SPLIT - that's the 'recapitalization'. And Foley will walk away with even MORE shares to dump. FACT.
He just got another 400 million shares to dump with the 'interim' A/S raise. FACT.
Third A/S increase in 10 months! FACT.
"Smart traders making the money !!"
Dude, NTEK is going the same way as CRGP. it's gonna be suspended for faked financials and illegal issuance and delegending of shares that should have been restricted - and backdated Foley floorless convertible notes using a fake front Royal Capital Group under his wife's name.
". In the interim we have increased the authorized shares to allow us to keep operating until we can get the proxy package out to you for your vote.
"in the interim ... until we can get the proxy package out ..."
So, they only raised the A/S just enough to stretch until the REVERSE SPLIT.
So, only several weeks and the A/S will be maxed ~OUTT again and the RS goes through.
Nice! Watch those convertible shares hit the float - 400 million of them - in the next several weeks until they REVERSE SPLIT this scam.
Why are you directing your post to me?
BTW, the address dan@ntek.com doesn't bounce back, so it seems like a working email address.
Proxies are a JOKE! The Series A Preferred supervoting shares already contain enough votes to pass the REVERSE SPLIT.
Sending ~OUTT proxies (if they even do) is a farce. The REVERSE SPLIT is already guaranteed by the Foleys, who hold the Series A Preferred supervoting shares.
REVERSE SPLIT! Everyone has been warned about this for MONTHS.
Welcome to the NTEK pennyscam securities fraud!
Any place pennyscam 'investors' are to be found is fertile ground to sell boolsheet sharting software, that's why.
One doesn't need any boolsheet sharting software to see that the NTEK insider enrichment share printing and stock distribution scam is going into the pit of death, only to be saved temporarily from trip zeroes by an SEC suspension that buys it 10 days of no trades before it drops to the greys (like BIG's others - FNRG).
The only relevant sharting measure is the A/D line - which shows that NTEK has been under unrelenting, brutal death spiral distribution since last December.
Oh wait, that is the month that NTEK created the Series A Preferred supervoting shares that make the common shares useless - and they can print and sell as many common as they can and still have DaFoley retain control of the company via his ownership of the Series A Preferred supervoting shares.
Aw, must just be a coincidence, right?
No need for Clay's sharting software to figure that one ~OUTT. Once they created the supervoting preferred, you knew this was a print-and-dump dilution scam.
No sharting needed.
Yes, and overclocking it caused RFI/EMI above and outside the allowable FCC limits.
No certification.
That's why you never saw a Big Box store (or any retailer) actually sell the NP-1. All 'sales' were made directly from NTEK to the shareholders.
No Best Buy (remember the three month associate training?). No bricks-and-mortar. No Staples. No Amazon. No Fry's. No Ingram Micro. Nada.
No 60,000 NP-1s "shipped into the retail channel" never to arrive.
I can also assure you that the NTEK A/S is indeed over a BILLION. FACT.
I assure you they ARE. In FACT I know it is a FACT. The NP-1 motherboard is the MadCatz MOJO motherboard. EXACTLY.
All that differs is the enclosure and the heatsink - because NTEK was overclocking the MOJO motherboard. FACT.
No, that post is true. The NP-1 is nothing but the MadCatz MOJO in a different enclosure. FACT.
And the FCC refused to license the NP-1 for commercial sale in the USA. FACT.
And that's because NTEK was overclocking the MOJO motherboard. FACT.
NTEK A/S is also over a BILLION. FACT.
Foley IS serving a day in prison. FACT.
HTH.
Really? LOL.
Foley sold 10 million yesterday and he sold another 20 million today.
Monday he'll sell another 10 million. And Tuesday another. In fact he's sold over half a billion shares since April 2015.
"3 AS raises adding up to over a whopping billion shares!!!
Oh, they're just getting started. Floorless convertible death spirals go exponential once the PPS breaks below a certain point. Then they literally spin ~OUTT of control in weeks to a couple of months and the reverse splits and A/S raises come fast and brutal.
Butt NTEK is gonna be suspended before that, unless DaFoley decides to go for broke now and squeeze the market as hard as he can before NTEK hits the suspension list.
It's a horserace now.
LOL - at the shareholders' beating NTEK said they were nott "planning" any more A/S raises. And less than two months later - they raise the A/S again.
UF on Sony yet? 2015 Samsungs?
Audits?
NTGL S-1?
Streaming 49ers games yet?
Remember when the A/S was never going over a BILLION?
Really?
LOL!!!
DaFoley got his Halloween trick in early - and there's no treat except for him and his Royal Capital Group that is ILLEGALLY converting and selling shares.
Maybe the SEC can get in on Halloween too and have a special treat for NTEK and DaFoley one bright morning.
Three A/S raises in 10 months. WOW!
I've followed a lot of pennyscams over the past 25 or so years and I can't recall, offhand, any one that did three A/S raises in 10 months.
I'm sure there are some (probably many) examples, butt I can't recall one that did three A/S increases in less than a year.
Oh what a scam by DaFoley. Classic insider enrichment scheme share printing and stock distribution scam.
It's raining shares - from DaFoley's printing press
I'm still sitting by the phone(s) waiting for the OODH 'CEO', Randy "Goat Molester" Hoff to call.
Shirley his Craigslist ads and bragging that he had my phone number were nott just LIES, like everything else about the failed scam OODH.
Oh my, yes, yes they were. More lies and pure failure by Randy the Loser - cutting firewood for food $$$ and living in a tiny shack in Nowhere located between Burn Zone and Charcoaltown in wildfireland.
Poor Randy. $309 BILLION in gold and yest nott two nickels to rub together.
RandyGoat back on the road trying to raise money for the $309 BILLION in gold just lying there waiting to be picked up
Old man realtor Scimeca still pushing his snake oil crapola.
It obviously isn't working on him.
Czech the ratio of SELLS into the bid today versus buys at the ask. This turd is under massive, endless distribution. The A/D line on this turd is among the worst you'll see for such a prolonged period of time.
As do all insider enrichment schemes that rely on endless dilution and floorless convertible notes. Which is what NTEK is and has always been. Even when the lies of the 60,000 NP-1s was used as the bait to hook the unwary and uncritical sheepvestors.
The Death Spiral cannot be beaten. Ever.
Bwahahahaa!! This article describes a phony shell scam just like DaFoley has been using to create the faked "Sales-Media" bogus revenue numbers:
http://www.businessinsider.com/a-short-selling-firm-is-accusing-valeant-of-being-enron-and-it-says-it-has-proof-2015-10
D SHOAFing the Nanotech Media Inc shell and others.
With Foley's Royal Capital Group dumping tons of ILLEGALLY unrestricted shares into the market every single week
There can never be an audit of NTEK. Ever.
Only a forensic audit by the FBI will be done.
... on Sony yet?
Now 14 months AFTER the announcement that UF was on Sony ...
Kohler is putting a dedicated UF flush handle on its latest economy model toilet. It's a high-volume flusher designed to flush 10 milly newly issued shares per flush.
The model is named "DaFoley" and it's guaranteed nott to clog on any flush less than 12 million shares. However, Kohler cannot make any guarantees about preventing SEC suspensions that may block it up.
DaFoley
... butt the audits!
"Bill" will win CEO-of-the-Year at FCI-Milan.
Yes, NTEK completely lacks credibility. 60,000 missing NP-1s "shipped into the retail channel", no audits after three years of claiming they are right around the corner, completely fake, fraudulent 'financials' that make zero sense even if you believe the numbers - they simply don't make sense either within a Q or between Qs, oh and then there's the deception of the Associate DaDavey and Lisa masquerading as Royal Capital Group and issuing and selling shares without a legal exemption from registration...
... yes, a company lacking any credibility at all.
And is UF on Sony yet? 14 months AFTER it was announced as being on Sony?
Audits?
the SEC can't revoke a unregistered stock
Ummm ... I said SUSPENSION nott revocation. The SEC SUSPENDS trading in non-reporting Pinkies all the time - see SKTO/AEGY, CRGP, CYNK, and thousands of others.
The SEC suspends when there is clear evidence that the public disclosures of a non-SEC reporting company are misleading and the marketplace lacks adequate information and is exposed to clearly false information from the company. That's why the SEC suspended SKTO shortly after its genera counsel gave clearly false information in a shareholder telecon. The SEC suspended that within a week or two of that telecon.
Revocation takes years usually - and tickers are long dead by the time they are revoked by the SEC. Those zombie tickers float around for years and years sometimes.
In the case of SPNG, I believe the first thing that happened was the arrests of the CEO and CFO at 2-7AM one morning, IIRC. Then the stock was suspended for 10 days and reopened as a grey. Same with FNRG (another BIG Bennie scam).
I ran across this gem and realized it was almost a perfect mimetic of the behaviour(s) seen in pennyscam investors - such as the persistent clingers to CMKX and SPNG scams.
For illustrative purposes, I have replaced the name of the pharmaceutically active agent with the ticker CMKX.
Following the administration of an incapacitating dose of CMKX stock, a typical sequence of events occurs. The onset is more or less insidious, with the first symptoms becoming noticeable at about one hour. Early central nervous system manifestations include heightened deep tendon reflexes, ataxia, incoordination, slurring of speech, dizziness and headache. Nausea, usually without vomiting, is frequent. Subjective weakness, without appreciable loss of strength, occurs primarily in the legs.
During the first phase (1-4 hours), discomfort and apprehension are present. Extreme restlessness occurs, sometimes with involuntary clonic spasms of the extremities and birdlike flapping of the arms. Errors of speech and scattered moments of confusion may be noted.
After a crescendo of restlessness and ataxia, a second phase (at 4-12 hours) begins.
During the second phase, sedation, stupor, and even semi-coma develop. The individual sleeps, or appears to sleep, and responds only to direct and sometimes only to strong, stimulation. Spontaneous groping or crawling may alternate with lying quietly. The subject mutters incoherently from time to time. Sometimes he shows "obstinate progression" as he stubbornly tries to crawl in a straight line over, past and through all obstacles. As this primitive behavior (reminiscent of the "running response" in decorticate animals) subsides, the subject enters a third phase, beginning at during 12 hours, during which more spectacular symptoms develop.
As speech returns over the next few hours, it is in clipped, flat accents, containing rapid bursts of commonly associated words and phrases, particularly those that are most colloquial and habitual. Logical continuity is lacking and most sentences are meaningless or absurd. Hallucinations seem to dominate the field of awareness, and real objects and persons are generally ignored or ludicrously misrepresented. Touch seems to become the most important sensory system, and the hands are ceaselessly active, exploring clothing, bedding, walls, floors and crevices of the environment. Smoking and drinking of phantom cigarettes and beverages are very common.
As delirium subsides, food and drink previously ignored or refused may be accepted in small amounts, although appetite and thirst are generally decreased. The subject begins to respond to short instructions and may be quite tractable, but at times is negativistic and refuses to cooperate. If he feels annoyed, he may strike out at the source of his annoyance. Attention span is very short and distractability is correspondingly heightened. Drawings and handwritings show marked deterioration.
While incapable of sustained intellectual effort, the subject may persist in an activity in spite of failure, ceaselessly prying at cracks in the wall, for example, in an endeavor to escape from an enclosed area. Sometimes he may succeed in conveying some wish, such as a desire to use the latrine, and then be too confused to execute his intention. At other times, he may react violently to hallucinated events and engage in pantomime combat with phantom assailants or in ludicrous play with imaginary companions.
As recovery proceeds, the subject gradually begins to converse in a more rational and coherent fashion, but his grasp of the situation is still impaired and he often makes paranoid misinterpretations. He may feel, for example, that someone is out to kill him or that his food is poisoned or "naked short sellers stole my money". He may wonder why he is under such scrutiny and why he is being 'treated like a kid'.
While recovering, the CMKX-intoxicated subject tends to deny that he is impaired and tries to make excuses for errors or failures during testing or questioning. The casual examiner may be fooled into thinking that little or no impairment is present. During this period, the overall demeanor and manner of acting is sometimes reminiscent of paranoid schizophrenia.
If the reaction lasts more than a day, a period of deep sleep generally precedes full recovery. Return of appetite, interest in recreation and a normal display of enthusiasm and spontaneity in conversation are reliable indications that delirium is over...
[...]
One intriguing finding is the frequent report by subjects, both during and after recovery from the drug experience, of the illusion of red coloration of the skin, both their own and that of undrugged personnel who are with them. One or two individuals have thought their hands were bleeding when washing them under the tap. Whether this is an optical phenomenon related in some way to engorgement of retinal blood vessels or is central in origin is not known.
[...]
With small doses of CMKX, excitation is sometimes not seen at all, or is very mild and transient. Instead, sedation is the predominant effect. It is not uncommon for subjects receiving doses between 2.0 and 5.0 million shares/kg at 10:00 hours experimental time (expressed in hrs:min rather than '1000') to sleep through the afternoon, most of the evening, and then through the night, recovering normal alertness by the following morning. This is not attributable simply to boredom, since at very low doses and with other types of agents, daytime sleeping is either absent or limited to short naps.
[...]
Frequently, time 'stands still' for the incapacitated subject, from sometime on the first day until nearly complete recovery, two or three days later. When he 'comes to', he may think it is still the day on which he received the stock, sometimes in the face of external evidence to the contrary. For example, one man commented on the third day of the test: 'You know, if I didn't know it was Friday, Id swear it was Sunday' (which it was). When I asked him to explain, he commented that iHub was nearly deserted, 'like it would be on Sunday.'
[...]
"One subject tried to provoke a fight; another said 'Excuse me, Sir' to the water fountain when he accidentally brushed against it." With regards to persons in his vicinity, recognition may be accurate for individuals who he has met prior to testing, such as the doctor or nurse; other people may erroneously be greeted as old friends, or even relatives. At times he may react to large objects possessing a vertical shape as if they were people. In more extreme states of confusion, he may even initiate conversations with hallucinated individuals. He conducts these one-sided conversations in such a natural, unstudied manner that acting is out of the question.
[...]
Occasionally, he will take vigorous action to deal with imagined emergencies. Subjects may call frantically for medical assistance to treat an illusionary woman who has supposedly just been run over by a car, or shout up at an air-conditioning vent for someone to 'throw down a shotgun and some shells' so he can protect himself from the mob he imagines coming toward his room. One subject scrambled halfway over a seven-foot-high partition, fleeing from a 'guy with a gun' and the nurse caught him by the heels just before he vanished head first down the other side.
[...]
Organized, complex panoramic hallucinations are most common between 24-48 hours after exposure to doses at or above the incapacitating dose. These may be benign or even entertaining – one subject descrbed with great enthusiasm a Lilliputian baseball game being played on the floor in front of him. Later, particularly during the night, the visions may be gigantic and terrifying.
Still later, in place of elephants and giant snakes, he sees rats, squirrels or spiders and gradually these diminish to become bugs or ants, which he labors to brush from his clothing and bedding. Finally, they disappear or are correctly perceived as pieces of lint, dust, loose threads, raised markings on the door, nail heads, paint drippings or whatever would have been clearly recognized as inanimate a few hours before.
[...]
Another curious disturbance of memory function is perseveration – the tendency to repeat the same response inappropriately. This may take a unique form: the subject initially cannot answer a question and seems unable even to remember what the question was, but when the examiner asks a new question, he replies by correctly answering the first! Simultaneously, he seems not to have heard the second question, nor to realize he has responded inappropriately..."
[...]
After recovery, amnesia is greatest for the period of greatest incapacitation, with fair recall of the onset stage. Amnesia for early phases of recovery is not total at the time of emergence from delirium, but for a while develops further. As time goes by, they fade quickly, in much the same way as dreams recollected in the morning a re forgotten by noon. Many subjects demonstrated that if questioned early, they could recall many of the paranoid misperceptions of the previous day, and in retrospect recognize them as distortions. Later, they did not remember this.
In general, however, very little is permanently remembered for more than a few hours after recovery, which no doubt accounts for the commonly held medical belief that delirium is characterized by subsequent amnesia.
[...]
Speech is slurred, the voice develops a monotonous nasal sound, and its volume wanes to an almost inaudible level. This period of incoherent mumbling is sometimes referred to in older medical literature as 'mussitant delirium' (mumbling delirium).
Handwriting is impaired in quality and is usually reduced in size, sometimes to the point of micrographia. When asked to write on a blackboard, a subject's ordinary natural tendency to compensate automatically for the examiner's increased viewing distance by increasing the size of the letters, does not occur. Once again, the loss of ability to maintain a sense of 'context' seems to be a major problem.
[...]
[The] particular concatenations and distortions of language elements are almost impossible to imitate – they seem to result from an extreme loosening of the entire verbal associative system. As such, they may create a humorous effect,since the shift is so rapid and unpredictable that at times their remarks have the flavor of creativity and wit (the things that subjects say and do, in fact, are often very funny and it is sometimes difficult to keep from laughing at their antics, professional standards of decorum notwithstanding).
During severe delirium, attempts to clarify the intended communication by asking the subject to repeat or explain something are usually futile. It does not good to say 'What do you mean by that?' because the subject does not know what he said, does not really grasp the question and my not realize what he is saying when he answers.
[...]
Unlike schizophrenic psychosis, familiar to the clinician, delirium at its height shows no thematic consistency, no trend and no obsessional preoccupation with a single related set of delusional ideas, systematically connected in a persecutory or grandiose system. Instead there is a marked loosening of associations approaching randomness, muttered phrases, outbursts of profanity, scattered references and allusions to other times and places, brief periods of intense examination of trivial objects, facial expressions of perplexity or wonderment, chuckling amusement or tender concern, repetitious fingering of bedclothes or pajamas, sudden requests for information or personal articles (which are promptly forgotten) and so forth ad infinitum. When addressed the response is often courteous and noncommittal, such as 'Fine, Sir' in answer to the inquiry "How do you feel?.
[...]
Such individuals seem unable to appreciate the reality of their deficits, and will offer ridiculous alibis and wildly implausible explanations for their failure to perform adequately in the areas affected by their intoxication. Stalling and temporizing maneuvers are common, such as asking the examiner to repeat the question, or asking for clarification of the instruction when in fact they have completely forgotten it, inquiring naively 'You mean me?' or 'Did you want me to do that right now?'.
[...]
Paradoxically, one of the most reliable indications of recovery is the return of awareness by the subject that he is not as proficient as he should be. Subjects who received an incapacitating dose usually regain this awareness by the third or fourth day. By this time, their objective performance on addition and word recognition tests has generally risen to 80 or 90 percent of their baseline level, and the principal symptoms are some residual lassitude and blurring of vision..."
