Also Steve, A few months ago I GUESSED as to when GDGI might go back on BBW on OTC. I had been around the last time and thought it was a step by step process going by time in each phase. I was totally wrong on that. I finally got it by email from OTC Admin. There was a list of things that get you back on BBW. The one that may have applied to GDGI was putting out PR's while not current. (promoting while not showing all your cards. MY analogy) That is another BIG reason that I don't believe Ben says anything about, or even hints at, what's around the corner. I would think that saying that "we are trying to get current" fits into the definition.
Steve, to be perfectly honest with you, after last March I learned my lesson. All this emailing for info. only causes a lot of speculation and subsequent let down. I've only contacted him to very or disprove things that are said on this board. Like this last time I copied and pasted the post in question and asked,
"Mr. Lefrancois, You may remember that I have asked you to verify things being said on the I-Hub message board before. The supposed quotes from you to Wisebuys in recent weeks have been many. The latest was an hour ago, can you please verify that you are communicating directly with him. If so why are these not at least being posted on Facebook, why only him. Thank You
And he replied,
"I had someone e-mail regarding the David Levy sentencing being moved until January and asked if it would effect us. I replied no and we were getting close to being back on track meaning getting our financials updated. This is why I am reluctant to respond to people because it always gets posted. I try and update Facebook when I have news. I hope to be posting more often as we get up to date.
That is why I was skeptical about him saying, ya go ahead and release that email from Sept. while your at it. Well maybe I embellished a little! LOL
I agree for the most part. I think the part about the Levy money not mattering is most likely his day to day positive attitude.
A good thing to have when your struggling. I also think he knows better than to count chickens when he doesn't even have the eggs yet.
If he makes a big sale, all this craziness will be water under the bridge. How's that for back to back metaphors?
I'll make a deal with you. If start pasting the actual emails, I'll respond to them. This bit by bit is hard to track!
Do you remember this:
In reviewing our expenditures from 2010 through 2012, GDGI made the decision to dramatically reduce overhead by making the commitment to audit each segment of our expenditures and make a determined effort to lower cost. First, GDGI decided to change facilities, which saved thousands in monthly costs. With a combined effort of the management team and officers GDGI was able to reduce expenditures by 60%. This effort will ensure the maximum capabilities of retaining income from upcoming sales.http://www.marketwatch.com/story/greenway-design-group-inc-gdgipk-releases-corporate-update-2013-03-19
Again I will quote Gnosis ( hope he doesn't get pi**ed at me)
"The simplest explanation is probably it"
They are probably down to just cell phones now. If they have had no phone contact info. for 2+ months now, I wouldn't call that a sign of something promising. When is the last time anybody here got through on that line? Maybe its been 6 mths.
I also noticed them erase traces of their bad phone number and address from his email response. Look at a old email and then one recently. No logo, no address, no phone number, just BEN.
I don't mean this in a smart a** tone but, your like a man with a dream in search of a place to have it. I can't prove a negative.
If you turn out to be right you'll be the man. GLTU!
Those pesky facts, can't live with them, can't live without them.
"In Costa Rica there are Government banks that most of the people choose to bank with. They are Banco Popular, Banco Nacional, and Banco Costa Rica. "
http://news.co.cr/costa-rica-banks-and-what-you-need-to-know/538/
Click on the link for Costa Rica see the banks name?
http://www.prweb.com/releases/cool-n-save/pre-cool-evaporative/prweb9771350.htm
I do my research and can keep this up all day if you want to insult me!
(I) don't just make stuff up.
Ben/Facebook - Coolnsave has been testing in Costa Rica since September 2011. Looks like we are gaining momentum with the government and their engineers. Fingers crossed we are getting closer.
Ben/Marketwire - On a positive note, GDGI has been in the Central American markets now since 2011 testing on all three of the major banks in Costa Rica.
I was under the impression that the government engineers called in this HVAC group to do a independent test as a second opinion (3rd party) If that was wrong than show it to me. I'm a big boy, I can take it.
I hang around because of my interest in this stock. Sorry if I'm inconvenience to your ideas that you try to promote.
You do realize that the banks they have been testing with are state owned. That is why Ben had said, "we are making progress with the government and their engineers". I guess anything is possible but, I can't hardly see the government of Costa Rica buying GDGI. Governments with socialist leanings normal just take your stuff.
(Sorry, just a little humor)
When Ben emailed he was working on new contact info., that seemed to be sales speak for " I've got a lead on a new potential customer ". Further when he asked, " do you want something specific " that seemed to me to be " I busy son, quit bothering me ". But that's just me.
None of that adds to or takes away from GDGI's potential, IMO! Good Luck, you've been hanging in there a long time!
Here is some more humor for the board. The new check must not have cleared yet. Also I guess the possibility that it was going to buy new leases is out the door. They must just be trying to keep fuel in the tank as they run it for all its worth...

My point was, I'm not bashing for a lower PPS, I'm not expecting to get in at last years prices (rather, expect to get in once prices start to rise, if at all). I just thought it would be helpful for others to follow the advice of GNOSIS and kick back and wait ( if you choose to). Also think twice before buying into looking at any news that has been contorted to mean something that it is not. GOOD LUCK to you, I mean that.
Sorry if my lengthy post wasn't clear, my bad. What I ended with was,
"I can say that I plan to keep an eye on it for now and the 20's, if it comes, may or may not be a buy. With this stocks history I may be more inclined to chase."
I meant that, believe it or not. I also don't remember bashing the company. I think the "company" is a victim of hype in this case. Since it is rare for anyone to go against conventional wisdom on this board I just tried to offer balance to UNFOUNDED statements. I haven't recommended anyone to sell their shares. If and when GDGI obtains a contract of some size, there will be people ready to sell part of their shares to lock in a profit and MAYBE I'll get some then. I am not willing to take the chance to buy some even in the 20's since they have been testing now for 2 years with the same customer.
I don't think anyone has shown proof that GDGI is getting any money for sure. I believe its lay people surmising that. Also, this is not a civil case where the jury can award monies, that the judge can accept or reject. It is a criminal case, in which the jury has found guilt, which the judge can accept or reject. Then the judge will pass sentencing, incarceration and fines. I don't know that he will necessarily award monies at that time. If the US Attorney has found all their money then they have none to pay their attorneys. I believe at sentencing the judge will accept the invoicing for Levy's attorneys, if they don't appeal. If they appeal then their work is not done and their clock keeps running. (surely they won't try to run up the bill) When the judge retires to consider the money he will probably have to consider anyone else's claims/suits. So after the federal government collects their fines, and the attorneys get paid, everyone else can fight over the scraps. I wouldn't hold my breath. However it is no small thing that I BELIEVE that the debt be erased is a pretty safe bet. JMO!!
Hey Steve it just hit me when I was looking up another court case. That must have been you that deleted you post about Pacer yesterday. Your a pretty straight guy, I'm guessing that you answered my post from the last time you saw pacer, went and checked it again and then deleted the post while you verified what you found? I couldn't figure out why Admin would delete that post, now I get it.
Hope you get all the shares you can afford. You'll either be the biggest winner or the biggest looser, personally I hope its the former. You have worked for it. GLTY!!!!
Just to clarify, I mentioned months ago that my windows that I was watching were mid-July or mid-Oct. at which time I may get back in. (I always got a kick out of those who stated at different times I was pi**ed that I got out and just wished I was back in.) As we know this stock has been fraught with highly pumped expectations and dates of "to the moon". They have all come and gone.
Big Deal in March - 1st qtr. royalties from Korea, 2nd qtr, maybe 3rd. qtr.? - MRTX blastoff, how did that work out - July 4th, big party get your tickets - End of Summer blow out - Levy Sentencing, we are all going to get paid or at least some of us, unless you have sold your holdings you don't even have a loss to claim. Come on this basic stuff. - Levy Sentencing, Debt cancellation ( that the only one that seems to be a slam dunk - you can't charge for a illegal act. - Levy Sentencing, company get back the 5.6 mil profit made by the Levys. I don't know if they will see any of that money, its possible. Just keep in mind that they have seized 15 mil. and GDGI wasn't the most hurt (they're still in business), others may have filed a claim. The lawyers for Levy ARE GOING TO GET THEIR MONEY (when has a judge ever denied that?) And the sentencing possibilities also include 5 mil fine for David & Donna,each.
All these things mean very little, IMO, so we are back to GDGI doing their thing and if they are successful it will pay off big time. If Costa Rica doesn't happen then there may be no bottom to catch them.
So for the ones who PM me, I do not give stock advice nor am I qualified to ( that is another thing, no one should ever say " come on you have to convince them not to sell", you are putting yourself in bad place when things don't work out) I can say that I plan to keep an eye on it for now and the 20's, if it comes, may or may not be a buy. With this stocks history I may be more inclined to chase. If it were to go as high as some have stated who cares if you get in at .0020 or .008 or .0018. Its not hard to buy a stock that the news has already popped on. Would I sell now and hope for the teens or sell now and walk away, that is strictly a personal decision. GLTA!!!

Steve, what was the date that was posted?
I think that is the way its suppose to be. When I contacted Ben he finished by saying, " that is why I don't like to answer emails, because they always get posted ". If we didn't get these half baked posts I would never email him. He is not going to tell anything that he is not ready to make public.
I got it straight from Ben and verified it myself. You can call the court clerk. Like I mentioned earlier, sitting around waiting for others to fill your research needs is lazy and risky, not that your doing that.
On another note, Congrats, on your other plays. I bought into Tesla back in June. It had a good run and now its in a hickup, but I believe it will come back.
I agree on all accounts. As I have said I'll get back in low if the opportunity arises and maybe just chase it when something real happens. I was in before at an average of .0019 and sold at a average of 2.5 times that, approx., I trickled it back in so as not to cause a big drop. If I don't play it again " oh well "
I do think that over touting Ben's emails is a shame because I don't think he has ever tried to mislead us. He is just very optimistic, always I think. Not a bad trait to have as a CEO. But, as we learned in March optimism doesn't always pay the bills.
I believe Gnosis has always said we should all learn not to over do it when it comes to expectations, they lead to short term disappointment. This board has repeatedly gone from one next big thing to another and so far none have come true. But one day...
So why were you being so sneaky about the email from Ben. You asked him if the Levys would effect other things in Costa Rica. Then he gave you a response. Yet it seemed that you were trying to give the impression that you had secret knowledge that couldn't be shared. "Your kidding", how about give me a break," Wisebuys has been chosen by Greenway Design Group to leak all our INSIDER SECRETS ", don't tell anybody. SSSHHHHHHH! I'm not the first one to call BS on that email, am I. I don't think Ben was all that happy when I copied and pasted your post to him. Try getting some more insider stuff.
Why then were you hiding the fact that you knew that the Levy sentencing date had been moved forward 2 months. All that cryptic talk about the message from Ben seemed to be designed to do one thing. Hide the news about the Levys. I wonder if Nathaniel would have liked to know that little tidbit when you told him " last chance to buy before the weekend " or possibly Angelman would have liked to know that before he dropped another G an hour after your big announcement. Maybe it would not have bothered them, but maybe egging someone to buy while knowing that is sneaky.
You can also remind everyone that I said I might buy back in last May, never tried to hide that fact. If I get back in at those levels or something higher good, if not, that is good too. I'm not keeping my eggs in one basket or all my baskets in Pennyland, that would be foolish. The fact is smearing me doesn't make what I say untrue!
Shurik, post 19848 may be of some interest to you and some of the other straight shooters who call BS when they hear it. Thinking this will set off your email before someone tries to delete it. Good Luck
Just saw the comments after my last post earlier. Just to say it to everyone, I did contact Ben right after the WOW post last Friday. I didn't get to read it until that evening and I guess you can pick and choose the words you need to get the "message" you want to put out there but that doesn't mean you have given everyone the biggest immediate news.
This news has been known by those who follow court documents. I can go with the ones who don't like the possible reaction this will bring. Just another let down to the ones always touting " its just around the corner, no really its true this time". I can even understand the ones who go MIA so they don't have to talk about it, can't blame them there. However, no one should continue to beat the drums of " hurry, last chance before next week " , when they know full well about this news.
You, can argue all you want about it not mattering because of " there is something better now", but argue that after you give them all the facts.
Contact the people who are suppose to be making statements yourself.
Get your own Pacer account.
There is a whole lot of information out there if you sharpen your research skills.
I won't say anymore unless someone asks for it. The last time I brought research to the board that was not pleasant I was told I was a thief.
Doesn't make any sense. If I were Steve I would get that put back up. I've had posts wrongly deleted and they had to be put back up. Unless he deleted it, I don't know why it is gone??
For those who may have wondered. Steve answered my question and now that post is gone.
"cant see any updates yet. Looks like we will have to wait until the 24th"
Thanks Shurik, but I was talking about over the last 2-3 wks. I have seen a lot of these court cases have changes or updates just before a scheduled court date. Maybe you can contact Steve since he has been on a couple of other boards for the last month, I don't have PM.
Steve, can you tell us if you have checked Pacer lately for any possible updates? Thanks
Did you see my question in 820? Thanks
Where is everyone, I thought this is suppose to be " The Week "? Are they posting on other boards or what, I don't get it. I guess I'll pull back and see what happens. Not the start I thought I would see.
I just did a 1 min. scan but maybe, its encouraging that they didn't dilute for funds that they needed. This note may have a short term effect as apposed to diluting.

Wise, in 19775 you said Ben had been avoiding your email. How long did it take for you to get a response. I'm wondering how busy he was before he had time to respond. Also I understand you said as much as you can but what was your question in the first place.
The only thing that did or did not happen from the May split was E-trade never settled their shares, the last I heard, but Scottrade did. It looked to me that E might have been heavy into Shorting because you had to call them to sell your shares but you could buy them electronically. You could do either electronically on Scott. It appeared to me that E was trying to control the sells so they didn't get bit on their stern.
Thank You, I'll let you know if I find anything on that.
What about any other claims, i.e., other companies that they defrauded (even if they are no longer in business) or their lawyers ( are they being paid out of that 15. I guess I'm wondering how long any possible pay out might drag out. I don't know for sure in a case exactly like this but normally this kind of thing drags out for months or longer while the lawyers keep running up their bill. Fairness would dictate otherwise but we are talking about lawyers after all.
Steve, its around that middle of Oct. time that I mentioned a couple of months ago. Do you know for sure that they secured that 15 or so mill that they were supposedly going to seize?
I just figured out that I have been going about this all wrong. For a mere 36K I can own the whole company which means I own 15% of Village Tea. Then I can ask Martin Ekechukwu why he would get in bed with these guys. He seemed like such a respectable guy when I saw him on Dr. Oz a year or so ago. I guess we are not the only ones to learn the hard way!
Thank You. As I stated a few months ago, mid Oct. was one of my possible re-entry points. When I got out I put the money from GDGI in my account with my normal stocks (non penny) and bought a stake in TSLA. That did well until recently when they had a set back. I'm hoping to sell some of that soon and maybe put some back into pennies. As I mentioned in the last post GDGI is referencing the government because THEY are the customer. They are dealing with 2 state owned banks. I remain cautiously optimistic on how that will work out. When I dug deeper into their national politics I do have some concerns about doing business with a customer who has Communist leanings, but that is just me.
Costa Rica is a Democratic Republic however, one of the two main parties is a Social Christian Unity Party. That is why there are two Government owned banks there which GDGI is dealing with. This SCUP is also very protective of foreigners coming there, making investments and then leaving with the profits. They want the profits to stay there as much as possible. I saw back in January there was a bill introduced to place a 25% tax on all profits leaving the country, that is one of the reasons I pulled my money until I saw how that went. I have not seen what became of that bill, if anything.

Not your mistake. This is a legal document, if it was business days it would have said so. A notice like this does not infer anything, it states it. If it was a shipping date for a product you ordered, then they may infer business days.
Upddate: just saw the next posts, guess you know this already, sorry
