Welcome to MIKP. Are you here to try to prove that there's at least one CEO who is worse than Parkinson? LOL, maybe you win on that one.
Why would you spend your life this way?
You should read the post again. The words you are interpreting as statements of fact are actually that guy asking you questions.
I happen to believe that Mark did indeed submit the changes to FINRA. Why there is no answer yet, I don't know. I keep emailing Mark that I really think he should get MIKP current with its filings. I would imagine that being delinquent on SEC filings cannot be helping MIKP's case with FINRA -- though I don't know for certain that this is true.
Any writ sightings, Beverly? Could it be that me ribbing you about that might explain some of your rancor?
I traded this stock for years, but then, yes, I got caught holding shares too long and became a stuckholder. That's my reason for being here. What's yours?
As for all your tough-gal sex talk, that sounds to me like projection. Perhaps that's the real reason you're here?

Have any of your predictions about HHSE ever come true? How can you be so smug when you've always been wrong -- especially regarding the back-channel stuff about how EP is saying this or that? I don't get it. Wave to a clue -- your predictions never turn out to be correct.
Why does this matter? Well, you are among a group of people who could perhaps talk some sense into EP, but y'all never confront him. You just believe everything the guy says and praise him for his amazing stories of what will happen soooooon. What is the point? If EP were to lose his circle of supporters and be forced to be honest about things, maybe he and his supporters would be able to figure out a way forward.
Based on your ad hominem, you've got nothing good to say about HHSE. So, EP hasn't even managed to float a half-way decent summer rumor? Oh well. Maybe next year?
So, what's this summer's rumor? Form 10 filing in August? I've chosen to stop receiving the boiler room emails, so I'm no longer hearing all of that nonsense. Glad not to have the constantly-shifting goalposts, and yet when I'd tell the emailers that it was all BS, that back and forth gave me something to argue about other than politics. Plus, now I only see posts from the HHSE is in a coffee shop and HHSE has a writ crowd. Any juicy rumors? Perhaps more A-listers?
Any thoughts on why that buyer filed a 13G/A for his tiny (0.2%) position in POLA? Why would someone do that?
I used to think the CEO of POLA would sell/merge the company. It never got up to scale -- even though it has a technological edge as far as I can tell. So, I figured a larger company would buy them up -- a company in the military or EV sector. As the CEO gets older, I guess that will eventually make sense, but I'm glad I only have a small position.
Considering buying some more, but what a downward slide...
I was just trying to cut through to what you were making up and what the facts are.
Am I happy we are back to double black diamonds? No. Should this have been done already? Yes.
But I'm not going to fault Mark for failing to file an 8-k over DiPrima leaving if I don't have any idea that DiPrima has left. And same with Barton. Why jump to the conclusion as some have that Barton left? People are citing the tweet as evidence, but they maybe didn't even read the tweet, because it suggests that Barton is still the auditor.
But folks can make up whatever they want to make up -- and I see that Mark sort of enables folks to make stuff up because of the information vacuum.
You would be incorrect in imagining DiPrima sitting in MIKP offices, staring off into space. My guess is he has had very little involvement with MIKP, that involvement was likely remote, and he is dialing even that down now. Yes, at some point here there should be an 8-k, when he officially leaves.
My guess is that DiPrima is on his way out. I don't think an 8-k is needed until he has officially left.
If he was doing the books, but now isn't, I for one would prefer Mark not take that on himself. So, you can scoff at bringing someone in to help on that, but I'm glad Mark is doing so.
To summarize, the tweet refers to 2 different people -- the CPA doing MIKP's books and the CPA who is MIKP's auditor (Barton). Probably this bookkeeping work is being farmed out to someone who is at most a part-time employee or perhaps a contractor or so. If DiPrima was doing this and now someone else is, no 8-k is needed over who is handling the books. But I agree that if and when DiPrima leaves MIKP's management team, then an 8-k is needed.
As for why Mark is late, I think it is safe to say that Mark's strength is coming up with amazing IP -- not with filing forms and navigating bureaucracy. I do think he is getting better at it, but the whole FINRA/reorg/split/SEC bureaucratic challenge is a lot. If I could be buying 0.0002s, I would.
We don't know if DiPrima has officially left, do we? You are making that assumption and then inflating it into an SEC violation. I don't know why you do this stuff, but it is not based on facts.
What if DiPrima was doing the books and now someone else is doing the books -- would that require an 8-k?
I'm sure you know the answer...
Again, the relevant part of the tweet:
"We have secured CPA who is now working with auditor..."
Are you confused about this sentence referring to two different people?
And/or are you surprised that Barton (the "auditor" in the quotation) is a CPA?
My guess is that you are correct that DiPrima was doing the books. And, yes, they probably are not super complicated -- indeed probably downright simple.
Now they have someone else performing that function -- and it seem likely DiPrima is either stepping down from his role as bookkeeper or leaving entirely.
You immediately assumed they had lost Barton and failed to post an 8-k about it. But I think you were wrong.
LOL.
It seems bizarre to me that folks are looking at the tweet and failing to understand that MIKP has someone doing the books AS WELL AS an auditor (who is a CPA). The person they had doing the books (DiPrima?) left or is in the process of leaving, so they got someone else to do the books and to interface with the auditor. The tweet doesn't list names, but the meaning seems quite clear.
If DiPrima has left or is leaving, then I suspect we will see an 8-k when that is official. But if it is just someone working for MIKP who was preparing the books for the auditor, then I don't think that needs an 8-k.
Hopefully people are just misreading the tweet and not deliberately misconstruing it to try to hurt the company.
There is nothing in the statement you quoted that says Barton left or that MIKP needs to issue an 8-K about Barton leaving.
Is it just me? Or are folks making stuff up here?
Are you saying you know that Barton left? The tweet clearly says that the new CPA is working with the auditor. I don't get how you know from this that they are the same people. If you were CPA and auditor at a company would you say Tenkay the CPA is working with Tenkay the auditor?
I think they are different people. The CPA left and has been replaced with a new CPA, who is now working with Barton the auditor.
You gotta admit that my explanation is less of a leap than yours...
Thanks. I'm asking Tenkay why he is assuming something different from what was tweeted. The tweet clearly states that the new CPA is working with the auditor. Does hiring a new CPA require an 8-K?
I'm confused. What evidence do you have that Barton is their CPA, rather than their auditor? He was their auditor back when they file 10-12g.
That sure is some breaking news you got there...
...not!
SSOF has yet another fake business? Another suspect merger?
Wow.
Is Ken Bland still in the background, controlling the preferreds? Or some new guy?
Hey Submariner! We did used to have quite a family here, back in the day. Anyone hear anything from Frasier or Raphy?
We should have sued Idle Media and the principals... I should have sued.
But life is too short to spend it in litigation.
My guess is that the restructuring in DE hasn't yet occurred, so they needed to keep WY current. But that's just a guess.
Someone alerted me to your ongoing interest in me. I'm glad after seeing your post that I've still got you on ignore.
Feel free to lie all you want about me loaning money to Mark for discounted shares at that other company -- or whatever it is you are claiming this week.
And on HLNT, I was already out, with a huge profit, before whatever nonsense you're talking about. If you made more money on HLNT than I did or got angrier with the CEO or did whatever it is you enjoy doing, then more power to you.
That's all off topic. This is the HHSE board, and HHSE is never going to go anywhere but down until EP stops lying to his shareholders. And I suspect he knows that at some level. You probably do, too. But please be my guest and prove me wrong -- go ahead and run the stock to a nickel if you are all that you claim to be. I'm long here, so I'd love to see you do it.
Two weeks later, are you not troubled by EP's prediction of "next few days and weeks"? Or are you just giving EP a pass this time based on his record of meeting all of his other timelines?
What is EP's current excuse for not having an audit and Form 10? I haven't been in the insiders' loop of BS since I told them all to kiss my a$$.
I'm surprised you don't also see how wrong the naysayers have been. Predictions of massive dilution, the infamous writ, EP incarceration, bankruptcy, and more have all been entirely wrong. For over a decade.
And the "side" I am on, if you are really curious, is the side of saying that longs in EP's inner circle need to wake the f*#$ up and tell him to lie less and do more. They are accommodating his behavior by making excuses or buying into his excuses whenever he breaks his promises.
I remember that stock HLNT, where the CEO was pretty transparent about the problems he was facing. As I recall, shareholders helped him out and he navigated his way through a raft of problems -- and the stock freaking soared. There were some intractable problems, and I'm not going to say the CEO was a saint. But EP's BS needs to be called out by those in his inner circle. Things are not going to change until that happens.
I remember hearing reports of a guy who sat down to have lunch with EP. He heard a glowing story of the F10 about to drop, MyFlix launching, and much more. When none of that happened, the guy just got angry with people (like myself) who pushed for accountability. He was going to believe EP even after it was clear he'd been lied to. How the heck is that supposed to help anything? People need to be called on their BS. It is healthy, and it sometimes the only path toward a constructive solution. THAT is the side I'm on.
I've heard the same for a decade.
Remember all the hand-wringing over the writ?
Amazing that two groups of people can sustain this back and forth trading of insults and predictions on a daily basis for over a decade, with neither side having any sort of predictive accuracy whatsoever. And even more dismaying to me that somehow I was convinced to join one of the two sides!
Yes, for a long time I managed to trade this very well. I'm still not quite sure what came over me that caused me to change my strategy.
Ha ha -- well, if it had never broken a penny, I wouldn't have any shares with a penny-plus cost basis.
And I really think that if EP would spend less time on all of his lying and more time on the business and building shareholder trust that we'd be in a better place right now. You might be right that more people believe the blog than I am thinking. Certainly there are folks here who still believe it.
I'm long HHSE, and I don't understand how anyone can be long and not be demanding that EP stop lying to us. I think that for the good of HHSE and the stock price, it is important that EP not be surrounded by a bubble of people telling him that the lies are okay.
Did EP really put out that timeline with no intention whatsoever of meeting any of the promised outcomes? In what world is that behavior okay?
He is surrounded by folks who are cheering him on, whereas I think he needs to be hearing feedback on how lying is not okay. It hurts the stock price and destroys EP's credibility for if and when he accomplishes something and needs to have us place trust in him. I wish he and the people around him could see this.
I'll just add to the excellent overview that the reason why things have been on hold for so long is that MIKP was sent to the grey markets and couldn't raise the capital to get things going. Meanwhile, the CEO kept acquiring amazing properties: Vampirella, best-seller Wish, best-selling Ella Clah mysteries, and more. And, when the rule changes made it more favorable, the CEO self-funded the filing of Form 10 to get back up to OTC Pink Current Info.
Now all of the pieces are falling into place and the CEO is telling us on Twitter to get ready for some amazing news.
So, I've got my shares and am pretty darn excited!
I think you are correct. While I would have preferred a smaller A/S, there is apparently a massive amount of news that will be released after the reorg/split. Glad to see that people have stopped selling their shares in a panic down in the low trips. I have yet to sell a share.
Happy Uplist Day!!!
Oh, wait...nevermind
This is from years ago, no? Did you write this?
If he paired that news with an announcement about backing off the post-split A/S, I think this could get back over $0.001.
Eventually even you will see the pattern.
But in the meantime the uplist was "imminent" on Feb 2, and its price effect was going to be felt by tomorrow. If you could see the pattern, you'd already know how this is going to turn out. For you I suppose the suspense is still exciting and very real. The rest of us know it was all BS.
It is a shame, because EP really needs to have his biggest supporters tell him the truth about how damaging the lies are. EP needs that. Heck, we all need that to happen. As long as his loyal followers believe or pretend to believe what he says, I don't see him ever growing up.
I know you feel that I'm attacking him unfairly, but I really think he needs folks like you to be able to see his behavior for what it is and call him on it.

You know perfectly well these are not "unforeseen" delays. It has been a well over decade of bait and switch.
How many decades of this would it take before you catch on?
Maybe the bait and switch helps some to remain hopeful, but for me this nasty habit of EP's outweighs any progress HHSE is actually making.
Helping keep hope alive? To me, the more lies he issues, the worse his credibility is.
EP reminds me of some elementary school kid who swears up and down that he's going to do something, but has his fingers crossed behind his back. Just plain freaking juvenile. IMHO, having these meaningless and deceptive timelines is worse than just sitting around here watching the paint dry.
