SECTION 3-9: CHANGE IN PERSONNEL OR OWNERSHIP
In the event one or more members of a firm or partnership withdraw from such business,
the business may be continued by the remaining person or persons, partner, or partners under the
same liquor license for the remainder of the period for which the license was issued to the licensee
or licensees. The change in ownership, however, shall be reported immediately to the Village and
the change shall be shown immediately on the original license application then in effect filed. The
failure by any licensee hereunder to comply with the provisions of any part of this section shall be
considered and deemed cause for the revocation and cancellation of the liquor license issued
under this chapter by the Liquor Commission. In the event the total of fifty percent (50%) or more
of the stock of any corporation, or membership interest in an LLC, or interest in a Partnership, is
transferred or sold to another person, corporation, LLC, partnership or other entity, such transfer or
sale shall require a new license be obtained from the Liquor Commissioner and a new license fee
be paid as provided in this chapter. A Certificate of Occupancy must be applied for and issued to
the business owner before a new liquor license can be issued.
K. Upon approval of a liquor license by the Village Board of Trustees, a Certificate of
Occupancy must be applied for and issued to the business owner before a liquor
license can be issued

Let me know if you need anything else. I honestly don't think Ross simply took the money for the sale of Lena so that he could then violate the ordinances.
And he probably didn't appreciate getting a call from the powers that be about the PR claiming Lena was a subsidiary.
Tony's cornbread ain't done.
The terms of loans are regulated for financial institutions........
The owners are responsible for the taxes.......and
the local government approves the transfer of ownership, regardless of what money may be in escrow, bro!
I don't know where the pps is going......but
I do recall many were claiming misinterpreted disclosures led to the sell off. Max filed again on 4/2, which led to the correct interpretation.
That was two weeks ago and the pps keeps drifting down.
Could this be the reason for the price drop and why the music stopped?
While non-ferrous targets have been identified by the SeaSearcher, none of these targets have been exhumed yet. There is also a strong possibility that there are no artifacts of significant value located at the Juno Beach shipwreck site.
If the tech works, wouldn't they know if was a strong possibility either way?
And is that why they're apparently in no hurry to start digging?
Anything is possible. Tony has already CONvinced.....
some APRU was buying a brewery, as well as conducting business in Illinois.
One water carrier even said something like, Tony wouldn't make a public statement that wasn't true.

#shakethepompoms
I thought the "A" stood for "Acquisition".....
My bad.
#gotlena
I'm sure Tony will reach out to the Village......
of Lena and explain to them that APRU actually did acquire Lean Brewing and show them how their records are jacked up.
And Ross will likely join the conversation. They didn't ask me if we were selling to APRU.
Not like we have a pattern here.
$1.8MM is revs Q1 2021

We're going to pick up the check and close on the deal
#getoutthebrooms
Do you have to LIE too? The jurisdiction needed……
to approve the transfer of ownership got to the bottom of Tony’s scheme in a matter of hours, if not minutes.
And for Tony’s water carriers, it’s just how he rolls.
It’s all good.
Get out the brooms and sweep it under the rug. Our hero is a serial LIAR!
Forgotten: The Lost Crew of the RMS Titanic (1912)…….
Like Tony, they’re pretending. Tony pretended that…..
APRU owns a brewery, and they pretend he never said it.
They’re a good fit.
Now whatever you do, don’t call Tony a clown. They’ll pretend that’s mean.
I’m glad I reached out the Village of……
Lena. Reaching out to Tony is as useless as tits on a boar hog.
Yet folks still say…..hit Tony up with that.
The guy LIES and says they own a brewery and his boyz pick up the water buckets like nothing ever happened.
Rather pathetic but not unexpected.
The revs are necessarily collected when reported.......
With Tony's history of repeatedly making false claims, the filings can't be trusted.
According to the Village of Lena, it……
certainly appears that is the case.
Tony never responded to my email, so I reached out to them.
The reason alcohol is tracked so closely by the Feds, states, and locals is summoned up in one word.
TAXES
The owners of these establishments are responsible for the taxes owed. If Ross transferred ownership to Apple Rush, I guarantee you he would want his names removed ASAP.
The Village of Lena approves the transfer of ownership.
Regardless, I’m sure folks will continue to carry Tony’s water.
And whatever you do, don’t call Tony a clown. That’s mean.
Lying is okay according to some, but calling him a clown is down right mean.
GL
Lena isn’t selling to APRU per this email……
from the Village of Lena. I enquired if the transfer of ownership had been transferred as it was suggested in the last PR.
What the heck is Tony doing?
Our Liquor Commissioner did reach out to the owner of Lena Brewing Co and confirmed that LBC is not transferring any ownership to Apple Rush.
Thank you!

I sent an email to the Village of Lena.......
regarding a transfer of ownership.
If you listen to the Feb 14th Twitter call Tony did with JRC_Spaces Tony talks out of both sides of his mouth when compared to the December Supplemental he filed.
They own the brewery but can't assume the loans?

So, longs can prove ownership of Lena?…….
That’s quite an admission.
Feel free to call her. You can even……
ask if she questions yesterday’s PR.
Knock yourself out. Make Tony proud.
Just remember, we all have her number. So if you wanna BS everyone, there’s a number we have to validate your claims, as well as mine.
I’m happy to share it.
Come on Shadow, be a hero.
#tlb
Tony hasn’t responded. I also sent an email……
to the County Clerk. She responded by phone and referred me to the Village of Lena.
Her eyebrows were raised as APRU nor Tony is listed as owners of Lena, as well as the fact Apple Rush is a revoked foreign entity in Illinois. Yesterday’s PR made absolutely no sense to her.
The Illinois ABC updates licenses daily as licenses are suspended daily. If APRU acquired Lena they would be listed as owners.
I will reach out to the Village of Lena on Monday if I don’t get an explanation from Tony before then.
Have a great weekend.
Inbound could mean coming from St. Augustine…
His point was, it didn’t appear to be headed to Spain loaded with treasure or anything else for that matter.
Yes, the in route would have been on the east side of the Bahamas.
As mentioned, large amount of ballast……
can equal a relatively light cargo. Add to that, the big ole ballast pile doesn’t bode well for the “alleged” $15B valuation, which MFT emphatically denied.
There have been no meaningful valuables found, no silver bars, just a few coins.
The wreck was excavated down to and under the hull (see pictures posted) by multiple salvors prior, and more experienced teams who concluded its lack of value and left after 1 or 2 seasons.
Then, SFRX arrives, and instead of saying Gary Randolph (MFT) placed a value in the billion$, they say they can’t determine a value without knowing the origins of the wreck.
But now that SFRX has a super duper treasure detector, I’m sure critics will soon be eating crow.

Good morning Shadow. Hope your Friday is.....
going your way.
BTW, where did the bid go?
Dude, you said they were killing it......and
Ross was right there in the battle.
I repeated that several times. It was good that you went and put eyes on it.
Okay, maybe you looked tore up from the floor up in one of those pics, but lighten up Frances.
So sensitive.
It's APRU 2.0 bro!
Be Happy!
I'm sure you do think it's childish to......
do due diligence.
You and others have had ample opportunity to explain how APRU is exempt but have resorted to name calling. I didn't even ask you. I knew better.
You do you bro!
APRU 2.0 is really killing it, huh?
They close one Lena, they said, and it's blast off!
Blah, blah, blah.
I just sent Tony an email. Thanks anyway......
This is where folks can say things like, Tony shouldn't respond, or he shouldn't waste his time with you cuz u r such a meanie.
It will likely be the same folks that say......YOU SHOULD ASK TONY.
Happy Masters Friday!
Do you care to explain why Tony would not......
announce they closed on Lena?
He went from saying the lender was balking on loan assumptions to Lena is their subsidiary.
Or explain how they would be exempt from registering with Illinois?
Is this Elev8 all over again? And wasn't that deal with another pinky?
Yeah, Bud Light had that great marketing campaign…….
didn’t they?
IDK what’s going on with APRU and Lena, but I do recall a long who broke bread with Tony (the CEO) claimed AB wouldn’t be registered and licensed in all states they produced and sold product.
Then I showed him they were.
I hope this works out for ya, I just came over when I saw the news. It was then I saw some familiar faces.

On a couple of occasions I have spoken with……
someone who was captain and a diver on the Juno wreck.
It’s his believe it was inbound from Spain or somewhere and not headed out. The origin was never determined.
He also said it could have been cleaned out and left to sink.
Let the digging begin.
We were told when Lena closed, APRU 2.0……
was on.
Yawn……
Maybe Tony should have PR’s that event.
It wasn’t a threat, geez. If APRU is…….
conducting business is Illinois they need to be properly registered.
If they plan to “fully acquire” Lena, they don’t need to do something stupid.
It wasn’t a threat.
Perhaps if folks were more secure about their investments they wouldn’t be so sensitive about comments.
Or, perhaps they could explain how APRU is exempt from being properly registered.
Interesting that they “acquired” Lena but never……
made an announcement.
Tony said they were going to pick up the check and close on the deal back in Aug 2022.
Then it would be a MLK Day 2023 closing.
Then the Signing Ceremony video tweet when they went UC.
Numerous announcements saying they were finalizing Lena throughout 2023.
Then the Dec supplemental about how close they were, followed by the lender issues assuming notes.
All those announcement about what was to come, but NOTHING about them closing.
Hmmm
Didn't Tony claim sales of $1.8MM for Q1 2021?.......
Didn't he claim in Aug 2022 he was picking up the check and close on the deal?
Then they changed to a MLK Day closing in 2023 for Lena.
Throughout 2023 we kept seeing....we're finalizing Lena.
Then we got this in December.
On December 18, 2023, the Apple Rush Company, Inc. transferred by wire the $255,000 balance to Lena
Brewing, Inc. (“Lena Brewing”) to pay off outstanding promissory notes to various founders of Lena Brewing.
This payment is the final payment after the initial $500,000 payment wired in October 2023. APRU and Lena
Brewing will be working with Lena’s lenders for transfer of responsibility of outstanding loan covenants and
guarantees to APRU and upon lender approval and transfer, APRU and Lena Brewing will file required
paperwork with governmental agencies to transfer ownership of Lena Brewing to Apple Rush Company, Inc.
as a wholly owned subsidiary.
And recently Tony said the issue was getting the lenders to approve APRU assuming notes in order to close on Lena.
But suddenly the REVOKED entity owns Lena, but never PR'd it? Could that be because it wasn't a full acquisition as he said it would be?
Apple Rush claims they acquired Lena, but their.....
registration is REVOKED in Illinois.
Further, they aren't listed as owners on the licenses.
It would be bad if the wrong people saw this PR and looked into it.
Maybe they acquired less than 5%, but they still need to be properly registered.
GL
Tim was responsible for getting SFRX shut down......
in the ring area. I wouldn't call that a success.
The timing was interesting too. The month before Tim instructed divers to violate the permit, Kyle said the weather and sea were finally perfect for the tech to scan.
Also, Kyle and Tim didn't seem to get the message from Spain's attorney.
https://pretendradio.org/episode/treasure-hunter-michael-torres-vs-seafarer-exploration-corp/
Tony says they CLOSED on Lena.....wow!
Through its subsidiary, Lena Brewing, Apple Rush possesses the manufacturing prowess required to bring innovative beverage concepts to life.
Yet when one goes to the SOS website, the same principals from last year are still listed. Tony is not even listed as a Director of Lena Brewing. And of course Apple Rush is still REVOKED while claiming to do business in Illinois.
https://apps.ilsos.gov/businessentitysearch/businessentitysearch
Nor is Tony or Apple Rush listed as owners on the licenses. So, did the FULL ACQUISITION mean less than 5% ownership?

Since you appointed yourself the "expert" on success.......
Can you opine how an accumulated loss of over $28MM in 17 years with not one significant find under its belt, makes SFRX so special?
Thanks
I’m with ya. Let the dig begin…….
The folks at the dock are patiently waiting on them to bring home the bling.
It’s a hot air balloon until it isn’t…….right?
Waiting at the dock bro!
