Carl, how many peter snake stories do you think there are? Here is one for you, Pete the snake asks to borrow money to go go China with GL, the investor tells pete, "When will you pay me back?" Pete the snake says as soon as the containers come in from China you will see huge returns on your money!" Pete the snake doesn't say he will be using investor money to stay at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong with GL, that part is left out. As for the containers from China..... well customs seized them for having illegal contraband. Containers are still on hold by US customs.
Does anyone think ANY container that pete the snake brings in will not be opened and inspected?Don't expect the fast track on those containers. Meanwhile, the snake slithers to Disneyworld, which is appropriate, since peter lives in never never land, or Fantasy land most of the time!
dick the realtor- Carl is only pointing out the truth. Newbies don't know they've lost their savings until it's too late. Carl knows his money is gone, but stopping the CONVICTED FELON Peter Michaels from ruining other people's lives is noble, and gives him valid reasons to post.
The idiots that post, "news is coming tomorrow, hop-on has great news......" those are the people who should shut their mouths. They are helping a criminal line his pockets. IMO
I think michaels plate is pretty full with lots of legal problems, pete can't focus on anything right now but keeping the lies straight.
I agree, I think there will be great press releases this week, what with Peter in court next week, he will need money for his attorney. As I've told you guys before, if Peter has court, he pumps the stock to cover the attorney costs. I'm told the hearings on Monday and Wednesday are serious. Monday will supposedly cover Peter's personal spending from his various companies. Supposedly it's scheduled for three long hours, I would pay for that one. And guess what? IT"S FREE! Anyone can go watch The District Attorney grill peter on his hop-on, scw, and uscig finances under penalty of perjury before a judge.
If you want to see where shareholder money is going, you might want to go to court next Monday and listen to Michaels explain his way out of this with the district attorney. Seems Peter's bitter ex has finally gotten him into court. No matter what we all say about her, she may be the one that finally gets some light shed on Hop-on's finances. I think I will go, I know several people have been subpoenaed, and are not too happy about it. HERE'S YOUR CHANCE FOR REAL D&D.
I look for major dumping by pete to cover attorney costs for the contempt trial. after all, petey has a lot at stake here. Yes, I believe lots of action this week to raise money for next. Am I the only one who thinks my shareholder money should not be used to fund michaels personal attorney bills?
Interesting...doubt probation would let petey boy take a vacation to Orlando. Then again, looks like free time is running out. tic toc tic toc!
Carl, good to see you back, we have missed you. Even if petey boy is on vacation, he will need to be back this week for court appearances.
What company is based in Temecula with an orange county fax number? Does anyone know if hop-on's new address is an actual office, or another mail drop?? Sounds to me petey might collect a bunch of money for shipping, but I doubt anyone will get product, IMO. Looks like pete's come up with a way to get more money from people, their credit card numbers, and all for a promise of something pete "is going to ship!" Can we go pick up our free trial ecig and avoid giving a convicted felon our credit card information?
What was that billy? Here is some great advice for those of you waiting on the fence to buy. WAIT UNTIL AFTER APRIL 15! A little birdie told me petey has some "legal issues" that week in court, if the outcome is bad, bye bye petey....A little inside note, I can't imagine the outcome being good, rumor has it the bitter ex is not backing down, this is not good for petey. A contempt charge could land petey in jail, so let's all wait and see who is smarter, petey boy, or the bitter ex he talks everyone's ear off about. I guess petey was right, seems he tried to offer her money to settle from what I hear, her response supposedly was she would pay for him to go to jail. WOW that is either a bitter woman, or a smart woman given pete's track record with broken promises. Can't wait to hear about the outcome of those hearings. Anyone know where and what time, I would love to go watch, I heard it's a three hour long hearing where petey gets grilled by the child support district attorney over ALL companies he owns or has interest in. You want to know the truth, that's the hearing you want to be at!
AND WHEN IT DOESN'T? Let me guess, it will be next week....Does anyone know the name of petes new attorney? I bet I do, and it's not a patent attorney. LMFAO Some of you delusional followers are getting taken for another ride. Michaels needs to come up with quite a bit of money for personal issues, someone is going to have to give it to him. Wonder who the sucker will be?
Dof F- when is the meeting supposed to be, and when does he HAVE to circulate the documents to shareholders?
so true mathias. what these guys don't know is the only pattern here is petey selling shares to pay his attorneys. He has found someone private to dump them to. Hope probation doesn't find out, petey is not allowed any transactions without permission. Wonder how much the new defense attorney is? petey has THREE WEEKS, IT'S MAKE IT, OR GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL. a little birdy told me petey knows he's screwed, but the ex is going all the way this time. I think that one has had enough of petey lies over the years. Just watch guys, a woman will do him in, and we will all look like fools for not selling.
ragtime, has anyone on this board ever tied the massive selling into the legal personal bills petey may have? a little birdie told me petey has a few appearances in the next few weeks, and it doesn't look good. Think about it; petey will sell every share to stay out of jail..... me thinks he may need to sell all of his and everyone else's for that to happen. then again, he could sell all the shares on nasdaq, and I don't think he's staying out of jail, imo of course. I heard petey wants to make nice with the ex, the only problem is she took her ball and went home.
Pizza- who are these "big time lawyers"? Are they for business, or are they being used for petey boys personal issues?
I believe pm "had an am ex" at one time. He used to proudly show his "black american express card" to everyone like he was so wealthy. Come to find out it was his ex-girlfriend's card, the ex pete likes to blame for all of his problems. Kind of funny that she had a black am-ex card. Where is she, put her in charge, at least she has credit. IMHO while I LMFAO. Or, if she was stupid enough to let pete use her card, maybe I can con her into letting me have one too!
caught- why couldn't they "just fabricate it?" that is what peter has been doing for the last 10 years. You know what I think, probation and Federal Authorities are so up peter's azz that he can't release anymore bs. BTW, how many on this board have SCW Online shares? Another company "supposedly formed to finance Hop-On, this of course was stated by Michaels own attorney in a declaration recently to the Federal Court. Wonder if ole pm is trying to weasel out of Hop-on and into SCW or USA Cig, Inc. Seems like a repeat of world wide web turning into hop-on turning into ????
Sorry petey boy, that trick is old news. Not going to work for you anymore. You better have a better plan than that if you expect to raise money for a viable business. Has anyone asked who is paying pete's criminal attorney? Are shareholder funds being used for these criminal attorneys?
love the jack daniel reference, but could the new ceo also drink jack? Bad sign to me....Has anyone talked to peter? is he still ceo of SCW, like his criminal defense stated in his declaration to federal court?
PM perjures himself in court constantly. Anyone seen his most recent debtor's exam? If his mouth is moving, he is lying. Anyone who knows Pete knows this to be true. I gotta feeling.......that peter will be getting a new home soon. He won't have to stay at mommies anymore, and he may even get a roomie named bubba! wonder if peter is thinking of fleeing the country again? He did once before to Australia, and thought about doing it when he was going to do his piddily 8 months. GUESS WHAT PETER? you will be doing the three years, plus additional time. IMO And you can mark this post. I wonder what happens to someone in prison who has dentures? IMO, not a good place to be if you are toothless.
My exact thought mathias. I think you are right. Michaels can't borrow money on his own with probation breathing down his neck, so he is now going to be a puppet master with Jay. Same trick, different day
buster-" He has a good relationship with Federal Governments?" What Government? I know pete can spin sh*t into gold when he talks to you, but surely you are not talking about our Federal Government? You know the one that just extended his probation, and put strict restrictions on anything that has to do with peter michaels dealing with money? THAT GOVERNMENT? Our Federal Government that has already subpoenaed several people to get information for the grand jury that will surely indict peter michaels again, IMO. Wow you aren't very bright if you believe that. That's funny.
DoF- di mauro has a judgment for 400,000 against petey boy. You think pete would focus on some type of business plan to make money, instead of suing people who have money- he always loses. It so pathetic, because he isn't even a good criminal, he's just been lucky. The attorney girlfriend saved him once with the CIA letter, but she won't be pulling any more kangaroos out of the hat, she needs to worry about her own cell that is being readied for her.
69- I highly doubt any big wall street investors told you that. Maybe peter did, but he didn't even graduate college, and is not even able to get a credit card with all the judgments he has. you really are funny, either you are being bamboozled, and can't see it, or you are in the inner circle, which puts you in the next indictment. Can't wait to see how this plays out...
It will be like a runaway freight train alright. I'm sure it will be the biggest train wreck ever. I GUARANTEE peter michaels is going to jail, and there will be no more hop-on. How about that for a prediction? And maybe it will happen this week, and if not then there is always next week. Something tells me the middle of April is going to create some HUGE problems for ole pete. I hope the honest people on this board sell all their shares IF peter is able to pull of another pump and dump in the coming weeks. Don't listen to pete tell you not to sell, while he is dumping all his shares. If you can break even, get out while you can. And for those few shameless pumpers- I urge you to buy as much as you can, mortgage the house for hop-on. And then wait for the riches to come your way! I actually pity a few of the true idiots on this board, they just don't get it.
Mathias- keep up the good work, it is always good to see people trying to stop criminals from stealing from others. DoF- how is it down under, would really like to know the connection between pete and the guy who was murdered, that was before my time. Good luck to all who are naive and truly believe the snake oil salesman, and to the crazy former attorney and peter, you will both get what is coming to you, hope you look good in orange!
oh, I know peter has a wonderful team of lawyers, too bad his last attorney wasn't paying attention in the revocation hearing, either that or he was mad he wasn't paid. I am sure GK would have caught what was going on. Unfortunately, all pete michaels seems to do is go to court and have a p.o. box. I think the court stuff matters, as he is not allowed to borrow money, take out a loan... You know it, you are just trying to con more newbies into investing. I would love to post a link to pacer, but as I said before, it's 8 whole cents a page, unlike hpnn shares, it isn't almost free. I gave you the case number, it's pretty simple.
And yes, all the old timers know pete has many lawyers, who do you think payed those attorneys? We did. If pete would stop trying to personally sue everyone he feels has wronged him, he might be able to run a company, IMO. What makes it even worse, is he LOSES! I heard one of the bitter exes even beat "his lawyers" by herself. Yes, I don't think anyone has anything to worry about, from what pete says she isn't too bright, so if she could beat pete, anyone could.
almost midnight, can't wait to see what happens tomorrow. tick tock, tick tock
caught, please step gingerly when making such assumptions. We all know what happens when you make assumptions. Since we are playing the guessing game, I would think you would especially know what happens to those who assume things with peter.
I don't "need" to be debated, however, there are a few on this board that try to lie about statements I make that are true, and can be found by looking up documents that are public knowledge. The case number is 08-cr-00157 JVS. All you have to do is log onto the pacer website and you, too, can read all about it. The quotes I posted are from the January 8, 2010 probation revocation hearing for peter michaels. The attorney quote was from document 59. It's really simple to do. However, it will cost you 8 cents a page, which means some of these posters will have to choose between buying a hundred shares of hop-on, or looking at the document!
steal- you think there is going to be a merger? WOW, THAT IS BIG NEWS. Since Peter is both companies, is he going to look in the mirror and talk to himself? Of course he is. Just like he did with binkyroo. It is so hard to watch you make such incredibly misleading statements about the two companies. The pumpers on the board continue to argue the past is the past, well, history is just about to repeat itself, AGAIN!
pete came up with some money to bring the company out of default, and you act like he walked on water. Most companies make sure they never default. But since Hop-on, binkyroo, net pirates, graffiti wireless, LB homes, SCW online, and uscig are all owned by michaels, it is a big deal when he does something small like stay current on his business license? I guess that is a lot to ask of a company that uses a $30 dollar a month p.o. box for an office, from a guy who claims in Federal court that he has to live with his mommy to survive- that is until he gets some newbies to fund him, then it's back to the beach for ole pete. IMO
If you try to debate this, I will post the court documents, that are public information. Even pete's own attorney, James Riddet, states, "Clearly, Mr. Michaels does not have the most organized financial life." WOW, that is an understatement. Wonder if Riddet has been paid lately? michaels attorney also states that SCW Online paid for his trip to China, at least in part. Riddet goes on to argue that, "what probation doesn't understand is that SCW online is not an electric cigarette company but was formed to financially assist Hop-ON." USA Cig, Inc was formed to sell that product." WHY DOES MICHAELS NEED ALL THESE DIFFERENT COMPANIES TO "ASSIST" HOP-ON? This was argued in Federal court, and submitted by Pete;s attorney Riddet in a declaration dated January 5, 2010. How many people on this board own any SCW shares?
I WONDER if all investors know that michaels only started SCW to fund Hop-On?
69- I guess you could call me a hyena, because I sure laugh at pete all the time. Wicked, I don't think so. I don't con people out of money and have multiple judgments against me for defrauding investors like pete michaels does. Court documents are what they are. No hiding those facts. Let's try to stay in reality. (notice it's let's as in let us- a contraction)
Man, what are you talking about? You are the one who stated he is a good man who bought his mom a house- which is a lie. Then you ask me if I still live with my mother, which is completely untrue and simply an ignorant, uniformed statement. What planet are you on? I challenged your statement about peter buying his mom a house with a fact, and a way to verify it. Don't post things if you don't have the facts. And just so we are clear, just because ole pete says something, you really shouldn't believe it. In fact, usually the opposite is true IMO.
I guess the good news will be next week, right........What a POS company, IMO.
Btw 69- I, unlike peter michaels, do not live with my mother, and haven't since I went to college. Something it seems like you did not attend judging by your poor grammer. Typical peter, spinning living at his mom's like it's a good thing. Anyone who knows peter knows he HATES the Inland Empire. Could peter be trying to switch his probation officer to someone in Riverside? Or is he that broke that he can't afford an apartment by his office- I mean p.o. box. What a joke.
Poor ole pete, no press releases, taking his family and moving in with mommy, really can't have sympathy for pete if you know he borrowed $100,000 from a guy in the past year, and did not pay it back. This is in court documents, filed in OC Court. Public information, anyone can get it. I WONDER if his mom BAKES for him?
69- THAT IS AN EVEN BIGGER LIE. PM does not own any part of his mother's house.
Are you saying he owns the house? I know quite a few people, besides the IRS, that have judgments against peter, so the house is not in his name. I think you are confusing peter with his brother, who actually owns the house. If you pull the title on the house, you will see it is in peter's brothers name. But I wouldn't expect peter to tell you the truth, he is lying to you like he does everyone else. You poor thing for believing him. It seems as if someone else is writing under 69, if it is who I think it is, you are very capable of looking up real estate information. Just incapable of seeing the truth. LMFAO.
caught- that is the biggest lie told today! Peter is honest, and a good man? What criteria are you using? He is on Federal Probation for money laundering. HE PLEAD GUILTY. Family man? How many families has Peter had to date? Religious- I'm sure Peter has found religion, and prays everyday that he won't be arrested again and thrown in jail for a long, long time. I think that prayer is falling on deaf ears, IMO. What a joke this company is. Why is the po box in Irvine when Peter lives at his mom's house? This is according to Peter's own testimony in Federal Court last month.
billy- you are so right. what everyone on this board is missing is that you can buy e-cigs all day long online, and in stores NOW. Why is it that hop-on seems to be the only one that has a problem with getting products? You are right on the money, if hop-on has no money, no office, and no warehouse, they can't sell a thing.
I agree it's a product that could make lots of money, but not if someone incapable of putting a sentence together is in charge. When is the next shareholder's meeting? We need a CEO that has a proven track record of getting things done. The peter lovers on this board that state they don't care about his criminal felony and current probation are correct when they say there are a lot of crooked CEO's out there. But at least they are making money for their shareholders.
Is it just me, or does anybody else on this board notice that 69 hemi writes differently than he/she did a few days ago. If you look up past posts, you will notice the spelling was much better, and the other person knew the difference between there and their. Maybe 69 hemi has a split personality.
Some of you may not think it's a big deal, but if you can't string a sentence together, running a company and writing contracts is going to be a problem. Just my opinion.
So if I am to understand this correctly, I should inest a lot of money tomorrow, because.....THIS IS THE WEEK WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! I will bookmark this post for next week. LMFAO
69- I know more than you will ever know about this company. Unless you are Peter. Do me a huge favor, invest all your money in it. Maybe you are right, after at least five failed companies, a conviction of a Federal offense of money laundering, and another FBI investigation underway as we speak, I'm sure peter will be a success this time! Kind of like all the leopards that change their spots.
What some of you don't get is the past is not the past, it is ONGOING....DO YOU GET THAT? THE INVESTIGATION IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. PETER'S LEGAL TROUBLES ARE HAPPENING NOW. We can all forget about the past, because the future is worse for peter, IMO.
HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO HEAR NEXT WEEK FROM YOU GUYS? Same old story, different group of bag holders. Don't say you weren't warned.
I agree you can make money if you don't listen to peter and hold this POS stock more than a day. Timing is everything, and we have all heard ole pete say, "my timing is just off a little bit..." LMFAO that you guys have the nerve to keep posting next week every week. THAT IS WHAT IS OLD ON THIS BOARD.
Exactly what I think they are doing. Dan and Peter lived in the same neighborhood, and Dan jumped ship early, beating peter at his own game. Peter never honored his contract with Dan Gannon, so Dan left, at least that what court docs allege.
Peter sued Dan, claiming he was going to take his house from him. Dan only countersued, but basically kicked his azz with a 3.5 million dollar judgment against peter and hop-on. Peter wasted a lot of time with his personal vendetta against Dan, and spent a lot of shareholder money trying to destroy Dan. And as usual, peter lost.
Peter has done this to an ex also, he will spend his time, shareholder money and use hop-on attorneys to sue people he is upset with. peter's is "corporate attornehy" lost both cases against her, and she had sanctions granted against peter. BTW, she was representing herself, and is not a lawyer. Shows you how competent they are over there at hop-on! If anyone doubts this, I can give you the case numbers for all three cases, and you can read how peter got his azz handed to him.
Maybe if peter focused on making a product work, and didn't worry about the success of people in his past, he might be able to do something. It seems his nature is to use whatever money he can to personally harass others instead of investing it back in the company. peter did this to his first wife for over 10 years. IMO, the guy needs to let go of his past, and worry about making money and concentrate on that. If he doesn't care about old exes, who he claims are "bitter" why does he sue and harass them on Hop-ons dime. Seems childish, I checked out what one of the exes was claiming, and the court documents stated exactly what she claimed.
Peter- move on already.
69- are you serious with that post? "his title is ceo", do you think that peter michaels is better than tbone because he holds the title "ceo" on a bunch of companies- none of which have made money for their investors? you aren't very bright.
Maybe you should remeber peter is a CONVICTED FELON ON FEDERAL PROBATION. I should hope none of us want to be like him. He lives with his mother- yes peter is a very successful ceo, that's obvious, LMFAO.....
And 69- in case you aren't aware, it costs a couple of hundred dollars, even less, to get a business license, tax id, and call yourself a CEO. Oh, and don't forget your PO BOX! another jole.
Just curious, DOES PETER HAVE A DEPREE IN BUSINESS FROM COLLEGE? Have you evr received a letter written by peter? I assure you it is full of grammatical errors, and I wonder if he even made it through high school. You should review your posts before you put up statements that to me are truly ignorant.
completely agree ragtime cowboy. peter likes to show potential investors his "purchase orders" so he can borrow money. he did this to one man who is suing him now, and helped make the probation strings a bit tighter for ole pete.
here's an idea; how about all the shareholders who personally gave peter money over the last two years for stocks get together and do a conference call with pete's probation officer. I'm sure pete's PO would be very interested in knowing how peter conned money from people with fake po's.
DoF- they just don't get it. peter has used the chineeses new year excuse at lesat twice before. Peter always has an excuse, you and I know that. Let them continue to think peter is going to do something positive.... He will have to make an awful lot of money before he can pay any investors or invest back in hop-on.
Let's see: he needs money to get back down to a beach house and out of mommies house.
If the escalade hasn't been repossessed yet, I'm sure it will be anyday. So he will need a car. He will have to pay child support or face contempt and jail time(so I have been told by two people on this board) and he owes his criminal defense attorney a lot of money. Matbe, after he takes care of all of that, he will buy some e-cigs to sell.
Did you know when the limited amount of hop-on phones were in Rite-aide (I think that was the store), peter had his employees and friends go buy them all so it looked like they sold out right away. That's a fact, a few people on this board participated in buying the phones, which they gave back to peter.
DoF- we know the truth, it's always "next week." Aren't you guys getting tired of hearing from the ceo that something "big" will happen next week? I keep hoping next week too, but not for the same reason as the new bagholders here.
caught with different personalities, I think you are talking about yourself. MY name isn't on any of those leases, but maybe your name is on paperwork filed as defending peter in some of them? Maybe you should post a "Guiding Light" web page for all of us. Seems you speak to peter quite a bit, and always have insider information to share. I sure hope you haven't been trading any shares while posting things on this board. If you say peter is a bad lover, that would be your opinion, I wouldn't know, nor do I care, a little bit too much information for me.
Maybe you can go th RUTH chriss steak house and work things out with peter. It is a fact peter has lived in those homes, he was evicted from every single one of them, as court documents show. Any one with half a brain can look it up on the internet, or go to the courthouse and read the entire file.
I would be a little worried as an investor if my ceo was always one step ahead of the sheriff because of an eviction. How can peter get any work done when he is constantly moving to different places?
Maybe he will stay at his mommies house for awhile, and be able to focus on one thing. Investors might be able to get their money back if peter can focus and actually follow through on something.
Mathias is probably still posting to warn newbies not to lose their hard earned money here. He is doing investors a favor. caught-up with peter posts obsessively everyday. Caughtwith peter, why do you obsessively post on the board, yet criticize others who post. How many shares do you have?
Yes, peter did live in a $10,000 a month house, and an 8,000 a month house, and a 12,000 a month house. caughtin the middle- don't bother with a negative post for me, you will make me post the leases, so everyone can see where their money has gone.
Court update, peter will be having a contempt proceeding soon, I will post the date and place when it gets closer to the day. Anyone in the oc should attend, pm will be grilled for three long hours I am told. He will have to answer questions about all companies, doubt he will tell the truth, but it should be great entertainment. When I get the exact date, I will post for anyone interested.
I'm sure David Worley is the contact person. Just like peter's driver, Danny Coleman is the contact person for hop-on. Actually, I would like to talk to this David Worley, what is the phone number, or better yet, what is the address of the office he works out of?
Funny how now that peter lives with his mommy (per peter's own words in Federal court), he now has offices in Temecula and Rancho Cucamonga. That is hilarious. Anyone who knows peter knows he HATES it in the inland empire. That just made my night. Maybe a family member took pity and gave peter an office in his building. What address is the Temecula office? bet it is owned by a family member.
Why have a po box in Newport Beach? If you have an office, have your mail sent there. Only two reasons I can think of:
1. peter is a little worried about process servers and others looking for him, and maybe commuting an hour and a half for a po box gets him away from his latest family for a little while.
2. Most of the people on this board know GL lives near newport.
How convenient.
