21st Century Technologies Completes Business Development Company Filings; ``Significant Benefits Will Be Felt by `BDC' Conversion''
September 03, 2003 07:31:00 AM ET
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 2003--21st Century Technologies, Inc.'s TFCT Arland Dunn, president and CEO, announced today that pursuant to the Aug. 15, 2003 unanimous vote of the board of directors, the company has completed the filings to become a Business Development Company ("BDC") in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and guidelines.
Arland Dunn stated, "We expect that our Shareholders will benefit swiftly and significantly from our BDC status. Brokerage firms and investment advisors may now offer the Company's common stock to Investors of all classes. This significant benefit enables a wider investor base to learn about the Company as a Section 54(A) Investment Company. The primary reason for our conversion to a BDC is the capital-raising process afforded to these companies. BDCs have the ability to raise capital in a more efficient, investor friendly manner. Compliance and regulations in a BDC stipulates that 70% of all new investment falls to the subsidiaries or acquisitions. This may lead to increased shareholder value through future rights offerings, dividends and spin-off transactions as the business grows."
Arland Dunn continued, "In conjunction with our investment bankers, Compass Capital Group, the Company will be executing an aggressive acquisition and integration strategy. With adequate working capital and top-notch management in our subsidiaries, we will continue to focus on the growth of our businesses."
Mr. Dunn further commented on the progress of a business relationship between 21st Century's Trident Technologies, Inc. and the US Department of Homeland Security. "The access to capital afforded to us by Compass Capital will greatly enhance our opportunity to move forward with our project to sell ProMags to our nation's fire fighting departments, through a potential multi-million dollar Federal Government grant and contract. We will be able to demonstrate to US Homeland Security the ability to perform and fulfill the proposed production and delivery schedules. This is pivotal to 21st Century and of major importance to the safety and welfare of our nation."

Really????? WOW...I can hardly wait!!!! Real news?? From Frank?!?!?!? WOW!!!!!
(Insert stupidly sacrastic tone of voice here).
:)
so...pretty much everyone that bought at .0001 yesterday sold today at .0002 for 100% profit :>)
my pie-in-the-sky hope is that, indeed, the SEC _IS_ watching what may or may not transpire with QBID.
Thanks to Enron, et al, I think that the govt is FINALLY starting to look out for the common investor/shareholder, as 'we' are just tired of coporate theives.
Casino money is right.
HAHAHAHAHA
I don't find these posts to be be to 'soapboxy', but what I do find interesting is the common thread of complete mistrust and accusations of wrongdoing.
That alone is enough to fill out an official SEC Complaint Form. I've made some money flipping QBID over the past 3 years, and only recently decided on a buy-and-hold stategy. (not that I have a LOT of $ tied up in this).
But, since I haven't really done any serious DD (just 'cuz I don't want to), and I DO see the massive $$$ potential in a gay based cable TV station, I'm hanging in there.
That being said..just reading the complete and total BS that QBID is pulling on the shareholders (no PR's, lots of he said/she said crap) is enough to make me NOT want to play.
IMVHO--I just don't see how an R/S (or something like that if QBID merges with a fully reporting shell) is not going to happen. QBID has no revenue to speak of. And it has a )#))#load of shares. It just seems to me that any legit company looking to acquire them is going to HAVE to reduce the outstanding stock to make QBID's stock price worth enough $$ for the Market to take them seriously.
then again..what the hell do I know...
:)
uhm..how rich are we gonna get with a billion shares out?
Frankly, if it hits .05 again, I'll be thrilled.
yup. and some at .0002. sheesh.
broke the 100M share trade mark. wow.

I watched the bid/ask STAY AT .0001 from the opening bell until 11:30 today. Then the ask went up. I put my offer in at 9:20 am.
how do you possible explain a trade of 500 shares @ .0002 any way OTHER than blatent manipulation to get the bid up to see if anyone will chase it.
yeah..uh huh..who the $*#@)@ bought/sold 500 shares at .0002???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I'm TRYING to buy.. no one is selling to me.
anyone got a guess as to why there's no time/sales info for QBID this am that I can find? My pissy little order for 3 mil at .0001 hasn't been filled either ;>)
anyone able to get filled at .0001?
If TW is indeed in charge of this, there's no way they're NOT going to do an R/S on this stock. Nobody in the 'serious' investor group is going to take them seriously unless this is near $1.00.
VERY OT:
For those of you using PC's who may or may not have had a scare with the worm thing, the company has created a new website. Lots of great info.

I just have a gut feeling that QBID is gonna miss the boat this time. Someone with real clout and connections and reputation is going to jump on this bandwagon and do it right.
eCONNECT CEO PLEADS GUILTY TO SECURITIES FRAUD
The former CEO of eConnect pleaded guilty today to federal securities fraud charges for orchestrating a scheme to distribute false information designed to boost the stock price of the publicly traded company.
Thomas S. Hughes, 55, of Rancho Palos Verdes, pleaded guilty this afternoon to three counts of securities fraud for issuing false press releases and making false statements on the company’s website.
Both eConnect, which was based in San Pedro (symbol: ECNC), and Hughes were sued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in 2000 for issuing false press releases. In April 2000, to resolve the SEC action, Hughes agreed to a permanent injunction barring him from future violations of federal securities laws. In court today, Hughes also pleaded guilty to one count of criminal contempt of court for spreading misleading information about eConnect in violation of this injunction.
By pleading guilty, Hughes avoids a trial that was scheduled to begin on August 19 in federal court in Los Angeles.
Hughes is scheduled to be sentenced by United States District Judge Nora M. Manella on December 1, at which time he faces up to 30 years in prison for the securities fraud charges and an indefinite maximum sentence for the contempt count.
The SEC suspended trading in eConnect stock on July 26, 2002. At the same time as the criminal case was filed on August 7, 2002, the SEC filed a second civil lawsuit charging Hughes, eConnect and others with various federal securities law violations. After resolving the case against the other defendants, the SEC will ask Judge Manella to grant summary judgement against Hughes at a hearing scheduled for September 22.
United States Attorney Debra W. Yang said: “Manipulation of the markets will not be tolerated. Along with the FBI and the SEC, my office is committed to swiftly exposing any securities fraud scheme and to bringing perpetrators to justice. That commitment only increases when a defendant acts in violation of a court order intended to prevent these fraud schemes from recurring.
“The cases jointly filed by my office and by the SEC demonstrate our willingness and ability to work together to quickly protect the victims of unscrupulous executives,” Yang continued.
Ronald Iden, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI in Los Angeles, stated: "We will investigate all credible allegations of corporate fraud and, working with our investigative partners and the U.S. Attorney, bring violators to swift and certain
justice to restore the trust of the American people in the marketplace."
In July 2002, Hughes oversaw the issuance of false and misleading press releases that claimed:
· eConnect had received a $20 million dollar investment in "AA"-rated, asset-backed bonds from another issuer;
· eConnect had begun a stock repurchase program; and
· eConnect had received a purchase order to sell $964,000 worth of its key product, the eCashPad.
In fact, the so-called “AA” bonds were not rated and had little value and there was no stock repurchase program. The press release regarding the nearly $1 million sale of eCashPads was misleading because it caused the public to believe the purchase orders came from a company that had no knowledge of eConnect.
This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which received assistance from the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASD Regulation, Inc.
Release No. 03-112
http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/cac/pr2003/112.html
you'll never get filled at .0001. That's just a number for the MM's the sell to themselves. As soon as a nice big offer at .0001 comes in, the Ask jumps to .0002 to see if you'll chase.
nope..was trying to buy at .0001. I ain't paying .0002 just so some MM's can make 100% on MY money because they keep selling to each other..
crapola. all of it.
JUST MY HONEST OPINION HERE:
TTN isn't going to survive, simply because they can't compete with the likes of Bravo, etc. There are enough SERIOUS producers in Hollywood just waiting and watching and waiting to see how shows like Queer Eye are accepted...AND, more importantly, how ADVERTISERS react. GuaranDamnTee ya, when the big boys start doing 'gay specific' ads to run on those 'types' of shows, more and more of them will appear.
No, I don't think BRAVO will become the 'Gay Channel", but I'd be willing to bet they're going to start hunting very big time for QUALITY shows, and if anyone that's 'freelancing' producing shows for TTN ( and NOT making any money) get's an offer from BRAVO, etc, who do YOU think they're gonna go with????
JUST MY OPINION NOT BASED ON ANYTHING BUT MY OPINION AND NOTHING ELSE
I don't know.
I cancelled my order today. I'll buy somthing else.
breakable. NO FILLS all day.
