Seems like the wrong direction for cancelling 3 billion shares. Tony is a master strategist.
coming right after walmart, publix, and Japan are all fully stocked with Apple Rush juices.
No idea how you decided a merged entity would be worth $0.50/share, but my opinion is there will never be any such merger.
None of the companies mentioned by HDUP have ever run a bona-fide & sustainable business.
There's all just facades tossed up with cheap web pages to create penny-stock hype.
HDUP is an insider enrichment scheme, not pump & dump.
different methods to the same result: insiders get paid, while foolish shareholders & lenders lose their money.
There's nothing "elaborate" about writing a bunch of PRs full of empty promises to lure in dumb money.
LOL, so he bought $800 worth and now he is engaged in an elaborate pump n dump?
Nice DD.
$2m isn't that much, HDUP has already blown many times that amount over the years on other dismal failures.
never going to happen, you got Cashman'd.
Keep holding...When they get re-instated this one can go up very quickly..
It's hard to lower the OS while simultaneously taking subscriptions to issue new shares!
In a year, all the die-hard fans will forget about "lowered OS" just like they forgot about Busch Stadium, Japan distribution, financial audits, uplisting, Walmart, and Publix.
I agree, he also has to lower the OS like promised. If he doesn't it will sink this stock.
About 4 years ago, Tony promised to release weekly videos where he was transparent, "sharing news", etc. That lasted about 3 weeks, before he cancelled it all without explanation.
Since then, now it's just people insisting "email Tony" "call Tony" "go to the private investors meeting with Tony" ... everything is communicated in secret, the opposite of transparency.
It's funny that Tony privately tells people that he wants some special kind of "talk" to "get more investors" but he refuses to stick he head out of his hole and do it himself.
He actually emailed me back and said this kind of talk only keeps us from getting more investors. How about keeping the ones you have by being transparent and creating positive earnings. People have a right to voice their disappointment and its time for some news that is worthy of new investors and rewarding the ones that have stuck around.
It's a no-brainer to buy PrefE shares if you actually trust Tony's promises. There still seems to be plenty of believers.
There's no reason at all to hold common shares at this point unless you're aware that uplisting will never happen.
I don’t know how much he’ll be able to sell.
So theoretically Tony could sell a bunch of Es, uplist temporarily to let his buddies with the Es dilute out for their 10x payday, and then they all deal with possible downlisting later.
Seems like a more devious version of toxic debt.
Looks like the selling point for Es is: "You will 10x your money as soon as APRU uplists"
So common shareholders are not only screwed by Preferred A's virtually unlimited dilution rights, but also screwed 10-to-1 by Preferred E dilution rights.
The only bright spot is that APRU can't produce audited financials, so the chance of uplisting is virtually nil.
What is the selling point of preferred Es?
Regardless, we’ll see how many takers Tony gets with the Preferred E scheme.
No revenue, no assets, and no filings for 2 years.
No, that "HighDrate D9" is vapourware.
Vechery probably laid off all his MAXD promotion staff.
No idea why Vechery thought he could resurrect this shell, particularly with Halpern holding control + limitless paper debt.
Where’s my man J. Galt?
Hope you’re ok..
March 27 was an "investors meeting" and then shortly after that, the stock price drops 50% from .0044 -> 0.0022. Is there a connection...? I wonder what were these investors at the meeting know that the public doesn't know?
Kevin Jones was intimate with Vast Mountain Development at least as late as July 2016, a mere 2 months before this post.
However, it looks like a rare case where Kevin Jones was not ripping someone off.
In July 2016, Owen and Kevin Jones of Cardinal Resources (“Cardinal”) met with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”) to discuss what permits would be required at different areas of the site.
Though Jones believed the sand plant should be exempt from the APP, from July 2016 through at least September 4, 2018, Jones' recommendation was that VMD not begin construction of a gold leaching plant until the APP issue was resolved.

Previously it took Tony 3 quarters to secretly remove the fake revenue from financials. We'll see if that happens in August financials.
Need to revisit when this quarter's fins are issued in August.
eye of the beholder. it's better than before, and worse than a company that's well run.
Glass half full or glass half empty? Which is it?
Another interesting set of financials.
$940k in revenue. Operating loss reduced to $85k. That's spitting distance to actually breaking even.
$400k spent on goodwill.

Which part of the "cup and handle" formation is charting now?
Strange, it's only been 14 months since they promised to complete an audit!
It's almost as if HDUP management is hiding something........
Pink Limited Information on OTC Markets
Bob Corr is such a swell guy!
HDUP has 5-figure "consulting" expenses every year: $27,413 in 2023, $78,015 in 2023 was paid to directors. I assumed it was going primarily to Mark Hutchinson, but you are correct in pointing out that I don't know how that money is divided between the 3 directors.
Whatever Mark Hutchinson is receiving in compensation, the only 'work' he's doing to benefit HDUP is sending private messages to people asking them to "keep the faith." Meanwhile, Every. Single. One. of the money-making schemes previously touted by HDUP went radio-dark over a year ago.... right after the last major promotional pump finished.
Spinola was initially lent $720,000 in 2021. (not $750k). The Arnold & Lynne Kellner debt has been owed (and growing) since Feb 7, 2006. 2006 is nowhere close to "around that time". You may be thinking of the $782,080 loan recorded to CEO Douglas Wilson in 2021.
Spinola being sent $2m is by definition "a benefit". Because it's a private offshore corporation, it's obviously impractical to trace what the owners of that corporation did with the money. The bogus Spinola acquisition was promised to complete in November 2021. Now it is overdue by 2.5 years, and the only "progress" was to ship it more money in 2022. HDUP executives haven't bothered to recognize or account for any interest on the Spinola "loan". That tells me they actually know it's not a bona-fide loan.
Nearly all of this is documented in the annual filings & on the public websites/profiles of the "acquired" companies.
At some point, when all these "Made by Wix" websites haven't updated in enough years, even you will realize the "acquisitions" and "partnerships" were just a facade.
I skimmed through previous financial filings and can't find that Hutch received any CASH, he did receive 5,000,000 shares in lieu of salaries and expenses. And he still owns all but 250k of those shares.
Those 250k shares were transferred to a James Mueller for a value of $250.00. (that info is documented at the bottom of page 5 of the latest filing).
Please show where Hutch received "5-figure consulting fees" for replying to linkedIn messages".
And regarding Spinola, some time ago they showed up as having received a loan from the company of $750k. Around this same time I noticed that Lynne and Arnold Kellner had loaned the company $750k, it was in the filings from that time period. Since then there have been apparently additional loans to Spinola, but they were never shown as "gifts" so Spinola still owes that.
You have any proof that they someone benefitted by $2mil from the company?
When you make allegations it would be nice if you'd back it up with facts. Thanks.
I have complete faith in my conclusions.
Happy to be proven wrong, that would be exciting.
Not as much faith as you appear to have, it seems
Kellner got $500k, whomever is behind Spinola got $2m, Hutch got 5-figure "consulting fees" for replying to LinkedIn messages, and everyone else gets an empty bag.
had?
Me too… it’s a shame it turned out to be this way.. i really had faith in this stock.
A quiet 3 months, and still no "something big"
Ready to admit you made this all up?
The fact is something big is coming, but you have to wait and wait quietly
"Obviously couldn't provide specifics" because HDUP is a defunct scam ticker that's not conducting any bona fide business.
'things' for HDUP are perpetually 'unfolding' to a conclusion that will never appear, like a fractal image. There's always another development just about to be revealed....
Begging for faith is pretty much the end of a line for scammy OTC execs who have even stopped publishing bogus press releases.
I connected with/reached out to Mark Hutchinson on my LinkedIn App. He obviously couldn’t provide specifics, but he did say verbatim : “Things are finally unfolding! Thank you and keep the faith! Hutch”
You can look in the mirror when asking that question. Let us know when you have an answer.
Why are you here if you don’t like the stock?
What is there to regret?
The stock is cheaper today than when you sold.
If you want APRU shares, you can buy them for less than what you got from selling them.
No I messed up because as soon as I read that Tony might’ve not been truthful about Lena, I sold out. I regret it too
Do you think the fins look good?
Oh awesome. I know Tony has been grinding so the fins should look good.
That was fast.
I sold out of APRU
No idea about stock price, like every money-losing penny stock it moves on hype & sentiment.
However, It looks like this recent spate of borrowing may put a timer on things, perhaps in 1.5 - 2 years the business operations will either succeed or get shut down.
Where do you see the stock price headed
Last Q APRU net-borrowed about $2.4m, and sold $0.9m of stock, so $3.3m of cash showed up in its bank accounts.
APRU spent $1.4m on equipment + $0.1m on goodwill (???). APRU also lost $0.6m cash while operating the business. So $2.1m total went out the door last year.
That leaves $1.2m in the bank account, which is much less than the $4.1m in liabilities ($3.3m in debt + $0.8m in deferred salaries)
That's all assuming these books are accurate, which IMO is far from guaranteed. Tony has made million-dollar "mistakes" on his financial reports recently.
$ million in cash last financials going back a while
COGS rose from 37% -> 78%. There's definitely an operations problem when your sales increase 4x and yet your margin is reduced by over 2/3rds. Economy of scale is supposed to RAISE margins.
The fins - Net loss is bad (obviously), but the jump in sales will probably catch up in the next quarter or so. This will really turn heads when that happens.
You doubt St. Tony's tweets?? Blasphemer!
Tony cannot ever prove he owns Lena because he NEVER will own Lena.
So what exactly is your take?
Would it be:
+ Tony is telling people that APRU has put a bunch of money 'In Escrow' for the purpose of purchasing Lena bevage.
+ The owners of Lena beverage are denying that they have any intention or plans to sell it to APRU
+ The owners of Lena beverage have not actually received any amount of $ from APRU?
Money wasn’t discussed, but today someone made….
it known how Tony apparently spun it when they asked him about the email response I got.
It looks like Tony was able to CONvince someone that if money was put in escrow, then that means they closed on Lena, even if the authorities weren’t notified as REQUIRED.
The authority reached out to Lena, because if they aren’t notified about ownership changes licenses are at risk. I’m sure Ross was pissed about getting the call. That’s his livelihood.
Tony really has some in a trance. He obviously LIED, but like the abused wife with 3 kids and no job, he’s the only sense of security they have.
Generally I agree, but it's also possible he simply gained "Tony" as a colloquial in childhood while being obligated to use the name on his ID for business documents.
Smh. People that use multiple names are never a good sign
Did this person from Lena confirm whether APRU had given Lena $$? Did they explain the purpose of this money?
Funny that when they reached out to Lena, they said they weren't selling to APRU.
