I wouldn't count on any news of any substance for awhile...something that hasn't really been discussed here is the "Poison Pill" strategy. Could it be that the company leadership saw Google as a possible takeover threat to acquire their SEO/SEM program (SPYDER?) which could have thrown a wrench in their long term plans and that's what prompted the Chapter 11? Just one of many possible theories. If you recall there was strong evidence back in early 2012 of a possible merger/buyout...then suddenly Chapter 11. If I recall employees with Atrinsic were communicating regularly with employees from Kenshoo...specifically David Rifkin and Aaron Baker, both who "left" Atrinsic to go to Digital Net Agency (Private Company) which emerged from the ashes of Atrinsic around the same time Atrinsic filed for Chapter 11...and now David Rifkin works for Kenshoo and Aaron Baker is CEO of Digital Net Agency. Tons of worm holes and connections to follow.

"Use of Poison Pill Provisions in Chapter 11 Plans
When, in the course of a bankruptcy, a debtor places its ownership interests up for auction, current owners and managers of the debtor have similar incentives to deter other potential bidders, especially adverse creditors, from purchasing that ownership and firing current management. To accomplish
this, debtors in Chapter 11 have begun proposing plans with poison pill-like provisions, plans that attempt to economically penalize a potential winning bidder, or plans that attempt to block that winning bidder from exercising control over the debtor post-reorganization. Rather than embed these restrictions
in the debtor’s bylaws, a debtor may codify these provisions in its plan and proposed confirmation order. These provisions take various forms. Some plans require that the winning bidder operate the company as a going concern for some period after confirmation. Some plans require that the winning bidder retain current management unless and until certain conditions occur. Some plans require the winning bidder to pay a large break-up fee to current ownership should current ownership lose at the auction. Other plans require the winning bidder to provide a large deposit to debtor’s counsel on very short notice. Some
plans limit who may qualify as a bidder. The list of potential poison pills is limited only by the creativity of debtors’
lawyers. The effects of these provisions, however, are obvious. They distort the market for the ownership of the debtor and thereby prevent active bidding, favor insider bids, and therefore reduce the amount eventually brought into the estate for distribution."
Google wouldn't be in this at 25% of ATRN share structure if there wasn't huge potential to monetize whatever ATRN has cooking. Do some research on everything Google has had their hand in over the past ten years

Unless you are a day trader making a few bucks here and there, this is a long hold investment.
LOL...Well, I'm holding a $5000 bag worth $40 right now so unless I find myself in a situation where I absolutely need the tax write off, I'm willing to stick around and risk the remaining $40 value of my investment to see if the Spyder will finally let me out of his web.
For the doubters who didn't believe that Google owns 25% of this company...Page 41, Item 12. Although the 10-K looks horrible, one has to ask why Google would retain 25% of this company and why former creditors would accept stock in this company as payment for debt owed...What do they know that we don't? The Spyder is still weaving its web perhaps?

Hey bro...just like old times. Looks like we may have a reunion of the 2012 run crew. LOL
Sorry to hear about your wife. I'm losing my job in a month due to government budget cuts, but I can't complain after hearing how your year has gone.
Hey bro...I'm still here waiting too. I got greedy and ended up holding the bag 2 years ago. I've averaged down since then and just waiting to see what happens. Unfortunately my broker doesn't allow trades currently with ATRN so I can't average down further...I have nothing to lose (that hasn't already been lost) by staying here as a thorn in the side of whomever is playing this game of cat and mouse. They aren't getting my shares for nothing.
Seeing you back here and the continuation of the DD we did back then gives me a little hope that this ship isn't sunk yet...it just got hit by a rogue wave and may be righting itself.
You sold at .30 and yet you still troll this message board? Hmmmm Sounds like someone needs to get a life.
I'll settle for a run to .16
Grasping at straws now are we? LOL Since when did having your photo taken at a 5 star hotel charity event and posted on Facebook become incriminating? Not to mention the fact that the All American Pet brand name is plastered all over that place for everyone to see! Most likely AAPT was a sponsor of this charity event. Looks like a great marketing opportunity to me! Helping kids by supporting the UNESCO fundraiser and tell everyone about your product all in one location...by the way, those people look like some big spenders so isn't that really who we want AAPT to market to? People that have money burning holes in their pocket and who probably have fluffy pets that they want to give the best treats to? Rather than making an assumption based on ONE photo, why not watch this video and pay attention in the background to who's name is plastered all over the walls in this lavish hotel! Looks MORE like evidence that AAPT is going WORLDWIDE to me!!!
I sold two Regular Nutrabars yesterday in the Paragould, AR Walmart. I've been looking for them every time I visit and finally, they were on the shelf! I was shopping and picking up treats for my dog and saw them...I picked mine up and started walking down the aisle and noticed a lady shopping for treats so I asked her if she had tried the Nutrabars. She grabbed two of them to try for her dogs! My dog loved it!!!

I personally do not subscribe to jjves.com so could you please provide another source or link to your proclamation that there is an SEC investigation underway!!! Thanks so much!
Yes, just read it and all it entails is they retained an attorney to vouch that the Annual Financial statement is accurate and that the company is in compliance with Rule 144 (c)(2) of the Securites Act with regard to delivering "adequate public information".
Thanks! I've noticed everytime you make a prediction, this stock goes up!!! Keep it up!!!!! Time for this to bounce!!!
I believe this is it...not sure. Exhibit A. Uploaded by Old Hillbilly on Scribd

Exactly! And, just in case this piece of information hasn't been mentioned yet...the address of the AAPT distribution center in Shawnee, KS actually comes up as Olson Manufacturing and Distribution...I called them yesterday and talked to Jason in Shipping and asked if I could speak to an AAPT rep...he said they were in the same building but not part of their company. But he did confirm that the building is split and AAPT is indeed an actual business operation in the same facility. I asked him if he had noticed any unusual increase in trucks moving in and out of the AAPT loading dock and he said he really didn't know because he doesn't go to that side of the building. Either way, I feel better about knowing that both addresses on the shipping label are legit!
Anyone still playing AAPT...I am restricted to one post and I've already posted once today. I have information to share with the board over there if anyone is interested in sharing for me.
I did a google search for the address listed on the boxes alegedly being shipped from AAPT...8310 Hedge Lane Terrace, Shawnee, KS. The address comes up "Olson Manufacturing and Distribution". I contacted their shipping Dept (spoke to Jason)and asked to speak to a rep from AAPT. He said he didn't have their number but he did confirm that they are in the same facility (The building is split)...so they do have a legitimate distribution center operating at that address that is on the packaging alegedly headed to Walmart distro centers.
I did ask him if he noticed any unusual increase in trucks at the AAPT part of the building and he told me he hadn't really paid attention and never goes to that side of the building.
Nope...you're wrong. If you look at Google Maps and viewed satellite image with NW 115 Ave, Alachua, FL you'll see that 15th Ave only has three facilities...one is a small apparel distributer, the other is a small unnamed facility directly across the Ave from the Walmart Distribution Center
http://maps.google.com/
BTW, just called Olson Manufacturing...the address that is listed on the pkg is attributed to them on google...the guy (Jason in shipping) that I talked to said the building is split in half and the other half indee belongs to AAPT
now .015!!
I noticed that...from .01 to .013 now. Patience! Might work out for all of us who have been patient.
Anyone know of any other major retailer in the U.S. with "42" distribution centers besides this one? LOL
"Our General Merchandise network consists of 42 Regional Distribution Centers throughout the U.S."

How high will AAPT stock run in 2013?
How many short positions will lose their house this year?
How many more questions do we have to endure before we see profits from our investment?
Anyone?
Crickets...
Hello?
I'm good man...just been busy with work and other hobbies/business ventures. Not much to do here other than wait. How you been?
Yeah, maybe I'm being a little modest. But it hurts my brain to read that stuff...that's why I stopped. It was consuming all my free time trying to digest it all. Plus, I felt like I was chasing my tail. LOL
I think he means he's not good with reading court paper documents. Same here...too much hereforetos and hereafters and other legal jargon for my redneck brain.
Who's the big spender that just bought $2.00 worth of shares to start off the morning?
I'm sure this video has been posted before...but I think some folks need a reminder. A network daytime show (Hallmark's Home and Family) doesn't bring scam artists onto their show to peddle their "snake oil"!!! The Nutrabars are real and some people seem to have difficulty waiting on progress...As far as I know, the SEC has no regulations that make missing a "promised" production deadline a crime or violation.
It's Vegas to me...not pissed off at all. Just refuse to sell at a loss so I'll let it ride and if I lose, I'll chalk it up as a lesson learned. Sorry for the wild goose chase!
Nope, nothing from me! I'm done with research...treating stocks like Vegas now.
I never left...just stopped posting. I've checked in here from time to time. Good to see some of the true longs still here. Hopefully it pays off!
LOL...Hey man. You changed your name! I have no clue. My only guess would be speculation about a possible settlement amount? My broker said I couldn't even buy anymore and I had to call just to set a sell order. I'm hoping it hits me but I'm certainly not giving my shares away.
I didn't invest anything that I wasn't willing and could afford to lose...after I realized that I stopped stressing about it so much and stopped reading the board every minute of everyday with all the ups and downs...too much drama
Haha...I've learned how recently!
LOL...thanks man. Just been trying to stay busy and stop obsessing over stocks so much. Been letting it ride...hope it pays off. I'm not one to give in for a loss unless it's forced upon me.
I'm still here too...just observing...haven't posted in forever! Still have all my original shares plus I averaged down some a few months back. Glad to see this moving again. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years!
I'm still here...been here since February. Holding my shares and waiting. Too many drama queens, fair weather "investors" and vultures on here to waste my time making comments...But I'm not selling my shares until the time is right.
LOL...That was awesome!!! Someone is very talented. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!
Yep, still here...Been here since early February!
Wanted to stick my head in and let all my old friends know I'm still holding all my shares and I'm seeing this through to the end. Actually picked up a few more at .0085 the other day after I read about the SEC involvement. I've just been quiet for the past two months...But I'm still here!!! It's nice to see the SEC doing their job and protecting investor interests.
Yeah, he had 23 million shares of ATRN about like he has 15 million shares of AAPT. He's full of shit...so full that now he's spewing it on all the boards he's on. If there is an award for the biggest IHUB turd, I vote for him.
