I took some advice from Bell more than once....he knows his stuff.
When you live in the very area where this scam originated...you hear things...and they tend to have some truth to them...it is a small community, and ski areas are notorious for being meccas for coke....
February was quite awhile ago....
Rumor is he used to be a coke dealer....
Nope...it's nonsense when the writing has been on the wall for so long, and heads continue to be buried in the sand...Bell was kind enough to throw a bone a while ago...thanks to him !!!!
How you likin' the bottom now ?
NONSENSE !!
Ha !! nonsense I say...lol is outta date mister (Google it)....and it's fun watching this drama queen of an "investment"...I'm sure Ron and Greg are just shaking their heads going "it was just too easy !!!... ...I'll stay around as long as there is entertainment value.... but I do remember the triple zero days...at least flippers could make a little change then...it's nonsense to go down with a sinking ship when there are so many lifeboats !!!! Haha...
Ha...nonsense again...what is nonsensical is an unwillingness to admit that you may have been duped...this must be your "Custer's Last Stand...
Haha..!!! Nonsense...I stay around because it is quite amusing to read this very public board...it's pure nonsense to be o.k. with losing everything on a losing gamble...remember...the odds are always with the house....
Maybe you should take your own advice....by the time, if ever this makes some real coin...it may be too late...Don't want to see you in the ICU like this "stock" is....a lottery ticket has better odds of winning....there are better things out there...that actually have a ROI.
nonsense
Thanks for that...so far so good...
Awww c'mon now rope...you've got Google remember ? I guess riding with, involving my kids in 4H, mending fences, and haying along side some of them ranchers don't count for much...right ? You could just drive up Highway 9 towards Steamboat....maybe Grady, Bruce, or Tim will be out in the fields...they may look atcha kinda funny...but they are good folks. You could also flag down one of them cowboy trucking convoys heading south in the fall or early winter to the feedlot off of I-76 east of Denver....to be real...the only heifers, (females who have not born a calf) kept in the herd are those few that will be used as replacement breeders for cows who are at the end of production, or specific heifers who have bloodlines from a prize bull...the cost to carry over every years calves is prohibitive. Of course newbies who are starting up a herd would be the exception....When I'm in Montrose next week, I'll have somebody hit you up...K ??

Thanks for the info Ron.
They are being charged with RICO, Item 1 in the lawsuit.
If I, or any of my associates, or my company were charged with a crime, or a civil suit that may, or may not cause a negative impression of myself, associates, or company....and I/we believe we are innocent,....there would be a public statement to dispute such action.....
This is from the lawsuit.
a RICO-related charge is considered easy to prove in court, as it focuses on patterns of behavior as opposed to criminal acts.[2]
Under RICO, a person who has committed "at least two acts of racketeering activity" drawn from a list of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes—within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering if such acts are related in one of four specified ways to an "enterprise". Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity."
When the U.S. Attorney decides to indict someone under RICO, he or she has the option of seeking a pre-trial restraining order or injunction to temporarily seize a defendant's assets and prevent the transfer of potentially forfeitable property, as well as require the defendant to put up a performance bond. This provision was placed in the law because the owners of Mafia-related shell corporations often absconded with the assets. An injunction and/or performance bond ensures that there is something to seize in the event of a guilty verdict.
In many cases, the threat of a RICO indictment can force defendants to plead guilty to lesser charges, in part because the seizure of assets would make it difficult to pay a defense attorney. Despite its harsh provisions, a RICO-related charge is considered easy to prove in court, as it focuses on patterns of behavior as opposed to criminal acts.[2]
RICO also permits a private individual "damaged in his business or property" by a "racketeer" to file a civil suit. The plaintiff must prove the existence of an "enterprise". The defendant(s) are not the enterprise; in other words, the defendant(s) and the enterprise are not one and the same.[3] There must be one of four specified relationships between the defendant(s) and the enterprise: either the defendant(s) invested the proceeds of the pattern of racketeering activity into the enterprise (18 U.S.C. § 1962(a)); or the defendant(s) acquired or maintained an interest in, or control of, the enterprise through the pattern of racketeering activity (subsection (b)); or the defendant(s) conducted or participated in the affairs of the enterprise "through" the pattern of racketeering activity (subsection (c)); or the defendant(s) conspired to do one of the above (subsection (d)).[4] In essence, the enterprise is either the 'prize,' 'instrument,' 'victim,' or 'perpetrator' of the racketeers.[5] A civil RICO action can be filed in state or federal court.[6]
Both the criminal and civil components allow the recovery of treble damages (damages in triple the amount of actual/compensatory damages).
Although its primary intent was to deal with organized crime, Blakey said that Congress never intended it to merely apply to the Mob. He once told Time, "We don't want one set of rules for people whose collars are blue or whose names end in vowels, and another set for those whose collars are white and have Ivy League diplomas."[2]
Initially, prosecutors were skeptical of using RICO, mainly because it was unproven. However, during the 1980s and 1990s, federal prosecutors utilized the law to bring charges against several Mafia figures. The first major success was the Mafia Commission Trial, which resulted in several top leaders of New York City's Five Families getting what amounted to life sentences. By the turn of the century, RICO cases resulted in virtually all of the top leaders of the New York Mafia being sent to prison.

When you come to Colorado...talk to him yourself.
There is nothing disrespectful to you at all...I have spoken to individuals involved...you could as well, but you are too busy with other things...like Googling...whatever...there are more jurisdictions involved. You have made this personal...and disrespectful, not I.
That's pretty funny....it's ok that you think the lawsuit is a joke, it's ok that you think GPSI is/was a good, solid investment...time will tell...we are all entitled to our own opinion...If you were involved in an ongoing lawsuit such as this, your attorney would probably council you to keep quiet as well....I mean...you answered your own question....ohhhh, my bad...it was rhetorical right ? There is more to this "nonsense" lawsuit than has been made public, and it doesn't matter if you agree or not...but the disrespect you show for those who do not share you opinion is in bad taste.
More than likely he is remaining quiet because he is a party to the lawsuit.
They did not leave...they were let go.
The actual installer in Breckenridge Colorado has been let go months ago...he is back to being a plumber.
Now why would I do that...you and another posted two Fridays ago that it was signed sealed and delivered...what was delivered..????..but no facts to back your claim...now Lawdog posts that he spoke to Securus about GTL...and nothing is finalized....if I found the info you desire...so can you.
You press me for info, but why do you not do the same to others who post innuendo as fact with no substantiation...??? Call them out as well...EVERYTHING that I have posted is out there....it is public....not some insider tactic that may or may not be the motive of others....do you honestly think that I want my investment to go down in value ???? BUT.....I do want the company I have bought stock in to be forthright...which they have NEVER been....like I said....I know personally, one of those named as a Defendant in this suit....and I will leave it at that.....
