I see No problem with selling shares.
My thoughts are a little different as to “why” and the timing.
simple, positioning herself, to be able to purchase more than 1 billion shares of warrants. Then taking those billion shares and making some money. If she is making money, we’re all making money.
this is all getting really good, I love where we’re at or in the best position ever
same deal for the CFO who just sold shares. Needs to position himself to be able to purchase more at a lower price and walk away set for life for himself his family and all his contributed efforts to making the VPLM a success..
That is some pretty heavy volume, At this point in the process we should be going to the moon. Is someone selling their shares hoping to buy back in??
That would not be very good timing??
Just my thoughts
Kauai Girl,
We Postive NRG and Myself have been here a very long time, I just chose to read and through in some cheerleading once in a while. One of the things I have continued to convey is the quality of the Patents. The litigators that wrote and prosecuted them into reality. The Team at Knobbe Martin are the best in the World. There is know doubt they have VPLM patents buttoned up to take on the Big Boys with infringement.
That is the one of the main reasons I invested in this company 8 years ago. It has been a ride. I have seen my account at numbers I could purchase another home in The OC of California. Then I have seen it to where my thoughts are; Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve sold……
At this point, I am in to the end of this ride.
I love all the guesses of where this will end up, but my Lucky Number is 17, so I am sticking with it at $17 per share.
Leaving Venice right now, I am praying that our life changing event will provide my family the ability to journey the entire world to see how VPLM pioneered the industry.
Now it is time to make the impact on people lives that you never met and to give freely of your time to support your charitable concerns.
Very interesting to see how some of the people operate in this arena.
Thank you for exposing this.
How did you type that up so fast???
Great info, I prefer to let one of the “Seasoned Longs” respond to your post.
Many of these things happen for moneys needed to continue the fight in court.
I am sure there are other lawyers involved that are not going to do work on contingency or Pro Bono.
It is a money pit that needs to be fed to build it up into a Winner.
Did anyone do the math on this sale?
My basic math shows that the sale happened for about .025 cent each.
Which means these shares were sold prior to the run up. Reported on Feb 27, 2023.
just reading between the lines.
That makes for a very healthy value of the Company. Praying to see that happen…
Although is dampens my plans to get to 2mm shares
I will be buying more
trying to hit the 2mm mark
Would you be buying or selling?
Still staying LONG
That’s a great riddle DB. Coke versus Pepsi. I still prefer RC Cola nice on ice.

100% I understand we have a new attorney that is pushing for a Voip Pal victory.
My comments only refer to we use the best in the industry to prosecute these patents and have them come to life. I would not be surprised if someone from the Knobbe Martin team comes in and testify on the importance of how these patents were created.
I live in Irvine, so I see the building every day when I drive down the 405 freeway. Just remind me of how good we have it.

In Memoriam: Louis Knobbe
Louis Knobbe
Today, the Knobbe Martens family comes together to mourn the passing of our founding partner, Louis Knobbe. Throughout his life, Louis touched the lives of countless individuals and left an indelible impact on the Orange County community and the intellectual property field.
After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from Iowa State University in 1953, Louis went on to work as an engineer at Bell Telephone Laboratories, General Electric and North American Aviation. After earning his law degree from Loyola University in Los Angeles in 1959, Louis worked in a patent law position at Beckman Instruments.
In 1962, Louis co-founded the firm that would become Knobbe Martens. This decision to take the bold step of founding an intellectual property law firm in Orange County would have a profound impact on generations of Knobbe Martens attorneys, scientists and staff who benefitted from his sage advice, thoughtful mentorship and visionary leadership.
Throughout his career, Louis was a zealous and passionate advocate for his clients, his colleagues and peers, and for the Orange County community he called home. A firm believer in the promise and future of Orange County, Louis served on the boards and in leadership roles of countless business, civic and philanthropic organizations across the county. Louis’s enthusiasm for his work, efforts to build a strong and unique firm culture, and love for and commitment to Orange County were all crucial in providing the solid foundation for Knobbe Martens to grow into the firm it is today.
The entire Knobbe Martens community extends our deepest condolences to Louis’s family. And while we mourn the passing of our founder, mentor and friend, we celebrate his life and the tremendous contributions he made to our firm and our community.
Great to see you were finally hitting and getting paid it again. I am committed and holding on to the end. Good to see everyone is back on board
We can all hope for the Deuce. But if we really get one of the Companies to buy these patents to protect their shareholders from a larger judgement. We should be looking like Royalty.
I truely believe it, and the person who introduced me to VPLM years ago is still buying shares.
He will be happy with $0.50.
What will make you happy?
Hope your doing well and ready for this journey to take off.
What would you say is a comfortable amount of share’s to own aid VPLM at this time, to have a good pay out and live comfortably for a few years?
I live in So Cal The OC
I’m looking forward to that day
I am still here waiting for the oppertunity to dig in and be apart of something big or just watch it fizzle.
Just like the fireworks we all watched last week. Very exciting, then they just fizzle away..
GLTA
Orca,
is this happening, are you really buying in for 10,000,000 shares?
I agree this is a great plot for a Ocean's Movie.
Danny Ocean and Emil have planned this out for the biggest payoff ever.
It was years in the making and every Tech Giant and Phone Service Provider thought they were to BIG to be taken down by the little guy.
GO VPLM!!!
http://www.pewinternet.org/fact-sheet/mobile/
This old technology, 95% of all adult Americans now own a cell phone or Smart phone.
I believe VPLM patents fall under both catagories (CELL & SMART PHONES) that are being utilized by the Bigs in question.
VPLM is only trying to lease what is their technology to them so they can successfully run their organizations with no interference.
This technology is not so old that it is useless. It is still the core of how everything works in the mobile phone market. DD will tell you that.
Do you have any proof that "no companies" are using this outdated patents. I believe that VPLM is trying to prove that many Companies are currently using or have used this outdated technology.
When I see volume of 2million shares plus I get excited that something big is about to happen.
Time will tell.
Go VPLM
I am sure someone will post a better sample of the filing.
I have to go to work.
GO VPLM

communicate directly with external networks, such as iPhone® devices that can communicate
over cellular networks.
Walt Disney's original E.P.C.O.T film (1966) HD FULL VERSION
Here some ideas and technology that are 50 years old and the whole world I’d still trying to duplicate.
To dream and put something in writing takes a few days.
To make is a reality through process, codes, government and finance is another story.
https://m.yoututqbe.com/watch?v=sLCHg9mUBag
VPLM is no Walt and his team. But look at all the copy cats that follow these blueprints.
Emil followed some blue prints and was the leader in his field.
We will all benefit from his efforts
This is my analogy of how this is playing out for the simple investor.
The seed was planted years ago by DIGI/ VPLM by filing for the patents. Having the strongest patents, prosecuted by the best law (Knobbe Martin) firm in the industry.
Digi/VPLM has let the big boys do all the mining of the customers with their patents. Yes, those Companies were warned by VPLM that they may be using their technology and should consider licensing the their patents.
VPLM was told to pound sand, go back and tell the Sheriff if they think that someone stole from them. That is when VPLM file legal actions against the rouge miners.
These companies have been rewarded greatly for their work in the industry as seen by their value and performance over the years.
Now it is time for the Mining Companies to pay for the (Patents) picks & shovels they used to get the gold.
Yes, whom ever writes the screen play for this will make a fortune too. The script can be so compelling
I just saw something new on my land line caller ID.
Instead of reading out a number ie: 656-555-1212.
The caller ID simply read out “VOIP CALLER”
Funny thing. We have AT&T as our provider.
So this voip stuff is very really.
DB,
It is some simple math to understand were the boards stands on the stock price.
Example:
