Bob Zumbrunnen & Matt Brown
Posted by: DrTichener



Demise of another South Florida Stock Fraud Empire

Jail may await a pair of convicted-felon Message Board Owners Bob Zumbrunnen of Cleveland MO, and his associate Matt Brown of Tallahassee, Florida have struck a reef with a bulletin-board issue.

Sources close confirm that the pair attempted a two pronged stock scam that is resulting in criminal complaints against the pair.Operating under the aegis of "InvestorsHub & Silicone Investor," a corporation registered in Florida, Zumbrunnen and Brown reportedly obtained about 20-million shares of S-8 stock from the prior management team of as part of a reverse merger . Six days later, the pair then allegedly tried to palm off a bogus opinion letter from a Colorado based lawyer lifting restrictions to another 20-million shares of stock.The company alerted its transfer agent of the scam-in-progress, and managed to block the transfer according to a source close to the event.

The particular problem with the business arrangement of Zumbrunnen and Brown is that they are both convicted felons currently under supervision by state and federal authorities. Each has a provision in their probation terms strictly prohibiting association with other criminals. Violation of those provisions subjects the pair to immediate arrest and imprisonment, according to the Department of Law Enforcement source.Zumbrunnen is presently serving a 14-month probation for drug possession. Brown is only about one year into a 7-year period of federal supervised release for a related Pump & Dump Scheme.

According to records at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Brown, 37, was released from federal prison on July 8, 2002. He is currently being supervised by the federal probation office in. Zumbrunnen served no jail time following his two-count County felony drug convictions last February. Brown reportedly served 40-months in federal custody before being released to the Tallahassee area.

"Neither Zumbrunnen nor Brown responded to requests for interviews. Law enforcement sources say that state and federal action against the pair could occur as early as next Monday for possible parole or probation violations.

Empire Film Group Dives Into $10 Million Comedy, Soakers, From Legendary Filmmaker Bob Clark
10:43a ET May 21, 2009 (GlobeNewswire)
Empire Film Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EFGU) (http://www.empirefilmgroup.com) will be heading to Hawaii this fall to produce Soakers, a major theatrical comedy from a screenplay by the late Bob Clark (A Christmas Story, Porkys). The film is budgeted at $10 million and will benefit from State of Hawaii production incentives and in-house post-production savings from Empire. Discussions are underway with several top comic stars, reports Empire, and a commercial box-office cast is expected.
"This is by far the largest film production budget yet for Empire," said Dean Hamilton-Bornstein, Chairman and CEO. "Bob's screenplay has broad audience appeal and the potential for significant box office success, so we didn't want to compromise on either the visual effects or the casting. We think the final results will more than merit this investment."
Empire will oversee both the production of the film as well as its worldwide distribution. A summer 2010 theatrical release is planned for the U.S. marketplace.
"We now have our first tent-pole title," said Eric Parkinson, CEO of Distribution for Empire. "Our strategic plan is to have one major title for theatrical release each calendar quarter, supported by eight to ten mid-level theatrical titles. Having Soakers on our schedule for next summer, supplemented by the significant new acquisitions made at the Cannes Film Festival, will position Empire for rapid growth."
Screenwriter and Director Bob Clark is perhaps best known for his perennial holiday favorite, A Christmas Story, which has become a seasonal mainstay for television broadcasters and video retailers worldwide. Clark also wrote and directed many other family-appeal films, including Baby Geniuses and Rhinestone. He had worked with Empire in an advisory capacity on the film Blonde and Blonder before a tragic automobile accident in April 2007 that resulted in his death, as well as the death of his 22-year-old son, Ariel.
Empire describes Soakers as a mainstream family comedy, combining elements of Spy Kids and Jimmy Neutron.
Script Synopsis:
Kevin and Kylie are twins who, after the death of their father, are forced to uproot their Chicago home and move with their mother to the island of Hawaii. There, the three of them stay with grandpa Digger, a military vet who is a bit past his prime and still treats the world as a military operation.
At their new school, the kids face adjustment issues: trying to fall in with the right crowd, dealing with bullies, and getting on the good side of their teachers. But Kevin and Kylie soon become aware that their Pine Hills school might not be so normal.
One night after a particularly harsh detention, the twins plot to toilet paper their principal's house. Before they are able to complete the operation, they witness the disturbing transformation of their school principal, Mr. Vexzler, into an oozing green alien. They soon find themselves thrust into a complicated web of deceit where school teachers and policemen are not who they seem. It is revealed that an Alien General, in disguise as their teacher, Proctor, has been sent from the planet Wynaar with a mandate to annihilate the human race and re-inhabit the earth as Wynnar 231-B, Operation-Earth-Be-Gone.
The kids are desperate as they find it impossible to convince the adults, including their mother Helen, of their story. But when they confide in Digger's geeky friend Buster about the existence of aliens in Pine Hills, he reveals his secret lab in the back of Soylent Green Arcade. He explains that he has been tracking the existence of aliens around the USA for many years, and that what they saw has confirmed his greatest fear. They immediately begin to plot a counter attack against the invading aliens.
Using Buster's high-tech geek laboratory, the kids, Digger, and Buster collaborate with Skate and the Eeks, an elite group of part-badasses, part geeks, who are not afraid to get their hands dirty. Together, the Supreme Organization of Alien Kicking Extreme Rockin Squad (S.O.A.K.E.R.S) attempt to formulate a counter-attack to the aliens' world domination plot. Their first confrontation with the alien invaders occurs at Cosmic Kid Toy Planet, where the aliens have begun to build their army of helpless adult minions controlled by hypno-optic alien powers. The kids, however, are not affected by this hypno-optic power, and are able to confront the aliens.
When they witness the spontaneous combustion of an alien after Spas (an Eek) sneezes on him, the kids realize that the only way to annihilate the aliens is by spraying them with their snot. They regroup at Buster's secret geek laboratory to manufacture gallons of their ooey-gooey green ammo. The aliens are defeated when attacked by the army of kids armed with snot-filled Uber-aqua-soakers. Proctor evaporates and is returned to his ship, retreating back to planet Wynnar forever, or until the sequel.
All returns to normal in Hawaii, and we conclude with the kids at a soaker party as they are contacted by CIA Agent Mills for assistance with the Loch Ness monster in Scotland. The S.O.A.K.E.R.S. pump their Uber-aqua soakers and take the assignment.
Empire already owns or controls a library of more than 170 titles for the U.S. market, over half of which are currently in release. Upcoming theatrical releases for Empire include the award-winning family drama, War Eagle, and the epic CGI animated adventure, Thru The Moebius Strip. Top selling current DVD titles for Empire include Hounddog, starring Dakota Fanning, Come Away Home, starring Lea Thompson, Grand Champion, starring Bruce Willis and Emma Roberts, and Teen Yoga, starring Miss Teen USA (2005), Allie LaForce. In addition to the company's theatrical and video market releasing activities, Empire also operates Hannover House, a successful and well-established book publishing label, founded in 1993.

I say let all of the bid whackers out. They'll chase this thing on the way back up IMO

who knows...idiots. -e-

EFGU>>> looking for some serious movement today

I think today is the day.

Been hearing the same about EFGU...big push coming tomorrow...

EFGU>>> $.14 x $.15 weak hands out...time to roll

EFGU>>> $.135 x $.14 looking for reversal today

EFGU>>> whackers are finished...time to buy

EFGU>>> $.14 looks like bottom...should bounce from here

impatient traders whacking today because we didn't go straight up from yesterday...buying high and selling low is not the way to make money...

Let the panic subside and we shoot back up to break $.16 IMO

EFGU>>> today's the last day to buy at these levels IMO...going higher

EFGU>>> last lil shake before $.16 break IMO

EFGU>>> looking like we're gonna break .16's today

EFGU>>> looking ready to pop here...only one MM left at $.16

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $150K+ moved into this stock today...think it's unlikely that we break to the downside tomorrow.

I imagine they will be saving the best titles for press release last. Any thoughts? Could be worth holding here a few weeks

Do you snub your nose at yesterday's news? Read in between the lines. It's all here my friend. For those who lack imagination, let me break down yesterday's PR the way I see it:

Empire Film Group Reports On Initial Acquisition Success From Cannes Film Festival
6:00a ET May 18, 2009 (GlobeNewswire)
Empire Film Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EFGU) (http://www.empirefilmgroup.com) has moved into documentation and closing on sixteen high-profile titles on offer at the Cannes Film Festival and Marche du Film. The current acquisition list includes seven titles for theatrical release in the U.S. market, and nine titles for direct-to-DVD and Blu-Ray release. All of the Cannes acquisition titles will also be licensed for release by Empire into the television markets and the growing video-on-demand platforms.

EFGU is acquiring 16 additional titles. "High profile" titles to make matters even better. These "high profile" titles will be released in movie theaters, produced on DVD/Blu-Ray, and released on TV/ON DEMAND. This means ticket sales. This means DVD/Blu Ray Sales. This means TV/ON DEMAND sales. Sales = PROFITs. PROFITS = Shareholder value.

"The response to Empire Films has been very strong here at the market among producers, and our ability to quickly reach acceptable licensing terms has been very encouraging," said Eric Parkinson, CEO of Distribution for Empire and head of the Cannes acquisitions team. "The production quality and commercial caliber of the films that we are moving ahead with is outstanding and bodes very well for the company's growing release slate."

Parkinson is alluding to the fact that they were able to pick up some very strong titles at Cannes. Strong titles = Strong Sales

In respect of the stature of the films being licensed to Empire, the company plans to release individual press announcements on a title-by-title basis, beginning Thursday, May 21st.

Again, read in between the lines. They were able to pick up some very strong titles at Cannes... Strong titles = Strong Sales

"This has been a valuable film market for Empire Film Group," said Dean Hamilton-Bornstein. "We have made a visibly strong presence and moved aggressively to acquire many of the higher echelon films that were on offer for the U.S. market. These new titles, along with our existing product slate for 2009 and 2010, will provide a solid foundation for Empire to reach its corporate sales and profitability goals."

He's reiterating what I've already stated. Strong Titles = Strong Sales = Strong Profits

Empire's theatrical release activities are being handled by industry veteran David Magedman, whose prior senior executive posts at Artisan Entertainment and Warner Independent Pictures resulted in hits including "The Blair Witch Project" and "March of the Penguins." Other key executives for Empire include D. Frederick Shefte, Esq., President of Distribution and James Townsend, President of Production.

Demonstrating ability to bring serious talent on board. That guy wouldn't be wasting his time with EFGU if they weren't serious. Adds credibility to the company.

Empire already owns or controls a library of more than 170 titles for the U.S. market, over half of which are currently in release. Upcoming theatrical releases for Empire include the award winning family drama, "War Eagle" and the epic CGI animated adventure "Thru the Moebius Strip." Top selling current DVD titles for Empire include "Hounddog" starring Dakota Fanning, "Come Away Home" starring Lea Thompson, "Grand Champion" starring Bruce Willis and Emma Roberts, and "Teen Yoga" starring Miss Teen USA (2005), Allie LaForce. In addition to the company's theatrical and video market releasing activities, Empire also operates Hannover House, a successful and well-established book publishing label, founded in 1993.

As if acquiring 16 news titles isn't already enough, they decided to remind everyone of the 170 other titles out there(of which atleast 85 are currently producing sales). Bruce Willis, Dakota Fanning, Lea Thompson, and Emma Roberts starring in their current titles...again the caliber of the actors adding credibility to the company.

Saying that the float is NOT 20 million is just as "disingenuous" as saying that it isn't unless you have any facts to prove otherwise...please feel free to share any DD you find indicating otherwise
