Mrchnt: Have you spoken with Mitchell Nussbaum (the attorney)? If so, on what date, and what did he say?

If you haven't spoken to him but would like to, here's the number: (212) 407-4000 You'll speak to a company secretary first, and then get forwarded directory to Mitchell's secretary. I hope you have better luck than I have getting him on the phone.

My last interaction with him was June 19th, and at that time it sounded like the fractional share payouts would happen, but be delayed by the court mechanism. Feel free to go back to my post on that day for more details.

Hi Today 32,

No, unfortunately, I have not been able to speak with Nussbaum. I think that my timing must be really poor. Each time that I have spoken with his secretary, he has either been "in a meeting,"on a business trip", "cannot be reached at the moment, or some other b.s. excuse"

I laugh at the 3rd one above: cannot be reached at the moment

CANNOT BE REACHED AT THE MOMENT?! WTF?! He can't be reached at any moment.

Well, at least the smaller AOBI investors cannot reach him "at the moment." At any moment.

I've left my name and telephone numbers (both my office number as well as my cell number, so that I "may be reached" ANYTIME "at any moment" Nussbaum's choosing.

I understand the position that Nussbaum's personal secretary is in; she has to cover for this guy, telling me that he will call me back. These calls occurred several months ago.

This is really LOW-RENT on the part of Nussbaum - about as LOW RENT as it gets - I would NEVER, EVER blow off a client, or even a 3rd party that is connected to the client. Hell, this Nussbaum guy could even bill a fraction of the hour (and then some), padding the bill, describing it as "pct [phone call to] - yet another pissed off, disgruntled AOBI shareholder that got [b[color=red]]screwed over[/color] by Tony & Company." And he could even justify it by giving me some non-answer answer (e.g., "I'm terribly sorry [even though on the inside he is not the slightest bit sorry], but this matter is currently under review and may be the subject of various shareholder suits and/or 'other litigation' and I am not at liberty to discuss this 'at the moment'." Cite "Attorney-Client Privilege,"" and Boom. 10 and one-half minutes later, "pct pissed off s/h" = 2/6 of one (1) "billable hour" 1/3 x $600.00/hour = $200.00, give or take.

Multiply these calls over and over and you might start talking real money. Unless, of course, the real money is made by taking a million or two from the small, and handing it all over to Fat Tony & Co.

Any lawyer worth his own salt would know that AOBI (aka, the company that was stolen from us), would be more than happy to pay Nussbaum's billing(s) for "pct shareholders," hundreds of shareholders," hundreds of times over, knowing full well that AOBI management has made out like a BANDIT, stealing our company right out from under our feet, through the use of FALSE and MISLEADING STATEMENTS, MISSTATEMENTS, MATERIAL OMISSIONS [plural] made to the SEC regarding its SCHEME to "GO DARK" by way of the "reverse-split."

Somehow, I suspect that if this is the end game (i.e., paying fractional shareholders a buck and a few cents for any shareholder that held less than 501 pre-split shares), AOBI management is going to be billed A LOT MORE by Loeb & Loeb. Especially when AOBI management's own attorneys (Nussbaum & L&L), advised smaller shareholders that they could either buy enough shares to take them over the 500 limit (assuming that they were cool with going dark, private company, etc.), or in the alternative, they could sell enough shares to hold less than 501 shares, and AOBI WOULD BE PAYING $0.50 FOR EACH AND EVERY "PRE-SPLIT" SHARE BELOW 501. That statement is repeated throughout their SEC filings. There are countless other examples, but I have a feeling that Nussbaum has been advising Tony & Co., about all of these "little problems." As evidenced by all of the pcf [phone call from] Tony re: "the SEC situation" billings.

Which probably explains why it was that Mitchell couldn't call back a shareholder in AOBI- he must've "been on the other line" talking with Tony about the "small problems" that are about to become Whale-Sized.
