MM's & Short Selling Bashers

[Coach]

FAIRFIELD, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 2000--Global Online India, trading under the symbol: GOLX on the OTC: BB, who launched its Indian internet portal and started trading on the over-the-counter bulletin board market only weeks ago, today asked the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to immediately start an investigation into the possible market manipulation and potential fraud concerning the trading of the company's stock by OTC: BB market makers.

Although the GOLX stock has been up over 1200% in the last six weeks, following a recent merger and a 200% stock dividend, the company claims that mysterious ``block trades'' have possibly been ``crossed '' or ``washed'' by some of the stocks' market makers with the intent of artificially moving the stock price lower to protect the market maker's position in the stock. ``We have worked very hard to build what we feel is truly the number one global internet portal in all of India and the market capitalization of our company is beginning to reflect this value in a very real and concrete manner. The market makers artificial downward manipulation of this new stock may very well be illegal,'' said Dr. Christopher W. Hartnett, Chairman and founder of Global Online India.

``A thorough and complete investigation into the recent GOLX trading history will most likely yield patterns of manipulation and fraud. Such market activity usually goes unnoticed or unchallenged because of the fear of retribution. We expect the free and fair trading of our company's stock and we respectfully ask the regulatory agencies to fully support this investigation into potentially illegal market manipulation. This inquiry is in no way intended to malign or discredit the many hardworking, fair, and honest professionals trading in the securities industry.'' said Dr. Hartnett.
