I think 2018 is going to be a very long and trying year for EPGL and its shareholders...

"Business as usual" is about to become impossible for Hayes and crew!

OTC Markets Group Policy on Stock Promotion

The basic premise behind OTC Markets Group policy on stock promotion is the timely disclosure of material information, which includes the duty to dispel unfounded rumors, misinformation or false statements. Technology has increased the ability for companies, insiders and third parties to engage in improper and manipulative activities, including through spam campaigns, and anonymous social networks and message groups.

Paid promotions are often associated with pump-and-dump activities where a third party is attempting to pump the stock price to liquidate at inflated prices, following which the stock will inevitably go down. Improper and misleading promotional materials, which can often be in the form of e-mails, newsletters, social media outlets (such as message boards), press releases, videos, telephone calls, or direct mail, generally share the following common characteristics:

- Failure to identify the sponsor of the promotion or if the promotion is paid for an anonymous third party;
- Information focuses on a company’s stock rather that its business;
- Speculative language, including but not limited to grandiose claims and numbers related to the company’s business, industry, financial results or business developments;
- Touting of performance or profit potential from trading in a company’s stock with unsupported or exaggerated statements, including related to stock price;
- Making unreasonable claims related to a company’s performance;
- Directly or indirectly promising specific future performance;
- Providing little or no factual information about the company;
- Urging immediate action to avoid missing out;
- Failing to provide disclosures related to risks of an investment.
- Although not included in OTC Markets’ list of common characteristics, another red flag is when there is a comparison between the company being promoted and a well-known successful or respected company.

There are 10 points there... how many has EPGL regularly engaged in over the years?
