Lets dig into Abdelnour - This guy is no joke:

I also recently found out that he was a former President at Arab Bankers Association of North America: more on this later below

As Founder and Chairman of the Financial Policy Council, Ziad K. Abdelnour is also a Wall Street Financier, Author, Philanthropist, Activist, Lobbyist, Oil & Gas Trader & President & CEO of Blackhawk Partners, Inc., a New York based private equity “family office” that focuses on originating, structuring, advising and acting as equity investor in management-led buyouts, strategic minority equity investments, equity private placements, consolidations, buildups, and growth capital financing in companies and projects based both in the US and emerging markets and the trading of key physical commodities.

He was recently listed as one of the 500 Most Influential CEOs in the World.

Three things stand out here: Elate Partners / DPG Investments / Arab Bankers Association of North America

Look at the bold portion in that quote:

Elate Partners, a Chinese investment group backed by large institutional, strategic and wealthy individual investors from China.


Do you want to know who else is apart of Elate Partners? Andrew Eros - He's the CFA - Chartered Financial Analyst at Elate.

He's ALSO the Associate Real Estate Partner at guess where? Blackhawk Partners.

Then there's a company called DPG Investments: A large private investment firm led by Chairmen and CEO Daniel P. Galvanoni - WHO IS ALSO a Partner at BLACKHAWK.

To add more to this: Ziad K. Abdelnour is a Partner and INTERNATIONAL Advisor at DPG Investments.

Images below will help to tie this all together:

Then we have Demetri Michalakis - Partner at both Inter-M Traders and Blackhawk:



Quote:
Besides being one of Blackhawk’s key partners developing the Firm’s physical commodities trading business to the four corners of the world, Demetri is also the Managing Partner of Inter-M Traders, a firm in partnership with Blackhawk Partners


The we have his Bloomberg Profile For Ziad K. Abdelnour:





He's the former President of Arab Bankers Association of North America.

ABANA convenes hundreds of distinguished guests each year to celebrate the most accomplished individuals working in the Middle East, North Africa and North America.

ABANA members are drivers behind many of today’s discussions around global financial and economic issues and they share a commitment to improved business flows and understanding between the US and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. ABANA’s eighty member institutions and 600 members are engaged in a diverse range of financial and commercial ventures. The majority of ABANA members are based in the US, and approximately 15% are based in the MENA region. Learn how to become a member of ABAN.

ABANA is governed by a 20-person board of directors who are elected by its membership

Take a look at some of the members here:








It's a pretty big deal to be afflaited with this PLUS to be PRESIDENT of it. I mean look who the President was after Abdelnour - Amer Bisat, Managing Director at BlackRock, who concluded two terms as ABANA president. Yeah, that BlackRock: the 10th largest AUM company at $6.3 Trillion


Something else I found:

Ziad is also the Managing Director at TerraNova Capital:

TerraNova is a global firm with operations and investments throughout the world. In addition to our national presence in the U.S., we have extensive experience in Asia, the U.K., Europe, Africa and Australia.

Blackhawk and TerraNova offices are basically in walking distance as well.






And all of this ties back to Woodbrook Group and their companies. There is some serious SERIOUS money behind this. And you have to know that they are heavily invested in Woodbrook Group.



Then here's some supplemental information you may find interesting:

I wonder if Billionaire and former Director & Executive VP of NHPI, Alan Kestenbaum still holds his shares here.

He's the founder and CEO of the steel juggernaut Stelco Holdings Inc. that trades on the NAZ at $19.00. He's still a present board member for NHPI as well.






On top of all of this:

Former CEO David Ambrose, as of October, still holds 320,000,000 common shares (28%) and has EVEN gone as far to say this:

In addition, Mr. Ambrose has agreed to assume, indemnify, and defend the Company from an liabilities arising prior to the Agreement.

THAT IS HUGE... then we have this:

Then we have Michael Doherty like all kinds of tweets relating to NHPI and pending news. Even saying this in a Facebook message "We are working closely with the SEC and lawyers to make sure everything is within the law." And a follow up that they are now just waiting on the SEC.



This seems to have been in the works for quite some time which explains why we still have not heard any news or pre-news. Every T will get crossed and every I dotted before anything is released.

It's safe to say there's something pretty massive going on here in the background and once news hits I hope everyone here has their shares locked in.
