Jason, thanks again.
'There are things you can't discuss for ethical/legal reasons.' The ethical stuff signals that you are an upright guy. The legal stuff suggests things are going on that cannot be made public at this time. Obviously people don't discuss details of 'bad legal things,' but 'good legal things' are also kept confidential until the right time.
Re Brenda Hamilton - we (the ihub group) know she was Nixon's agent for Nixon Restaurant Group in Florida for a year before NRG was reverse-merged into WCVC to go public. Then she stopped being agent (just before the reverse merger), and then she was listed as agent for NRG again last year (March 7, 2023).
Re Jim being "puzzled" that you mentioned her -- was that because her working for him really means no big deal is happening that she is helping him with, or because he didn't want to let on that her working for him IS a big deal, and he played dumb that you raised her name (i.e., 'how would you know about her?' - as if he couldn't imagine that people would see that her name showed up in his Florida state filing for NRG)?
If Hamilton has been working with Nixon for all the in-between years, it's a) not a good thing that she couldn't steer him clear of all the bad guys in the first place, but b) maybe he made his own decisions but then she helped him deal with the fallout re the SEC/FBI stings. But still, to on-lookers like those in this group, since she advertises herself as a 'go public' lawyer, why did Nixon put her name out there as his NRG agent last year? Not to over-inflate her reputation, but if a person/firm hires some-big-name-lawyer and lets the public know about it, it means something.
Re Form 10/return-to-SEC-filing being expensive, and too expensive for now -- yeah, we sort of knew that. But is that why he let himself be revoked in the first place, because it was too expensive to keep his filings current? Between the time he last filed with Edgar (to say his 10-Q would be late) and the time he got revoked, a year went by and his O/S doubled from roughly 3.4B to 7B. Was that also due to the (or more) "convertible debt bastards"? If so, have they been caught and punished, since that wasn't that long ago? Aside from prison, don't penalties include forced disgorgement of ill-gotten gains? Did Nixon get anything back?
Getting back to the trading topic, we also know that the OTC-alternative reporting method is possible, and Brenda Hamilton has submitted attorney letters for other companies that either allowed them to return to trading or to keep trading. How expensive is that alternative?
One attorney made a blog-post that indicated that a company could return to trading by a) getting its filings caught up and b) pleading 'special circumstances'. I don't know the details about that, but it sounded almost like a 'get-out-of-revocation-almost-for-free' approach, if the SEC is in a good mood.
Thanks in advance for a) checking out Takiza in Arvada (and posting a good Google review), and b) seeing if there's anything going on behind the glass on Wynkoop St. Hopefully the glass on Wynkoop St still isn't obscured by permitting red tape.
