GRLT has been a penny stock scam for over a decade. What real investors are going to want to invest big money in Gaia with GRLT involved with it?? The OTC is full of AI and token scams, and Johnney hooks up with this??? Any whiff of fraud makes most accredited investors run... Johnney's USP token is currently down 50% from when it was first offered to accredited investors. They sold 50,000 of the 1,235,000 max available in the offering that ended April 2024. Nothing more since. USP token is supposed to be Gaia's first sponsor.
Johnney's a dope to use GRLT for Gaia. Ya gota ask why?? If he's so successful and has as much money as he brags about, why not start with his own public company. It's not hard and if he would have started a year ago, he would now be well on his way and trading by now with a new shares structure and his own name.
GRLT has a ton of baggage...
The public company's identity continues:
In a common type of merger where a private company wants to go public, the private company will merge with an existing public company. The private company's management, assets, and operations will continue, and the public company may change its name to the private company's name, but the public company's legal identity and history remain.
Financial and legal history is inherited:
The combined company will inherit the public company's financial records, including its assets and liabilities, and any ongoing legal issues. The private company will need to conduct thorough due diligence to understand the full scope of the public company's financial and legal standing before the merger is finalized.
In the eyes of the law a company is treated the same as an individual. FINRA will have many questions about GRLT's past. Johnney and Primior are now part of that history and owns all of it. Fraud, debt, judgments and all.
The stuff you missed...

I'm sure there is much more as lying conmen don't disclose the crimes they commit.
GRLT has been used for over a decade to commit fraud... A is a serial scam.

Gregory Micthell has been a very naughty CEO/CFO... Global A Brands was all a scam controlled by Timothy Alford and Greg knew it within months of the deal closing. Manny Lopez was a partner of Alford when they merged with GRLT in August 2022. After Lopez finally figured out what was going on, and after he got ripped off 1.6 million, (that's what that lawsuit in Nevada was about that I posted, they settled but Lopez of course never got the money) Lopez MUST have been informing Greg of the situation. Like the filings and FINRA issues. None of the many, many problems and issues of theft and fraud was ever disclosed to GRLT investors by Greg Mitchell or Manny Lopez.
North Andover, MA: GRILLiT Inc. (“GRILLiT” or the Company, OTC:GRLT) has appointed Manny A. Lopez, Founder and CEO of Global A Brands, as Chief Executive Officer and Director. Greg Mitchell has relinquished the CEO role and will remain on the Board of Directors as Chairman.
According to management, GRILLiT is currently undergoing the FINRA process required to be recognized as a fully reporting company. It is expected the process can be completed early in Q1 2023.
“We appreciate the patience of our collective shareholders at Global A Brands and GRILLit as we navigate the regulatory process” stated Manny A. Lopez. He further commented “As we initiated the merger process, we discovered GRILLiT had a number of delinquent filings dating as far back as 2012. We needed to be sure that we could complete the process and we now have confidence that we have the necessary items to satisfy all of the regulatory requirements.”

Obviously, FINRA never processed anything. GRLT is a serial scam loaded with theft and fraud
Global A Brands (Grillit) was raising hundreds of thousands of dollars from investors for this new Global A Brands concept. Turns out the money was disappearing as fast has it came in.
Dec 12 2022
Modus Operandi
Alford operates in over-the-counter stock exchanges, which are less tightly regulated than major exchanges such as the Nasdaq or ASX (Australian Securities Exchange).
He allegedly convinces investors to tip funds into a company that he says is about to list on the stock exchange. But the deal does not go ahead, and the money allegedly makes it no further than his own company bank account, which he uses to fund his lifestyle. Instead of returning investors their outlay, it is alleged he tells them it has been converted into shares in another company that he claims is about to list, which buys him time until that deal falls through. And then he converts their shares into yet another company again. An Australian judge found in 2014 that Alford had engaged in “misleading conduct” by reneging on his promise to return investors’ funds if a particular company did not list.
“There was no evidence that any steps were taken to obtain an ASX listing. The documents produced indicated that none were taken,” District Court Judge Phillip Taylor said. The judge also found that much of the $700,000 that had been advanced by investors went straight to Alford.
Ty Rohrer, who managed a Californian cannabis business that Alford offered to float on the stock market in 2021, said he was astonished by how many investors accepted Alford’s claims at face value.
“He’s a true conman,” Rohrer said. “He talks really well. He seems informed. There was a lot of information I gave him that he grasped really quickly and was able to put out to investors. He had a lot of people convinced.”
In mid-2021, Alford came up with a new concept of merging several luxury consumer brands under a single entity called Global A Brands and floating the company.
He pitched the idea to Manny Lopez, founder of a medical start-up, and offered him the position of chief executive, saying that if each of them tipped $250,000 into the company, they would be able to take it public through a reverse merger with an existing shell company.
Lopez raised his share of the capital, but according to his subsequent legal claim, Alford suffered repeated setbacks and delays. He kept being held up by auditors, while asking Lopez for personal loans because there was a problem with his account due to his immigration status.
As chief executive, Lopez needed access to the company account, but the signature cards Alford claimed to have sent to him never arrived. Meanwhile, Alford continually asked investors for more cash to progress the deal.

But the billionaire was wrong about the 80 stockbrokers and the Arabian horses, and after Halvorsen introduced Alford to his investors, Alford had a change of heart about the mezcal company. The investors were rolled into Global A Brands instead.
“And all the time I was left with nothing,” Halvorsen said. “Like, what just happened?”
In early 2022, Alford celebrated his unbridled run of lies and deception by hosting a Super Bowl party at the trendy Hollywood nightclub Academy LA.
Like other corporate sponsors, he agreed to pay $200,000 to have the name of one of his companies, GammaRey, emblazoned on the sponsor board, and invited his own guests to mingle among celebrities, including rappers Wiz
Khalifa and Lil Jon, Fox Sports personality Jay Glazer and NFL player Terrell Owens.
Unlike the other corporate sponsors, he declined to pay the bill.
“This has been the most unprofessional business relationship I have personally ever been a part of,” the furious event organiser said in an email to Alford. The bill remains outstanding.
But Alford continued to coast on sheer chutzpah. On a visit to Las Vegas to meet Halvorsen’s former business partner, Johnny Mahoney (not his real name), he managed to convince Mahoney’s next-door neighbour to invest $300,000 in his companies and the neighbour’s doctor friend to throw in $50,000 as well.
“Tim has a good read on people, and this guy [the neighbour] wanted to be liked,” Mahoney said. “[Afterwards] he said, ‘Tim is like Dracula. He looks at everybody as blood to suck dry’.”
By this time, Mahoney was becoming frustrated with the progress of the float. He did not understand why Alford kept asking him to raise more money to float the business when Lopez had told him there should be enough to start trading.
“He would direct the news very clearly,” Mahoney said.
“He would say, ‘Don’t talk to Manny, Manny’s an idiot’ or ‘Don’t trust the lying Mexican’, and he would tell Manny the same thing about me.”
Lopez, meanwhile, was yet to be furnished with copies of the company’s accounts.
“It’s like an abusive relationship because you’re reliant on him to get money because you have no access to the accounts,” Lopez said.
“He would go dark on you for being a drama queen and wouldn’t answer his phone, and then you’re trying to be nice so he doesn’t go dark on you again.”
Ashley McCarthy, also working on the Global A deal, was equally fed up with Alford’s continual excuses. He started most of his sentences with “I just can’t believe …” and ended them with a fresh excuse or “blame shifting” as to why he couldn’t do something, she recalled. “Eventually, he became like a ticking time bomb,” McCarthy said, explaining that his “demeanour completely shifted when caught in a lie” and escalated into a “full-blown psychological attack if you pushed at all down the wrong lane.“
In July 2022, Lopez finally obtained copies of the company’s bank account. It left him “absolutely sickened”.
On almost every occasion that investors had wired a large sum of money to Global A Brands, it was immediately transferred to Alford’s AD Securities account. He could see now that the acquisition of a cannabis skincare company in Switzerland had fallen over because Alford transferred investors’ money to his own company instead of the Swiss company. It was clear that a second acquisition was about to fail because there was not enough money in the account to pay for it.
The bank records later obtained by Lopez also showed payments to individuals who claimed Alford owed them money and a young woman who Alford had met in Miami at the Faena, a five-star hotel that features a 24-carat gold-plated woolly mammoth skeleton at its entrance.
“I think he was trying to win me over with money,” the woman said. “If I was crying about something or had a bad day, he would send stuff to me, like clothes or perfume. I was 22 years old, and I’m going to take the money.”
She cut off contact in 2023 after they went on a date to the US Open with front-row, centre-court tickets worth $10,000 each. About two weeks later, she received a call from the broker who sold the tickets, asking where Alford was as the bill had not been paid. “I started getting bad vibes,” she said.
By the time Lopez saw the bank statements, he was getting more than bad vibes. Everything that had troubled him – the ongoing issues with auditors, the unpaid lawyers and accountants – suddenly made sense.
Now, he let loose, calling Alford a thief and promising to report him to the FBI. Alford goaded him. “You can’t close a deal,” he said in a text message, referring to the fact that a public float was yet to occur. “It’s loser Central... so call or go hard because I will fuck you up. I don’t need to be lecturer [sic] by a Mexican.”
Nevertheless, according to Lopez’s statement of claim, Alford offered to settle the dispute with a $1.4 million payment that accounted for all the money moved out of the account. The money has never been paid, although on three occasions, Alford has claimed to have paid Lopez back in shares while incorrectly filling out the stock transfer form.
Lopez has given a statement to the FBI.
Alford’s personal assistant, Gaelle Morrisseau, a New York model with little previous administrative experience, sued Lopez and Alford for the non-payment of her wages. According to her legal complaint, she was virtually unpaid for two months and not paid for overtime. They agreed in May to settle for $20,000 but defaulted.
Lopez alleges his investors alone lost at least $8 million.
But though he has obtained a judgment for $1.6 million in his favour, he has little chance of recouping the money since he alleges Alford does not have any bank accounts in his name.
“I struggle to find words to capture the effect that Tim Alford has had on my life,” Lopez said. “He is a man without conscience, nothing more than a thief whose actions ripped apart my family. I am certain that no one is better off from knowing Tim, and I look forward to the day he faces justice.”
“I’ve been through a lot in my life,” Ashley McCarthy said, but “what he does to people is next-level psychotic abuse.”
She likened the experience to the metaphor of the frog in the pot of boiling water. “By the time you realise what’s been going on, you’re usually cooked,” she said. “I feel so bad for people who lost their entire livelihoods, homes, whole families destroyed.”
Emotional and financial toll
Johnny Mahoney lost his girlfriend and, for a long time, could not talk to his parents and friends who lost money investing in the business. His neighbour and the doctor friend who met Alford through Mahoney never saw their money again.
In late 2022, a court ordered Alford to return $50,000 to the doctor, who had sued him for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The neighbour was so angry with Mahoney for introducing him to Alford that Mahoney moved house.
“He started throwing dog poop into my pool and threatening me every day,” Mahoney said.
At one point Alford told Mahoney that he was coming back to Vegas, but then he cancelled.
“He said, ‘Why would I come? I’ve taken all that I can, there’s no more money that I can get out of Vegas’,” Mahoney said.
“It was such a swindle. It’s been the most devastating thing in my life.”
But Alford’s life also appeared to unravel last year.
He was spotted in the foyer of the Fontainebleau in Miami, allegedly claiming that the card to his room wasn’t working. Associates have told this masthead that he was sending bag men to pick up his luggage and the tab at hotels where he owed money. A phone video doing the rounds among his disgruntled investors and former associates shows him lying on a New York street, unable to rise to his feet, as cars whizzed past.
Tim Alford passed out in New York City
As the number of Alford’s enemies swells, an unflattering video of him intoxicated has been doing the rounds.
His last sighting in the US was in July, outside an apartment he was renting in New York City, where he looked like he had been beaten up. He was next detected at a budget hotel in Canada. There were rumours that he had crossed a crime family, that he wanted to go to Dubai, that he was headed to London. Manzke, the art dealer, heard he was living in Colombia.
Through his lawyers, Alford claimed the allegations put to him by this masthead were incorrect and inaccurate and he had been given insufficient time to respond. He said he was living in the US and had renewed his visa for two years in December 2023 but did not give an address.
A Miami victim told the Herald: “He rips off 10, 15, 20 people in a city and goes to the next city … Charleston, Vegas, LA, New York, Miami.”
The unsuspecting residents of a fresh foreign city are about to meet him.
