Nutripure Beverages Inc (NBVG)

[Rachel Alexander]

I'd like to clarify the relationship between Steve Nickolas and Nutripure. What "pectonline" has written about my friend Steve Nickolas is not true.

Steve is not a fly-by-night beverage distributor. He has 35 years successful experience in the beverage industry. There is an extensive bio of him here: insert-text-here. There has never been a lawsuit against him for taking someone's money. He has a very good reputation in town, living in Scottsdale over the past 21 years, and he still has the same cell phone number he had in 1995. Not exactly an indication of someone trying to run from his past. He has been at the same office location since 2005. He is well-respected in the political circles in town where I first met him. He is regularly quoted in news articles and industry magazines about the beverage industry.

This criticism of him is related to his brief association with Nutripure, from January to March of 2008. Steve was inappropriately forced out by others at the company, which ended up in a year and a half of litigation. He was exonerated of everything, which is documented in public federal court pleadings -insert-text-here. What Nutripure has done since then - such as a reverse split of penny stock shares - has nothing to do with Steve. "Kenyatto Jones" and the Nevada address pectonline references are Nutripure associations, not Steve's. Steve now works for XND Technologies, a subsidiary of Nutripure, and keeps a healthy distance from Nutripure due to their earlier mistreatment of him.

There is always room for another opportunity in the beverage industry. Steve is innovative which has carried him quite far in this field. His next venture will be coming out soon and will be something not yet seen in the bottled water industry. He is honest, kind, smart, ambitious and the kind of person you feel very comfortable doing business with. I would trust him in a heartbeat to invest my money, and I don't say that lightly since I'm not wealthy. He is the last person who would rip you off, and his long established reputation alone backs that up. There isn't anything else out there on the web that backs up what pectonline is accusing him of.

Pectonline's beef appears to be with Nutripure's reverse split of stock shares, which was done after Steve was forced out.
