Alert



Big boy's vote it in, then later be awarded new shares/warrants to fatten themselves back up, all the current public holders will be destroyed...company starting all over...if your a holder vote it down, you got nothing to lose that you haven't already lost.

This company takes the award for the most disgustingly managements of all time, it should be published in 'Guinness World Records' as a model for the most unfavorable pig headed company ever conceived.

This is their 2nd reverse split in less then a year...the 1st was a 1 for 5... now a 1 for 250

case closed,

Regards
