Well, management lied in the earlier years when they needed NSS to explain away their dilution. But at the end, when all the selling was done and there were no more carrots on sticks to dangle in front of investors in the form of promises of even more outlandish returns, they slammed the door on the NSS possibility so as to be able to walk away cleanly without the aggravation of those few stockholders demanding help to validate their NSS claim.
Management's parting words essentially were:
"Be patient. The dividend distribution may take a year or more".
and also...
"Don't contact us...we'll contact you".
Then they disconnected their phone & fax lines...
terminated their email account...
got revoked by the SEC...
lost their WY business license and got administratively dissolved by the state...
closed their USPS mail drop account...
and last, as a final gesture of contempt for their shareholders, shut down the Fortress Financial website.
Guess they were pretty serious about that not being contacted thing.
Now, there are those who would have you believe that all of this is unimportant for a company on the verge of distributing hundreds of millions of dollars to shareholders.
But the SEC, along with simple common sense, make it perfectly clear that without the legal means and infrastructure to do so, it just won't happen.
Add to that fact that there isn't even a declared dividend, meaning no registered dividend shares, and the cries of "Dividend coming" ring pretty hollow.
