With seeking alpha? I was asked to be an author for them, but never got around to writing articles. I am, in no way, attempting any stock manipulation. Just stating facts. I think a lot of people may have jumped to conclusions too quickly about Billy Ray, because of that black mark on his record in which he was cleared of charges. The fact is, he took over a company that had a lot of debt, due to the asbestos business having a limited lifetime and AQUM had to make a change. I am simply trying to make sure that people do know the facts about what can be proven by reading up and doing DD. It's easy to point fingers when we lose some money. In this particular case, however, the usual insider trading and direct company dilution (that accompanies most scams) are simply not occurring. Then you have the usual fear mongers that will use any little detail to exploit and attempt to make it a big deal, and people just panic from the possibility. Either way, this loses attraction when there is so much money to be made in many other stocks. Billy Ray effectively has cleared millions of debt from the liabilities of this company, and it hasn't gone into his pocket. I don't know if you read the rest of the agreement with ASC, but it also included a significant cash payment as well. This could answer the question on why AQUM still had to take promissory notes out from ASC again. (Remember, ASC Recap and Asher Securities are two different entities, not the same one. This could further explain Asher's desire to convert everything ASAP. They knew that AQUM owed money to ASC Recap as well and wanted to make sure they hot theirs first, since it was still unclear how successful AQUM would be in telecom, considering they started in 2013 with a new business model.) Like I said, this last quarter has been the most active since the company made the switch to telecom, and still seems to have lost value disproportionate to actual dilution. This only leads to more dilution, because of the terms of the contract on the stock tranche payment is calculated by the 20 prior trading days to each payment. Now people are also afraid of a reverse split, but the terms listed can go no higher than 20:1, unlike many other R/S's that are 50:1 and up. I think that 10q, and news that stock tranche payments are complete will bring this thing right back to life, if it doesn't run sooner without those 100 share slaps.
