I know the SEC is very busy, so if they're looking around here as you suggest, I thought this might be helpful. Yes, it's from 18 months ago, but it's worth noting that SEA Section 10(b) and SEC Rule 10b-5 have a two-year statute of limitations after a fraud is discovered, but not more than five years after a fraud occurred. I'm not saying fraud occurred, just that the below is... curious... and it would certainly attract my attention if I were investigating securities fraud. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation. Anyway, consider this chart:



Here's the July 31 2015 PR: http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/ISBG/news/International-Spirit-and-Beverage-Group-Updates-Besado-Tequila-Launch?id=111007&b=y

HOUSTON, July 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- International Spirit and Beverage Group (OTCPK:ISBG) is pleased to announce it has begun an aggressive brand awareness campaign through multiple avenues in music and entertainment with several of the country's top artists for its Besado Tequila.

"We have hit the ground running," said Terry Williams, chief executive officer, International Spirit and Beverage. "Besado Tequila is currently being endorsed by some of the biggest names in the music industry soon to be debuted worldwide in a few weeks."

Besado Tequila is now featured in projects with T Pain, Juicy J, Bow Wow, Jermaine Dupri, K Camp, and Fetty Wap with several others already scheduled to follow.

"The plan is right in line with the runaway success our team did with Hpnotiq Liqueur while initially targeting vastly similar markets," said Jeff Freiberger, chief operating officer of International Spirit and Beverage Group. "We believe our marketing and sales plans can support a launch of significant magnitude and create similar results to brands we've worked with in the past."

International Spirit and Beverage is currently setting up the necessary licensing and permits for distribution of Besado Tequila in NY, NJ, FL, GA, and TX, and has secured an advantageous agreement with its production facility in order to support large volumes and timely runs of the newly redesigned Besado bottle.

Not a lot of meat, and it certainly doesn't seem to explain the sudden surge in buying a month later. Indeed, the PPS continued to decline during August 2015 as seen in the chart above.

But then, oddly, as September 2015 began there was an out-of-the-blue surge in buying for no apparent reason. The board traffic during that period is also interesting...

The PPS ran from .0070 to almost .02, and then, "coincidentally," ISBG announced their MetLife deal on September 17:

ISBG Signs 5-year Deal with MetLife Stadium

PR Newswire

HOUSTON, Sept. 17, 2015

HOUSTON, Sept. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- International Spirit and Beverage Group (a Nevada Corporation) (OTC: ISBG) is pleased to announce that the company has signed a five-year contract with options for renewal after the fifth year with MetLife Stadium and the Quest Diagnostic Training Center in an all-cash transaction. MetLife Stadium will promote ISBG and its brands through various avenues in and around the stadium complex while the ISBG stable of brands will be available for sale at the bars and suites.

"This deal brings our Besado Tequila, Dziaq Liqueur and Cavoda Vodka brands front and center to the largest alcohol market in the nation," said Jeff Freiberger, ISBG's Chief Operating Officer. "We anticipate that this will create immediate, high demand for our products. The New York metropolitan market represents over 23 million people which is equal to over 7% of the U.S. population according to the US Census Bureau."

MetLife Stadium, home to the fourth and sixth most valuable professional football franchises (according to Forbes), is the perfect showcase for ISBG's premium brands of liquors.

"MetLife Stadium is a state of the art entertainment mecca for sports as well as concerts that always draws a capacity crowd," Freiberger continued. "ISBG will have pre- and post-game spots on the Jumbo-Tron, significant L-Wrap exposure on high definition TVs throughout the stadium, advertisements in game programs, spots on radio broadcasts, train station signage, external billboards and that is only just the beginning."

In addition to the benefits derived from the 80,000 people attending each football game, ISBG will have a presence at every concert held at MetLife Stadium.

"The ISBG signage and ISBG-sponsored bars will continue to operate beyond the end of the football season," Freiberger added. "Concert goers will be able to enjoy our brands at the stadium bars. ISBG benefits by reaching a significant new audience."

Freiberger notes that not only is this deal unique but he expects it to yield tremendous dividends to ISBG, even in year one of the contract. ISBG will also be a pillar for local charitable needs in a give back program to be announced

"ISBG is extremely proud and excited to have signed a deal of this magnitude in one of the premiere entertainment facilities in the nation," Freiberger concluded.

International Spirit and Beverage Group is an authorized importer, licensor, and marketer of alcoholic beverages. Our initial portfolio consists of Besado Tequila, Dziaq Liqueur, and Cavoda Vodka. The company website for ISBG is currently active. Check out our progress at www.isbg.global and visit us at @drinkisbg

And it was all downhill from there (probably because of the bashers and shorts, let's be honest).

Still, this almost seems similar to the PPS recently peaking around February 1, right when someone started dumping hundreds of millions of shares into the bid, killing any momentum fueling a run.

It's funny too that the company specifically mentioned February 1 as a day to look forward to, as that was to be when the "six-figure" marketing campaign "commenced." Of course, on February 2 (same dat the company tweeted that it "does not dilute"), it released that PR saying that, actually, the "six figure marketing campaign" would "begin in February." Business is hard though. Stuff happens. I completely understand.

And yet the dumping continued...

Such a strange market down here.
