There is lots of misinformation being spread about David Lazar.
http://zenithpartners.net/IS NOT David Lazar's website. That website belongs to Tammy Kim Shin who runs Zenith Partners International Inc - a California business entity she created in 2012.
You can find that entity yourself through the California business entity search page and verify that David Lazar is not nor was he ever an officer of that company.
you may notice that company has nothing to do with IPOs or reverse mergers or public securities at all. You may also notice that the logo for that company looks like this:
David Lazar together with Barry Synter started a company named Zenith Partners International Inc in Nevada in 2012. That entity was abandoned in 2014
David Lazar together with Barry Synter started a company named Zenith Partners International LLC in California in 2014. That entity didn't do any of its required annual filings with the California SOS after 2014 and was cancelled as a business entity in November of 2017
This is/was the logo for David Lazar's Zenith Partners International
The domain wasn't renewed in 2016 and became available for new ownership. In October 2016 somebody else bought control of that domain.
David Lazar's Zenith Partners International doesn't currently have a website.
It is easy to see how that mistake was made.
2) David Lazar - background/experience
Besides his Zenith Partners IPO/reverse merger/public securities financing venture, Lazar was also the COO and control person of Dico Inc which went public via an S-1 as a shell company in 2014. The CEO of Dico Inc was David's father, Edward Lazar.
The bio provided for Dico Inc gives us a little more background on David Lazar:
David Lazar is currently 27 years old (he was 23 in 2014) He is from Jerusalem, Israel He studied economics at Nassau Community College in 2008, and continued his studies at the University of Bar-Ilan in 2009 but lists no degree to his credit so he probably didn't complete his studies. After his college studies, David worked as an account manager at V-Stock Transfer, where he specialized in sales and marketing. After leaving V-Stock Transfer, David Lazar began his Zenith Partners International venture.
Barry Synter (David's partner) was involved in acquiring the publicly traded Ecology Coatings Inc (ECOC) shell out of Bankruptcy in 2014 together with Shulamit Lazar (David's mother)
The David Lazar involved in the Disney’s Steamboat venture IS NOT the same David Lazar. Just because two people have the same name doesn't make them the same person. That is just super shoddy due diligence by whoever came up with that bit of information.
---------------------------------------------
As far as the custodianship filing stuff goes, some people did a nice job of finding that and getting in early.
David Lazar filed for custodianship of the abandoned One World Ventures Inc (OWVI) shell on March 7, 2018. OWVI was a dirty old Ronald Lindsay shell that abandoned in 2016
Lazar used experienced attorney Peter L Chasey (who has worked for several different shell hijackers in the past).
According to the petition, David Lazar bought 100,000 shares of OWVI knowing it was abandoned. He attempted to contact the former officer to no avail and is requesting (as a concerned "shareholder") that the court grant him as the custodian of the shell through his Wyoming business entity Custodian Ventures LLC
Shell hijackers come and go (Peter Berney/Michael Anthony/Bradley Swahn/Richard Astrom/Brian Goldenberg/David Stocker/Paul Enright/Raymond McNamee/Eugene Koppenhaver/Bryan Glass/Mark Taggatz/Bruce Barton/Joseph Meuse/MinnyMarGroup/John Jarvis/Robert Stevens/Rhonda Keaveney/Joseph Arcaro/Warren Wheeler/David Clark/Sergio La Grasta/Bill Schaefer/Adam Tracy/etc).
Peter L Chasey in particular worked for MinnyMarGroup, Rhonda Keaveney, Warren Wheeler,Sergio La Grasta, and Adam Tracy.
It looks like David Lazar is the new shell hijacker in town. It is very possible with Lazar's past connections to Adam Tracy that it was Tracy that helped guide Lazar into the shell hijacking business after he became a banned securities service provider.
Other abandoned public shells that were hijacked by David Lazar include:
Bryan Clark previous worked for shell hijackers like Peter Berney, Michael Anthony, Bradley Swahn, David Stocker, Eugene Koppenhaver, Bryan Glass, Mark Taggatz, and David Clark
Obviously with the dead shells coming back to life they provide all sorts of reverse merger speculation and some trading opportunities because of the new interest in these stocks that went so long with no real interest at all. I guess time will tell if they ever amount to more than just speculation or just end up being used for future pump & dump action as dilution vehicles for dirty debt arrangements.
