regulator, i want to be, quite possibly the first to commend
you for coming forth, and explaining your plight. while many posters have alluded to the fact that you, and/or your claim is fictitious, i believe otherwise. many have alluded to the p.r., that claims were re-negotiated, to 1/2010.
but, a little word was left out in their thought process. that word is "secured".
now, if one postulates that perhaps your loan is unsecured, and that also perhaps you and/or your partners were friends of dotsons, that would explain the possibility of the loan being unsecured. many deals are done on handshakes, and pieces of papers/i.o.u.'s signed with an x.
but theres another ugly side to this. many have alluded to dotsons impeccable level of honesty, diligence and integrity.
now, you come along, and illustrate the other side of the man. one that is less than credible, is somewhat disingenuous... one that has poor management, and business acumen. now we see he even acknowledged the obvious abuse of painkillers, which leads me to think that the rumors that had circulated about him having DUI infractions are true, as well.
i'm glad you acknowledge the fact the copper is there. i have realized that all along. my problem ALWAYS has been with management, and the poor way the business is run. and, you post helps illustrate it, in a much clearer light.
as a business man, also, i would encourage you and your partners to line up any or all documentation, and present it as a claim. the way this stock has been running, and the way management is witholding information, and the problems we are now seeing virtually on an everyday basis, you best get in line.
its gonna be a long one.

I am a first time poster. I have enjoyed reading all of the posts over the last few months. My partners and I lent Copper King Mining/Dotson Individually more than 1M over a year ago now. Dotson has used every excuse in the book as to why he has been unable/unwilling to make payments. He has accused us of coercion, said we were loan sharks, said he was on pain killers when he signed the note, etc. etc. etc. In my opinion, Dotson lacks integrity, and is a poor manager. He knows mining, but does not appear to have the capability or know how from a management stand point to bring this thing to the next level. The copper is there--of that there is no doubt; however, if Dotson cannot keep up with his obligations CPRK will fail. I have had contact with the investors holding the first trust deed. they are planning to file a notice of default in January 2010 if Copper King/Dotson has not made real progress. I hope he does for all of our sakes.
