Calling equitrend "investor relations" is a stretch. I would term them more as pump and dumpers. I see the Mahoneys added a third to their group. I wonder what his Ihub nick is? You can bet he has one.

MDGC - MediaG3, Inc - IR/Attorney Issues

September 13, 2010 - MediaG3 Retains EquitiTrend to Manage Public and Investor Relations

http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/MediaG3-Retains-EquitiTrend-to-Manage-Public-and-Investor-Relations-1318095.htm

I see they put nothing in their filings about what they are paying for the IR services

I also see where they claimed $10,000,000 of media credits as an asset. Media Credits cannot be used as an asset. Big no no there. Companies only do that media credit thing for PR purposes. They are a sham as far as assets go. Totally worthless. They amount to nothing but future dilution and any company I've ever seen take the media credit route has only gone downhill with their PPS.



11995 El Camino Real
lots of businesses share that same address

http://www.showcase.com/property/11995-El-Camino-Real/San-Diego/California/313431

But Suite 300 seems to belong entirely to EquitiTrend

http://sdbj.com/news/2010/jun/14/sales-and-leases/

June 14, 2010
Equititrend Advisors LLC has renewed its lease on 3,083 square feet of office space in Carmel Valley Centre at 11995 El Camino Real, Suite 301, in San Diego, from Carmel Valley Center LLC. The property, renewed for 63 months at approximately $515,000, will continue to be used for general office space. The lessee was represented by Jeffrey Chasan of Grubb & Ellis. The lessor was represented by Eric A. Northbrook, SIOR, and Christopher P. High of Cushman & Wakefield.


Sounds like Equititrend Advisors LLC pays the lease for the suite. That means Michael L Corrigan must pay them for part of that space or Michael L Corrigan and Equititrend Advisors LLC may have some kind of business partnership.


Michael L Corrigan is a real attorney

Any idea exactly when Michael L Corrigan got hired as legal counsel for MDGC? Maybe August 2010?

These guys are essentially Crooks, Thomas Mahoney and his brother Jim Mahoney will take your stock and dump it all the very next day. They promise a lot but don't deliver. Feel free to contact their past victims and they will tell you the same thing. They used to go by equiti link but ruined that name so now they go with equiti-trend. Either way, it's a total ripoff no one should fall for.

That's rather odd. Isn't the attorney supposed to be "independent"?
