Truthseeker make it easy for the masses to understand. If a failing BB stock did a reverse split, would you buy it? If that same company did a reverse split and issued huge amouts of restricted shares for one year diluting the company would you want the restricted shares while the insiders that had free trading shares could sell all day and not have the dilution effect them?  Every one of these "Imitation IPO's" follows the same pattern, control shell, reverse split, change name and ticker, issue restricted stock to idiots. What a business! Truthseeker says don't be a idiot. Don't let these criminals get away with it. I deal in facts and not one person on this thread has disputed that these so called SIPOD's are nothing but failed companies that did reverse splits and taking you for a ride.  =======================================  ULAB history:  LPI Holdings 5/2/97 (LPIH)  Redwood Interactive Group (RING)  N/C from Triumph International Foods on 5/3/99 (KRAB)  1 for 100 reverse split on 5/3/99 according to Bloomberg  ==========================================  Solutionnet International Ticker SLNN was

  TRIUMPH INTERNATIONAL FOODS INC.  8/5/97 17:36  Receives Letter of Intent For Up to 3 Million Lbs. In Blue Crab Orders  Business Editors and Food Editors 
  SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 1997--Triumph International  Foods Inc. (OTCBB:KRAB) Tuesday announced that it has received a letter  of intent for the purchase of up to 3 million pounds of premium blue  crab products from a leading U.S. seafood distributor. 
  This major letter of intent follows the distributor's analysis of  Triumph International Food's business plan and methods of harvest,  processing and transport, which concluded that Triumph's methods "are  state-of-the-art and will produce a product superior to that of any  currently on the market at this time." 
  Peter Logan, chief operating officer and chairman of the Board of  Triumph International Foods, stated, "In my 17 years in the seafood  industry, I have never encountered blue crab that compares to the size  and quality found in the prolific fisheries of the Strait of California,  Mexico. From the very beginning I have adamantly contended that we  could use new technologies to bring this high quality crab to the  lucrative U.S. markets." Logan continued, "Having spent a great deal of  money and time on the research and development phase, it is very  gratifying to have  respected industry veterans concur and enthusiastically seek a  relationship with Triumph." 
  Commenting on the impact of reduced domestic blue crab harvests, Peter  Logan said, "In our initial projections, we were using a figure of  around $10/lb. for high grade jumbo crabmeat; current market prices  suggest a figure closer to $15.75/lb. Bare in mind, under the NAFTA  trade environment, our peso-based raw material  processing and labor costs are as low as 50 U.S. cents/lb. The supply  dynamics of the U.S. market afford us extraordinary profit margin  potential." 
  Packaged under their own private labels, the distributor intends to buy  finished processed crab products from Triumph. Their usage would  include whole dressed I.Q.F. crabs, cocktail claw fingers, jumbo lump  and white lump crabmeat, and dark claw crabmeat. Additionally, the  distributor's international subsidiary intends to  private label shrimp products in the burgeoning Mexico market in  conjunction with Triumph. 
  Based in Scottsdale, Triumph International Foods is positioned to become  a fully integrated specialty seafood producer capitalizing on a  strategic combination of leading-edge technologies and the NAFTA trade  environment.
