Janice,
It just occurred to me that some less perceptible folks might not understand the information found in one of my previous posts, the one from Canada Stockwatch.
exchange2000.com
Canada Stockwatch has data that says that Rachfall and Patterson were disclosed as shareholders of a Titan Inv. in November of 1996. (The number 9611 is a date expressed in Canadian dating format.) Canada Stockwatch also says that Titan Inv. was a non-public (private) company at the time of the disclosures. From earlier posts, and from testimony revealed in the many postings from the multitude of transcripts, this is roughly in the same time frame that Titan Investments/Total Concepts International funded or partially funded a reverse merger that eventually gave birth to the public company now known as Amazon Natural Treasures (information obtained from testimony in one of the transcript postings). This time frame also roughly corresponds to the same time frame of the criminal acts that Mr. Rachfall and Mr. Patterson are alleged to have participated in (kickbacks, manipulative practices, etc...).
The testimony of Robert Quiel (from one of the transcripts that you folks posted) was that he shorted (or attempted to short) an unknown number of shares for an unknown client sometime in (or about) June of 1997, a mere 7 months after the Canada Stockwatch disclosures.
From earlier posts on SI, I see that Mr. Michael Sylver was at one time alleged/believed to be the head honcho at Titan Investments. At some unknown point, he is alleged to have relinquished that post to another individual. [I have seen earlier posts on this thread that speculate that either Mr. Gary Sylver or a Mr. Rudy Cal(?) may have been the successor(s). Mr. Michael Sylver's own testimony from one of the transcript postings would indicate that a Mr. Rudy Cal(?) is the person in charge now.]
Nowhere does Canada Stockwatch state that either Mr. Patterson or Mr. Rachfall is a current stockholder of Titan Inv. If either or both of these brokers liquidated their Titan Inv. holdings, the disclosures are not available using the Canada Stockwatch database. However, that doesn't mean that the liquidations never took place. They're simply not documented at the source site.
So one question that begs to be asked: "Is the Titan Inv. that Messers Rachfall/Patterson were/are stockholders in, the same Titan Investments/Total Concepts International that is mentioned in the transcripts and elsewhere on this thread?"
A second question that also needs to be asked is: "Why would Mr. Patterson bad-mouth (remember that non-literal "threat"?) Mr. Michael Sylver if he and Mr. Sylver had never had a prior relationship?"
