Re: 5/1/01 - [AZNT/ANTD] Amazon Natural Treasures.com claims recent pink sheet transactions were "fraudulent"
PRESS RELEASE
DATE LINE: LAS VEGAS, NEVADA MAY 1, 2001
To all Broker dealers trading in Amazon Natural Treasures.Com, Inc.’s stock, Cusip No. 02313U 101:
This is to advise you that as recently as April 30, 2001, various brokers have been reporting "sales" of shares in Amazon Natural Treasures.Com, Inc., (ANTDC), on the "pink sheets" under the symbol "ANTD".
As of this time, however, all the shares of Amazon Natural Treasures.Com that have ever been issued are either (1), on deposit with NIPHIX, or (2), in the possession of the company and being transferred to the beneficial owners based on the official records which we retain and control, or (3), are part of a 6,942,687 share block of restricted stock (inclusive of a five per cent dividend which was mailed to the company's beneficial shareholders at their registered addresses on or after February 6, 2001). None of the shares subject to the dividend have ever been subsequently transferred from the name of the beneficial owners.
Accordingly, there can be absolutely no shares available for purchase or sale by broker dealers, market makers, or anyone else, except through NIPHIX (website: www.niphix.com <http://www.niphix.com> / telephone number: 800-780-6060). Simply stated, all of the shares currently being bought and sold, (from a low of $0.52 to a high of $12.00 dollars, yesterday), do not exist and such transactions are clearly fraudulent. Further, we have to question how the share price can vary from $0.52 to $12.00 during a single day!
Meanwhile, the persistence of these reports has become a major source of confusion in the market, and the company has been receiving numerous phone calls from brokers and others trying to make sense of the situation.
It seems inconceivable the NASD and NASDAQ would knowingly allow such activity to continue, and we have therefore requested that the NASD and NASDAQ act immediately to take both the "ANTD" symbol and the name Amazon Natural Treasures.Com off the "pink sheets".
All inquiries to this Press Release should be directed only in writing to our Offices. Written Inquiries may be faxed to 702-942-0101 or emailed to Amazon@Amazon-Treasures.com <mailto:Amazon@Amazon-Treasures.com>.
