I was asked by Ga Bard on another thread about VTCO. Told him I would answer here.
VTCO - biz.yahoo.com. Looks like they are trying to do what VUSA and many others do already, only VTCO only booked a few million in sales last year. They just paid a consultant a million shares to help them figure out their business plan. sec.gov
In short, I don't see why anyone would bother with a BB stock like this when there are plenty of online retailers on the NASDAQ already.
VTCO also hands out new stock like candy:
