TRUTHSEEKER WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE DISCOVERED THIS INFORMATION: zsun.com located on their web site.

NOTE 3 - OTHER ASSETS | Other assets consisted of the following at December 31, 1998:

Memberships in country clubs $ 142,857
Prepaid rental deposits 25,583
Mortgage note receivable 250,000
Common stock held to maturity 857,143

$1,275,583

Please note the Membership in Country Clubs and common stock held to maturity appears to add up to exactly 1 million dollars. This is exactly the amount that was needed for the 504 offering. The ZSUN 8 will be requesting this information in their discovery. Truthseeker beleives that these country club memberships come from the following and are not from some golf club in Hong Kong as Francois Goelo had state on raging bull and this message thread. He even went as far as to say these memberships could appreciate in value. Truthseeker wonders who the insider could have been that contributed these country club memberships as paid in capital by owners. One has to wonder if Anthony Tobin will try and cover up this relationship with Stephan B Spencer and change the corporate registration with the state of NV for PERIPHERAL VISIONS, INC. just like they did with the registration of ZSUN techstocks.com . What is common stock held to maturity? I have asked several accountants and they have never heard of it before.

Francois, you have not commented on this at all. Is this true about Anthony Tobins relationship with a known CRIM? Are these the golf membership fees ZSUN used as assets in their 504 filing when the raised the 1 million dollars in the reverse merger. These membership fees and the common stock held to maturity add up to one million dollars. What was the common stock held to maturity? Sounds like 144 stock to me. I have asked accountant after accountant and they have never heard of such a thing. Is George Badger or Stephen B. Spencer a shareholder of ZSUN? Which insider donated those memberships to ZSUN?

What do STEPHEN B SPENCER, Anthony Tobin, George Badger and ZSUN have in common when it comes to Golf Memberships?

2. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. GEORGE BADGER, GOLF COMMUNITIES
OF AMERICA, INC., f.k.a. GOLF VENTURES, INC., DUANE MARCHANT, STEPHEN
SPENCER, KARL BADGER, MARION SHERRILL, HARMON S. HARDY, LA JOLLA
CAPITAL CORPORATION, HAROLD B. GALLISON, JR., TERRY HUGHES, MARVIN
SUSEMIHL, DAVID ROSENTHAL, ANDREW SEARS, and WILLIAM SLONE; United
States District Court for the District of Utah; 2: 97 CV 963K

2. SEC v. Badger, et al.
The Commission's Complaint, filed in Salt Lake City, Utah, alleges as
follows:
During the period from early 1993 through early 1996, defendant George
Badger directed a scheme to manipulate the market for securities issued by
defendant Golf Communities of America, Inc., f.k.a. Golf Ventures, Inc.
(GVI) by bribing registered broker-dealers and some individual registered
representatives to sell GVI stock to unsuspecting retail customers, and
causing GVI to file false periodic reports with the Commission and to issue
false press releases to the public. GVI is a Utah corporation primarily
engaged in developing a golf course known as Red Hawk International Golf &
Country Club (the Red Hawk Project).
Badger and his son, defendant Karl Badger, arranged to have bribes
paid in the form of cash payments or free GVI securities to registered
representatives and broker-dealers. In October 1993, GVI paid a $10,000
"consulting fee" to Burnett Grey & Co., at the time a registered broker-
dealer, in exchange for Burnett Grey directing its brokers to sell GVI
stock to its retail customers. That agreement was negotiated by Badger and
defendant Marion Sherrill, the then-President of Burnett Grey. In December
1993, after Sherrill left Burnett Grey, defendant Harmon S. Hardy, the
majority shareholder of Burnett Grey, agreed with Badger to continue to
sell GVI stock to its retail customers. As additional compensation for
Burnett Grey's selling efforts, Badger later arranged for a block of GVI
shares to be transferred to Burnett Grey so that Burnett Grey could meet its "net capital" requirements and continue to operate as a broker-dealer.
During the period from October 1993 through February 1994, defendant Terry
Hughes and other brokers employed by Burnett Grey caused their customers to
purchase approximately 48,000 shares of GVI stock for approximately
$340,000, pursuant to the agreement between GVI and Burnett Grey.
After Burnett Grey went out of business in early 1994, defendant
Marvin Susemihl introduced Badger to defendant Harold Gallison, the
President of defendant La Jolla Capital Financial Corp. (La Jolla Capital),
a registered broker-dealer, where Susemihl was a registered
representative. Susemihl and Gallison negotiated an arrangement whereby
GVI paid La Jolla Capital approximately $35,000 as a phony "consulting fee"
in exchange for La Jolla Capital directing its brokers to sell GVI stock to
La Jolla Capital's retail customers. During the period from May 1994
through August 1994, La Jolla Capital representatives, including Hughes and
Susemihl, arranged the purchase of approximately 63,000 shares of GVI stock
at an aggregate price of approximately $498,000, pursuant to the agreement
between GVI and La Jolla Capital.
Badger and Karl Badger paid bribes to defendants David Rosenthal,
Andrew Sears, and William Slone, registered representatives associated with
other broker-dealers, who sold GVI stock to their retail customers in
exchange for the payments received from Badger and Karl Badger.
Finally, during 1995 and 1996, GVI failed to disclose in various
public filings and announcements that Badger controlled GVI, making nearly
all important decisions regarding GVI's business activities. In addition,
GVI made material misstatements and omitted critical facts concerning its
principal business -- the development of a residential golfing and
recreational community, the Red Hawk Project, on undeveloped land in
southwestern Utah. For example, in late October and early November 1996,
GVI announced that Granite Construction Corp. (Granite) had "completed 85%
of the mass dirt movement" associated with the Red Hawk Project, "should
complete onsite sewer installation by Wednesday, Oct. 30," and that Granite
had completed installation of certain sewer lines. In fact, Granite walked
off the job in late October 1996, after completing less than 50% of its
scheduled work, because GVI had run out of money to pay Granite.
Defendants Duane Marchant and Stephen Spencer served as GVI's President and
Chief Financial Officer, respectively, at the time that GVI engaged in
these false and misleading disclosures.
Based on the foregoing, the Commission alleges in its complaint that
Badger, GVI, Marchant, Spencer, Karl Badger, Sherrill, Hardy, La Jolla
Capital, Gallison, Susemihl, Hughes, Slone, Rosenthal, and Sears violated
the general antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. In
addition to the relief the Commission is seeking in all these actions, in
this particular action, the Commission seeks a permanent bar against
Badger, Marchant, and Spencer from serving as an officer or director of any
public company.
In April 1997, Badger pled guilty in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York to a four-count information alleging:
(i) conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, money laundering and
commercial bribery; (ii) securities fraud; (iii) criminal contempt; and
(iv) perjury. ======END OF PAGE 4======

Francois, in reading your post # 5943 I was initially surprised that you took exception to my comment that you have drawn parallels between ZSUN and CMGI. I distinctly recall reading a Press Release to this effect. So, to prove my point I went to ZSUN's web site to find the Press Release. Guess what Francois? It wasn't there. Nowhere to be found. An oversight I thought as I went to Yahoo! and various other sites that have even older Press Releases. Guess what? You got it! Nothing. I was beginning to go nuts. Was this Press Release a figment of my imagination? And then I thought, let me check SI. And there it was Francois, post # 74. Has ZSUN retracted this Press Release? Is this why it's not on their web site? Is this why you took exception to my comments on the parallels between ZSUN and CMGI?

Here is the Press Release Francois. Do you still contend that you and/or ZSUN have not drawn parallels to CMGI?

ZiaSun Takes CMGI Strategy To The Next Level And Adds New
Asian Web Portal To Holdings

SAN DIEGO, CA - March 26, 1999. ZiaSun Technologies Inc.
(OTC BB:ZSUN)(http://www.ziasun.com) announced on March
24 that it will launch an Asian oriented e-commerce portal called
"Asia4Sale'' (http://www.asia4sale.com), based in Hong Kong.

ZiaSun Technologies has acquired a diversified portfolio of
established Internet companies which are profitable and have
excellent growth potential. ZiaSun is expanding on CMGI's
(Nasdaq:CMGI - news) strategy in building, investing in and
acquiring leading edge Internet service companies while enhancing
the highly business successful model through cross marketing.
ZiaSun is different from CMGI in that all of its Internet products
and services are synergistic and designed to cross market each
other, as well as make money on their own.

Anthony L. Tobin, president and chief executive officer of ZiaSun
said, "The project is currently in an advanced stage of
development. We have teams of programmers working on this in
Hong Kong and Manila. A major marketing drive is also being
planned from our regional headquarters in Hong Kong.''

Asia4Sale will be a three-part e-commerce facility catering to the
global market offering Home Shopping, Industrial Auctions and
Business Barter.

Home Shopping -- "ShoppingAsia,'' will allow online shoppers
anywhere in the world to order goods direct from manufacturers in
Asia, and have these purchases delivered direct to their door.

Auctions -- "AuctionAsia,'' whereby businesses, dealers or
individuals all over the world will be able to buy or sell heavy
equipment, vehicles, machinery, stock lots, etc., in the Asian
region, through the company's online auctions. "It is much like an
industrial eBay (Nasdaq:EBAY - news), but we will be
performing more like a traditional auctioneer, by taking legal
possession of the goods and collecting payments. This will avoid
the sort of legal problems experienced by other online auction
services when sellers have failed to deliver goods to the buyers,''
said Tobin.

Barter -- ZiaSun's Asia4Sale portal will be greatly enhanced by its
recent acquisition of Pacific Barter Ltd. (www.pacificbarter.com),
an Asia-based operation specializing in business-to-business
barter transactions, the third principal element of the e-commerce
hub, "BarterAsia.'' Pacific Barter's exchange system allows its
member clients to trade without the use of cash. The company acts
as a third party clearing house for transactions between members,
and takes its revenues from commissions. Tobin said that ZiaSun's
expertise would be used to expand Pacific Barter, particularly on
the Internet. The barter operations would be integrated into the
Asia4Sale project, he added.

ZiaSun has invested heavily in its strategy to become a highly
branded Asian Web Portal similar to Go2Net in the United States.
ZiaSun.com is an Internet portal or gateway to the Internet, such as
Excite (Nasdaq:XCIT - news), Lycos (Nasdaq:LCOS - news),
Go2Net (Nasdaq:GNET - news), and Infoseek (Nasdaq:SEEK -
news), that provides many services and features for its visitors.
Because the Internet is growing so rapidly, specialized or niche
portals are being developed as the hubs or gateways to the Internet
for groups of individuals with specific interests.

ZiaSun Technologies is a provider of Internet products and
services and Internet-focused support services. ZiaSun's primary
Internet services include: swiftrade.com,
mfinance.com, pinmail.com,
mediahits.com, and searchdragon.com.

ZiaSun's statement comes hot on the heels of a joint-venture deal
struck just days ago between Microsoft Corp. and Hongkong
Telecom, who on March 9 announced plans to develop a
high-speed Internet service, providing shopping, movies, news,
music and software via home personal computers and televisions.
Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) Chairman Bill Gates was in
Hong Kong, now a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of
China, for the announcement, which also coincided with a
commitment from the software giant to participate in a HK$13
billion (US$1.66 billion) cyberport being developed by the
government.

Market research group International Data Corp. (IDC) were
recently quoted as predicting that electronic commerce in the
Asia-Pacific region (excluding Japan) would reach US$16.5
billion by 2001. The number of Internet users is expected to grow
from about five million in 1997 to more than 25 million, according
to IDC. The Asia-Pacific market may end up having the largest
number of e-commerce customers in the world by the turn of the
century, they predict.

Note: Any statements released by ZiaSun Technologies Inc. that
are forward-looking are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Editors and investors are cautioned that forward-looking
statements invoke risk and uncertainties that may affect the

A SAD story that brought a tear to the Truthseekers eyes. Sad, so sad.

Francois,

I took Gus' complaint seriously, as all complaints should be taken seriously, even though I never got a response to my request for details. I e-mailed Veritas, and they checked the phone logs. I'm not here to pursue arguments, but as we've heard one side of the story, it's only fair to post the other. Veritas says he talked to 2 people, not 6, in fact they don't have 6 people working on the ZSUN account. They have no record of the brother, though it is possible that he dealt with the other Veritas office. The reference to a merger stumped everyone, as nobody could imagine why anybody would mention that word in connection with ZSUN. It is possible that someone mentioned an acquisition that was under negotiation and expected to be consummated soon, referring to Pacific Barter.

I am personally inclined to believe Veritas: I have passed written material to them before and had to run through repeated drafts before the lawyers were happy.

Daniel asked me to check out the Raging Bull thread. I did, and saw several familiar people, as well as some new ones. A poster there raised legitimate questions on the status of audited financials. I am not in a position to report on what is going on at ZSUN headquarters, but I do know that we were knee deep in auditors for several weeks in February, and that they proceeded to HK from here. My guess is that the delay is because this is the first consolidated audit of ZSUN plus all holdings, and it is in preparation for SEC filing, which means it must be extremely thorough. The holdings are in a number of countries, and everything has to be brought into conformity with US standard. I think the original estimates of the time it would take were overly optimistic: I for one have never been through this process before, and I was amazed at how complicated it actually is.

Let me stress that I am NOT on the financial side, I work for Momentum Asia, not at ZiaSun's main offices, and there is a lot that I don't know. The above is a guess, and there may very well be other factors involved. I've asked for more information and a firm date, and will pass on anything I hear.

Steve

Dan, I have talked to Veritas and they informed me that ZSUN will be filing a form 10 on or about April 15th, and are expected to be fully reporting thereafter. Elevation to NASDAQ NMS is anticipated in the 3rd quarter, depending on the speed of processing the application.....Randy

Actually, I asked the same question to d'Amaro today. He said the financials...

are practically finished. So, we're probably looking at another 2 weeks or so, judging form past experience with Companies about to release their financials.

F. Goelo + + +
Gerard Joseph D'Amaro (CRD #2385619, Registered Representative, Boca
Raton, Florida) was named as a respondent in an NASD complaint alleging that
he provided to a public customer correspondence in the form of letters, facsimile
transmissions, and telexes written by , containing false and misleading
representations. The complaint also alleges that D'Amaro failed and neglected to
obtain prior approval of the correspondence from a principal of his member firm
when he knew or should have known that prior approval of outgoing
correspondence was required pursuant to the NASD rules. (NASD Case #C05990019)

Actually FG 666, as Johnny Carson used to say "I did not know that" FG: "Did you know that Short Selling is not allowed on the AMEX Stock Exchange and that ZSUN would be well advised to consider listing on AMEX rather than the NASDAQ??"

You are full of crap, the AMEX allows short selling. The difference is that the OTC BB allows one to short sell without and uptick. That's because is all there is over there is GARBAGENICQ!
