I don't think most people understand the legitimate reasons that a company goes public. The main one is that they are trying to raise capital. If it's a legit business, they really don't have much reason to go public on the BB. I know of three businesses that were "advised" to go public on the BB (as opposed to working much harder and going on the Nazz or just borrowing the money CHEAPER at a bank) and they totally regret it. The only people that did well on the deals were the underwriters. They ought to call them underTAKERS. It's not that hard to get on the Nazz, after all. I mean, it's a pain, but hey, that's part of the game. That's part of the reason it's hard, to try and keep the real bad boys in line. You have a business, the business is legit, you are making money, you can get on the Nazz. You can get on the Nazz even if you have never made a single penny in earnings! So why WHY do these companies go public on the BB? You know? What is the friggin' point? Hello... There are two I remember clearly. One was a company that claimed they were making money hand-over-fist with porn sites. Porn sites are big money makers. Porn sites are raking in the money (true, they are). So if this company is making all this money, WHY DO THEY NEED TO RAISE MONEY BY GOING PUBLIC??? And assuming they need the money for more porn sites or whatever, WHY THE BULLETIN BOARD?? Like Doh! What is wrong with this picture, you know? And the other one was A BANK! A BANK! A BANK goes public on the BB. That's like a guy with blood on his shirt and a sawed off shotgun that comes to your front door at 3 a.m. and says, "I'm a girl scout, you wanna buy some cookies? Tell ya what, give me a thousand dollars, and I'll bring you a box of cookies at some point in the future maybe if I can, OK?"

Another really funny one I remember. I read the red herring for Planet Hollywood. I don't know if you ever saw it, but it was hysterical. Essentially, they were going public to pay back all the celebrities that had pumped money into the deal. They were not shy about saying it, either. They had big glossy pictures of all the celebrities. If any of the boneheads bothered to READ the damn red herring, it said "we are going to use this money to pay back Arnold and Sly and everybody, and that's about it." Right. Like I want to be Chicken Savings and Loan and pay back Arnold who owns the entire business section of Santa Monica, California. You gotta wonder.

It's ingenius. They have Francoise and his loyal minions inundate the SEC with emails and faxes full of malarkey, thereby taking up valuable SEC investigator time. Time that could be spent putting the scanning tunneling electron microscope to that laughable 10SB. It's a good thing we're around to help the SEC cut through all the bull. I sure am glad ZSUN sued me, had they not I would have probably have been gone months ago. Thanks ZSUN. Have a nice day. CMB

I have an actual copy of that memorandum. I intend to show the world what it says and exactly what companies were involved. One person that was involved was Lynn Briggs ZSUN's former President of the company. He actually sells stock overseas and I have the documents to prove it. Imagine that. President of the company and selling stock to unsuspecting foreign investors. Funniest part is Briggs could have been selling them his own stock. Telling them how great the company was when it was trading at $17 1/2. Ahhhh, here is the original filing with Lynn Briggs name on it. We now know Lynn Briggs runs International Asset Management in Spain. That makes me feel much better. sos.state.nv.us good old Dean Heller Dean Heller Nevada Secretary of State Corporate Information Name: ZIASUN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
