Mr. Zwebner,
I have been a loyal long here in TVCP since last November. I know you're not going to like what I am going to say, and maybe I'm clueless as to what is really going on, but this is getting way out of hand.
I, for one, can handle all this c-ra-p the bashers spew out on these boards - it's obvious and, unfortunately, part of these boards. Also, I applaud your efforts in bringing these libelous, slanderous individuals to justice. What I cannot handle is my Chairman stooping to their level and making threats on a public forum. I understand you are angry, but this is not the way to solve this problem. It causes doubt in shareholders, and raises many questions as to the competency of their man in charge. I have e-mailed you my concerns before, and now I feel I must post it publicly.
Personally, I have great faith in you and your management team at TVCP, so much so, that I have done DD on EINI and SECT just because you are involved with them. However, this shouting match will only add fuel to the fires that are already burning, and slowly yet surely drive investors away. That is exactly what is happening - some people do sell out due to the bashers, but when they sell out to the Chairman, it is hard to swallow.
Mr. Zwebner, I can see what you and Mr. Rosov are building, and I am very excited with your accomplishments to date. As I have said many times before, you are building a very, solid foundation, on which the business plan can be executed with great success. I get very excited thinking about the future of TVCP, but I also get very concerned when management focuses so much on sideshows - that is what Les French, InternetZorro, et. al. is. By responding to them is such a manner, you are only giving them importance - don't give them the time of day, their tactics are obvious, and their logic laughable.
So Mr. Zwebner, I ask you to have fiath in your shareholders, as we have faith in you. We know what kind of potential TVCP holds, and won't be easily swayed.
Thank you for your time.....

MUNCHMAN
unlike others, I can take critisism, and I do listen to my shareholders. The issues here are much deeper than you and others are aware.
I can assure you that withing a very few days, this whole INTERNETZORRO / LES FRENCH matter will either be resolved or I will be forced to fully expose these animals for what they are. HUMAN FILTH, nothing else.
When I have told all the shareholders and revealed in detail what these filthy animals are all about, the cross accusations, and discussions in my opinion will be over.
The case will shut as abruptly as it opened. !
Thank you and all the others for your support.

And WORM,
I read what you say about support from the JD board.
I'm really sorry to now have to shatter your myth.
when you find out what your "supporter" French is all about, you too will come running for cover. He took you and all of us for a ride, till we did some real research and came up with some shocking truths.
The JD board is run by a person that is without doubt the worst type of human species ever to have been brought to society.
French...... 5 hours and 25 minutes.
Call my attorney.....

MR.ZWEBNER--
Hopefully this will all be over soon as you say. If these bashers do contact your attorney, could you let all of us know? The share price must be reflecting the trouble on this board.

The Dark Side: Internet Stock Manipulation
(The following is the third in a series of articles by Les French relating to MAXX International and other companies related to Michael Solomon and Jeremy Schuster.)
One wonders how seasoned Entertainment businessmen like Michael Jay Solomon, or the aggressive young lawyer Jeremy Schuster, choose their business associates. Perhaps, when it comes to developing investment markets for corporate shells, they look for aggressive promoters who have a quality for building recognition in the market place, and driving the price of the stock to profitable margins for large insider shareholders...
In the case of Sector Communications, Mohamed Hadid, who is listed as the chairman, and who also receives the greatest amount of compensation from Sector in the form of Sector stock, recently appointed Michael Zwebner to his board, of which Schuster was already a member. A glance at Sector's SEC filings just going back the past five years reveals an entrepreneurial adventure that never got off the ground. Sector, which wanted to enter the telecommunications business in Bulgaria, formerly had its telecommunications license revoked, for no apparent good reason, by the Bulgarian authorities several years ago. Now Sector is back in business in Bulgaria again, but according to SEC filings only has five commercial customers, all resort hotels, connected to its telephone network, with a grand total of nine employees.
Sector '"Communications has a history of legal problems which makes the company "not too attractive" for investors. It's SEC statement reveals, for example, a $40,000 cash judgment, among other judgments, which was later negotiated down to $15,000 cash, which the company admits it will pay only as soon as "it is able". And to make matters worse, its chairman, Mohamed Hadid, whose background is in five-star hotel properties, recently filed for personal bankruptcy, according to the SEC filing.
Hadid isn't the only director at Sector on the public company's board with a bankruptcy history. According to court documents, Michael J. Zwebner, who is chairman of TVCP, was an undischarged bankrupt as recently as January 1997. These kinds of legal disclosures would prevent a company such as Sector from becoming eligible for membership on Nasdaq or other public stock market, which should bring concern to financial enterprisers such as Solomon or Schuster. Further, Zwebner has not disclosed on any SEC filing the facts of his bankruptcy history. Still, Solomon may have good reason for wanting to keep Zwebner around.
Zwebner was formerly the CEO of a private enterprise which, through reverse merger, acquired what was essentially a defunct shell company, Legacy Software, now known as Talk Visual Corporation (TVCP). During the past year since the merger, Chairman Michael Zwebner has shown a remarkable ability to develop and promote the market for TVCP's stock, which about a year ago traded at about seven cents last year, and peaked as high as $4.00 late last February. The stock of TVCP is now trading at around fifty cents. TVCP's SEC filings demonstrate that it has little revenue from its operations, has few assets outside of real estate holdings and investments, and suffered net losses in excess of $5 million in the past fiscal year. So why is this stock so popular?
Zwebner seems to have spent a great deal of effort promoting TVCP's securities on the internet, particularly on anonymous message boards. In my last article, I described an "inner circle" of individuals, known as "Zwebner's List", who Zwebner regularly emailed with information relating to TVCP. Some of the persons on the List were bulletin board "regulars" who frequently touted the stock of TVCP. The tactic of Zwebner and these posters is worth examining at close range.
One of the "anonymous" posters, who remained in close contact with Zwebner for at least the past three years, was a TVCP investor using the aliases "ClearThinker", "John_Quinlan", "PointInCase", and various other aliases, at least eight in all, who would frequently appear on Raging Bull's popular message board and post information which purportedly had just been indicated by Chairman Zwebner in a phone conversation. Numerous times, during the period that TVCP made its meteoric climb from seven cents to four dollars, this individual held "conversations" with his "other aliases" online, in order to give the impression to viewers that numerous persons were endorsing and buying the stock of TVCP, and to lend credibility to the poster.
Not only did "John_Quinlan" manufacture conversations on the Raging Bull message board, he also redistributed information to his own e-mail list of about 500 recipients, also using the "John_Quinlan" alias, in an effort to further promote and tout the stock. On February 25th, only 11 days after TVCP sued "the_worm06" for defamation, the person using the alias "the_worm06" politely pointed out that at least four aliases were one and the same person. Quinlan and the other aliases immediately and mystically "disappeared" from any further appearances on the board.
John_Quinlan would also "leak" out previously unreleased information from the Chairman, in an effort to cause viewers to run out and purchase the stock prior to TVCP's formal announcements. Further, many casual viewers would be "duped" into joining in and participating in these manufactured conversations. On one occasion, the John_Quinlan "character" actually discussed having to go to the hospital to tend after his sick grandson. Viewers responded to the hoax with generous accolades of sympathy. Zwebner never once denied the authenticity of the posts, or the fact of his relationship with the poster.
If the John_Quinlan character knew and conversed with Zwebner only as a matter of casual coincidence, yet another online touter on Zwebner's List was and is actually employed by TVCP and Zwebner. This individual, employed in one of TVCP's local offices, regularly posts, masquerading as a casual investor, purportedly with no paid relationship to the company. Not only is this person a paid agent of the company, but is also privy to confidential information from Zwebner, and frequently participates in the discrediting of any critics, known as "bashers" by the touters, who dare to speak ill of either Zwebner or TVCP.
And then there is the strange case of another touter on Zwebner's List, a southern California psychiatrist who posts aggressively on the internet, often threatening Zwebner's critics with "death threats", and vulgar comments threatening vulgar "####" punishment and other intimidating threats. On at least one occaision this touter falsely accused Zwebner's critic, "the_worm06", of being a convicted child molestor. One would not normally expect to find a licensed practitioner of mental health sciences in the business of threatening, harassing, and otherwise verbally and socially abusing his victims. This particular touter also claimed to have made significant business introductions for Zwebner.
The list of touters goes on, however a pattern becomes evident. The Chairman, either by telephone, or through the "inner circle" e-mail list, would share "confidential" information which would soon be reported by the touters. This information, regardless of its significance, would soon find its way leaked out on the message boards by some of the same individuals. The price would immediately spike, even prior to the formal announcement by the company. This pattern continued for weeks until TVCP finally hit $4.00.
Zwebner denies that anyone was on the list other than "directors of companies" that he wanted to keep apprised of news releases while they were out of the country. Zwebner otherwise denies that the list exists altogether. But a close examination reveals that many touters are on the list, besides those mentioned above. In addition to directors and touters, the list also contains a large category of attorneys.
Besides the touters, Zwebner would occasionally appear on the boards himself, interacting with the posters. On one occasion, he actually confirmed a fictitious "appearance" by one of the touters at a investment gathering in which Zwebner made a public appearance. The appearance was fictitious because the individual was actually employed by Zwebner himself, and was not an unrelated investor who was casually attending the meeting.
There is a dark side to Zwebner: not all online appearances by Zwebner are for self-promotional purposes. Zwebner, who frequently tangles with his critics, utilizing the public message boards as a sort of lock-stock to brutalize his enemies. As mentioned above, Talk Visual Corporation filed a lawsuit against the_worm06, an online critic, and obtained discovery identifying the individual's true name, address, and phone number. "the_worm06" was never served with the lawsuit, however Zwebner published the_worm06's identity and business background online. "the_worm06" soon found himself subject to malicious, threatening phone calls, unwanted visitors at his door, and numerous "hate" messages threatening death or personal injury.
The investor market of Sector Communications, like Entertainment Internet, Inc., and MAXX International, all companies directed by Jeremy Schuster and/or Michael Jay Solomon, continue to flounder. With Michael Zwebner's proven history in promoting TVCP's stock to levels in which Zwebner and other insiders were able to earn millions of dollars while dumping millions of shares into the market, Zwebner could prove to be just the burst of energy needed to keep Solomon's and Schuster's investments alive.

Must read ...Michael zwebner reponds to email questions
I thank you for your emails.
Over the past week or so, we have seen the PERSONAL litigation of myself vs Villasenor / French et al expose itself to the public. I personally regret even having to post at all on Raging Bull, but I was innundated with emails from shareholders demanding replies to the false and defamatory statements put out by French/Internetzorro, particularly after the release of some of my personal email addresses. This was thanks to an "insider friend" who maliciously sent a copy of the email to French just to cause trouble and score points with this despicable person. While it really upset me, (because I considered this person a friend) I learned a lesson, and in due course, they too will learn their lesson, and they will find out that betraying a friend for personal vindictiveness can and will cost them dearly.
I, as a result of the pressure from shareholders, was left with no option but to "go public" and expose these sick people for what they are, and to show the shareholders the "true credibility" of these animals.
I can confirm that my attorneys, together with law enforcement are now looking and addressing this whole situation, and they will no doubt take whatever action is needed to put a stop to these people and their disgraceful posts. My personal aim is ensure that we completely close out and shut down the JD board, and what it truly stands for; lies, deceipt, false defamatory allegations etc. Looking and reading some of the recent postings there, makes it plain and obvious that this site has NO place in our civilized society.
On the TVCP business front, and in further reply to your questions, again I confirm we are well on track to accomplish this year what we set out to do, and what I promised we would. Our acquisitions are on track, our revenues are now growing fast, our business is expanding both in the USA and overseas, and we continue to work on the many new projects I have outlined in the past few months. Our financing with Ladenberg, recently filed with the SEC for their approval, is as you can imagine the single key important factor in our ongoing development plans, and as soon as the SEC approves the terms, and the registration goes effective, you and all our shareholders will see rapid and exhilerating progress, as well as completion of all the acquisitions currently waiting silently in the wings. It is with all these closings, couples with our own internal growth, that you will see our revenues not just reach but top our estimated annual revenues of $18 million this year.
Just to give you an idea, YAK Canada alone, topped (CAD) $1.4 million last month, and is already running about 7% NET PROFIT. My brother has plans to roll out YAK across Canada, and in the early part of 2001, commence operations in several key cities across the USA.
Yes, the share price is o concern to all of us, BUT, I truly believe it is more of an overal downturn and market reaction affecting almost all BB stocks. As I stated last week, almost every one of my investment portfolio, is down, some really low. I believe that after the summer vacations, the market will rally in September, and we should see a quick and solid improvement to our share price.
Lastly, in reply to questions relating to my directorship of Sector Communications and The Entertainment Internet, Inc, both these companies are now moving into a new era, and there will be some very serious developments soon. More I cant say at this moment.
I hope the above answers some of your questions, and gives all the shareholders a clearer picture of our situation, current and planned.
Good luck, and enjoy the summer.
