Mitchell Read Replies (2) | Respond to of 26163 Press Release March 1, 2001 Date: 03/01/2001 On February 28, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commision filed a civil action against Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. ( the former name of Amazon Natural Treasures.Com, Inc.) and the President and CEO, Michael A. Sylver. The Complaint also names a former officer, Domingos Loricchio Jr., who is no longer associated with the company in any capacity. The compaint alleges various securities violations on the part of the company and its officers occuring primarily in the years 1996, through 1999. Although Amazon Natural Treasures.Com, Inc. acknoledges the SEC's vital role in overseeing the securities laws for the protection of the investing public; the company respectfully disagrees with, and firmly disputes, each and every allegation of the complaint. As we have explained in our previous Press Releases, the company has been the victim of a classic "PUMP AND DUMP" scheme orchestrated by professional stock manipulators who have destroyed many other companies before striking Amazon Natural Treasures.Com, Inc. Some of these individuals are convicted felons and others are presently fugitives from justice. The Strategy of the "SHORTERS" is to drive the company they have victimized out of business before they have to "cover" the millions of shares they illegally market to the investing public, and they do this by spreading falsities to the company's customers, stockholders and the regulatory agencies. Amazon Natural Treasures .Com, Inc. has commenced many court actions against the persons it regards as the perpetrators of.niphix.com
