Six Posts on Message Boards Results In Company Lawsuit
Houston, TX -- (OTCBB NEWS NETWORK) -- December 12, 2001, Eagle Building Technologies, Inc. (EGBT: 8.55) joins the list of companies looking to stop the perceived bashing of their companies on the message boards.
EGBT is looking for "Spadeboy", who they say posted, "false, defamatory, and libelous information about the Company" on Raging Bull.
Eagle is acting fast on the issue, Spadeboy only started posting 6 days ago. Spadeboy posted 9 posts that day and stopped. As matter of fact, Spadeboy was warned by one of the board gurus on only his third post that someone may be looking to sue over his/her comments.
Obviously, Spadeboy has ruffled feathers. The company filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County, Florida. The complaint seeks to ascertain the true identity of Spadeboy. "Once the true identity of the defendant is discovered the company will pursue all available remedies," according to report filed with the SEC today.
At 1:40 EST, EGBT is off .75 (8%). 143,900 shares have exchanged hands.

Here it is ladies and gentlemen. 1 minute less than 2 hours and the President and CEO of EGBT *PUBLICLY* responds to the *message boards*. When is the press release due? Is the *Alligators and Seminole* marketing firm doing the press release? "STOP THE PRESS!!!!!!!!!!"

Spadeboy. Dont worry. He will not sue you. He wont even tell the SEC. He is just trying to scare you. But let me tell you, I have never in my entire life seen a CEO lash out like that. That is disgusting. Few words of advise though. Being that I have already stated my feelings about this company what you said was pretty damn stupid. Opinions and statements are 2 very different animals. If he does try and sue you make sure you get all the names in this forum and record the statements during your discovery, especially the statements about brokers working on this board and price predictions. Its in your favor. Also due research into SLAPP and anti-SLAPP lawsuits.

DEAR MR. D'AMATO,
Thank you very much for stepping in to support EGBT against
ruthless posters.
I myself have been trying to get answers to a few questions here, and would appreciate your help as there is much innuendo on this board, and your expert answer will no doubt clear up any confusion that may exist.
1. Regarding the Salinas project, how much of the 340M in revenues will be added to EGBT's top line? and how much will be added to your bottom line as a result?
2. Do you have other projects planned?
3. Are your U.S. manufacturing facilities in Boca Raton, Florida?
4. Please clarify the Kashoggi equity investment that was announced in 1999.
5. Could you please provide a biography for Paul-Emile Desrosiers, the new CEO and President announced on 10/9/2001. He sounds like a good man for the job given EGBT's apparent intention to become a worldwide concern. I might have missed it, but I do not see his biography on your website.
Thank you kindly and best of luck to you and Eagle!!!!!!

you say it goes higher, I say it breaks down. I have backed my posts with facts, not some fiction as another poster had done. Again, I disagree with spadeboy. I have interesting points that have not been adressed. Everyone here is giving ridiculous price predictions. They dont have earnings. Having 1 qtr hardly qualifies them as being even a 10 dollar stock. There is no PE...therefore...no earnings. AMEX listing, seems someone has either inside information or its a pipe dream. Reverse splits, stock payments in lieu of cash, dilution, the players involved, past companies, missleading press releases...the list is endless. It doesnt matter what my position is. If I wanted to buy the stock I would do the same research on the company as I do with any other company. It wasn't a warm reception when I showed up. Everyone assumed I was short and the insults that were flying hurt my feelings. If I wanted to disclose my position I would. Either I am long, short, or no position. You be the judge.

Just because I dont share the same euphoric view as you dosent mean I am obsessed. I have presented factual evidence. Everyone here presents only innuendo, *inside information* etc. I have never attacked this company. EVERYONE HERE attacked me because I didnt share the same view as they did. As far as I am concerned, and I have seen it many times, the company *might* be worth $4.00. I feel over the coming weeks we will see what the investors *really* think it is worth.
As far as the CEO threatening to sue a poster on a message board, he should've been smart enough to let the lawyers handle that. Its more the reason to think this goes against all the longs. If you feel that this is such a great investment, my opinion should not even matter. Stay long.

Blech
....is David Blech.
During the early '90's, the erstwhile Mr. Blech ran a
small brokerage firm that billed itself as a bio-tech
"boutique". Typically, he would charge the obligatory fees
for raising money for these small enterprises while lining his own pockets with cheap stock and warrants (typically
at pennies, per share). It was a great gig while it lasted
but his "greed gland" got a bit bigger than his estimable
ego. He wound up spreading himself too thin(kinda like Hitler). The NASD found him to be deficient in his net-cap and in spite of his running around, trying to leverage a bunch of B*** SH** paper-ultimately got the boot.
Since then, I suppose he occupies himself by trading his own account. On the side-he is an elitist bigot that seems to have a problem with folks of the....um, goyem persuasion
which basically means that he's p*ss*d off at more than 95%
of the world. Since he began contributing to this thread
we have since learned:
1) he can't spell (goi?)
2) he can't read, accurately (company filings)
3) he can't produce a reasonable argument ( he continues
to submit that a Company that will do better than a
buck in earnings has no value)
4) he can't dial a telephone(561-487-3600, ask for D'Amato)
In the meantime, many of his Companies have diappeared or
have, at least become seriously diminished. It was very difficult for these neophyte offerings to withstand the
onslaught of selling that occurred when Mr. Blech emptied his coffers, once full of founder's stock and cheap cheap underwriter warrants.
Suffice it to say that Mr. Blech took his CLIENT'S MONEY and HIS EXPERIENCE and turned it into HIS MONEY
and his CLIENT'S EXPERIENCE!
In the meantime, it is apparent that he lacks polish and poise. I frankly can't understand how someone-with the opportunity to obtain so much knowledge about his industry
-ultimately has absolutely nothing to show for it. It must be so frustrating to be one of the fallen-and yet, not have a clue how to get back into the game. Maybe it's a lack of intestinal fortitude or some other personal deficiency. Maybe it's just a complete lack of ethics.
Undergirding and overarching everything, I guess it's just
another human tragedy!
But, Hey!....on a lighter note-there's no dearth of Eagle Buyers! Saw Goldman in there this week as well as a few
institutions. I guess they recognize the entrepreneurial
spirit and hard work that has become so apparent to so
many!
....and whoever said Institutions don't buy stocks like this are completely wet!

Dear Bledsoenut,
Thank you for your cogent reply.
Could you shed light on another of question I asked earlier but no one (as smart as you) responded to:
1. Is Anthony D'Amato related to Sen. Al D'Amato, or his brother Armand D'Amato or the D'Amato family? (that would be a big plus in my eyes, especially with all the connections that would come with same).
2. I may get to Florida this winter and wonder if Eagle has offices or a manufacturing facility worth visiting?
3. Could you point out in which SEC filing the Kashoggi investment was discussed? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks again for your help. Good luck to us all.

Monte:
I'm about to "crash" for the night but let's see if I can help.
1) No, he's not... which, as far as securities go, is kinda fortunate when taken in light of Senator D'Amato's
preferential treatment by the notorious Stratton Oakmont.
Hint: Anthony's "connections" are solid and hard earned.
He's respected by the Democrats because of the strength
of his relationship with Meyer Berman, a staunch Democrat.
His ties to the Republican Party are at the highest levels
having worked very hard on Dubya's election campaign.
2) I'm sure that I can arrange a meeting at the offices,
but, again it's either Missouri, Utah, or Italy if
you want to get dirt under your nails.
3) I'll be happy to check it out and post it for you.
Bled
p.s. isn't cogent just the coolest word?

So, as I see it (no, I'm not spadeboy); corporate insiders post here and were offended by spadeboy's opinions. So upset, they ran straight to the lawyers.
Hmmm...perhaps spadeboy is him/herself a corporate insider. Do you have a cat fight on your hands?
I checked his posts....seems pretty ordinary to me. Lies? Maybe...so what. Nothing unusual here. Another sanity check is to ask Raging Bull if spadeboys posts violated the stated Terms-of-Service "Rules of the Road"? Not that I see.
Of course, many employ lawyers and filings just as a scare tactic. But I believe using the courts to shut people up won't work without a clear indication of fraud and profit making by the party committing such "acts".
Anyone can file a lawsuit in America. Only the ones who have a case, resources, and the will to go all the way may win. If I were a shareholder in this company, I might be a little concerned that the corporation is going nuts over 9 postings on a message board. I mean is this how my invested dollars are being spent? Being given to some lawyer? There are thousands of potential "spadeboys" out there. Can't keep them all quiet all the time.
I leave the rest alone.
To me, it's simple freedom of speech to state our opinions on a message board and yes, thank God we still live in America! HOME OF THE FREE!

Mark Bergman now of Premier Global in Florida been calling institutional investors and Boiler ROOMS TRYING TO PUSH THIS STOCK.
WHY WOULD HE BE INVOLVED?B
At the heart of the ACCESS1FINANCIAL MARK BERGMAN story is a convicted drug dealer and con man named Regis Possino, whose name has shown up in numerous court regulatory filings and other documents as a consultant and shareholder in numerous companies. Further evidence that there might be a widespread conspiracy to defraud investors is provided by the fact that Regis Possino, a disbarred California attorney Apart from disbarment in 1984, Possino's history includes being imprisoned for one year...

I heard about spadeboy and, after looking thru the
message board, don't see anything that refutes what
he said. The CEO's panicked response, people lookin
for facts, not knowing what they're invested in,
critics being severely bashed, rumors and only rumors
of future success, and the stock price going
downhill. I wish I could sell this short, but I
guess it's not possible with an OTC BB stock, which
is what this will always be.
