Pertinent Information
This message is issued to those of you who may have questions about the viability and validity of Original Media, Inc. (OMDA). Please be advised that OMDA is currently being represented by counsel to resolve any and all issues pertaining to the Company's registration and status with the State of Delaware. As previous posts indicated, the Company was in default for failing to keep current with filing fees and franchise fees with the State of Delaware. However, this matter will be resolved shortly as this office has been, and continues to be in contact with Delaware's Secretary of State to ensure proper registration and filing of corporate documents.
On a related note, there is currently a rumour circulating that OMDA is filing for bankruptcy. This rumour is entirely false, and those responsible for spreading such mis-truths will be held accountable. In addition, several members of this Bulletin Board have been spreading libelous statements with the knowledge of its falsity and with the intent to cause the Company and it's Officers and Directors harm. Rest assured that those responsible will be held accountable.
When reviewing the negative posts made against the Company, please keep in mind that there are people out there who do not share the same desire to see the Company prosper. There are individuals and institutions who stand to make a great deal of money with the decline of the Company's stock price. Ask yourself the question "Why would someone spend such a great deal of time trashing a Company in which they supposedly have money invested?" Would you yourself post negative comments about a company that you had your hard earned cash invested in? Do not believe everything you read.
As the situation progresses, I will provide additional information regarding the Company and the Company's activities. Please be advised that information gathered here is not a substitute for due diligence performed on the part of the potential investor. Be on the lookout for positive press releases regarding the Company and the Company's current Oil Exploration activities.
DISCLAIMER: THIS MESSAGE IS NOT AN OFFER OF SOLICITATION TO BUY, SELL OR HOLD THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES. ALL MATTERS PRESENTED ABOVE ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU RESEARCH THE COMPANY BEFORE MAKING A DECISION AS TO YOUR POSITION WITH THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES.

If you're really OMDA's counsel, I think you'd do well to offer full identification. You know: your name, name of your law firm, that stuff.
Otherwise, you'll look no better than the anonymous "bashers" you say you despise.
Don't bother to thank me.

hey omdaesgIDIOT.
How about addressing the fact that they have yet to show that they can generate ANY revenue. Doing business means at least ATTEMPTING to make money, not just spend time fighting rbull people
As far as someone holding shares bought with their hard earned money let me just say, you shouldn't be concerned about those you refer to that just want to see the company disappear. How about those that have been told promise after promise about company developments just to see NOTHING come to fruition to where it generates revenue and shareholder value but rather see their holdings drop in value nearly 99%. Are you a complete idiot? People get screwed on their investment are not going to sit here and post how much they love you but how upset they are at the failure to perform. Of course, there are some brainless wonders that continue to say nonsense like warre, sharon, tapemach, etc. Nothing personal, but they have no ability to think clearly to follow such a failure.

OMDAESQ
Still waiting to hear the OS to date. I don't want to throw a wrench in things but you can not sell shares and then register them, it has to be done the other way around.
Why would someone who invested hard earned money bad mouth the stock? Well it is down over %80 from the time I bought, plus there are an additional 9.5 billion shares ready for sale, or is it protection? I was told numerous times that there would be no further dilution.
If the proper documentation was filed on time, why don't you put copies of all those amendments on OMDA website. You do have copies right? You did state that these documents were filed but not accepted correct? We'll that would be a good faith way to start and show that the company did at least try to follow the requirments of the DE Coporate law.

Also OMDAESQ,
Why don't you explain to us shareholders how in the audited financials on OMDA's homepage before void status in DE it states some 38 million preferred shares are authorized. Over 2 million preferred were issued to related parties in 2000 alone well above the number legally authorized by the State of DE. Remember no BS right?

However, I do believe, if that is the case, you have just disqualified and implicated YOURSELF in the OMDA operation!!!
You post a disclaimer yet you tell the board to "be on the lookout for "positive" news". Nothing could be more insider hype than that!!! How do you know and why that suggestion by the attorney???
I think you have exposed yourself.

You wrote: "As previous posts indicated, the Company was in default for failing to keep current with filing fees and franchise fees with the State of Delaware."
As an OMDA shareholder, this concerns me. This is first and foremost important to a public company that failing to keep current with filing fees and franchise fees with the State of Delaware be important! It is only through the research of other shareholders that we even are aware of this situation. Management failed to disclose this information to us voluntarily.
You also further wrote: "On a related note, there is currently a rumour circulating that OMDA is filing for bankruptcy. This rumour is entirely false, and those responsible for spreading such mis-truths will be held accountable. In addition, several members of this Bulletin Board have been spreading libelous statements with the knowledge of its falsity and with the intent to cause the Company and it's Officers and Directors harm. Rest assured that those responsible will be held accountable."
I fail to understand the addition of this statement in the same post that tells us the Company was in fact, in default with the State of Delaware, after this fact was disclosed right here on the message board by a shareholder and NOT MANAGEMENT! I read this message board frequently and I have not read any rumors of bankruptcy. What post(s) are you referring to?
If your post, here, is supposed to make the shareholders feel secure, I think you have missed the target...at least with me. My broker account statement says the shares I owe have no value. That is the bottom line with me.
If you are the attorney, representing the Company, thank you very much for the professional manner in which you first introduced yourself to the shareholders who believed in the Company enough to invest our personal money in a company who has been in default with its incorporating State. Rest assured, we shareholders now know where "we" stand with the Company. I hope your retainer fee is paid in advance.

TO ALL OMDA SHAREHOLDERS:
Original Media cannot sell ten billion unauthorized shares over a period of years because of failing to file any amendments to its articles of incorporation with the State of Delaware, then make that crime go away by paying long-past-due franchise taxes now and filing an amendment now. All unauthorized shares sold illegally are still unauthorized and illegal. Probably all the shares you bought as an investor are unauthorized and worthless for that reason. This is a classic justification for the filing of a shareholders' class-action lawsuit against the officers, board of directors, directors, and management of Original Media as individuals. Because of the void status of the corporation, these individuals are not protected by any corporate shield. Their personal assets are exposed.
I might add that if "omdaesq" is an attorney, we seem to have evidence that the kind of attorneys the Lanzas hire do their best work when they post anonymously on an investment message board in the middle of the night.

OMDAESQ-You did not identify yourself. That alone makes your post suspect. You could be anyone for all we know.
How about it, identify yourself.
Now, if you are in fact OMDA's legal counsel, how did they default on their corporate charter?
Also, as OMDA's legal counsel, are you qualified to comment on the company's viability? That should be left to the CFO.

OMDA
Things are looking good. Hopefully this Corsicana well will come through, maybe 100b/day. That would be nice. It is my understanding that the fracking(?) job is supposed to take place as early as Wednesday. However, the weather in these parts has not been very good. We have had lots of rain and very cold weather.
I do not know who posted last night under OMDAesq but it certainly seemed legit. I do not know. In speaking with OMDA over a week ago, there was an attorney in the room who introducted himself to me. I cannot recall his name. I believe he was from Seattle and he was hired to deal with those who are guilty of libel, etc. Apparently he has some exp. in this field.
As to why and when he posted, I don't think it matters. If he would have posted during normal business hours the bashers and part-time investigators here would have complained - "if he is truly OMDA's attorney, why is he wasting time posting when he should be working?" On it goes!
I am confident that any of the problems in DE will be cleared up very soon. Then the board will switch back to some other area.
I did read Boston's post about the class actin law suit - I have heard that in the past. If fact, I believe it was Sharon that first mentioned that to me. If there is so much overwhelming evidence of OMDA's evil, illegal activities then why hasn't this happened already?
Time will tell; however, one thing I do know OMDA continues to work and produce OIL
Good Day.

I wonder has it occurred to you that when people get ripped off they get real ticked off? They decide that they want to see justice done and they hound the perpetrators into the light where they can get stepped on like the disgusting bugs they are thought to be?
Or do you have some sinister conspiracy theory to explain Joe Lanza's trail in the public record?

Are you sure you are an attorney? I think that's a very un-lawyerly thing to be saying promoting the business of your client. Why would you create exposure like that for yourself?
Or are you merely Joe Lanza pretending to be an attorney?
"Do not believe everything you read. "

" Please be advised that OMDA is currently being represented by counsel ..."
Note that the poster "OMDAesq" does not say in his post that he is in fact counsel for OMDA. Heaven knows that OMDA must have counsel. That's hardly a news flash.
"However, this matter will be resolved shortly as this office has been, and continues to be in contact with Delaware's Secretary of State to ensure proper registration and filing of corporate documents. "
I suppose that this "office" could be the "home office" and possibly means then it is Joe Lanza doing a careful tap dance not saying he is an attorney but leaving the impression that he is. Bluster by the wounded bull to strike fear in the wolves circling on the carcass. If so Joe I don't think anyone is buying your act any more. It's looking like chow time. The question is will chow be at Nellis this time or somewhere else a little less hospitable?
