<<John H. Beebe Blog siliconinvestor.com Posted by: JHBEEBE Date: Saturday, July 14, 2007 6:54:39 PM In reply to: serfdom who wrote msg# 35 Post # of 171 No problem. The fact that some claim that I am somehow to be prohibited from speaking, even in my PERSONAL capacity, and that I am a "loose cannon, nut case" if I do because my profession is a CEO torqued me way off. I will admit it. >> He got this bent out of shape due to MB postings about him and PHGI as well as his inability to post on the MB's?? Doesn't he have a business to run? Yet he is getting all in a tizzy over MB's? LOL..Yep, this guy is the right guy at the helm of a ship....Maybe the titanic anyway......Legit companies do not worry about posting on MB's or what others post on MB's. LEGIT companies know that their business plan, if successful, will take care of itself. If they do well and perform well then all is well imo....When companies and their ceo's start posting on MB's or put out PR's concerning legal action against MB posters is a very good sign to sell and run away very fast....or short the stock if it is legal to do so.....The day I saw JB post on the MB's is the day I KNEW this was not legit. <<I do care and I am very passionate. I care enough to fight for what I believe in. I have enough passion for what I believe in to stand toe to toe with those who are against us everyday for the rest of my life. >> Glad he has the passion to fight...with his growing legal issues, that passion may come in handy, although I dont think it will change the outcome..... <<I have already forwarded all of this and people's posts about me to my primary legal Counsel, David L. McGee about this. David is a former United States Attorney and headed the US Dept of Justice's "Strike Force". >> Bla bla bla.....His attorney has his hands full defending HIM and when a CEO starts talking about suing MB posters..well, that is another huge sign to SELL or short if it is legal to do so.... <<I promise you this, I will fight this one all of the way to the US Supreme Court if I have to. It is the principle of the matter. The US Constitution stands and we are Free like our Founding Fathers intended. Period.>> He promises?? LOL....This guy has promised quite a bit...has he delivered on any of these promises as he diluted PHGI to death and watched it fall to .0001? What promises has he delivered on? <<I am open to thoughts and comments about following appropriate disclosures and guidelines as to distinguish me from my professional capacity. I feel I have clearly tried to do so. Maybe I can do a better job at that, and I am open to suggestions. >> Here is a suggestion for ya JB....Stop scamming/conning people and as far as if you can do a better job?? My dog could run a public company better they you IMO..at least my dog is honest and cant speak...and speaking is not a JB strongpoint...he opens his mouth and all that comes out is hot air and broken promises....My dog is far to kind and gentle to scam shareholders as JB has imo. <<I hold my professional responsibilities as sacred. I do not wish to detract from any company I am involved with. I will fully honor all laws and the spirit of them.>> Too funny.....Sacred?? Doesnt want to detract??...LOL...The only part I agree with is that he will fully honor the law, but that will not be by his choice..it will be court ordered...JB will not take responsibility on his own IMO..he hasnt yet....that is why he is now in court and the legal issues will likely only keep growing for him IMO..... <<However, I am a Person first and foremost, and I will not back down from a Personal capacity with respect to what are my God given Constitutional rights. I am not asking you all to agree, I am telling you I will stand for what I believe in.>> And good luck....something tells me a judge/jury will see right thru his B.S. <<Those of you who know me know that this is not a promise but a fact.>> Those that know him likely wish they had never heard of him as all he has delivered is broken promises and MASSIVE losses... <<https://www.siliconinvestor.com/nfvda/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=21239341 Posted by: IH Admin [Matt] Date: Sunday, July 15, 2007 6:47:38 PM In reply to: JHBEEBE who wrote msg# 82 Post # of 171 I just got done removing all the crap out of my inbox that you wrote to me this weekend. You're a fricken whacktard, dude. Just so it's clear why I removed your other boards. One isn't publicly traded yet. The other was set up to attack users on this site. The only reason I'm letting this one slide (for now) is because it now reflects just your name AND it's in a premium category. I'd suggest you take your bat and ball and find a new park to play in. siliconinvestor.com; All time classic response from Matt...something tells me the judge will be a bit more strict then Matt and likely send him to a far harsher sandbox to play in......I hope so anyway...I've seen these scammy ceos walk away scott free too many times..I am really hoping they make an example out of JB and if the courts dont....I see many suits being filed against him personally and the company..he simply screwed far too many people and they are drooling for a chance to see he gets what he deserves imo.......I hope it happens.....

Mr. Miller said the telemarketers involved in the underlying schemes that drew the attention of investigators included Rockwell Holdings, Inc., Hartford Auto Club, Premium Mega Saver, and Capital First Benefits. He said that many of the fraudulent telemarketers worked through an intermediary called a "third party processor," namely, Global eTelecom, Inc. ("GETI"). FIRST PREMIER: Agrees To Set Measures Against Fraudulent Schemes ---------------------------------------------------------------- A South Dakota bank that processed electronic withdrawals from the bank accounts of Iowa victims of telemarketing schemes has agreed to adopt a set of proactive measures designed to screen out such operations and prevent facilitating fraudulent schemes, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller said in a statement. "We are very pleased that First PREMIER Bank of Sioux Falls, SD, has agreed to take many positive steps to avoid processing withdrawals for fraudulent schemes -- scams such as illegal and deceptive telemarketing of credit cards for advance fees," Mr. Miller said. "First PREMIER has agreed to screen potential clients in advance, monitor their practices, investigate warning signs, and stop processing for clients that appear to be deceiving consumers," he said. "We appreciate the Bank's leadership." The agreement is in the form of an "Assurance of Voluntary Compliance" between the Bank and Miller's office. "In recent years telemarketing boiler-rooms operating out of the U.S. and Canada have increasingly used automatic withdrawals to get victims' money. Many schemes count on U.S. banks to gain entry to the system for making these withdrawals. Active monitoring by banks makes it harder for telemarketing con- artists, and that's an important development," Mr. Miller said. "In our view, the law requires banks NOT to assist any telemarketer when the bank knows or should have known that the telemarketer is engaged in fraudulent conduct." Mr. Miller said his Consumer Protection Division worked jointly with the offices of the Minnesota and South Dakota Attorneys General in reaching the accord with First PREMIER. All three offices entered the same agreement with First PREMIER Bank. The Iowa and Minnesota Attorneys General initially contacted the bank in 2002 in connection with efforts to investigate the complaints of telemarketing fraud victims who had money extracted from their bank accounts. The agreement announced Wednesday also involved a total payment of $200,000 by the bank to be divided among the three states. The funds will be used to help cover costs of the investigation and consumer and industry education. "Services provided by the bank to fraudulent operators created problems for consumers," Mr. Miller said, "but now the bank is part of the solution. We hope other banks and other participants in the ACH system - the network designed to allow for electronic withdrawals from bank accounts - will follow First PREMIER's lead in cracking down on schemes that victimize consumers." Under the agreement, First PREMIER will investigate would-be clients before granting them access to the automated withdrawal network. Once a pre-screened business is granted access, First PREMIER will monitor the business's activities and cut off ACH processing services if the business develops a high rate of returned transactions or generates complaints that suggest fraud. First PREMIER also agreed not to provide services to operations selling credit cards or offering loans for an advance fee. Mr. Miller said the telemarketers involved in the underlying schemes that drew the attention of investigators included Rockwell Holdings, Inc., Hartford Auto Club, Premium Mega Saver, and Capital First Benefits. He said that many of the fraudulent telemarketers worked through an intermediary called a "third party processor," namely, Global eTelecom, Inc. ("GETI"). First PREMIER Bank was not directly involved with any telemarketing misconduct and assisted the Federal Trade Commission in connection with its investigation and prosecution of the telemarketers. Through the controls in place at the time, First PREMIER Bank identified the problem companies and ultimately stopped processing ACH transactions for them. The Bank responded to inquiries from the Attorneys General offices regarding the Bank's processing of the ACH transactions for the telemarketers in question.
