Bob, I can't belive I am defending Hunter, but I don't think his comment questioning whether or not this might be "pump and dump" on this thread could really be considered manipulation... As a matter of fact I think you could consider it the most likely possibility. This is the unfortunate fact with penny stocks. respectfully, cAPSLOCK

>>PS I hope you realize that whatever you post here will be used against you in a court of Law! Soon!! Attempts to scare investors with scam, pump & dump, and other terms could be interpreted as attempts at stock manipulation.<< Bob, let me explain something to you so you'll get off this tangent about "court". First of all, anybody can sue anyone. It's a VERY simple process. Just think, if I wanted to, I could file a suit against you tomorrow. Wouldn't mean a friggin thing, but you would have a suit filed against you. Second, anybody can state their opinion about ANYTHING they want to on the internet. It's simply just their opinion. Freedom of Speech, 5th amendement, etc..etc.. Third, statue of limitations. Look at the dates on the suit, and look at today's date. You'll see what I'm talking about. Fourth, suit is filed in the state of Utah. Actually, the trial will have to take place in the state of Florida, since that is where the original company was incorporated. As you can see, they need to go back and make a FEW little changes. Fifth, internet communication law is vague at best. Vague in the sense that there is not much written about it because it is such a new & complex medium in communication. Here's a simple illustration for you: Is Hunter Vann my real name? How many Hunter Vanns are there in the world? Is Hunter Vann a male or female? Maybe someone has access to Hunter Vanns(if that's his real name) user i.d. & password. So, in essence, if Hunter Vann is actually a REAL person, someone could be using his name to get his/her meaning across to other threadsters. Is that happening here? Who knows! Is Bob Sturgeon REALLY Bob Sturgeon? Are you the same Bob Sturgeon that is typing on SI? Or, does someone have access to your SI account, and posting under you name? Hell, who knows! Actually nobody knows. That's why internet law is such a vague and sticky situation. Do you see what I'm getting at here? Think about it, I'm sure the lightbulb will go off in a little bit. Sixth, the most important part of filing a suit against someone is keeping it ~secret~. Or as many people like to call it, "the art of surprise." Reason being, because each defendant named in a particular suit has to be served by a "process-server". Plaintiffs can't simply send you something in the mail and tell them you're being sued. A process server HAS to be hired by the plaintiffs to actually serve the summons in PERSON! What makes you think that ANY of the defendants will actually accept the summons? All they have to do is simply deny that they are who they say they are. If the defendant denies that he is actually the person he actually is, then he don't go to court. That's why you try to keep these things quiet. How many people named in the suit are actually going to accept something in the next year or so from some total stranger that they've never met before? Well, if you don't know I'll tell ya. A big fat ZER0! As you cann see, this process is even that much more difficult when the plaintiffs don't actually know the TRUE identity of the people they're suing. See what I'm getting at? Pretty tough, huh? P.S. I also hope Hunter Vann doesn't get mad that I'm posting under his name :)
