AZNT SUPPOSED EXCLUSIVE LICENSE. BMart you have said the following (among many other outrageous things):But the real reason , supposedly, that Monsanto lost interest in Stevia was because of Dr. Lorrichio's exclusive right to export stevia from Brazil . #reply-57012593) Monsanto could not export stevia from Brazil because of Dr. Lorrichio's exclusive right to export stevia from Brazil. My understanding is Monsanto's interest was a joint venture with AZNT. #reply-5704649 But what has the company said about these things?Company receives import license Amazon Natural Treasures has secured a license from Brazil to import its products into the United States . The products include nutritional supplements for people suffering from high cholesterol, hypertension, obesity, cellulite, diabetes, migraines, insomnia, ingestion, anxiety and toxicity. The product line includes antioxidants, nail hardeners, diuretics, energizers, antacids, wrinkle removers and hair and skin products. In addition, Amazon has developed a natural sweetener to compete against Equal and Sweet and Low and a chewing gum that whitens teeth, is safe for diabetics and lessens the need for regular tooth brushing. lvrj.com "Amazon Natural Treasurers Gains Export Ok , Dec. '97, p.2" naturalbiz.com These are hardly claims of exclusivity. Funny how the company in its own public statements makes no such claim. It seems that they let you front run this issue for them and make this claim on their behalf. As you say you are only a shareholder, and we should rely on the statements of the company. On this basis you should be careful not to continue to make this misrepresentation. The company has not said this. Since you cannot supply any quote from any document claiming such an exclusive arrangement, your continued misrepresentation of this is a clear demonstration of your intent to mislead investors through public statements . May the gods assign you a gentle cellmate if you are found to have a compensation arrangement with AZNT or Michael Sylver. Good luck.
