1-900-Joe-Blow I think that baat could make money. I figure Joe spends 26 hours at Baat speaking to all that rats and thieves in this room when he should be working. Its no wonder the companies stock is going down the tube. You guys spend way too much time speaking too Joe each day on hyping the stock. He should get to work. BAAT could charge for a 900 number and become very profitable. It could save the company from going out of business by years end. Think about it. Every time the S.E.C. called Joe BAAT would make money. floyd

Hey Nagoono. Was this Joe LaStella's old girlfriend? The one charged with pandering? This was a great past post from someone that called BAAT. Is this the same Diane that was charged with Pandering? (Prostitution) Seems that Joe was a cheat then two. Subject: Re: BAAT NEWS Date: Tue, Feb 10, 1998 22:23 EST From: Pirnie Message-id: <19980211032300.WAA04645@ladder02.news.aol.com> A glaring red flag went up for me when I called the company.It seems I caught them in the middle of dinner,but the woman who answered (called herself Diane) must have been feeling chatty so we spoke for 20-25 minutes. I asked Diane if she was the secretary, she laughed and said she did almost everything.I asked if this was her and her husband's company, and she confided that it was her boyfriend's company,however, both she, and her boyfriend were married to other people. I learned that she has a terrific little boy and that she grew up in Yonkers,NY. Are you getting the picture? There was nothing professional about this conversation. Moreover,during that entire time there was NO mention of what a terrific technology Baat had or of how it would revolutionize the industry. Instead, the conversation revolved around how the stock might perform in the coming days. I told her I had already paid beaucoup tuition and could'nt afford anymore mistakes.She assured me that this stock was risky,but that "when you invest, you always take a chance". She told me her best friend had bought some shares,made "lots of money" and was out the next day. Now, you have to wonder why this "best friend" with all the inside info did'nt want to hold at least thru the completion of the "tests"! FWIW Good luck

Was Diane Salutare found guilty of pandering or not? Did BAAT hire a new book keeper yet? By Ben Sullivan, Daily News BURBANK -- A former executive at BAT International Inc. has been arrested at a hotel near the company's headquarters for allegedly running a prostitution ring out of the company's front office, company officials said Thursday. Diane Salutare, a former lingerie shop owner who has worked at BAT since January, was arrested July 30 while eating lunch at the Burbank Airport Hilton hotel across the street from BAT headquarters. Salutare, 40, was arrested by detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department's organized crime and vice division on suspicion of pandering and was later released on $25,000 bail. According to company officials, police also entered BAT offices after the arrest and removed a file from Salutare's desk but did not search the premises. In a brief interview Thursday, Salutare said only that the charges were groundless. "Nothing happened," she said. Salutare is the girlfriend of BAT founder and Chief Executive Joseph LaStella and most recently served as the company's controller. Though she left her full-time position with BAT in July, Salutare still works one day a week keeping the company's books, said LaStella, who posted her bail. Salutare acknowledged she ran a lingerie business at least in part out of BAT's office. She advertised in area newspapers for models to wear lingerie samples at parties she organized to sell the clothing. But police allege Salutare also arranged work for some of the women as prostitutes, LaStella said. Beyond confirming Salutare's arrest, police would not comment on the case. Company spokesman Bill Wason said no other employees at BAT were aware of any of the alleged activities. LaStella said he blames disgruntled former employees for leading police on a wild goose chase. "But I guess we'll find out in court," he said. Pandering carries a maximum sentence of six years in prison. Burbank-based BAT made headlines earlier this year when the engineering firm announced it had developed an internal combustion automobile engine capable of achieving more than 100 miles per gallon. The announcement sent the company's stock skyrocketing in a matter of weeks from 6 cents a share to a peak of more than $3 before falling again. That meteoric rise led to an ongoing investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition to automotive engineering, BAT announced plans this year to enter the electricity market and has also begun marketing an automotive lubricant called SuperBAT. On Aug. 19, the company plans to hold a competition between a car outfitted with its BAT technology, which spawned the intense investor interest, against a hybrid electric vehicle made by Toyota but operated by BAT to compare fuel efficiency and performance. BAT shares closed Thursday unchanged at 50 cents. Copyright 1998 Daily News Los Angeles Transmitted: 08/07/98 02:10
