Microcap & Penny Stocks : Amazon Natural (AZNT) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Here's something interesting. I'll go into it at greater length tomorrow, but for the moment I'll offer a summary.

Mike Sylver is being questioned by Bruce Judd about the 540,000 shares of AZNT stock that were issued to Michael Zapara (or to Alexis International). Mikey admits that he had an agreement with Zapara by the terms of which AZNT would in fact give him stock as a consulting fee. Mikey claims, however, that AZNT never signed the agreement (though there IS a signature on it) and so it was invalid. He further asserts that Zapara then forged documents which he used to persuade the transfer agent to issue the stock in question.

The judge asks Judd where all this is leading. Judd replies:

21 MR. JUDD: Your Honor, again, it's offered under
22 12(4) (b)406, part of routine and practice of this particular
23 entity to go through this process to cause disruption in the
24 stock price.
25 What they do is they send and issue shares, then they

1 complain that it was issued improperly. Then they attempt
2 to persuade DTC, not even persuade, demand DTC and other
3 brokerage firms to cancel the shares, and then they sue.
4 And it is part of what this case about. This is how
5 they do business.

6 THE COURT: For that limited purpose, I will

7 receive it, Counsel.

lololol. Ain't it the truth?

Uh-oh. Mikey misbehaves:

10 THE WITNESS: Charlie? Okay. Thank you. No, no.

11 No. No.

12 MR. MONTAL: Your Honor? Your Honor?
13 THE COURT: Yes.

14 MR. MONTAL: The witness is communicating with

15 people either in the gallery or at counsel's table. And I
16 would like to object to that.
17 THE COURT: Well, I want to have none of that. If
18 there's any communication back and forth, I don't want any
19 waving of heads or anything else. And if there is, I'll ask
20 you to leave the courtroom.
21 I don't want there to be any communication directly or
22 indirectly with the witness while he's on the witness stand.
23 Is that understood?
24 MR. LANDISH: I certainly apologize, your Honor.
25 But I didn't -- if I had seen it, I would have stopped it.

1 THE COURT: Well, I think you're speaking of
2 people in the gallery, aren't you?
3 MR. MONTAL: I was watching the witness
4 communicating with people whom I did not see, but directed
5 in this way, so --
6 THE COURT: Okay. Well, I don't want any of that,
7 Mr. Sylver.
8 THE WITNESS: Yeah. But -- okay. I understand

I wonder who "Charlie" is. Anybody know?

Oh my! Here's an amusing exchange. Judd is still examining Mikey, who, it appears, has not been entirely....candid:

7 BY MR. JUDD:
8 Q. As of February -- excuse me. Let me start that a~ain.
9 As of May 21st, 1998, Fidelity Transfer Company in Utah was
10 Amazon's transfer agent, correct?
11 A. No.
12 Q. As of May 20th, 1998, Fidelity Transfer Company was the
13 transfer agent for Amazon, correct?
14 A. Correct.
15 Q. Fidelity Transfer agency had complied properly with its
16 obligations, correct?
17 A. No.
18 Q. You believed as of May 20th, 1998, that Fidelity
19 Transfer agent -- excuse me -- Fidelity Transfer Company had
20 violated its obligations to Amazon?
21 A. Yes.
22 Q. Mr. Sylver, if you'll let me know when you've had a
23 chance to look at Proposed Exhibit 19.
24 A. Okay.
25 Q. Is this a copy of an SEC filing by Amazon of an 8-K

1 dated May 22nd, 19987

2 A. That's correct.

3 MR. JUDD: Move for the admission, your Honor.
4 THE COURT: Any objection, Counsel?
5 MR. LANDISH: Again, relevance, your Honor.
6 THE COURT: What is the relevance, Counsel?
7 MR. JUDD: Number one, it's impeachment because

8 while he has said here in court under oath that as of May
9 20th, 1998, Fidelity had engaged in proprieties regarding
10 Amazon.
11 Amazon told the SEC that the only reason of a transfer
12 was convenience. I think that's impeachment number one.
13 And I think it goes to show the validity of the actions of
14 Fidelity Transfer, number two.
15 THE COURT: Okay. It will be received.
16 (Defendants' Exhibit No. 19 was received into evidence.)

Is Mikey being coached?

17 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Your Honor, he just did it

18 again. He's communicating to the gallery.

19 MR. LANDISH: First of all, we're getting an

20 announcement from somebody who's not even a member of the

21 bar. At a certain point, your Honor, I think we --

22 THE COURT: Well, if there's anybody that's

23 communicating, I'm going to ask anybody in the gallery to
24 leave the courtroom at this point. Out. Out. I'm asking
25 you to leave the courtroom.

4 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: (Indiscernible). Oh,
5 excuse me. I didn't understand.
6 MR. LANDISH: This is my legal assistant, David.
7 THE COURT: It's fine for him to stay, but I don't
8 want any head shaking or anything of that nature.
9 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: (Indiscernible).
10 MR. JUDD: May I proceed?
11 THE COURT: You may.

7 Q. Are you familiar with whether Amazon filed with the SEC
8 a form 10-KSB on November 20th, 19987
9 A. Yes. I don't know the date it was filed. I think it
10 was earlier than that.
11 Q. Is it your belief that Amazon filed with the SEC a form
12 10-KSB sometime in November, 19987
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. Is it your belief that in that form, Amazon stated to
15 the SEC that the company initiated legal action in the
16 Federal Courts in seeking the cancellation of another
17 9,740,000 shares of common stock?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. And who are the defendants in those various legal

106

1 A, No.
2 Q. So Zapara action pertains to 540,000 shares?
3 A. Yeah. I got to double check on that. Hang on. Let me
4 add something up here. Can I -- I can't write on here.

5 THE CLERK: No. Don't write on there. That's an

6 exhibit.

7 THE WITNESS: No, no. I can add up.

8 THE COURT: Give him a blank piece of paper.

9 (Colloquy not on the record.)
10 THE WITNESS: I don't believe it includes Zapara.
11 BY MR. JUDD:

12 Q. You mentioned Andy Mann, and that is 4,000,000 shares?
13 A. It's Joseph Andy Mann, Shoreline, Whitecliffe, and

14 everybody named in the lawsuit.

15 Q. It was 4,000,000 shares in this case.
16 A. 4,480,000.

12:54 P.07

107

1 the 224,000 shares.
2 A. 4,224,000 restricted shares, not -- not no reg S, just
3 totally restricted preferred shares.

4 Q. 4,224,000 shares.
5 A. Preferred shares, yeah.
6 Q. Where are the balance of the 9,740,000 shares in

7 dispute?

8 A. Well, you have 4,480,000 plus 4,220,000.
9 Q. Where's the balance of 9,740,000.

10 MR. LANDISH: And my math is off. I'm sorry.

11 BY MR. JUDD:
12 Q. I understand --

13 A. Okay. What's the difference? How many share
14 differences are you looking at, and let's see if I can
15 remember.
16 Q. I think I'm looking at a million some odd thousand
17 shares.
18 A. No, no. Well, maybe it includes Michael Zapara. I can
19 check because its -- its got to be listed of all the shares
20 of everything that -- that was illegally issued by the group
21 of Andy Mann, Charlie, and et cetera, et cetera.
22 Q. Are you contending that Andy Mann is associated with
23 Charlie?
24 A. I know Andy Mann is associated with Charlie, and we
25 intend to prove that.

2 A. Charlie Kricfalusi, the gentlemen who introduced us to

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Does Mikey ever think about what he's saying?

6 BY MR. JUDD:
7 Q. Let me go back to -- do you have before you the first
8 exhibits your counsel showed you, Exhibits l-A, i-B, and 17
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. It was your testimony that it was very important for
11 you to notify the Depository Trust Company right away
12 regarding the problem with First Concorde's security shares?
13 A. Correct.
14 Q. Do you remember from the last hearing discussing the
15 letter that you sent on May 4th, 1998, correct?
16 A. We went through that in detail.
17 Q. And so you remember sending a letter that you attached
18 as part of your most recent plea paper?
19 A. No. I remember copying a letter that Andy Mann sent me
20 to copy to show the guys in England that he had stock with a
21 certificate that we didn't know existed at the time,
22 correct. That is correct.
23 Q. So you sent the letter saying this is to inform you
24 that Amazon Natural Treasure certificate No. 2119 issued to
25 Joseph A. Mann in the amount of 2,000,000 shares is in good

12:55 P.09

109

1 standing, not subject to any hold restriction, correct?
2 A. See, that's the thing. So see, there was no
3 certificate to Joseph Andy Mann. It was First Concorde.
4 That's why I asked Andy. I says -- because that's why he
5 told me. It doesn't make a difference. It's not a real
6 certificate.
7 The guys in England need to see it, so they'll put the
8 money in. See, that's why that didn't matter because the
9 certificate was never even issued.
10 Q. so you were willing to send and sign a false statement?
11 A. We recopied what he said. There was no certificate
12 issued at all. There was no certificate. He needed -- he
13 needed that for his people. In -- on the desk, Robert
14 Qualey has a copy of the original letter that Andy Mann
15 faxed to us.
16 MR. JUDD: Move to strike.
17 THE COURT: It will be stricken.
