*** ABFG Summary of Red Flags

"... if someone [Director of IR and formerly just plain shareholder], Kelly Kellner, former has -- at least -- half a million bucks to plunk down on a penny stock, doesn't it strike you as funny he'd drop his apparently successful career to answer phones 8 hours a day?"

Here we learn ABFG is located on the Maggott Mile in Boca Raton, Florida:

ABFG pays Market Pulse to write about them:
#reply-8758098

"former managing director [and current director of ABFG] in Madagascar, Dror Moradov, may have been inappropriately or fraudulently used for purposes unknown at this time"

Sklar's attempt to use Trump Oil to take over Fenway is nixed by the BCSC because of the involvement of "individuals who had been penalized for illegal deals in the past".

Gerald Sklar was secretary and treasurer of Tri Kal Resorts
#reply-8798594

"Also, do you get the feeling the float has been increasing rapidly over the last few months, or did ABFG misinform investors?"
#reply-8819145

ABFG (shockingly) tells an investor that it's a "coincidence" that Sklar and Moradov at ABFG have the same names as the Sklar and Moradov who have run afoul of Canadian securities organizations.
#reply-8833608

Conclusive proof someone is trying to cover up Sklar and Moradov's shady past:
#reply-8835218

The smoking gun on Sklar: "A few weeks later Riosun disclosed it agreed not to allow "the acceptable individuals identified by the VSE" to be involved with the company. This pair of undesirables, whose identities were never officially disclosed, were Lucky Janda and Gerald Sklar."
#reply-8844846

'From this we may conclude ABFG gave six million shares (post split) to Dror Moradov, a director. That's $6,000,000 US given to an insider for property on which the company says (later in the press release) they haven't even purchased "mining equipment to perform feasibility tests which will assist in determining the economic viability of the perimeters"!'
#reply-8845224

Sklar and Intercontinental Ventures: "...in May 1989, the commission found the news releases to be false and misleading.... Later, after he knew the information was false, he failed to act honestly... Sklar is also prohibited from acting as a director or officer of a public company for three years and will be required to pay costs of the hearing."
#reply-8901886

Slar and Manticore/Dexx: "The company also reports that effective March 23 1989, it has accepted the resignations of David M.D. Young, Gerald E. Sklar and Richie B. Love as directors of the company."
#reply-8903408

Skalr and Riosun: "Further to the VSE notice dated February 27 1997, the company will be suspended from trading effective at the close of trading March 7 1997. The exchange's review of the company's activities continues. Issues of concern include the involvement of certain individuals in the affairs of the company. "

The White House or the Hen House: "So, we've got Bill and Al, then only Al, then an endorsement from Al, then maybe not; then dinner and a speech, then dinner or a speech, then just a meeting; then the topic is internet, then mining, then both or maybe not; then the team is going to Israel or maybe back home. Looks like IR can't keep their story straight. Of course considering there was no dinner or speech scheduled last night at the White House this will be very hard to do ;^). But I'm sure they'll think of something entertaining!
