The accused Internet users can defend themselves by arguing the messages were true, said Charles R. Merrill, an Internet law expert with the McCarter & English law firm in Newark, New Jersey. They also are likely to respond that Meyerson could have responded to the messages on the Internet if the firm thought they were inaccurate, he said.

Pretty good article.

You would think that if the Truthseeker was a liar Sarahallitex would file a lawsuit against him. From what I understand Krause has admitted being banned from the Alberta Securities Exchange. He has yet to file a press release to answer the Truthseeker questions. Maybe they can add them to a lawsuit if the Truthseeker has lied about the unscrupulous Canadians that came to our Country to rob and steal us blind. Truthseeker has much more to tell you about these con artists. Maybe you can get the questions answered and post them on this board then we can have a real meaningful discussion.

Truthseeker responds to GARRETT KRABman KRAUSE

In Garrett Krause's document, "The Truthseeker Report" posted on the Sara Halitex web site (www.saraonline.com), Mr. Krause is unable to refute any of the information that has been uncovered about SHAL. Truthseeker has seen this report and has some additional questions, that any current or prospective investor, long or short, in SHAL, should be interested in learning the answer to.

"Long before founding Sara Hallitex Corporation, I had been a private investor, investment banker and consultant operating with many investments worldwide. Through my business dealings, I met a number of global investors interested in financing and building emerging growth companies with the eventual goal of taking these companies public."

A)With what firm were you an Investment Banker?

B)Did any of these "global investors" include Mr. Larry Ryckman?

"Question #1: If this was a stock scam whereby the insiders just wanted to unload stock why did it take until October 31, 1997 to open the stock on the market?"

The answer to Mr. Krause's "Question #1" sadly can be answered only by him. However, some possible answers include the lack of finding a market maker willing to sign off on a 15c211 form and actually make a market in the stock of SHAL.

"The Wilmington Group of Companies was, and continues to be, one of the primary investors in Sara Hallitex Corporation long before the Company was even created. I previously served as Managing Director for the Wilmington Group of Companies the primary catalyst and forefront to Sara Hallitex, providing most of the early financing and organizational support for the Company during its formative stages. Wilmington Capital currently operates as the resident agent and incorporator for a number of new Nevada companies."

Mr. Krause fails to mention in his letter the involvement of Mr. Larry Ryckman in Wilmington Rexford, one of the Wilmington Companies. However, in an old press release, from June 10, 1998, Mr. Krause states "Ryckman at one time was associated with Wilmington Rexford Inc., the company's investment-banking and public-relations company, as an advisor to assist Sara in certain investment-banking objectives."

C)What were those objectives?

D)What interest does Ryckman have in Wilmington Rexford?

E)What interest does Ryckman have in the other Wilmington Companies you refer list?

F)What was Ryckman's position at Rexford?

G)Were you ever an employee of Mr. Ryckman?

H)If Wilmington was the "primary catalyst" for SHAL, and Ryckman is involved in Wilmington, is it true to say there is "no connection" between SHAL and Ryckman.

I)Where is there any disclosure of Wilmington's holdings in SHAL stock?

J)Is Wilmington not a related party?

K)Is Wilmington a greater than 5% holder of SHAL stock?

L)Of SLNN stock?

M)Of ULAB stock?

N)Of JNUS stock?

O)Is Ryckman a holder of SHAL stock?

P)Of SLNN stock?

Q)Of ULAB stock?

R)Of JNUS stock?

"Mr. Holmes Stoner, Jr. is President of Wilmington Rexford, Inc., a U.S.-based investment company that has invested in Sara Hallitex Corporation companies since 1995. Up until the middle of 1996 I was President of these companies acting on behalf of my investments and my international investor group. I resigned all positions with these companies in August of 1996. Mr. Stoner took over all day-to-day operations to represent the best interest of the shareholders of these companies and investment partnerships."

"Today, Mr. Stoner is still active in the further investment of Sara Hallitex Corporation through the Wilmington Group of Companies. The Wilmington Group has supplied capital to fuel our expansion allowing us to be in the position we are in today. Mr. Stoner now assists the Investor Relations Department of Sara Hallitex Corporation."

"I resigned from Wilmington Capital, LLC back in late 1996. After talking to the company's attorney, I learned that the new management of Wilmington Capital, LLC had not filed the 1997 or 1998 new Board of Directors notice. Consequently, my name still appears as the company contact according to the State of Nevada. Again, my resignation became effective on the books and records of the corporation on August 1996."

S)Isn't the "new management of Wilmington" the very same Holmes Stoner Jr. that works for SHAL as an IR flack?

T)Is it really conceivable that you would not remind a person you must come into contact with as frequently as Mr. Stoner, to update the LEGAL records of Wilmington?

Remember Mr. Krause, the State of Nevada documents are the LEGAL records, your own books could easily be doctored and postdated.

"Back when shareholders were asking for more information on Sara Hallitex Corporation, I asked Mr. Stoner of Wilmington Group of Companies to prepare a report giving the shareholders some facts on the Company. After supplying Mr. Stoner with pertinent information, he then issued what is now the Famous FutureVest Stock Report from Financial Stock Marketing. This report was named FutureVest after a concept that had been worked on at the time with FutureVest America, LLC. Again, I am not the owner of FutureVest Stock Report of Financial Stock Marketing, Inc., but was the original incorporator of these companies through my original position with Wilmington Capital, LLC (Nevada Registered Agent.)"

U)Was it ever disclosed in this "Stock Report" that the issuer was, at the very least, a Related Party?

V)What is the relationship between "Financial Stock Marketing" and Future Vest America LLC, which shares an address with the other Wilmington Companies, and filed to sell a large block of SHAL stock in late summer 1998?

W)Was this stock payment for the report?

X)If it was payment was this disclosed?

Y)If it was not payment, how did Future Vest America LLC, a related party, obtain the stock?

"Why have you used existing shell companies to do your SaraIPO deals? And are you planning to continue this method in the future?"

"Sara Hallitex Corporation has been successful in this arena and will continue to transact some of its SaraIPO's using this technique."

Z) Mr. Krause, why do you continue to claim that these shell deals are IPO's?

They clearly are not IPO's. An IPO, by definition is the very first (Initial) offering of stock to the public. If a vehicle is already public, as is the case in a shell, then you are not performing IPOs, you are performing reverse mergers. Statements calling them IPOs are clearly misleading.

Mr. Krause, your comparison of the SHAL shell reverse mergers to Goldman Sachs is a non-sequiter at best, and misleading at worst. SHAL and its SHELL progeny trade on the relatively unregulated OTCBB, an exchange with no reporting or asset qualification standards. Goldman Sachs (GS), on the other hand, trades on the NYSE, the most stringent of all the exchanges.

AA)How successful have the SHAL shell reverse merger's really been?

BB)Do any of them trade above their "first day" under the new ticker symbol and post-reverse-split prices?

CC)Concerning the shells, why have you not mentioned that you controlled at least one of the shells that you have reversed-merged one of your SHAL progeny into, specifically, Ice Age (OTCBB ICAG, now called Janus JNUS), which the State of Nevada records clearly show you as controlling?

DD)If this is the case, how much free trading stock did you own in this shell before the reverse-split, name-change, false "IPO"?

"THEY ARE ABLE TO PROFIT FROM OUR SHAREHOLDERS' LOSSES AND THAT IS A CRIME."

Mr. Krause, this is another of your spurious claims, short-selling is not illegal, therefore not a crime.

Truth is always a good defense. SHAL insiders don't know what the word means. The hypsters, manipulators and con artists will always come to the criminals defense with meaningless links that have nothing to do with the criminal activities of Krause and his gang. They have never debated the evidence that shows this company is but a stock rig that is being exposed for what it truly is. Canadian promoters and people that had to flea their own country like Krause has because he violated the security laws in Canada can come to our fine country and do it all over again. Where is the SEC and why do they let criminals like Garrett Krause get away with it on Wall Street? The SEC should do a full investigation into SHAL and their fake IPO's. Maybe the hypsters should take the Truthseekers posts and complain to the SEC that the Truthseeker is hurting by telling the TRUTH. Here, let me help, Truthseeker loves everyone, even you!!

SEC Division of Enforcement Complaint Center


What does the Division of Enforcement do?
The Division of Enforcement, a division of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, is charged with enforcing the federal securities laws. The Division's responsibilities include investigating possible violations of federal securities laws and recommending appropriate remedies for consideration by the Commission. The Division also works closely with criminal authorities in matters of mutual interest.
Investigations frequently concern the sale without registration of securities subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, or the misrepresentation or omission of material facts concerning securities offered for sale, whether or not registration is required. For example, it is unlawful in certain situations for someone to sell securities to you while withholding important information that could affect your investment decision, such as selling you stock in a company but not disclosing to you that the business has no existing operations or selling a stock to you for ten dollars per share when the seller knows the stock is worthless.

Other types of inquiries relate to manipulating market prices of securities; misappropriating or illegally pledging customers' funds or securities; conducting a securities business while insolvent; broker-dealers buying or selling securities from or to customers at prices not reasonably related to current market prices; and broker-dealers violating their responsibilities to treat customers fairly. A common type of investigation involves the inquiry into market fluctuations in particular stocks which do not appear to result from general market trends or from known developments affecting the issuing company.

Why Should I Submit a Complaint to the Division of Enforcement?
Possible violations of the federal securities laws come to light through the Division's own inquiries, through referrals from other divisions of the SEC, from outside sources such as the self- regulatory organizations, or by other means, including review of complaints and inquiries from people like you. In fact, inquiries and complaints from the general public are the primary sources of leads for detecting law violations in securities transactions.
If you believe that you have been defrauded by a broker-dealer, an investment adviser or any other person or entity (in which a security is involved), we want to know about it, especially if it relates to the Internet. When appropriate, the SEC can seek "disgorgement" as a remedy in certain situations, as, for example, when a scam artist has defrauded investors in a securities-related scheme. An order for disgorgement would mandate that the swindler attempt to return all or part of the money taken from victims.

Also, if you believe that any person or entity may have violated or is currently violating any of the federal securities laws, we want to know about it. Our mission is to enforce the securities laws that seek to protect investors and ensure that the securities markets are fair and honest. By telling us about any violations of the federal securities laws occurring over the Internet or anywhere else, your assistance might prevent a future victim from losing his or her life savings.

What Should I Say in My Complaint?
Though you are not required to furnish any more information than you wish, the more information we obtain the better we can investigate. Critical information are the names, addresses, phone numbers and any other biographical information of any person or entity mentioned in your complaint, and the details of any transaction or activity that you believe violates the federal securities laws.
If your complaint involves the Internet or a commercial access provider, we need to know where the activity is occurring, such as a web site address, FTP site, newsgroup or other area. Your name, an address and telephone number are optional, but we encourage you to identify yourself, especially if you are an investor, because we may have more questions for you or we may ask you to provide information or materials in your possession. For your convenience you can use our Enforcement Complaint Form as a guide for submitting your complaint.

Otherwise, you will receive a reply from us either by telephone or regular mail. We will try to respond to you as soon as possible, but you may not hear from us immediately.
You may be assured that the matter you raise will be given careful consideration in view of the Commission's overall enforcement responsibilities under the federal securities laws. It is, however, the Commission's policy to conduct its inquiries on a confidential basis. The Commission conducts its investigations in this manner to preserve the integrity of its investigative process as well as to protect persons against whom unfounded charges may be made or where the Commission determines that enforcement action is not necessary or appropriate. Subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, the exis tence or non-existence of an investigation as well as information which may be gathered thereunder is not disclosed unless made a matter of public record in proceedings brought before the Commission or in the courts.

A warning about the security of your email to us:

Although electronic mail over the Internet is used by millions to communicate each day, electronic mail on the Internet is not always secure. Thus, you may wish to communicate only basic information to us via email, and send any specific confidential or sensitive information by regular mail or with a telephone call.
