Post# of 8054
just saw the news-have to digest like everybody else -having no experience w Nevada law,reorganization,stocks(until I got into this) etc-this is my 1 minute take on this since everybody wants to know
PR says they elect that the following will not apply- apparently not an unusual election for the NRS specifically allows corp to elect not to follow the following-maybe because these statutes would require acquirer of controlling interest to reveal himself- once they become sec reporting they will have to do that anyway
78.3793 could have led to a ridiculous 3 ring circus in scared ship pennyland-so its best it doesnt apply
The Florida court put unbelievable restrictions on Bobs finances requiring him to pay large fines personally etc and then prohibiting him from accessing any sources to pay those things or live on-part of a deliberate attempt by interests which control the courts-interests I've been personally fighting for 18 years-to push Bob out
and sec put draconian limitations on Bobs constitutional right to speech-applying such overbroad imo to bobs employees (CWRN and sub) and servants
so Bob and Sharon sold their controlling interest (this is the 1st I'm learning of any of these things- havent heard from bob since Sept 2012?) to somebody-allows then to live financially,regain some of their constitutional free speech rights and allows CWRN and sub more flexibility-in a manner of speaking ability to escape some of the sec draconian restrictions-so except for loss of Bob and Sharons expertise is other wise positive for the corp
the florida ruling did not prohibit bob from continuing as a consultant-so its possible bob and or sharon may continue as a paid consultant
all good people,including myself, are under unbelievable attack by the puppetmaster but cant say much else for its beyond purview of this board
Bob wasnt even required by sec action to step down as an officer but he did for the good of the corp pending sec etc resolution- resolutions which surprised everybody,even apparently violating the plea deal fashioned for probation-which would be typical for a 1st time non-violent offender-CA courts have been releasing people for lack of space and finances- jail time for the no shares issued no gain Mar 2010 promo designed to raise money to begin operations even surprised the sec informants working to help destroy CWRN
