Quote: WizardofnothingSammy no offense but someo what you say is spot on but some of it is pure speculation. If you are such a savvy investor and knew this.. Why would you try and time a dividend on something you clearly knew wasn't going to happen. As far as washing dishes that is not true- he is working in transcor if you really need to know 🙊
Sorry, I'm not into prison lingo, what is transcor?
No one knows if a company is going to do a dividend if they just announce it on a PR newswire but do not file the proper paperwork with the agencies. Ntek made a press release before official processes went through, there is no way to verify what a company is going to do when they only advertise like that. As I said, it's simply a gamble. But this is penny shell scams mostly, not real companies that have real financials filed with the SEC.
But then again, real companies can lie too. Just not daily like shell scams do.
I lost this one. Real gamblers cut their losses and move on or try again later. Penny stocks are no different than casinos. One really can't predict the outcome.
One such is RFID.
Remember that one?
One RFID connection to gambling: some casinos embedded RFID in their casino chips.
IIRC, the brazen Bellagion chip thief was foiled in part due to the presence of an RFID chip in the chips he stole from the gaming floor.
Hopefully Aaron finds better success in his new endeavor.

Many people here would appreciate it if you actually would cut your losses and move on, as quite a few of us consider Ahigh a friend. It's gone past trolling him a while back, and though he's suspended, it was his choice as opposed to an admin action, so the member insult protection is a gray area (at least for me).
I'm being urged to nuke you for trolling. I don't think that's the right course of action, so I'm asking you to stop throwing stones. And we'll take it from there.
Thanks in advance.
This is going to get tricky convoluted where's the line? I mean there's some legitimate discussions and criticism regarding him and his company (and some praises). Other than blatant name calling its somewhat unclear what one can and can't say. Some people might actually think Ahigh knew at some point there was no chance this company would succeed. Many suspected he knew around the time he left the forum.Quote: beachbumbabsQuote: sammydvSorry, I'm not into prison lingo, what is transcore?

Heady stuff, that: reminds me of the title of an old TV show: "The Man and the Challenge."
OK, so part of his compensation package many have been a block of stock options: that is common practice.
He did not tout NTEK / NTGL stock that I recall; he often discussed it but never urged people to buy into it.
I bought a small block of stock just for the fun of it, and I made a profit when I sold it, so obviously the company did not go on a continuous downward spiral after he came on board.
By report it was a very small, shoestring type operation, a minnow in a pool swimming with sharks: a not unusual situation for high tech companies.
Aaron is a gambler: in the end he rolled dem bones and sevened out.
I doubt hubris had much to do with it.
To me it beggars belief that Hightower didn't know. If he truly didn't then that doesn't speak well of his general intelligence and that should've disqualified him from the position he was given at NTEK and then NTGL.

Isn't this something you should discuss with me in a personal message, instead of publicly. Because you're wrong on a few levels. 1.- He isn't an active member and is nuked by admin regardless if he asked or not. 2- ahigh was a public figure and employee of a corporation that is suspected of fraud and who's ceo/owner was put in prison for fraud. On any public forum on the internet that would clearly fall under the heading of on topic and basically not some forum member protection. And because my answers concerning your personal views would also not be for public consumption, and no , they would not be argumentive.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Quote: SkepticI believe he had to have known since he was also involved in the Ultracade scheme that Foley is sitting in prison for right now. NTEK was an obvious fraud before we ever even heard of Hightower. Foley's original story for NTEK was that they were producing a set-top box and he blatantly lied over and over again about how many were being produced, shipped and sold. It turned out to be a private-label clone of a Chinese box and none were ever produced beyond a handful of prototypes. Now their business model is a simple streaming app that anyone could produce.
To me it beggars belief that Hightower didn't know. If he truly didn't then that doesn't speak well of his general intelligence and that should've disqualified him from the position he was given at NTEK and then NTGL.
Great points, concise and without malice.
Great post.

Sorry but you are arguing a indefensible point. We are talking about a group of people numbering less than 6 at any one time in the same rented office. Same people every day, same office and they hung out together all the time including foley's. It's documented ahigh took shares as well.
There really is no argument about the easy proximity of ahighs situation.

I'm not asking you to stop the discussion. I'm asking you to stop the personal insults and characterizations within the discussion.
I wrote you publicly because I wanted those you're offending to see what I said as well as for you to read it. PM's don't allow that.
I disagree with your defining Ahigh as a public figure, as well. He was head of the company for maybe 2 minutes; otherwise a designer and engineer. I don't think any court of law would mistake him for the Duke of Cambridge as a public figure.

"I disagree with your defining Ahigh as a public figure" It's impossible to dismiss even 10 seconds of ahigh being a public figure. He was and is and will always be known as an employee and principal of Ntek & Ntgl.
His name is on public display at this very second. Even ahigh talked about it.
I also find it inappropriate for an admin to use a member as an example and don't appreciate your public personal comments regarding this as well. I respectfully request any more personal correspondence from admin in a PM if discussing my conduct.
Thank you for your time.

Either one can probably work for them in clerical or records. However, I'm not sure that prisoner transportation service company would or even could hire a felon/ ex-con. Closest to them would be these 2 locations.
I suppose ahigh could be a driver too. Maybe I even have the wrong company.
Nevada Southern Detention Center
2190 East Mesquite Avenue
Pahrump, NV 89060
Torrance County Correctional Center
209 County Road AO49
Estancia, NM 87016
That may be something ahigh perhaps could get into. IDK.
EDIT: And is most likely exactly the company MrV posted earlier that ahigh could be working for.
Because it sure ain't prisoner transportation.

Quote: WizardWhat is the latest with NTEK? Has the fat lady sung yet?
Yes, but not in 4K.
Nanotech Entertainment, ntek, is under water and heavily funded by known toxic investors and institutes with only stock to use as payment..In the forms of bottomless toxic convertable stock issues. Death spiral for almost 100% of penny stocks. The reverse split stock less than 2 weeks ago is already at a 60% loss.
And since I was threatened with nuking because of being outspoken about ahigh, I can't discuss any new revelations I have about ahigh.
Sorry.
But ntgl was basically a money laudering instrument for the founder/ceo of ntek while he stays in prison. So ntgl is still an active topic even though ntgl no longer has a business license in it's home state to legally operate, ntgl let it laspe without renewing. So, furry legged table video games are probably out of the question for a few years.
Quote: SkepticAhigh absolutely is a public figure. He became one the moment he accepted an officer position at a publicly-traded company. He knew full well what he was getting into and if he didn't then he wasn't qualified for the position in the first place. Easy money is all this was about.
I agree about him being a public figure. Just do a search on his name...it is very obvious...
I am not sure why one would argue that he is not a public figure when it is so obvious.
I don't think he was just in it for the easy money; I think that he was convinced he had a potential product to bring to market. He just got in bed with the wrong folks.
I wish him luck moving forward...
Quote: WizardI'd like to apologize to Aaron for the "fat lady" remark. It was meant in the spirit of humor but I think it could be taken as kicking someone when he's down. For that, I am sorry.
You actually didn't ask about ntgl or ahigh, you asked about ntek and my response included ahigh, so I don't think you needed to apologize to ahigh because of what I wrote. Your ntek question was separate from ntgl, even though they were related corporate entities.
But at this point, I wouldn't call ntgl (nanotech gaming) related any more.
I'm sorry I may have put you on the spot somehow.

Hightower became a member of the NTGL Board of Directors in Feb 2015 and was involved with NTEK publicly for several months prior during the set-top box story that turned out to be blatant fraud. Before that he worked with Foley on his Ultracade scam (for which Foley is currently sitting in prison).
At this point his only defense is that he's just too dumb to know any better. If he didn't know it's only because he didn't want to know. Because hey, easy money!

It's hard to play dumb then brag about your accomplishments.
But, the fact that they have this new product already in some stores, I liked the product, they report financials, and it was very cheap, I bought my first ever penny stock (that is how I am relating it to this thread and NTEK).
If you have a few dollars you want to invest (or more likely lose), buy some KonaRed (KRED) stock for under a nickel a share. You never know, it might go all the way up to a dime. Also, as far as I know their CEO isn't in prison.

b) we can't find a glass sun tea jar for the life of us...everything is plastic. No thanks.
I may just do some room-temperature cold brew with my loose leaf tea though. Reading on the internet, it can be done much the same as cold-brew coffee. Steep for 12-24 hours, strain out the solids, there ya go.

You want caffein, drink coffee. Maxwell House original blend from Costco is very cost efficient. I drink a cup (big cup, prolly 12oz) every morning.

Quote: DRichI tried a new coffee product lately, it is a cold bottled coffee sold in a few C-Stores and grocery stores on the west coast. I found it to be a likeable product and while reading the bottle it mentioned their stock symbol. After Googling it and reading their financial statements the company is very suspect and their previous products were sold in the "nutritional" space. Based on all of this it is a company that no one should touch with a ten foot pole.

The only thing this is related to with ntek and ntgl is it is a scam. And a hijack with spam advertising. Go look at bldv for how a scam markets a vapor product. Like vodka? Their ticker is on the bottle? They report to OTCM with their financials? Now I'm sure you're joking.
