RTI Publishers Notice
Got an option call for $6000 today. That means, basically, a request for $6000 from the bank at their option (discretion). So if I seem in a bad mood... I am. Because this means we have to stop helping people for free and immediately raise liquid capital unexpectedly.
When this happens I get a lot more serious, less wordy, and more billable-hour-oriented. Which usually makes people accustom to my idle (research and political comments) nervous - because they don't understand the "cause" or how it is "external" and outside my control.
Basically, my leeway to go easy on people that owe me money ends. I must turn those persons who are unpaid or pro bono without cause upside down and shake them a little. Which is not pleasant for me or for them. Some even take the process personally.
To very simple (hostile) observers, the change in attitude is mistaken for some emotional direction change. That's simply not true. It's just business. And not everyone is well versed in the subtlety of it to know or ask "why" or simply understand the cycles of selling versus pure R&D roles that I frequently "trade hats" in. Nor real (small business) pressure to sell and close deals on the spur of the moment.
A handshake also does not cut it, when we are talking about $5000 or more (or $1 million liability or equity rider). At which point command of the language and my "wordy tone" become quite relevant and key.
No one looks down on people who loath this. Unless they "jump up and try to chastise me for using big words with little slurs". Then I do take offense, because my paw is tired of slapping them down, and the malice they imagine behind it is hardly real. Just necessary force.
We tried to capitalize with a registered security sale in 2009 Oct, but attacks by regional academic staff destroyed that and the jobs it would have created - also resulting in their loss of employment after our formal complaint re: multi-state series of baseless threats against our staff and tradenames (academic whining, in felony criminal remarks exposing gross criminal incompetence among PhD level programs).
I reached out to the local business community in 2010, but again public replies from college students were harsh (threats, insults without provocation, and abusive conduct unbecoming a secure or safe environment near ECU) - including involvement of my accused stalker (Interstate, Federal felony complaint). A physical assault in May 2010 actually drove me to abandon Ada OK as a viable public without inceased public security measures.
INVESTOR RESPONSE TO DEFAMATION
Attacks typically consisted of resentment, drunken behavior prior violence, and direct slurs and threats against my children (related the Federal felony criminal complaint in child kidnapping still pending). With a minimum $10,000 ask, there were not many qualified investors. While we looked into secondmarket.com the impact on staffing (equity level talent) deterred us from a formal offer at this time via that broker. Our expectation was to increase P&L in 2010 and 2011, prior a private offer (1000 shares, voting).
However, investors have been rattled by 2010 Federal tax and healthcare issues, coupled with community publicity and intimidation, and capped off with their discovery of liability related the budget crisis which is influenced by property and lending tax matters. The net result is a reversal on promises and commitments wherein we are again (frequently) forced to shift our focus from software development to sales and service in fundraising capacity to remain liquid. With costs of $100,000 per year and property taxes on $500,000 in estates and machinery (idle due to interference), the focus of this disruption rates in the hundreds of thousands in damages. Interest on $800,000 in financial instruments alone is a huge ticking clock, and the decline in U.S. Dollar value versus Australian Dollar and Euro also directly affects our creditors.
As a result, we are in a position to now consider at least $1 million USD in sales as a viable goal to operate - as well as no less than $2 million in capital for any serious investment round (private). All of which just infuriates the kidnappers and competitors who see 100% of those funds and outlays as "their fair share" for kidnapping my son.
I do not talk about it in depth, because I don't want to lord any of it over anyone or imply by this I live on more than a few dollars every month. Sometimes eating popcorn once or twice a day and calling that a "meal" since 2008 (onset of vile atacks and character slurs). I do not get paid for this (above or relevant minimum wage).
I do this out of obligation to my investors, shareholders, and workers who put their time into this high-risk business on good faith - and should have profited had criminal activity not been regarded as "social justice" in Oklahoma and by neglect of Oklahoma and Texas officers.
Now I am seeking clients and/or a 3rd job (CEO, CEO, ???) to pay the bills so that the equity of those investments is not liquidated at significant loss due to the latest "flip" of a promise of capital backing, and contrary demand now issued without sufficient notice.
This is my life. It shouldn't be this hard. But with a multi-state criminal racketeering conspiracy trying to tear me down and denigrate me, it seems only fair I tell someone. So they understand my responsibility is not "selfish" in nature or any other lie used to justify abuse and injury now popular in our culture-of-crisis and collectivism.
