Location
Investment
$490,000
Background
Chantal Pharmaceuticals is a Los Angeles-area cosmetic firm specializing
in anti-aging skin care products for men and women, according to its Yahoo!
Profile.
Run by Chantal Burnison, who is not, apparently, a Scientologist, the
company found itself on the wrong end of a number of lawsuits during the
1990s, mostly as a result of allegations of securities fraud and overstatement
of the company's financial performance.
The embattled company was the target of a class
action securities fraud lawsuit in December, 1996.
From the case summary:
According to a press released dated February 9, 1996, a class action
was filed alleging that Chantal mislead investors by overstating its financial
performance. The suit claims more than half of Chantal Pharmaceutical
Corp.'s revenue for the past five quarters was reported improperly. The
suit claims the Los Angeles-based company executed a fraudulent scheme
that overstated sales in the year ended June 30 by $3 million and in the
quarter ended Sept. 30 by $10 million. The suit also accuses the company
and its chief executive, Chantal Burnison, of making false statements
about its performance and financial condition.
The company was also embroiled
in a lawsuit that included auditor firm Coopers and Lybrand, amongst
others, as codefendants:
Defendants Chantal and Burnison argue that Plaintiffs' claim for securities
fraud under Securities Exchange Act § 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 must fail.
Defendants claim that Plaintiffs have no evidence of a fraudulent "ship
and return" scheme between Chantal and Stanson leading to any illegal
"insider trading" by Burnison that can form the basis for the securities
fraud claim. Defendants also argue that Plaintiffs have not established
that Chantal's 1995 financial statements were fraudulent and misleading
due to Stanson's right to return goods under the distribution agreement.
Specifically, Defendants maintain that Plaintiffs have no evidence that
any goods were "returned" for any amount of credit that is material. …
These admissions indicate that, contrary to Plaintiffs' allegations, there
is undisputed evidence that Defendant C&L did conduct significant auditing
procedures to verify the $ 3 million Stanson sale at issue.3 Nevertheless,
Plaintiffs argue that C&L should have conducted further inquiries to substantiate
their findings. However, this argument is not sufficient to defeat summary
judgment as fraud cannot be inferred simply because Defendant C&L might
have been more curious or concerned about the activity in question.
…
For the foregoing reasons, the Court hereby DENIES the Motions for
Summary Judgment brought by Chantal Pharmaceutical Corporation and Chantal
Burnison, and Stanson Marketing, Inc. and Fred Reinstein. In addition,
the Court hereby GRANTS Coopers & Lybrand's Motion for Summary Judgment.
According to its last
substantial SEC filing, Chantal had little hope of recovery as of
1998:
As of June 30, 1998, Registrant's current liabilities substantially
exceeded its current assets. Registrant continues to experience a severe
cash flow shortage and is delinquent in payment of its operating expenses.
In addition, the Registrant is currently the subject of various unsatisfied
judgments in the aggregate amount of $ 3,114,280.
Chantal also has a connection to another Scn-related company also listed
in Reed's investment profile - American Technologies Group (see below).
ATEG president Lawrence Brady served as president of the company during
the time that Chantal was facing the bulk of the lawsuits against it (a
fact not mentioned in this bio from an ATEG
SEC filing):
LAWRENCE J. BRADY: became President and a Director in March, 1997.
In December, 1997, he became Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the
Board. From 1994 until he joined the Company, Mr. Brady was an independent
consultant except for a five month period during which he served as president
of Chantal Pharmaceutical Corp. From 1991 to 1994 Mr. Brady served as
a director and founder of Capitoline International Group, Ltd., a consulting
firm. He was a Senior Vice President of Hill & Knowlton Public Affairs
Worldwide from 1987 to 1991 and Director of International Marketing for
Sanders Associates, a Lockheed subsidiary from 1985 to 1987.

In its halcyon days, while trying, apparently, to broaden its commercial options
beyond softcore vs. hardcore, Graphix
Zone entered into a partnership with Earthlink, Reed’s one successful business
venture.
PASADENA, Calif., March 25, 1996
EarthLink Network, Inc., the fastest growing privately held Internet access provider,
and Graphix Zone (NASDAQ:GZON), a leading software publisher, have announced the
launch of ExpressNet Suite, the most comprehensive Internet access package ever.
ExpressNet Suite, which retails for $49.95, includes full version software and
Internet products valued at more than $250. The CD-ROM includes free Internet
access from EarthLink, the company's Software which includes Netscape Navigator
2.0®, SurfWatch, Internet Phone, Internet Coach and a variety of cutting-edge
multimedia plug-ins and more.
Graphix Zone also bought
out CD publisher Inscape.
Graphix Zone Chairman Ron Posner was and may still be involved with Bulldog
Capital Inc.
This poor software designer found
himself playing PI when trying to track down Graphix Zone after the company
wound up with the rights to his game, “Princess Maker”:
It took some time, but eventually the deal was concluded. Intracorp licensed
the game to another company called Ignite, also known as Inscape, Graphix Zone,
and probably a few other names as well. I was in touch with some folks at that
company, and things seemed to be going well, other than they couldn't seem to
get me a reasonable picture of their logo to put in the game. I finally redrew
it myself and sent them the final disks. As it turned out, they couldn't wait
for the final version, and manufactured CDs of a much earlier, unfinished version
of the game which they handed out to random people at the E3 trade show. That
year the show was in Atlanta, so I was not attending, which was unfortunate because
if I had been there I would have known that they had fired their entire staff.
I'm not sure how it took so long for the news of Ignite's troubles to reach me,
but I went on thinking that everything was alright for some time. It wasn't until
a few months later at Anime Expo that Ron Scovil of Mixx Magazine told me what
had happened. I suddenly became very ill. After the convention, I was staying
at a friend's house in the Los Angeles area, and since Ignite was in that area,
I decided to pay them a visit. First, I found Ignite's padlocked office. Questioning
the neighbors, I determined that they had moved out at least 6 weeks ago. Fortunately,
I was able to find some information on the internet that linked Ignite to Inscape
and Graphix Zone.
Next I headed off to Inscape and Graphix Zone's headquarters in Irvine. They had
several buildings in an industrial park, but all were abandoned. The last one
I found had instructions for the mail to be delivered to another address. So I
went to that address, a mile or so away. In a building in another industrial park
marked for some other business, I finally found them. They were not too happy
to see me. The woman who seemed to be in charge accused me of harassing her secretary
and claimed to not even know about SoftEgg, as their agreement was with Intracorp.
I did get some new contact information from them before I left.

1,375,000 shares
$300,781.25
Background
Churchill was the recipient of fictitious stock purchases made by knucklerapped
trader Michael Jawitz in this
case before the SEC:
On May 25, 1995, at 10:11, a customer entered a limit order to sell 12,000
shares of Churchill Technology Inc. at $.75 per share. At 10:36, Jawitz entered
a limit order to sell 15,000 Churchill shares at $.72 per share purportedly on
behalf of Wilson-Davis, without Wilson-Davis's authorization or knowledge. At
10:44, a customer entered a second limit order to sell 12,000 shares of Churchill
at $.7343. In five trades between 10:37 and 10:45, Jawitz sold from MASH's proprietary
account a total of 12,100 Churchill shares at $.75 per share. As a result of these
later trades, MASH's trading system partially executed Jawitz's fictitious limit
order by buying 12,100 Churchill shares from Wilson-Davis at $.72 in four transactions
on May 25, 1995, between 10:37 and 10:45. These four transactions were reported
to the public, through ACT, between 10:45 and 10:48. At 10:48, Jawitz canceled
these later transactions.
It was also mentioned in this
cease and desist order against another trader, Gurban Marwan:
A. Gamal Marwan ("Marwan"), at the time of the conduct in question was
29 years old, and a resident of California.
B. Churchill Technology, Inc. is a bio-technology company. The company's securities
are penny stocks and are registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(g)
of the Exchange Act and are listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under
the symbol CHUR.
C. During the period from at least in or about August 1996 through October 1996,
Marwan offered to pay, and did pay, undisclosed compensation to person(s) whom
he believed to be registered representative(s) or registered principal(s), to
induce such registered representatives, registered principals or persons to purchase
the common stock of CHUR for the accounts of customers. For example, on or about
October 2, 1996, Marwan transferred 15,000 shares of CHUR stock to a broker-dealer
which was undisclosed compensation for previous purchases of 66,000 shares of
CHUR at prices ranging from approximately $0.16 to $0.18 per share by the broker-dealer.
Accordingly, Marwan willfully violated, and committed and caused violations of,
Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and
Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
More Churchill
tidbits from a genetics listserv:
Novon later ended up in the hands of Churchill Technology, Inc., a Buffalo,
N.Y. outfit that claimed to have invented a "revolutionary" biodegradable plastic.
But the company sank into bankruptcy in late 1996, soon after a director and major
shareholder was arrested in a stock promotion scheme. What's left of Novon was
bought last year by Churchill's former president, Robert Downie.

Jordan Pharmaceuticals is apparently in the drug business (surprise, surprise
but Reed! Thetans don’t need drugs), and issued
this recall of one of its products in May, 2000:
Elk Grove Village, IL (SafetyAlerts) - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
today reported that Jordan Pharmaceuticals Inc. is conducting a recall of Jordan
Epinephrine Injection, USP, 1:1000, 1 mg/mL, 1mL ampuls, because of subpotency
during stability testing.
This Canadian
drug company had plans to acquire Jordan Pharmaceuticals in 1998:
Bioniche Pharma
In December Bioniche announced the proposed acquisition of Jordan Pharmaceuticals
Inc., a California based distributor of injectable pharmaceutical products. This
acquisition supports our strategy to establish a strong position in the US injectables
market. Jordan’s well established distribution network in the US, combined with
the manufacturing capabilities of our FDA compliant plant in Ireland, positions
Bioniche Pharma to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities in the US.
Current combined annualized sales of Bioniche Pharma and Jordan are approximately
CDN $10 million. The acquisition will generate increased cost efficiencies and
higher gross margins and will provide Bioniche Pharma with the critical mass necessary
to pursue further acquisitions.
But according to this subsequent
newsletter, the deal didn’t go through:
Bioniche Pharma
We continue to work toward establishing a strong position in the US injectables
market. Our previously announced acquisition of Jordan Pharmaceuticals Inc. will
not be proceeding. However, we are in the final stages of negotiations with a
strategic partner to develop our US market presence by distributing our products,
and who will work with us in codeveloping new products.
BioPlexus made a $600,000 loan to Jordan Pharmaceuticals:
On September 3, 1998, the Company loaned $600,000 to Jordan Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. ("Jordan"), a California corporation, in exchange for a one-year promissory
note. On October 31, 1998, the Company converted the promissory note into 120,000
shares of Jordan Series A Preferred Stock. Pursuant to a stock option agreement
dated October 31, 1998, Jordan had a right to repurchase the shares of Series
A Preferred Stock plus any paid-in-kind shares owned by the Company (in lieu of
interest paid in cash), at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. On March 31, 1999,
Jordan exercised its option with respect to all the shares for total consideration
of $627,000.

According to this
story, Replay Networks is an online data provider with some powerful players
on its board of directors:
Palo Alto-based online television guide and data provider Replay Networks Inc.
received $8 million in venture capital from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers,
Vulcan Ventures Inc., Paul G. Allen and Tribune Co. Kleiner Perkins partner William
Hearst III joins the Replay Networks board of directors, which includes Netscape
co-founder Marc Andreessen and former Compaq senior executive Kevin Bohren.
More money for Replay and an apparent answer to the question of how
Reed found out about it:
Replay Networks Inc. announced Wednesday it received a $57 million strategic
investment from media giants Time Warner Inc., Walt Disney Co. and NBC. High-tech
luminaries Marc Andreessen, Sky Dayton and Paul Allen have also bought into the
company. The announcement comes one day after Replay's chief rival, TiVo Inc.,
announced a partnership and equity investment from America Online. And TiVo announced
last month its own who's who of media investors as backers continue to line up
behind the two chief manufacturers of "personal TV" systems.

$1,000,001
Background
Oh yeah, I remember these guys now. Weirdest business model I’d seen in
a while, in fact. Café Odyssey was a Bloomington, MN based restaurant of some
notoriety that suddenly went all gaga over the Internet, and merged with California-based
dotcom-failure-in-the-making Popmail.com, as per this 1999 news story:
Cafe Odyssey shareholders approve merger
Bloomington-based Cafe Odyssey Inc. shareholders approved the merger with Sunnyvale,
Calif.-based PopMail.com Inc. at the Aug. 19 shareholders meeting. They also approved
the name change from Cafe Odyssey Inc. to PopMail.com Inc. The transaction is
expected to be completed this quarter.
Some background originally, Café Odyssey was in the restaurant business, specializing
in “theme” dining experiences, as explained in this
article:
The company's first Cafe Odyssey restaurant (the Kenwood location remains named
Hotel Discovery) opened in May 1998 at Minneapolis' Mall of America. It offers
three theme rooms that take diners to Africa's Serengeti Plains, the ruins of
Machu Picchu in Peru and the Lost City of Atlantis. The concept is similar to
other themed eateries, such as Rainforest Cafe and Hard Rock Cafe. But King maintained
Cafe Odyssey's quieter, less intrusive atmosphere and more sophisticated menu
would differentiate Cafe Odyssey in the eyes of consumers.
The company went public in 1997 with the aim of building a nation-wide chain of
similar eateries. Then along came the internet (from same article):
King is asking Cafe Odyssey shareholders at the company's annual meeting in
Minneapolis later this month to endorse the new strategy by approving the company's
merger with Popmail.com Inc., a privately held Dallas-based company that sells
e-mail services to radio stations. Shareholders are also being asked to change
Cafe Odyssey's name to Popmail.com Inc. In addition, King has inked agreements
to acquire two other Internet commerce companies once the merger goes through.
And he's pursuing at least two additional acquisitions. Using the three new properties,
King hopes to assemble a network of millions of e-mail users who will provide
a ready market for advertisers and e-commerce vendors. "E-mail in the future is
going to be like telephone is now. Everybody's going to have multiple e-mail accounts,"
said King. "We see a large opportunity in front of us here."
Wall Street wasn’t wild about the new venture, but investors didn’t seem to mind:
The company's filings with the SEC indicate the risks associated with the strategy
are plentiful. And the company that served as Cafe Odyssey's principal underwriter
in November 1997 has indefinitely suspended its "buy" rating on Cafe Odyssey shares.
But investors seem to like King's moves. Cafe Odyssey's stock price has risen
from a low of 75 cents per share in April to $3 per share at the close of trading
on Aug. 3.
Popmail.com, alas, doesn’t appear to have been a stunning success, according
to its charts.
The stock is currently hovering at 9 cents, from a 52-week high of $7.19. Ouch.
According to its most
current profile on Yahoo!, Odyssey is no longer in the restaurant business:
PopMail.com, Inc. consists of two divisions, the restaurant division (which
has been presented as discontinued operations) and the Internet division. The
restaurant division develops, owns and operates restaurants with multiple-themed
dining rooms designed to appeal to the upscale casual dining market. PopMail has
Cafe Odyssey restaurants at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, which
opened in June 1998, and in the Denver Pavilions, which opened in March 1999.
In March 2001, the Company executed a definitive purchase agreement to sell the
net assets of the restaurant division, with closing expected to occur on or about
April 30, 2001. With the sale of the restaurant division, along with the sale
of two of its three Internet companies, the Company will focus its financial and
other resources on operating and growing PopMail Network, Inc.
From the same page, the financial summary:
PopMail.com is an online fan club marketing company that provides fan clubs
and fan club services for recording artists, sports teams, and clients in the
broadcast and entertainment industry. For the fiscal year ended 12/31/00, net
sales totaled $3 million, up from $107 thousand. Net loss from continuing operations
applicable to Common totalled $116 million, up from $22.3 million. Results reflect
a full 12 months of EnewsNotifer revenues, offset by an asset-impairment charge
and loss on asset sales.
Here’s something you don’t see everyday a news
release announcing the move from NASDAQ to OTC trading:
PopMail.com to Trade on OTC Bulletin Board
IRVING, Texas - Jan. 22, 2001--Effective immediately, PopMail.com's common stock
(POPM) will begin trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. On January 19th, the company
was notified by the Nasdaq that, although it has failed to comply with all of
the Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, it met all of the requirements for
listing on the OTC Bulletin Board.
And we know just how stringent those requirements are.

article makes it all clear:
When competitors pay out millions on catered dinners, splashy ad campaigns
and car giveaways, Shopping4Sure.com Inc. Chief Executive Bruce Martin just shrugs
his shoulders and grins. Shopping4Sure.com, the CRN E-Star in computer products
e-tailing, has taken a different approach to the market. Martin and his partner,
Chip Lacy, former chief executive of Ingram Micro Inc., are stalking the small-
and midsize-business market with good old-fashioned outbound sales calls, an attention
to customer service and a tight rein on costs.
"Our focus has always been about finding efficient ways to get businesses to try
us," Martin said. It is the same formula that helped Lacy build Ingram Micro into
a distribution powerhouse. And Martin, who was one of Lacy's right-hand men at
Ingram Micro, is counting on that distribution experience to help Shopping4Sure.com
go the distance in a market already showing signs of a shakeout.
“Chip” or Linwood Lacy was one of the founding investors of ELNK, which explains
why Reed invested in this company.

I’m not sure if it’s a great sign when the first hit on Google for your company
is a letter
of complaint from the Organization of Chinese Americans:
Icebox, Inc. - the parent company of www.icebox.com - currently runs a weekly
program on their website entitled "Mr. Wong" which features a stereotypical Chinese
American man who serves as a butler for a rich white American socialite named
Miss Pam. The portrayal of this Asian Pacific American character is stereotypical
in every way. He speaks with an unrealistic accent and has no pride, allowing
his boss to step all over him.
According to the angry Chinese Americans, Icebox’s executive team is as follows:
Steve Stanford, CEO and Co-Founder, Icebox, Inc.
Jonathan Collier, Co-Founder and Co-of Production, Icebox, Inc.
Howard Gordon, Co-Founder and Co-President of Production, Icebox, Inc.
Rob LaZebnik, Co-Founder and Co-President of Production, Icebox, Inc.
Gary Levine, President, Icebox, Inc.
Pam Brady, Creator, Mr. Wong
Kyle McCulloch, Creator, Mr. Wong
Actually, as it turns out, Icebox had a fairly impressive masthead, including
former writers and producers from the Simpsons, King of the Hill and other successful
animation projects.
Unfortunately, according to a little box on their
webpage, the site was forced to shut down in February, and is currently in
re-development mode as three of the original founders try to get it up and running
again. You can donate to Icebox through an Amazon clickie on the site’s front
page, which just seems vaguely pathetic.
Here’s a press
release on the company’s new business plan:
April 10, 2001
Icebox Plans Relaunch as a B-to-B Operation
Executives and founders of shuttered Web-animation firm Icebox Inc. plan to relaunch
the business to develop programming for other companies. The executives said they
acquired the rights to much of the content developed by Icebox, which before its
February shutdown created several series of short, cartoon episodes. The closely
held Los Angeles company, formally called Icebox 2.0 LLC, hopes to syndicate its
programs to online destinations and other media and has reached such a pact with
closely held digital-entertainment distributor Mondo Media, San Francisco. Icebox
won't maintain its entertainment Web site for consumers and will have only five
employees.

Skinmarket is a Santa Barbara-based cosmetic store targeted at teens, according
to its website. This story describes the founder’s ambition:
Entrepreneur Tony Hirsch got the idea for the store after finding 79 bottles
of nail polish lined up in his stepdaughter's medicine cabinet. He and his wife,
Patsy, developed the concept of SkinMarket, a place where the hottest cosmetics
and body care products merge with a selection of CDs and magazines geared toward
teens. The environment, they say, is more like a girl's bedroom than a store.
Teen-agers can try on 1,001 different shades of lipstick, get a makeover and then
freeze the moment with instant cameras, and drop a line to a friend with a SkinMarket
postcard.
According
to this story, Hirsch (who does not appear to be a Scientologist) was the
‘marketing maven’ who brought HMV to New York:
Hirsch, the marketing maven who brought HMV Music Ltd. to New York, opened
SkinMarket in March at the Beverly Center in California. His philosophy was simple:

Hey, it’s Brent “I’m not a Scientologist, damnit; do I have to sue you
into the dust to prove it?” Luckman, formerly of Luckman Interactive.
A former employee made allegations that staff were forced to attend Scientology
courses by the company, and Luckman itself was sued by Canadian securities firm
Yorkton Securities over claims that Brent Luckman had mismanaged funds, including
donating
large amounts of money to the Church of Scientology:
...Forced Company employees to attend Church of Scientology seminars paid for
and held at the Company during business hours. Attendance at such seminars has
not only interfered with the employees working on Company business but also seriously
damaged employee morale;
Brent Luckman has threatened to sue various individuals for libel for referring
to him as a Scientologist. According to this
letter, from his Canadian law firm, Luckman claims not to have been associated
with Scientology for several years:
However, the LA Times (April 15, 1997) published a lengthy
article detailing allegations from several former employees who suggested
that Luckman had, indeed, tried to pressure them to join the church:
Dozens of former company employees have gone several months without being paid.
Creditors have filed suit. And one major backer of the firm alleges in a lawsuit
that the company and its founder and chairman, Canadian-born Brent Luckman, have
squandered nearly $1 million in company assets on first-class airline tickets,
home stereo systems and donations to the Church of Scientology. Luckman, 38, insists
that despite the company's current financial and legal troubles, Luckman Interactive
is poised to ride the Internet boom to a big financial payoff. 'We've got a great
future ahead of us,' says the charming, charismatic Luckman. 'High tech is the
kind of thing where I've never had a shortage of ideas.'
"Employees say their troubles began with a company wide 'staff training and enhancement
day' at the Church of Scientology's Celebrity Center in Hollywood, organized by
Luckman himself. The purpose of the meeting, according to an Aug. 10 memo, was
to reward employees for several months of rapid expansion and prepare the group
for an 'upcoming expansion' by reviewing new management techniques that would
be instituted at Luckman. 'I strongly urge you to attend,' the memo concluded.
