SOUTHFIELD, Mich., July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Halberd Corporation (OTC Market: HALB) Halberd Corporation responds to the false press release issued by the plaintiffs (in three separate causes of action), including Marvin Katz and his companies, and Stephen Wilshinsky, his company and his mother. As a part of these plaintiffs' misleading financial claims, they are suing Halberd Corporation and the defendants for refusing to violate the law. Despite the plaintiffs' false claims, there has been no determination of liability. Indeed, the plaintiffs have lost every single motion in these cases which has a ruling. The California cases are as follows: CV 13-01412 BRO and 2:12-cv-10041 FMO (FFMx); the Nevada Case No. is A-14-697936-P. Each suit is frivolous. And Halberd Corporation will continue to vigorously defend each suit.
Halberd will not cower to these plaintiffs' acts of misleading financial claims.
Plaintiffs boldly seek $324,000 damages and 10,800,000 shares of Halberd common stock, for $400 allegedly paid for the shares. And Plaintiffs' own counsel, Kenneth Eade, admitted that the $400 was not paid by the plaintiffs, and not even paid to Halberd Corporation. Plaintiffs seek to take over Halberd Corporation. This frivolous initiative was specifically stated in their separate lawsuit filed in Nevada, A-14-697936-P - In the Matter of the Petition of SMSW Enterprises LLC, against Halberd Corporation.
Perhaps even more importantly, however, without such proof of payment, it would be illegal for the Defendants to participate in the removal of the restrictive legend on the securities – to do so would violate Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, which prohibits the removal of the restrictive legend from the shares at issue, and defendants' counsel has advised that it would be a criminal violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, concerning the sale of unregistered securities, for the Defendants to participate in such an action.
The SEC ruled that: "The relevant holding period [6 months or 12 months] begins when the securities were bought and fully paid for." See http://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/rule144.htm. Yet, without payment for the securities, by Mr. Katz and his companies, let alone payments to Halberd, that holding period never commenced.
Halberd Corporation is a Holding Company and Incubator for early stage high growth businesses. They are located in Southfield, Michigan. Halberd Corporation trades on the OTC Market under the ticker symbol HALB.
