I just came across this document dated for September 15, 2009.
https://www.otciq.com/otciq/ajax/showFinancialReportById.pdf?id=24223
This document deals with two issues:
1) It appears on the surface that HTDS has been demoted to Caveat Emptor status due to complaints that they have been improperly promoting their stock.
2) HTDS is applying for a new CUSIP number in order to force broker dealers to reconcile their accounts and cover any short positions that they may have.
In applying for a new CUSIP number, it appears as if HTDS will be attempting to demonstrate to Pink Sheets that they are not the ones who have been improperly promoting the stock. Instead, this action will flush out the culprits who have been naked short selling the stock. In doing so, HTDS appears to be expecting to be released from the caveat emptor status.
Please read this entire document very carefully before making any decisions regarding HTDS. Keep in mind that while the caveat emptor status may look bad initially, this became literally "the straw that broke the camel's back" and forced HTDS to apply for the new CUSIP number. In other words - the broker dealers who have been naked shorting this stock, who filed the complaint against HTDS, brought this upon themselves and now they will be exposed AS LONG AS THE INVESTORS DO NOT SELL TO THEM!
IF you sell during this temporary "down time" THEN you will help to enable the naked shorters to cover their positions as the new CUSIP is being processed AND to escape being caught in the act.
