An RMN reader sent me this today in a message through the Evolved Influence contact form:

Subject: Knucklehead

You CANNOT ask people to "invest" without a Prospectus, a private placement contract, a way to collect AND a way to make sure your "investor" is an "accredited investor".

Do you even know what you are saying???

DO YOU WANT TO GET ARRESTED BY THE FTC FOR FRAUD ??? (no statute of limitations)

Where is your paypal buttons? Where is your GoFundMe link?

Where is your Tiktok channel? Youtube channel? Why aren't you live streaming 5 hours a day and taking phone calls while exposing all the fake colloidal silver videos?

You sound like a con man even though you have a good product.

You ignored my previous message on RMN on what to do.

So try this...

Do a Kickstarter Campaign.

Contact these people

https://www.launchboom.com/expert

They have a Youtube channel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_h3RVqfOsc

They only get paid if the campaign is a success

And PLEASE go to WSODownloads.IN, pay the $25 for the lifetime membership, download the courses and start learning marketing.

Authority, Branding, Funnels, SEO, Instagram, Tiktok shops, Youtube, AI Content Creation, etc, etc

And buy services from the vendors on BlackHatWorld.com. At least an SEO indexing package for all the articles you need to write using ChatGPT

Get to work.

THEN ask for donations on Kickstarter

Here’s the response I wrote, which I’m just posting here for all to see (I’ll send him a link to this post):

Dave,

I very much appreciate your caring enough to take the time to share your clearly well-intended advice.

However, I assume we’ve never spoken, and you're making a knee-jerk assessment without having done the normal high-level business step of getting well-informed without prejudgment, so you can then make informed assessments from there and maybe offer advice in context.

I don’t really have time to debate in an information and communication vacuum, but out of courtesy to you for your effort, let me just share this much:

After the first few months of college, a professor told me to leave because academia would hold me back and to follow my passion and find my mentors in the real world.

Months later, I had the head of the entrepreneurial department at Harvard University as a mentor and on my Board of Advisors.

Soon after, I had the same attorney and accountant as Steven Jobs of Apple. That accountant is the one who created the “Confidential Private Placement Memorandum” model that’s still used today.

I teach attorneys in the space of FDA/FTC law about the very dangerous and delicate area of not making disease claims when selling a product that’s formally classified as a dietary supplement. (Thank our barbaric socioeconomic culture that let the pharma/vax mafia capture the government and make it illegal for good people like me to honestly report on the experiences of countless customers. Nice!)

You’ve apparently completely overlooked this vital issue. That is where the risk is, not in securities law, since I’ve defrauded nobody. I have not had a single issue with anyone in 25 years in business. Just a stellar, impeccable reputation. I have a list of very strong references to keep someone busy for a month.

My investor presentation explicitly states it’s for accredited investors only. The Convertible Note & Warrant structure is the most advanced and common in venture capital for early stage. The attorney is one of the top in Silicon Valley.

Smaller investors who may not be accredited are on a personal relationship basis after an intimate rapport and fall into the friends and family category. The remedy if there’s an issue is to give them back their money, which nobody has requested.

Crowdfunding would be a quagmire and very problematic since it would entail making disease claims publicly on a large scale that could easily cause real issues with the FDA and/or FTC. What I’ve posted on RMN has also been a risk but it’s a limited audience and has had passwords with very short durations.

The marketing plan you mentioned would be a madhouse in and of itself. It’s for run-of-the-mill players and is tantamount to herding cats. Our product and reputation are so strong that we can implement our new marketing model, which is very succinct: a small number of influencers with hundreds of thousands and millions of followers each, sending their audience who already uses colloidal silver to our website to learn about colloidal/ionic silver (and clear up the fraud). I don’t need to get into the mess you described – just align with existing large-audience influencers. I don’t need to make a single disease claim publicly – just take the existing colloidal silver users from the competition. 95% convert on seeing the website.

I elected to shut down all wholesaling after we’ve sold a million bottles and were in hundreds of retailers because it was resulting in price wars on Amazon. Influencer-affiliate marketing is the future, and we can do it like few others can.

I elected to hold off on launching that until we raise a good boost of capital to cushion me for months with the overhead, so we expand the operations (facilities, staff, equipment and inventory) like they were before a hurricane and COVID and shutting of wholesaling had us cut back, so we can then keep up with the prepaid online retail sales that will spike the moment that first large-audience influencer interviews me on their podcast. I’ve been interviewed on over a hundred radio/internet shows over the years by retailers who bought wholesale. This is a slam dunk with influencer-affiliates once it’s launched.

I elected to wait to raise a boost of capital before we align with an affiliate provider. There are many but I’m only going to work with one of the largest, so we and the influencers are in the best of hands. I can start small but it would be an all-consuming madhouse and impossible to maintain and grow. Instead, I had the CEO of the largest affiliate firm in the world, AWIN, instruct his head of US sales to work with me for over a dozen hours showing me how their platform works, but I’ve opted to go with Impact, the largest in the US, which can accommodate “capacity-driven scaling” so the initial spikes in sales from the influencers don’t put us in the position of having more prepaid retail sales than we can ship within 24 hours. They’ll state, “20,000 units were produced, and when that runs out, you get a pre-order page, not a buy page.” This is the proper, advanced, clean way to go about this. It facilitates reliable, rapid growth.

You wouldn’t understand this based on the “boilerplate business 101” things you suggested, but I have declined many opportunities for millions of dollars in investments from professional investors anticipating hundreds of millions in growth – solely because I believe that when the religion is the dollar, we’re going to destroy the human species soon. (Why am I writing this to you when you’d know that if you’ve reviewed my posts, and yet you still wrote what you did?) Unless you think the pharma/vax mafia and AI in the hands of madmen preparing to put implants in everyone’s brain, all in the name of capitalism and free enterprise and unlimited profit, no matter who is left as roadkill, is a good thing.

Sticking to this conviction has made things much harder, but it’s why my work is about to explode now.

I’ve had many people in the UHNW space and impact space ask me to be a leader in accelerating how wealth is used to benefit humanity and a leadership and support hub for next-gen recipients of billion-dollar wealth. “Jay, I manage the wealth for many billionaires. My friends and I know we need change, but we don’t know how to bring it about. You’ve been seasoned your whole life to lead this.”

I put together a hub to do that. https://evolvedinfluence.com if you want to see an overview.

They have been sending me their clients and next-gens but I’ve had to put it all on hold until I raise a boost of capital elsewhere.

That ecosystem will result in massive funding for the silver from people who want to do good in the world, as the RELATIONSHIPS grow. I’ve learned they want to work with me, and it’s a given the money will follow, BUT FIRST it’s imperative I raise ample money elsewhere because in the challenging cash-flow position I’m in with turning down normal investors who are only in it for the money and shutting off all wholesaling, and not launching the new marketing until we raise a boost of money to do it right, yet while still having the $30,000/month overhead of keeping the operation alive anyway, they see I need to raise some money right away and that KILLS those relationships before they begin. I can’t tell them I need to raise cash right away. Indeed, until I get a boost in, I’m not even showing up and on my game.

For example, while normal people would submit a grant application to a foundation and be in the hands of the low-level team screening countless applications for money, I’m able to jump over the wall and go directly to the billionaire whose foundation it is and ask them to join my Evolved Influence think-tank coalition and help accelerate how wealth is used to benefit humanity. I know I can because it keeps happening. But I drop to the basement the moment I say I need to raise some money right away.

Rumor Mill has been my focus because, by nature, the audience understands the perversion of the pharma/vax mafia, is into holistic approaches to health, uses “colloidal” silver, and cares about seeing good things progress for humanity.

I’ve been consciously taking a big risk posting some of the things I have on Rumor Mill News about the plans, the benefits of the product, and the fundraising. There’s no question about it. So far, it’s resulted in some extremely good people, extremely supportive people, funding this with investments, loans, and donations to the nonprofit I run, and even donations to the for-profit with no desire for any return (but I give a return to them anyway). But it’s been barely enough to keep the operation alive so far. One more good boost and we’re on dry land.

Moreover, it’s a risk I knowingly chose over succumbing to shark investors who I refuse to work for and get in bed with, period, and over opening the gates to the ultra-wealthy who want to join my leadership coalition of using with for humanity before I raise money elsewhere so I don’t blow those great contacts.

(By the way, of course the nonprofit I run has PayPal/Zelle donation links: https://championsforhumanity.org/donate. I prefer personal contact, and we need larger sums.)

I know the laws extremely well. I’ve deliberately never made any claims about the health benefits of the product in association with anything related to marketing – only strictly about raising capital, and that’s been in a delicate area, hopefully to end any tie now -- he moment I get the next boost of capital in. But you’re right without realizing it – that area of risk with Rumor Mill has been delicate: disease claims.

I am now shifting to other avenues as I’m able. For instance, the attorney for the nonprofit I run formed the largest Rotary Club in the county, and we’re between West Palm Beach and Miami, so there’s plenty of money there. Many local Rotary Clubs will also have me speak to raise donations and investments. I haven’t done that yet because I’ve been overwhelmed with day-to-day urgent cash flow, taking care of operations too much myself, and dealing with, frankly, just a very prolonged air pocket in cash flow.

I can also start building my LinkedIn following, which gets great responses. Writing articles. YouTube not about silver, which I can only minimally talk about, and the marketing video on the retail website says it all and converts 95% of existing colloidal silver users, but about my journey and the vision. Actually, I’m going to launch a podcast for Evolved Influence where I interview leaders in impact investing and others, and share my vision about the need to evolve quickly beyond our still-barbaric socioeconomic culture.

I guess you haven’t seen my posts on RMN with three or four interviews I’ve done to begin that podcast.

You and anyone else can talk with me directly, and I'll provide confirmation of every word I’ve said here.

This will grow very fast the moment I get the next boost of capital to shift the use of MY TIME AND ENERGY from covering ongoing immediate overhead and doing too much of running daily operations myself. Just one more good boost from one more good person, and this skyrockets!

Meanwhile, the people I’ve spoken with from my exposure on Rumor Mill has resulted in superb relationships with good people who commend me, tell me they’re inspired to know people like me exist and the world needs more of it, and on the other hand I’ve done countless good for individuals, turning their lives and health around and that of their loved ones with not just the silver but with health advice that goes well beyond the silver. I give the product away for free to anyone who can’t afford it, even when I’ve been fighting eviction.

The normal business model you described is nice, but I’m not playing by normal business rules. With one good boost of cash now, this skyrockets and does a lot of good for many, many millions of people in many ways.

I’m here if you want to talk to me in a mutually respectful and supportive way, but please only if you’re in a position to consider putting in some capital. You seem like a wise and successful businessman. I’ve pulled no punches here. I’m as real as it gets, albeit way ahead of my time. If you're interested in maybe helping, let’s talk. And yes, that’s my final closing pitch for potential investors: “Please help.” It weeds out the sharks and leaves only mutually supportive relationships.

In closing, I met a rich woman recently who asked why I’ve turned down so much money. I said it’s not about control; it’s about shared values and vision. I said I’m going to give control to a billionaire who is committed to taking this silver out to the world if anything happens to me. She said, “Why would you ever give up control?” I replied, “Because it’s about the mission, it’s not about me.” So, this is not a normal business model. It’s rather the way business must become if humanity is to survive and thrive.
