Once again, Rory rubs his sh*t in the noses of long suffering shareholders. From today's PR:
“We’re honored to be with the Nasdaq team at this special invitation only 'ring in the races' Closing Bell ceremony event trackside at F1 in Las Vegas,” stated Rory J. Cutaia, VERB CEO. “The Nasdaq team has put together an extraordinary multi-day event for a small group of Nasdaq-listed issuers – no one does it better.”
VERB went from the OTC to NASDAQ in April of 2019. Accounting for all of the reverse splits since then, the equivalent prince per share was around $17,000. Now sitting under $10.
Geiskopf should also be ashamed of himself, but at this point it's clear that he and his pal Rory are just there to extract as much money from the company as possible.

Here’s another site that I came across the other day, https://www.entrepreneur.com/video/series/elevatorpitch, which’s airs on the Cheddar network, while TV channel surfing…
How much money will Rory burn through while trying to compete with other numerous sites, which is expensive to produce?
Oh, I forgot, Rory working on a third venture, yet to be named?
He should change the company’s name from Verb to WePivot, Inc., which is better suited to what Verb does, going from one failed business to the next while diluting investors into oblivion…

I gotta say that Redspeed over on the other board finds ways to twist himself into a pretzel.
A poster reported that a hedge fund that was a significant holder of VERB shares sold almost half their shares.
Redspeed's response:
CORSAIR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT sold about half their position. Who knows, maybe they sold all when they realized they couldn't buy all the shares if that was ever on their minds. Maybe they sell, short, cover, rebuy?
And a web site that has VERB shares flagged as "Significantly Overvalued" (their formula suggests the share price should be around $ 2.50) elicits this comment from Redspeed:
Can't have it both way. Maybe they forgot to flip it to Significantly Undervalued now that VERB is valued 'according' to GF at twice the price.
The explanation that the algorithm "forgot" to change the rating to Undervalued is laughable. The site's formula (for what it's worth) says a share is worth $ 2.50. That's 1 1/4 cents a share pre-reverse split for those of you keeping track of such things.
Rory continues to burn more than $ 28,000 of investor money each and every calendar day with no indication that profitability or positive cash flow is on the horizon. He's dangling a third revenue source (adding to the TikTok shop that brings in less than $ 1,000 per day in gross margin, GoFundYourself being the second - note that the GFY YouTube channel has 101 subscribers...and there's been a whopping 20 views for the show that was released 4 days ago...the most "popular" video from 2 months ago has 530 total views).
Maybe the third revenue stream will be a lemonade stand operating from Rory's driveway. That Vegas sun can be mighty brutal. I can see this being bigger than TikTok or GFY.

Under the Business Highlights section of the PR:
New Product Launches: The Company has been focusing on its MARKET.live platform, a multi-vendor, livestream social shopping destination. This platform allows brands, retailers, and creators to broadcast livestream shopping events on various social media channels.
The Market.live platform was several pivots ago. The site was developed by spending tens of millions of shareholder money and it was a complete failure. Not even Crackhead Mike Lindell or Frankie Avalon could save it. The site is kaput. Done. Finito.
How is this classified as a "New Product Launch" ? WTF is Rory smoking?
And the revenue from all sources comes out to less than $ 1,500 per calendar day. Gross margin is around $ 800 per day. General and Administrative expenses are more than $ 23,000 per day.
Rory is whacked.

Five Forms 4 filings last night…
Cutaia 50,968 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1566610/000149315224044382/xslF345X05/ownership.xml
Explanation of Responses:
1. On November 7, 2024, the compensation committee of the Issuer's board of directors adopted the annual recommendation of an independent compensation consulting firm retained to determine compensation for the Issuer's executives and board members, granting 50,968 restricted stock units to the Reporting Person that will vest annually in equal parts on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock provided that the Reporting Person remains in continuous service on each vesting date. The restricted stock units may be settled only by delivering shares of the Issuer's common stock, and thus, the grant is being reported in Table 1 instead of Table II, as allowed per SEC guidance and to avoid having to file a Form 4 each time there is a vesting of the restricted stock units.
2. The total reported in Column 5 includes the (i) 50,968 newly awarded restricted stock units and (ii) 884 shares of common stock. .
