There you go again when you think no one is watching. You know well that Blackstar's method patents have nothing to do with tokenized assets. That is the problem. The industry has no use for CEO Joe's plans.

Adar Alef and SE Holdings got busted by the SEC for unregistered dealer activity. So their debt is no longer convertible and Blackstar doesn't really have anything else to go after with litigation at this point. They are essentially screwed. GS Capital has been suing Blackstar for over a year now and CEO Joe has a massive legal bill that he is trying to convert with a Section 3(a)(10)b exemption giving them free trading shares to move $861,539.26 of their accounts payables priced at a 42.5% lowest closing sale price for twenty (20) trading days. Waiting to see if CEO Joe can muster any real developments in the business to promote the new stock sales. I would like to know what he is telling these attorneys who haven't been getting paid.

The Company is aware that on January 23, 2024, Aryeh Goldstein, Managing Member of SE Holdings, LLC, individually, and Adar Alef, LLC, also managed by Aryeh Goldstein, as the entity, settled charges with the SEC ordering them, in part, to surrender for cancellation all remaining shares they obtained through conversion of notes, as well as conversion rights under any remaining convertible notes. The Company is evaluating what this means for the remaining outstanding conversion rights under the two convertible promissory notes held by SE Holdings, LLC ($220,000) and Adar Alef, LLC ($550,000), and for the current holdings of Adar Alef, LLC (5,000,000 shares of common stock of BlackStar).

I was here on the day this hit its high of $0.128 back on November 27th. One of my first posts on the board was telling these people that day something wasn't right. Been pulling back the curtain ever since. Hey, I think this stock is perfect for you. CEO Joe has set this up for some massive dilution though he hasn't pulled the trigger on it. Beginning to look like the are having trouble with the 3(a)(10) exemption and CEO Joe needs it badly to pay his lawyers.

I just see promotion here based on a "system and method" patent that looks dubious to me in terms of monetization. I would have to agree with that poster. I think I will pass, frankly I believe you have seen your run. Between those conversion shares and those who want to lock in their gains, when it turns it will likely turn hard. Just another view point to temper the emotional fervor. This is the OTC when it looks too good to be true you can bet your losses that it is. Bubae

New outstanding share count update. No change. I'm beginning to think CEO Joe will not be able to pull off that section 3(a)(10) dilution. Either way it is bad news for shareholders. The account payable that were to be converted is mostly legal fees. Attorneys normally like getting paid. That account was more than $1 million at the end of Q3. Screen shot of the December 13th update which was posted on the 26th below.

For those who may believe buying 7s and 8s here is an opportunity to flip this trash. The summary of the settlement agreement states that the conversions will be done "...at a reduction of forty-two and a half percent (42.5%) off the lowest closing sale price for twenty (20) trading days as disclosed in the Settlement Agreement..." Looking at the Settlement Agreement, Exhibit 10.1 linked below, we find that the conversions are to be done at "..market price during the valuation period..." Market Price is defined as lowest "Sale Price".

Wow, that post triggered you? 😆 A little factual reverberation for the newbs to the board. It is rare that you see agreements with a constantly adjusting conversion price these days who's intended purpose is to move what will be much more than $1 million in new shares. In terms of stock picks you would do better throwing a dart at a list of OTC tickers. We know from the last OS update of November 27th that the 60,200,000 shares for fees and expenses was issued. We also know that the authorized share count has been finalized with the DEF 14C filing on the 17th of December yet we still don't have a share count update on the OTC markets site. This is just the beginning.

Motivated reasoning (at its finest) combined with unfounded assumptions. Hallmarks of causality without sufficient evidence. Also, link to any case where a public company in breach of contract engages in costly patent valuation to show that there is little value. And you are indirectly inferring that the patents might have some value based on GS Capital Partners LLC's actions or interest. Specifically, the suggestion that Blackstar "wanted to demonstrate to GS Capital that there is little of value to go after while they were in settlement talks" implies that GS Capital might see potential value in the patents, prompting Blackstar to downplay their worth. And you also mention that Blackstar might be insolvent by 2026 case close, so I guess that is another indirect projection that you think GS Capital LLC finds value in the patents.
"I don't want to get in the weeds of the lawsuit" = Cognitive Dissonance Avoidance
You are unknowingly committing a categorical error, logical fallacy and self contradictory statement with your predatory lending claim, which is an argument that BEGI has now brought up in the opening brief.
Predatory lending, if it exists, is about the intent behind creating or enforcing the contract, not merely its "benefits" as you are arguing.
Arguing about the "benefits of the contract" misses the point entirely that predatory lending could occur even with a legally valid and enforceable contract, provided the lender’s practices were exploitative or abusive.
Predatory lending (which BEGI has brought up) is distinct from Rule 144.......so we can even leave Rule 144 out of this (which BEGI has brought up as well)
Serious questions:
Do you think the contract terms violated public policy?
Did BEGI argue that such practices render the contract unconscionable and, therefore, unenforceable under Nevada law?
Do you consider the amount of shares sold and gains to qualify as share dumping? If so, does share dumping violate public policy and protection?
Has the Nevada state courts previously invalidated contracts that:
A.Were found to be unconscionable or grossly unfair
B.Facilitated illegal activities, including violations of federal laws
C. Were contrary to public interest
???
Lastly, if you don't want to get into the weeds of the lawsuit, why are you commenting at all to begin with authoritative claims stating none of this falls under the purview of the courts, federal laws don't matter, GS Cap shredded BEGI, investors should not cling to hope, responding to my posts at all.
I have not made any claims about what I think may or should happen, all I have done is hold you to account and point out the conceptual cognitive dissonance nightmare of your own posts.
All of this is up to the courts once all evidence has been laid out, and your authoritative claims and calling the GS a predatory lender is baffling, while also taking the stance that this case is dead on arrival.
Let it play out.

All anyone who is clinging to the possibility that this lawsuit can in anyway be beneficial to Blackstar can simply read the answering brief which pretty well covers what is going on in this single document. The benefit of the contract, as with all toxic notes, is completely written to cover the predatory lender. Blackstar can't even attract these types of loans anymore with two in default since 2022 and this one in litigation.
What matters is that the ridiculous consequences of such huge accrued legal expenses over what was originally such a relatively small sum owed speaks to the incompetency of the management of this company. Now they are trying to unload the costs of litigation onto traders of Blackstar stock with the new dilution using the Section 3(a)(10) exemption from registration for more than $860K of what will be more than $1 million in new dilution converted at a steep discount to market. Blackstar last borrowed a total of $50K from two individuals in July. The cash balance of as of September 30th was $2,179. I see no new borrowing up to the release of the Q3 filing. People need to start buying those new shares in earnest or CEO Joes attorneys may take a hike. 😆

^If it was intentional, please accept my pat on the back in advance. Very funny.
