For all those JP fans
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quality Industrial Corp. (the “Company”) (OTCID: QIND), an industrial and energy-focused company providing comprehensive solutions for the liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”) industry, today announced the appointment of Carsten Kjems Falk as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Falk will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company. The appointment follows the resignation of John-Paul Backwell as Chief Executive Officer, for personal and health reasons. Mr. Backwell will continue to serve as a director of the Company.

Made money awhile back on this one. I'm happy.
Maybe the next shareholders' meeting will explain it; whenever that happens. I'll just wait for an alert that is meaningful.

As you see from today's PR, we are no longer dealing with 3-6 month windows. Now it is 18--24

too good to be true!!

That was an interesting read if it comes true. $ILUS. Holding #LONG

Possibly by the end of Quarter1 is still possible with 5 days left in the quarter but that would require a Vote by HTOO holders

Let's hope they do come back to life as the letter states as soon as Q2 2026

$ILUS Ilus International provides a shareholder update on progress in share monetization, audits, and plans for operational execution in 2026.

Here it is. In all of its beautiful prose
https://data-room.center/Data/ILUS/Letters/2026/Letter0203252026.pdf

PR update out. Try not to hurt yourself while laughing

Anyone know how to play taps? 🙂

I think a company has to give 20 calendar day notice for an Annual Shareholder meeting. So looks like will not be in Q1 anymore, despite prior PR. Who would have thought we would be dissapointed (again)

Our good buddy (Nick) has been associated with DRCR for a long time. But, since when did he become chairman????

I just wonder if/when he'll resurface again with ILUS.

Nick alive and well with another company https://www.newmediawire.com/news/drcr-pushes-forward-with-implementation-of-2026-business-plan-7085802

His quote at end could have been lifted from past ILUS pr's LOL

Creaky, you write and express yourself very well. Unfortunately, you are "spot on" in each of your 6 points. Ugh!!!!

I noticed that there is a Bullish indicator next to your handle.

It would be a great comfort to fellow shareholders, if you can state your Bullish thesis on this company.

1. Do you feel we will still have the much delayed Annual Shareholder meeting before the end of the first quarter? When was the last ASH--2023? I am sure the following quote from the October, 2025 PR is still burning in your mind: "We now plan to host our next shareholder meeting in Q1 2026, where we will present tangible progress and clear momentum toward our goals. Our intention is for that meeting to be both forward-looking and strategic, setting the tone for what we expect to be a landmark year for ILUS."

2. Have you seen any PR's recently from the company, or any of the public subsidiaries, as to how they may be doing? Any, how does one say, "tangible progress"?

3. Does SAML still have their luggage inventory, which one can assume was the hidden gem in the deal?

4. I recall their buying a British defense related software company (or something like that) and they paraded out the 2 officers of the company at a shareholders meeting. What ever happenned to that company? Did we not also have some type of waste recycling company which was to have explosive growth---any sightings?

5. Another gem from the October, 2025 pr: " Following the sale of our oil and gas subsidiary to a NASDAQ-listed company in late
2024, we experienced short-term delays in accessing the full portion of the freely
tradable stock received as part of the transaction. Under the Share Purchase
Agreement (SPA), several formalities were required to be completed by Fusion Fuel
Green PLC (HTOO) before ILUS could monetize or leverage those shares.
Unfortunately, these administrative steps have taken longer than anticipated, resulting
in a delay that has naturally impacted our scheduling and the timing of the previously
discussed shareholder meeting. We now expect these final procedural items to be completed in the coming weeks. "

Have you seen, or heard, of any progress in regard to the above?

6. How is the name change application going?

Feel free to make your explanation as lengthy as possible, but try to keep it simple for those of us who do not have the necessary intellect.

Thank you.

Why do you bring up an extradition treaty with US?

Creaky is just joking. He has a very good sense of humor. He's also a frustrated ILUS shareholder......as we all are.

Why do you bring up an extradition treaty with US?

I guess he will say he has been too busy dodging missiles in Dubai to get anything accomplished, and thus a delay.

Or, another guess, on a beach in a country that does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S.. 😀

If there was ever a time to be selling ER equipment, this is it. Guess we missed the boat.

Does anybody know what Nick is doing these days, and where is he??

A company with a similar name. At least they make something.
https://zagdaily.com/trends/ilus-unveils-three-new-bike-sharing-models-for-europe/

No sir I do not every thy have said has not come to fruition.

And you still believe them. Na

I thought nick said there would be a announcement by the end of first quarter we will see lm not holding my breath.

Buggs

It's only one guy now---Nick, JP jumped ship to HTOO/QIND a while ago.

I fear any PR will not be good news. Has anyone seen any news release about any contracts any of the subsidiaries have received?
Has there been any business for any of them? For awhile ILUS was selling HTOO shares to get some cash, but have not seen that in a while either.

Buffalo fireside said he had spoken to nick and he said he was going to release a statement last week not a word go figure.

Creaky looks like you got your answer with no replies to many promises from these two guys and no results.

It's Feb 15th. How many think we get another "Dear John" pr in next few days?

Here is a possible new excuse for a delay---A deal they had done, and then undone, the accountants thought was done again and prepared the financials incorrectly, so now has to be undone for the second time. But they are working hard to do another deal, which can then be undone, providing the momentary increase in shareholder value they are working feverishly to accomplish.

We now plan to host our next shareholder meeting in Q1 2026, where we will present tangible progress and clear momentum toward our goals. Our intention is for that meeting to be both forward-looking and strategic, setting the tone for what we expect to be a landmark year for ILUS. Further details and dates will be confirmed and shared in due course.

Hold onto your hat, Creaky. Nick says there's big things happening soon for a "landmark year". ! hope you've booked your flight and hotel reservations for the upcoming shareholder meeting!

I like to re-read this every once in a while next to the fireplace.

I hope he did not drink Brett Rosen's kool aid

Anyone hear a peep from Nick? Is the Brett Rosen fallout too close to home?

The below article appeared this morning in my local newspaper (San Diego Union Tribune). It appeared on the front page of the Local Section, The article sheds more information on the dynamic duo. It's very interesting that both Brett and his wife were still in custody as of yesterday. FYI, La Jolla is a very swanky area in San Diego. LOTS of big wealth there.

La Jolla couple facing criminal charges, SEC suit over alleged $100 million pump-and-dump scheme
Brett and Deborah Rosen, through RB Capital Partners, allegedly ran complicated pump-and-dump scheme involving penny-stock companies

By ALEX RIGGINS | alex.riggins@sduniontribune.com | The San Diego Union-Tribune
PUBLISHED: January 22, 2026 at 5:13 PM PST | UPDATED: January 22, 2026 at 5:17 PM PST

A La Jolla couple has been indicted by a federal grand jury in San Diego and sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on allegations that they operated a yearslong pump-and-dump securities fraud scheme that netted them and their company more than $100 million in earnings.

Brett David Rosen, 45, and Deborah Rachel Rosen, 44, are accused of criminally engaging in a market manipulation scheme in which they and their investment firm, RB Capital Partners, allegedly promoted the stock of six publicly traded companies while they secretly dumped their own cheaply-acquired stock in those companies.

The SEC’s civil suit focuses on the couple’s alleged conduct related to one of the six companies. The suit also names that company’s former CEO as a defendant and accuses the Rosens and RB Capital Partners of using social media and news releases “to promote the stock of a struggling public company … while simultaneously making massive, undisclosed sales of their own … stock at enormous profits.”
The Rosens, who allegedly used the illicit profits to buy a lavish multi-million-dollar home in La Jolla, were in custody and made initial appearances Wednesday in federal court in San Diego. They pleaded not guilty to charges in a 24-count indictment alleging conspiracy to commit securities fraud, money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Federal prison records showed both appeared to still be in custody Thursday. A defense attorney whom Brett Rosen told the judge he planned to hire did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It was unclear Thursday if Deborah Rosen had an attorney who could comment on her behalf.

The indictment alleged that the pump-and-dump scheme began in 2020 and involved at least six companies that were traded on the Over-the-Counter markets, a series of four decentralized financial markets where buyers and sellers trade directly with each other instead of through brokers. The companies in question included a solar roofing firm, a digital currency company, a pharmaceutical company and a defense firm that makes military drones and other technology.

“The indictment alleges that the Rosens’ promotions of these companies provided false and misleading information to investors, potential investors, and the market about their financing of and stock positions in these companies,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego said in a statement. “The false and misleading information was designed to encourage the public to invest in these companies while the Rosens secretly dumped their own stock in these companies to make millions of dollars.”
According to the indictment, the Rosens used RB Capital Partners to purchase debt from microcap companies — which are also known as penny-stock companies, and refer to firms with a market capitalization of less than $300 million. Through a complex series of transactions involving promissory notes and convertible debt, the Rosens then allegedly acquired stock shares in those companies at a steep discount, according to the indictment. The couple then touted the companies on social media and elsewhere in an effort to boost the value of the stock, at which time they secretly sold their own shares to enrich themselves, the indictment states.

In one example alleged in the SEC suit, the Rosens purchased more than 1.6 billion shares of Solar Integrated Roofing Corp. stock at secretly discounted prices as low as $0.00005 per share — or half a hundredth of a cent per share — and later sold more than 1.4 billion of those shares for prices as high as $2.60 per share.

The indictment alleged that the Rosens heavily relied on the social media site Twitter, now known as X, to promote the companies whose debt they’d purchased. According to the indictment, Brett Rosen also regularly used the site to defend himself against accusations of fraud and market manipulation at least as early as 2021. His account on X is no longer active.

Brett Rosen is also identified in the indictment as Brett Hackspacher. Court records showed he successfully petitioned to change his last name in 2015. In a 2024 deposition posted on YouTube, the New York-born Rosen told an attorney that Hackspacher was his last name for most of his life, but he changed it to his mother’s maiden name several years after his parents divorced.
Deborah Rosen is also identified in the indictment and named in the SEC suit as Deborah Braun. In the deposition posted online, Rosen said he and his wife had been business partners “long before” they got married in 2021.

The indictment seeks the forfeiture of numerous financial accounts linked to the Rosens and their company, as well as their La Jolla home, which prosecutors allege was purchased with the proceeds of the fraud scheme. According to Zillow, the 5,000-square-foot home, which features a tennis court and a sweeping ocean view, was purchased in 2021 for $7.1 million and is now worth nearly $10 million.

A prosecutor told a judge Wednesday that the Rosens can continue to live at the home while the case is pending.

$ILUS-If the Annual Shareholders Meeting (ASM) is held in Q1, expect news shortly after. Should news fail to materialize by February 15th, I anticipate the timeline shifting to Q2.

Good question, Creaky. For sure, he misses his sidekick who always had plenty to say and looked so sincere.

Do you think we will ever hear from Nick again?

$ILUS yes sir. Huge asset this will fly off EM.

Is this another Nick deal undone? https://www.einpresswire.com/article/880683292/american-infrastructure-corporation-announces-separation-from-cgrowth-capital

Hopefully ILUS still owns those shares in DRCR

Very true nothing thy said has come to fruition.

Unfortunately, Buggs, most things that Nick and JP said would happen never occurred. Very disappointing. Those two guys really talked a good game. That's the best thing I can say about them and that's not meant in a positive way.

Wasn’t there supposed to be an announcement by year’s end?

Anyone know if company is still operating?

Why now more than months ago?

The stock is officially KAPUT now!

Should be getting a Happy Holiday, working very hard tweet from Nick.
