This is a well known scam set up many years ago by Joseph Wade Mezey and his family.
The claim is Tom Olmstead purchased majority control of the Company from David Cutler as part of the reverse merger. If one does some real DD it is evident Wade bought several shells from Cutler and proceeded to run scams including this one.
Tom is related to Joe as are many other friends and relatives connected to this and many other scams going back to at least 2010.
Reading the financials one can see Wade dumped over 2.1 billion shares in less than one year.
During the period ended May 31, 2024, there were issuances for 120,000,000 shares of common stock.
During the period ended February 29, 2024, there were issuances for 2,083,000,000 shares of common stock.
As for any dividend, does anyone really believe what they gave out was meaningful?
A dividend was announced on March 24. 2023 for $0.000006 per share to be distributed to shareholders of record as of May 1, 2023
and paid on June 15, 2023. This dividend was processed and distributed as announced on June 15, 2023.
A dividend was announced on June 7, 2023 for $0.000003 per share to be distributed to shareholders of record as of July 30, 2023, and
on July 20, 2023 announced a 33% increase of the dividend to become $0.000004 per share to be paid on September 15, 2023. The
record date was updated to July 31, 2023 in a July 27, 2023 press release. The dividend was processed and distributed as announced
on September 15, 2023.
Finally they have only mined 5.3 bitcoin since inception and have sent out 5.29!

Vortex Brands Co. Acquires MicroStrategy Stock as Strategic Asset
PR Newswire
DENVER, Aug. 28, 2024
DENVER, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vortex Brands Co. (OTC: VTXB), a Bitcoin mining company with expertise in renewable energy and cutting-edge technologies, has begun acquiring MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock as part of a new corporate strategy.
"Adding MicroStrategy stock to our balance sheet allows us to leverage the arbitrage strategy MicroStrategy employs between the corporate public markets and the value of Bitcoin," said Vortex Brands CEO, Todd Higley.
The initial purchase of 10 shares of MSTR is just the beginning, with the company planning to add at least that many shares monthly and report holdings quarterly.
"This move aligns with our positive outlook for Bitcoin and our belief in hard assets, including certain digital assets, as the preferred investment and business activity in today's post-low-inflation environment," added Mr. Higley.
To understand our thought process of adding MicroStrategy stock to our balance sheet and their advocacy for bitcoin, their "Bitcoin for Corporations" initiative features insights from industry leaders on integrating Bitcoin into business strategies: https://www.microstrategy.com/bitcoin/bitcoin-for-corporations
You can also hear their Chairman's participation from a Bitcoin conference here:
Vortex Brands also plans to announce a new division in the coming weeks that will generate additional revenue streams while they continue to optimize their Bitcoin mining efficiency to accumulate more Bitcoin.
About Vortex Brands Co.:
Vortex Brands Co. (OTC: VTXB) is a public company dedicated to developing and deploying innovative technologies, including Bitcoin mining, with a focus on renewable energy and financial technology. The company aims to drive sustainable growth and deliver long-term value to its shareholders through strategic investments and business expansion.
