What a difference a year makes. This time last year CEO Joe was promoting with the many podcasts to move the shares at the time. People though his trading platform idea was about to take off. Still no annual filing to show what we already know. The legal fees alone over what what originally a principal balance of $33,682. Talk about one of the absolute dumbest decisions to take on GS capital over such a small debt. 🙄 The accrued legal fees would be well over $1 million now. Whos is going to pay that? 🤭 CEO Joe may well be out of business now. I have seen no evidence that they have been able to convert legal fees using the Section 3(a)(10) exemption from registration, but maybe they have. This is trash and always has been.

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. 😆

Valuing patents—especially tech-focused ones like BlackStar Enterprise Group’s blockchain-based trading systems—can be complex and speculative without access to specific financials, licensing deals, or commercial traction. But I can give you a general framework and ballpark estimate based on key factors:
?
1. Key Value Drivers
• Patent Breadth & Strength: Their patents are in a hot area (blockchain + securities trading), which adds strategic value. They’ve secured multiple patents forming a “family,” which strengthens their IP position.
• Market Potential: If these patents are adopted (or licensed) by broker-dealers, exchanges, or financial platforms, the revenue potential is significant. The U.S. securities market alone handles $100+ trillion in trades annually.
• Enforceability & Uniqueness: If the tech is hard to design around and truly innovative, it could create a strong licensing or defensive moat.
• Commercial Use or Licensing Deals: If BlackStar is already licensing or partnering these patents, their value increases significantly.

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.

The Company does not operate in the crypto asset markets, does not have crypto asset holdings, and is not proposing to participate in the crypto asset industry, including crypto securities, crypto currencies, and tokens. The use of a blockchain in our proposed platform often gets conflated with crypto asset markets due to blockchain’s use in those industries as well.
