RE:Pump and dump - Period.Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JTnX8aJWQg
Ron already told you 6 or more months ago that they will need at least another $30-60 million of your money to start earnestly working towards a production unit.
You are being duped.
You say in one breath that Ron told us something six months ago, and that somehow we are being duped. Look at their corporate presentation: https://www.zinc8energy.com/media/downloads/presentation.pdf
Like right up front on slide 2:
Such forward-looking information can include without limitation statements based on current expectations involving a number of risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance of the Company, such as final development of a commercial product(s), successful trial or pilot of company technologies, no assurance that commercial sales of any kind actually materialize; no assurance the Company will have sufficient funds to complete product development. ... There is no assurance that the DTCR business will provide any benefit to the Company, and no assurance that any proposed new products will be built or proceed. There is no assurance that existing “patent pending” technologies licensed by the Company will receive patent status by regulatory authorities. The Company is not currently selling commercial Energy Storage systems. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information.
That seems pretty clear to me, did they miss something? Then you wrote:
Never one video showing their actual current manufacturing facilties with everyone (supposedly 30+ employees) toiling away actually working on or building something.
They have been saying that manufacturing is in the future (slide 15 shows that they are targeting 2023 for production), although they have said in interviews that they hope to speed that up a bit. How could they have a video now of something that won't start until the future? I'm not sure about what things are like on your planet, but here on earth, time only moves forward.
