I got involved When Klaus Moeller bought the shell from PTEL. Klaus's wife ran a women's clothing company called Gleeworks. The storefront was in Beverly Hills, near the Celebrity Vault. I don't know why he picked that name or, for that matter, why she did either. So far as I know, the shell never really did anything until he RMed it into Capital Art, the successor to Celebrity, Inc.
The company is trying to survive in the "iconic photograph" space. They have the rights to the Frank Worth collection of hundreds of candid photos of Hollywood stars (and some who never made it that big), most of them early in their careers. I've seen snapshots of Norma Jean, the rat pack relaxing, etc. They just ran a Groupon sale last week. They do pretty well through social media.
So, the company in it's current incarnation is legit. I can't speak for the first two companies.

I was trying to figure out the reverse splits and I think there was a 4:1 divvy, I think that is what they called it.
So, started with MFYS (Medify Solutions, then MDFY?, then Petel (I think this was the VOD.. perhaps true, but many of us said Porno would be best) the symbol was PTEL or PTEI?, then Gleeworks and forgot what that was and then CAPA.
I did not keep track of the Dates of these R/M's and R/S's and needless to say, lost big time on this scam.
Thanks,

Good Gawd.... how many name changes has this gone through since MDFY, I think that is what is started with when I jumped in.
Medical Records was the deal, I really thought they were ahead of the curve back then.
Does anyone keep track of this, since MDFY, the chronology of splits and name changes.
Thanks,
Doug

Okay, almost 2 weeks ago now. Time flies when you're busy.
By the way, if you bought Jonathan Bryant's house, would that make you a dishonest person? That's essentially what a shell company is. If Bryant were still a major stockholder, I'd be worried too, but he's not.
Why do you think that CAPA has no chance of success? Is there a flaw in their business plan I haven't noticed? Or is it just because the corporate shell used to be owned by a bad guy?
