Scroll all the way down, and then keep scrolling. The "I" in I-BOX stands for information box. Until recently, when IHUB was redesigned a little, the IBOX used to be at the top of the message boards, and was originally designed to give a description of the company being discussed, and sometimes lowly low IQ mod bashers would highjack these boards and fill the IBOX with complete crap in an attempt to scare people and mislead them. Until just recently, the MONI IBOX was the biggest joke of an IBOX on all of IHUB. Only a complete amature that doesn't understand the OTC at all could have written it. They must of realized that the entire thing was a pathetic mess and was forced to delete it. Now the IBOX is deep down below the messages posted here, so no one even see's it anymore, however, that doesn't prevent it from being hijacked by low IQ amateurs that get off on trying to control a false narrative. Sad stuff really. Only a sick, twisted, and desperate individual would do such a thing IMO.

So, ya wanna play with AI, to write your stories, well, lets play your silly game.
Here's one for ya. Irony is that it actually included "Even a tech startup"
For entertainment purposes only(honest people tell you upfront), a story about how Reggie sells his name for celebrity endorsements. Enjoy!
"The Name Game: Reggie Jackson’s Legacy for Sale"
Reggie Jackson, the Hall of Fame baseball legend, was no stranger to the limelight. A career filled with legendary moments, including his three World Series MVP awards and his iconic "Mr. October" persona, had made him one of the most recognizable athletes of all time. Yet, after retiring from the game that had made him famous, Reggie realized that his name still carried a weight—one that could open doors to more than just sports memorabilia or endorsements.
It all began on an unseasonably chilly fall afternoon in 2024, years after his illustrious playing days had ended. Reggie sat in the corner of a posh Manhattan café, flipping through a stack of business proposals and advertisements. He was no longer looking for new investments, endorsements, or partnerships. The well-oiled machine of his financial portfolio had long since taken care of his future. Yet, a new idea was creeping into his mind—an idea that would not only extend his legacy but also redefine the concept of "brand."
As he sipped his coffee, his business manager, Carl, walked over, holding a large envelope. Carl was a no-nonsense man who had seen everything in the world of sports business. But today, his face carried a hint of excitement.
"Reggie, I think we’re onto something big here," Carl said, placing the envelope on the table.
Reggie raised an eyebrow.
"What’s this?"
Carl sat down and flipped open the envelope, revealing a contract from a marketing agency that had approached Reggie with an unusual proposition. They wanted to buy the rights to his name—for a price.
"Think of it this way," Carl continued, "your name is an asset. You’ve built something bigger than baseball, something businesses are eager to tap into. What they’re offering isn’t just an endorsement deal. They’re offering to use your name to consult, advise, and even appear for brands across industries. Food, technology, finance—anything that wants to cash in on the credibility and appeal you’ve built."
Reggie sat back in his chair, digesting the words. He had always been fiercely protective of his image, a quality that had earned him a reputation for being selective about the companies he worked with. But the more he thought about it, the more the idea intrigued him. He was a brand, and his name was a symbol of success, perseverance, and excellence. What if he could make it work for him in ways he hadn’t considered before?
"What’s the catch?" Reggie asked, his voice steady but cautious.
Carl shrugged. "No catch. You’d still control the terms. You’d set the boundaries. You wouldn’t be expected to put in the time for full-time advisory work—just offer your name and reputation in exchange for consulting on a wide range of business ventures."
Reggie thought about it for a moment, envisioning the endless possibilities. From tech startups looking to leverage his leadership image to luxury brands eager to tie their products to his iconic status, the opportunities seemed limitless. But there was one thing that stood out—he could hand-pick the companies that he truly believed in, ensuring his involvement was always meaningful.
"Alright," Reggie said, his eyes glinting with determination. "Let’s make this work."
Within a few weeks, Reggie’s name was officially on the market. The deal had been finalized, and the contracts were signed. The agreement stipulated that any company, large or small, could purchase the right to use "Reggie Jackson" for consulting purposes. In exchange, he would provide brief advisory work, speaking engagements, and strategic input on their branding or product development. But it wasn’t just any company that could tap into his legacy—each business had to meet certain standards of ethical and professional conduct, a stipulation that Reggie insisted upon to protect the integrity of his brand.
Soon, the requests came pouring in. A luxury sports car company wanted his guidance on promoting their new line of high-performance vehicles, using his reputation for strength and precision. A health and wellness brand sought his endorsement for a new line of nutritional supplements, capitalizing on his long history of fitness and discipline. Even a tech startup, aiming to disrupt the sports analytics industry, offered him a hefty sum to lend his expertise on how to make data-driven decisions on the field.
Each company that approached him was required to meet a rigorous vetting process, and Reggie found himself narrowing his focus to those ventures that truly aligned with his values. He wasn’t about to let his name be associated with just anything. As his influence spread, he had a hand in shaping new innovations and products—none of which had anything to do with baseball itself.
The real surprise came when Reggie Jackson received a call from one of the most well-known global financial institutions. They were launching a new initiative to mentor young business leaders and wanted him to serve as an advisor for a major campaign. It wasn’t about sports. It was about leadership, resilience, and making decisions under pressure—qualities that Reggie had embodied throughout his baseball career.
His name, once synonymous only with baseball, had now become a beacon of wisdom and business savvy.
In the end, Reggie Jackson had become more than just a former baseball star. He was a name that represented integrity, excellence, and success across a variety of fields. People saw him as a trusted figure in the business world, and companies competed to align themselves with his brand.
Reggie’s name had become an asset that transcended sports. He had turned his legacy into a unique business venture, allowing him to stay relevant in the business world for years to come—without ever swinging a bat again.
And so, "Mr. October" became the name behind some of the most innovative businesses in the world—not just a legend of the past, but a valuable asset for the future.
See folks! AI is a dangerous tool and scammers will use it to plagiarize bits and pieces of articles, manipulate the outcome and use it to rob you blind. Do your own DD when you read those wonderful pieces of DD. LMFAO!

LOL Found where some of the plagiarized Reggie Jackson fluff came from and that he is no longer the advisor that he is hyped about..
We have THIS little tidbit that Mr October is NO LONGER the advisor for the Astros and read that he advised in BASEBALL matters.Odd, left to spend time with family and suddenly shows up with $mONI?
For now, Jackson’s focus is on spending more time with his daughter, three grandkids, and five siblings, four of whom are in their 80s.

Note that Reggie Jackson WAS special advisor for DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION issues. Hmmm where could $mONI possibly need a DIVERSITY counselor? Strange. Is Reggie just another name for hire? Sorry but this smells of BS.
