Methinks she fibbed.

GMSacha Inchi $QEDN is working with OTC Markets to post financial and be back to pink current ASAP

None of the above has happened and there's been no follow-up on any of them.

24 Civ. 2967 (JHR) (GS)

10-02-2024

JALANDHER BANDARI, Plaintiff, v. QED CONNECT, INC., NANNY KATHARINA BAHNSEN, and DAVID RUMBOLD, Defendants.

The Honorable Gary Stein United States Magistrate Judge

ORDER

The Honorable Gary Stein United States Magistrate Judge

By his submission dated July 25, 2024, pro se Plaintiff Jalandher Bandari moves for an order permitting alternative service on Defendant Nanny Katharina Bahnsen (“Bahnsen”) via postal mail to her address in Medellin, Colombia. (Dkt. No. 30). Plaintiff's motion is DENIED as moot for the reasons below and the Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to issue a certificate of default as to Bahnsen.

By way of background, on April 17, 2024, Plaintiff initiated this action for securities fraud against Bahnsen; QED Connect, Inc. (“QED”), a New York “pink sheets” corporation of which Bahnsen is the CEO; and David Rumbold (“Rumbold”), a QED note holder residing in Wyoming, Illinois. (Compl. (Dkt. No. 1) ¶¶ 4, 6, 8). Plaintiff submitted affidavits of service for all three Defendants on May 22, 2024. (Dkt. Nos. 12-14). According to the affidavits, QED and Rumbold were both served within the United States via hand delivery (see Dkt. Nos. 12 & 14), while the Complaint and summons were sent to Bahnsen at her address in Colombia via UPS mail (Dkt. No. 13). Attached to the affidavit of service for Bahnsen is a document with the UPS tracking number and a notation stating the shipment was received by Bahnsen on May 9, 2024. (Dkt. No. 13).

As none of the Defendants have appeared in this action or answered Plaintiff's Complaint to date, on June 21, 2024, Plaintiff requested the Clerk issue certificates of default as to each Defendant. (Dkt. Nos. 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 29). The Clerk issued certificates of default as to QED and Rumbold. (Dkt. Nos. 24 & 27). However, after consulting with the undersigned, the Clerk declined to issue a certificate of default as to Bahnsen because “service was not properly effectuated; there is no order giving permission for alternate service (mail).” (See Dkt. Entry dated June 28, 2024). Thereafter, Plaintiff filed the instant motion for alternative service. (Dkt. No. 30).

Upon further review of the applicable law, it is evident that the Court need not authorize alternative service of Bahnsen, as service was properly effected upon her originally under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(f)(1). Service may be made on an individual in a foreign country under Rule 4(f)(1) “by any internationally agreed means of service that is reasonably calculated to give notice, such as those authorized by the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents” (the “Hague Convention”). Article 10(a) of the Hague Convention “authorizes the use of ‘postal channels' to effectuate service on an international litigant” under the “[c]lear precedent of this Circuit.” Zamora v. JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., No. 14 Civ. 5344 (WHP) (SN), 2017 WL 2954680, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. June 21, 2017) (quoting Art. 10(a) of the Hague Convention), R&R adopted, 2017 WL 2937683 (S.D.N.Y. July 10, 2017).

Colombia is a signatory to the Hague Convention and has not objected to Article 10(a). See, e.g., Zamora, 2017 WL 2954680, at *3 (“Colombia has not objected to the use of ‘postal channels' under Article 10(a)”); State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. LaRocca, No. 8:21 Civ. 2536 (SCB) (AEP), 2022 WL 19561965, at *2 (M.D. Fla. July 15, 2022) (“Because Colombia does not oppose Article 10(A), it does not oppose service of judicial documents by postal channel.”). Accordingly, courts have found service by mail on defendants in Colombia to be sufficient. See, e.g., Zamora, 2017 WL 2954680, at *3 (holding “service has been effected in satisfaction of Article 10(a)” where plaintiff used certified mail to send summonses and complaint to defendants' addresses in Colombia); Evergreen Shipping Agency (Am.) Corp. v. Glob. Shipping Agencies, No. Civ. 19-4958, 2019 WL 5901506, at *2 (D.N.J. Nov. 12, 2019) (finding plaintiff effected service by sending “the summons and Amended Complaint to Defendants at their principal place of business in Medellin, Colombia via DHL”).

See Zamora, 2017 WL 2954680, at *1; Status Table: Hague Convention, available at https://www.hcch net/en/instruments/conventions/status-table/?cid=17.

The same conclusion is warranted here. The affidavit submitted by Plaintiff states the summons and Complaint were mailed to Bahnsen at her Colombia address, includes a UPS tracking number, and confirms Bahnsen received the mailing. (Dkt. No. 13). That is sufficient to show Bahnsen was properly served in this action under Rule 4(f)(1) and Article 10(a) of the Hague Convention. And while court approval of alternative service is necessary under Rule 4(f)(3), service may be effected under Rule 4(f)(1) without court intervention. See, e.g., Wood v. Carl's, No. 2:20 Civ. 2329 (APG) (BNW), 2021 WL 4851090, at *1 (D. Nev. May 5, 2021) (“Plaintiff's motion seeks authorization to effect service upon [defendant] under Rule 4(f)(1). However, no such authorization is required.”); Reintegrative Therapy Ass'n, Inc. v. Kinitz, No. 3:21 Civ. 1297 (BEN) (BLM), 2021 WL 5140195, at *4 (S.D. Cal. Nov. 4, 2021) (“under the Hague Convention, a party may serve documents in several ways that would not require a court order under Rule 4(f)(1) because they are authorized by international agreement”).

Accordingly, Plaintiff's service of Bahnsen under Rule 4(f)(1) obviates the need for him to move for alternative service under Rule 4(f)(3). Plaintiff's motion (Dkt. No. 30) is therefore DENIED as moot. The Clerk is directed to issue a certificate of default as to Bahnsen for the reasons stated above, provided Plaintiff's pending application is otherwise proper. (See Dkt. Nos. 28 & 29).

SO ORDERED.

No tweets since late November and the website is gone as well.

Things are not looking good for shareholders.

I think someone attempted to initiate action for securities fraud against Kate Bahnsen; QED Connect, Inc on April 17 2024. I believe that's it for Kate. I think she has giving up. It does not look good for QEDN.

Bandari v. QED Connect, Inc.

GARY STEIN, United States Magistrate Judge: By his submission dated July 25, 2024, pro se Plaintiff Jalandher Bandari moves for an order permitting alternative service on Defendant Nanny Katharina Bahnsen (“Bahnsen”) via postal mail to her address in Medellin, Colombia. (Dkt. No. 30). Plaintiff’s motion is DENIED as moot for the reasons below and the Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to issue a certificate of default as to Bahnsen.

It's not. No brokerage firm would complete a trade for such a low amount. You'd have to buy 34 shares for it to amount to even a penny trade.

It's most likely either an MM completing a trade that was split up or MMs working together to even out an odd lot position they hold.

But you'd probably get a better answer if you talked to your broker.

We traded one share today. How is that even possible?

We're saved boys. Someone traded 40 dollars worth of QEDN, now we're at 0.0004.

Today's lone trade of 50 shares at $.0003 is a penny and a half.

Soon. QEDN will be 0.0001. And watch it be a 100 share trade, Essentially, a one penny trade.

And here's that "soon" again.

"ASAP". Another word Kate doesn't know the meaning of.

"Soon". That tweet was from almost a month ago.

And the original announcement was from almost two months ago.

Yep. New low. No one knows if Kate is the CEO. No announcements. No nothing. Just stock price going down.

QEDN hit a new one year low today.

I'm thinking Christmas will come first.

Which will come first. The acquisition or financials finally posted at OTC Markets?

Place your bets.

Where did you see that? Can you post a link? As I posted earlier, I don't see any tweets after 2022.

GMSacha Inchi #QEDN update on acquisition and sales coming soon. ??

What's not clear is which came first, the CEO designation or Morales's bio. I would expect the latter since I saw it long ago. Designating him as CEO is new.

The company actually has a password to access their OTC Market page to enter information. OTC Market personnel doesn't decide who is put in as CEO. Is it a mistake? Possibly. But it would be Kate's mistake. Somebody could notify her of it and see if it is a mistake. Or not. If I were more curious, I'd contact her. But I'm not.

Seems pretty clear...

Has anyone noticed that all tweets from the past 2 years have been removed from the company's Twitter page?

It's always so complicated with Kate

Perhaps. Unless you click on the drop down, you'd have to go with what it shows.

Company Officers & Contacts
Carlos Andres Mora Morales CEO

https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/QEDN/profile

But COO does make more sense.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, Carlos Mora is the COO. Kate is still the CEO.

Aren't you surprised the company puts in a new CEO and you only know about it because someone happened to see his name on the company profile page of OTC Markets?

Meanwhile, there's no update on the news Kate announced, nor have any financials been submitted. Not the ones that are late, nor the one that's due today. No Late Notice posted, either.

Just checked to see what else may have happened that no one knows about and noticed this from the website.

I wonder if Carlos will reply to a shareholder asking questions.

QEDN gets a brand new CEO and u cant even wait for an update to decide where we can go now, pathetic

Heading for a one year low on volume and with the company being on "the brink of an exciting opportunity" and with "sales coming soon". Not what one would expect or hope for. And then, on top of all that goodness, there's a new CEO?

I can't wait to see what next week brings.

Bye bye QEDN...... We're leaving trips all right. Get ready for 4 zeros and then a number...

Well, how about that. I wonder when that happened and why shareholders weren't made aware of it until you came across it. Good catch, btw. Also, Kate tweeted this today.

New CEO Carlos Andres Mora Morales on OTCM. Hopefully he does a better job than Kate.

QEDN!

On the brink of the sink.
Q...Thanks for the support.

GMSacha Inchi $QEDN is on the brink of an exciting opportunity

A month is a long time to be on a brink. Lose your balance and ........ 💥

Shareholders have gotten used to Kate constantly tweeting out one thing or another about orders and meetings and such. But now she's gone silent after mentioning a big acquisition. Then, there's the whole "We're gonna post financials ASAP" thing.

So, will the sp maintain $.0005 during this self-imposed quiet period?

I really hope Kate pulls it off this time. I own a decent amount of shares(around 5 million). Not as much as people that bought in at low trip prices. In no way do I think I'll become a millionaire from QEDN. I'm just trying to make 5 to 10 thousand off my investment. Which is reasonable. But if this latest tweet about a possible deal with an 8 figure company turns into another weird thing where she buys a movie theater. How does one deal with that level of insanity....

QEDN well we got some volume ask slapping today

I don't like the way volume today was around the amount of unrestricted shares that freed up from a couple days ago. I'm guessing the company Kate is working with is Grupo Nutresa. It's almost certainly not NESTLE.

I wonder how many more updates Kate is going to give out before shareholders actually know something. This could go on for the rest of the year.
