Maybe while he’s selling stuff he can sell the business? I’m generally very optimistic but the longer this drags out the more I fear that there’s merit to the fraud theories. Otherwise while would simply actions take this much time??

It's getting a lot worse as each day passes with no answers from the company. No recent public updates for shareholders and still no filings for what we were expecting to be monumental sales and revenue figures based on Otiko's past PRs nearly a year ago. Based on some new research, the assumptions shared here that Otiko likely got caught up in some sort of fraud do seem more realistic now. IMO, it now seems like their accountant wouldn't sign off on the filings because there were glaring inaccuracies, potential fraud, or other reason(s) too and she's not going to implicate herself in this and kill off her career if that is the case.

Search for Otiko in the publicly available information in here fastpeoplesearch.com/ and according to public sale records on Zillow and Realtor.com, it looks like he just offloaded a multi million $ home a few weeks ago. The same info about him comes up for his wife too on these sites too.

It's starting to really look like he went on a multi-million dollar home shopping spree (with company funds?), got caught up in potential or actual fraud with his filings - assuming no sales revenue figures that backed the previous PRs, missing funds, misappropriation of funds, or other, and may be dumping the multi million home to either put the funds back on the books for the filings, cover big legal fees, preparing for a major lawsuit, on the run, or other reasons. But who knows for sure yet since one can only speculate on what is actually going on based on the information available.

Multiple people here have claimed that the IR guy said the filings would be done soon. Blah blah blah. It's been the same song for several weeks and we still got nothing. It does not take over 7 months to get your filings in order no matter how many excuses you try to make up. Something is very off here and it is really starting to stink like there is potentially some serious fraud in play with this company. I really do hope I'm wrong, but it's not looking too great. Hopefully their IR guy and Otiko actually do get the filings published and have public updates on what the issues were, what has been corrected, and the plans moving forward to win back some trust. However, if and when the filings do ever get published and if the one million products and sales revenue from the Nigeria dealings are not included, then we'll all know that this was all total BS and it's the last straw for the company and they can expect class action and SEC lawsuits to follow.

Hoping for the best but am now expecting the worst. Prove us all wrong otiko!

TBD...

For Viaderma, this type of behavior of ignoring investors while being late to file is very normal. When they do come through it's usually very positive for the stock but it's a waiting game. They are not run like a real pubic company...

Those two major contentions are not backed up by the financial reports and corrected PRs.

Toxic Debt

3/16/21 PR announced VDRM had paid off all toxic, convertible debt and was debt free.
6/24/21 PR announced 3/16/21 press release was not accurate. Internal review found NOT ONLY outstanding convertible debt of $300,358, as of 3/31/21, but also UNRECORDED and NON-DISCLOSED additional liability of $200,000. Restated financial reports were then required and issued.
Last issued financial report (3Q24) Balance Sheet STILL shows $322,939 of convertible notes payable.

Use of His Own Resources Assertion

6/6/24 PR reports that a loan of $700,000 to himself, for purportedly having funded many of Company’s expenses over past few years, included in 1Q24 financial report, had been paid back in full, on 5/28/24.
Actually, there was and is no evidence on the balance sheet of these purported expenses funded by him, not to mention that is not how such expenses would be "paid back" anyway, unless he was just going to forgive himself of the loan.

Something in the works, which may still work out! Shit happens when dealing internationally. Do you KNOW it is a done deal? I'm honest enough with myself to know I don't have all I need to go on.

Dr. Otiko has hired on around ten folks and is dealing with those issues, along with the other issues. My understanding is Dr. Otiko was spitting mad when these recent issues came up. That is what I want to hear!

Remember the company doing promos for VDRM who took stock in payment? They were not a small, no resource company! They saw something!

VDRM goes down, Dr. Otiko is the biggest loser, financially! He loses much more than any of us. Again, the bitching does nothing positive, but do as you will!

Just curious: What has all the bitching, moaning and groaning accomplished😪😪😪??? 🤔🤔 Not a damn thing! VDRM is not aapl, nor some other Nasdaq stock, with huge resources. Dr. Otiko has limited resources and for a few years has been weeding out the bad folks who hitched a ride. DR. OTIKO HAS USED MUCH OF HIS OWN RESOURCES, PUTTING THEM INTO VDRM WHILE RIGHTING THE SHIP! Remember the toxic convertibles? All gone due to Dr. Otiko!

My suggestion would be to mellow and be patient! I GUARANTEE few have close to the level of info needed to criticize! MELLOW!

Things are proceeding and all will be well, in my view! PATIENCE!

I hear you brother. Turn off your screen ....if it happens it is going to be a long haul. By "it", I mean relisting. Once they post financials, they will then have to start from scratch and apply to be relisted. That is going to take a good 3 months based on what I have been reading. Maybe we'll get lucky.

Another week past due and nothing from these guys. They have no more excuses left. IMO Otiko was likely caught up in some sort of fraud and is trying to get over it with his accountant and lawyer which is delaying the filings, if they ever even do get filed and published. If the 2024 sales numbers are not included in the next filings, then we'll all know it was all BS PRs once again like what he did with Dubai deals years ago. If that is the case, then this is fraud and there will be massive lawsuits filed against Otiko. Enough is enough! Hoping for the best but something nefarious seems more likely these days. TBD.

The introduction of the **OTCID Basic Market** on **July 1, 2025**, by OTC Markets Group is designed to enhance transparency and investor confidence in the OTC market by replacing the **OTC Pink Current** tier with stricter disclosure and governance requirements. Below, I’ll analyze whether this new tier is likely to boost investor confidence and attract more capital to the OTC market, with a focus on companies like **SMC Entertainment (SMCE)**, given your prior questions.

### Will OTCID Bring Investor Confidence?
The OTCID tier is likely to increase investor confidence for several reasons, though the impact may vary across companies and investor types:

1. **Enhanced Disclosure Standards**:
- **Requirement**: Companies must file quarterly and annual disclosures via OTC’s Disclosure & News Service (DNS), SEC’s EDGAR, or SEDAR (available in 2025), adhering to GAAP standards. They also need annual management certifications detailing officers, shareholders, shell status, and convertible debt.
- **Impact on Confidence**: These requirements address a key criticism of OTC Pink markets—lack of transparency. By mandating consistent disclosures and certifications, OTCID reduces information asymmetry, making it easier for investors to assess a company’s financial health and risks. For example, SMCE’s recent SEC filings (e.g., Form 8-K for acquisitions) align with these standards, potentially reassuring investors if maintained.
- **Evidence**: OTC Markets’ blog states that OTCID “offers investors a new tier of companies that provide transparency into management, major shareholders, and outstanding convertible debt.” This suggests a deliberate effort to appeal to risk-averse investors wary of opaque OTC stocks.

2. **Clear Tier Differentiation**:
- **Structure**: OTCID replaces Pink Current, while non-compliant companies will be relegated to **Pink Limited** (limited disclosure) or **Expert Market** (minimal disclosure, high risk). This creates a clearer hierarchy, signaling that OTCID companies meet higher standards.
- **Impact on Confidence**: Investors can more easily identify companies committed to transparency, reducing the stigma of OTC markets as “speculative” or “risky.” For SMCE, qualifying for OTCID (likely, given its current Pink Current status) would position it as a more credible investment compared to peers downgraded to lower tiers.
- **Example**: Companies like **Hapbee Technologies (HAPBF)** and **E-Cite Motors (VAPR)**, already approved for OTCID, benefit from this perception, as their compliance signals reliability to investors.

3. **Verified Profiles and Share Data**:
- **Requirement**: Companies must maintain verified profiles on www.otcmarkets.com and submit share data via the Transfer Agent Verified Shares Program or directly.
- **Impact on Confidence**: Transparent share structures and verified data reduce risks of manipulation (e.g., pump-and-dump schemes), a common concern in OTC markets. For SMCE, providing clear data on its Series C Preferred Stock or common shares could alleviate investor concerns about dilution or hidden liabilities.

4. **Challenges to Confidence**:
- **Implementation Risks**: If many companies fail to meet OTCID standards by July 1, 2025, and are downgraded to Pink Limited or Expert Market, it could reinforce negative perceptions of the broader OTC market, even if OTCID itself is credible.
- **Cost Concerns**: The $3,500 application fee and ongoing DNS subscription costs may deter smaller or financially strained companies, potentially reducing the number of OTCID-listed firms and limiting investor options.
- **Market Perception**: OTC markets still carry a speculative reputation compared to exchanges like NASDAQ. While OTCID is a step forward, it may not fully overcome this bias for institutional investors.

### Will OTCID Attract More Money to the OTC Market?
The OTCID tier has the potential to attract more capital, but the extent depends on several factors:

1. **Increased Retail Investor Interest**:
- **Why**: Retail investors, who dominate OTC trading, value transparency. OTCID’s disclosures and certifications make it easier to research companies like SMCE, potentially drawing more retail capital. For instance, SMCE’s reported $5.5 billion revenue (from our prior conversation) could attract attention if backed by audited financials on OTCID.
- **Evidence**: OTC Markets notes that OTCID aims to “support investor confidence by providing greater transparency.” Posts on X suggest retail investors are optimistic about OTCID, with one user (@OTC_Insider, October 2024) stating, “OTCID could bring more eyes to quality OTC stocks.”
- **Limitation**: Retail investors may still shy away if share prices remain volatile or if companies like SMCE trade at low prices (e.g., sub-$0.01, though no recent SMCE price data is available).

2. **Potential Institutional Interest**:
- **Why**: Institutional investors typically avoid OTC markets due to risk and liquidity concerns. OTCID’s higher standards could appeal to smaller funds or venture capital firms seeking growth opportunities in micro-cap stocks.
- **SMCE Context**: SMCE’s acquisitions (e.g., Bateau Asset Management, Flax Tech) and fintech focus could attract institutional interest if it meets OTCID standards and provides audited financials. However, institutions may still prefer OTCQB or OTCQX for stricter governance.
- **Evidence**: OTC Markets’ data shows OTCQB and OTCQX tiers (with higher standards) already attract some institutional capital. OTCID, while less rigorous, could serve as an entry point.

3. **Market Liquidity and Capital Inflows**:
- **Why**: Transparent companies on OTCID may see increased trading volume, improving liquidity and attracting investors seeking easier entry/exit. For SMCE, qualifying for OTCID could boost trading activity, especially if its acquisitions (e.g., ChainTrade) gain traction.
- **Data**: OTC Markets reports that OTCQB and OTCQX tiers saw $300 billion in annual trading volume in 2024, suggesting transparency drives liquidity. OTCID could replicate this on a smaller scale.
- **Limitation**: If only a small number of companies qualify for OTCID (e.g., due to fees or compliance challenges), the tier’s impact on overall OTC capital inflows may be limited.

4. **Risks to Capital Attraction**:
- **Speculative Nature**: OTC markets, even with OTCID, remain riskier than major exchanges, deterring conservative investors.
- **Economic Context**: As of June 28, 2025, global market conditions (e.g., interest rates, economic growth) could influence capital flows to micro-cap stocks. No specific 2025 economic data is available, but a bearish market could reduce OTC investments.
- **Company-Specific Risks**: For SMCE, delays in acquisitions (e.g., Flax Tech’s February 2025 deadline) or unverified financials could undermine investor trust, even on OTCID.

### SMCE-Specific Outlook
For **SMC Entertainment (SMCE)**:
- **Confidence Boost**: Qualifying for OTCID would signal to investors that SMCE meets disclosure and governance standards, potentially increasing trust. Its SEC filings (e.g., Form 8-K for Bateau) and reported $5.5 billion revenue (if audited) could make it a standout on OTCID.
- **Capital Attraction**: OTCID listing could draw more retail investors to SMCE, especially if it clarifies its acquisition status (e.g., Bateau, Flax Tech) and share structure. However, attracting significant institutional capital may require uplisting to OTCQB or OTCQX later.
- **Action Needed**: SMCE must apply by **May 1, 2025** (or January 31, 2025, if an OTCIQ subscriber), pay the $3,500 fee, and ensure GAAP-compliant disclosures to secure OTCID status and maximize investor appeal.

### Conclusion
The **OTCID Basic Market**, launching July 1, 2025, is likely to **increase investor confidence** by enforcing transparency through disclosures, management certifications, and verified profiles. This should make OTCID-listed companies like SMCE more attractive to retail investors and, to a lesser extent, smaller institutional players. The tier’s success in **attracting more money** to the OTC market depends on widespread compliance, market conditions, and the number of companies achieving OTCID status. For SMCE, qualifying for OTCID could enhance its credibility and draw capital, provided it meets deadlines and maintains robust disclosures. However, the OTC market’s speculative nature may limit the overall capital influx compared to higher tiers like OTCQB or OTCQX.

Of course!!! If he wouldn’t have the necessary charisma to calm down some of these characters that call in from here: Otiko would have fired him long time ago. Only good thing from what I saw on these interactions, was, Rich still picking the phone. That is always a good sign after a company goes Expert Market/C.E.

They are not hiding… I knew Otiko will handle this situation anyways; he always provide fillings, he just got some small bad manners with ethics that need some work, thats all

Rich is a nice guy and very talkative every time I've spoken with him. I do think though that he is in the dark as to what the company is doing as he told me a few things early this year that never came to fruition. I take everything he says with a giant grain of salt 🙂 That said, I do always feel much better about the company after our discussions.

DB, I took your advice. I just spoke with Rich. Nice guy. He was very talkative. He believes (but couldn't confirm) that Chia has all of the information she needed to get financial statements completed for the the year ended 12/31/24 and for the quarter ended 3/31/25. He indicated that financial statements could be posted by the end of the week (but don't hold him to that). Regarding reinstatement for trading however, he knows nothing about the process to become qualified under OTCID. The good news is that they are working with an attorney in that regard, but he could not give any kind of timeline.

Overall his sentiment was very positive. The product works great and the company is still very much operating. He told me a number of stories of the product in use and its healing powers. We both agreed that getting exposure in the market place remains the critical piece. He believes that foreign markets are a much better forum for the product to take hold than in the US due to US red tape and big corporations that bully the competition. He made an interesting comment that if the product were to hit the shelves in CVS, it would fly off the shelves. IMHO, that was not indicative of a deal with CVS, it was more musing than anything else.

I feel much better now that VDRM will be trading again.

One thing I forgot about and I’m surprised no one else mentioned it. OTC markets is doing away with pink current July 1 and changing it to OTCID for companies that are current with filings. This could be really huge for the OTC and it’s coming soon. There could even be some sweet news releases companies are waiting to release until after then. Meant to bring more confidence in investors. Could be a big July for OTC. I’m loaded up ready to rock.
