CEO of Shrink Nanotechnologies (INKN) Dr. Norman Victor Meier

The new CEO of Shrink Nanotechnologies Dr. Norman Meier writes the following on his website at normanmeier.com :

"Later, at the age of 30, he decided to start his own business and only two and a half years later, he became a multi-millionaire. He had raised over $35 million for his companies and projects. He has founded, managed and owned 11 US companies, 5 Swiss companies, one Canadian company and several offshore companies. He took two companies public, had built three sales teams and over 60 people in six different countries were working for him.

Today, at the age of 35 he owns several businesses and is working as a consultant for several companies."

The following is a list of some of Mr. Meier's past companies:

- Hemis (HMSO)                                             Norman Meier was CEO                                                                                                                                                             

This company tanked and is dormant. Click the following link to learn what Douglas Oliver the chief geologist for Hemis at the time has to say about Norman Meier and Hemis:

Please watch the following two promotional video clips about Hemis corporation. The quality of the videos reflect the company perfectly:

In the video clip linked above you can see Chad Smanjak beside Norman Meier at 6.31 min. Mr. Smanjak is the fourth person from left and Mr. Meier is the fifth person from left. That group picture was taken during the Hemis conference in Las Vegas.

- Tecton (TTNC)                                                                Norman Meier was CEO

Sold to Micah Eldred after the company tanked and stayed dormant for years.

- MASS Petroleum (MASP) / XTOL Energy Inc. / LAUD Resources Inc.      Norman Meier was VP

During Mr. Meier's time at MASS Petroleum he was introduced to Chad Peter Smanjak who also was a shareholder at MASS. Mr. Smanjak was involved in a "Pump and  Dump" scheme promoting shares of Wave Uranium (see beleow).                     

- Wave Uranium / FBC                                   Norman Meier had 53.3% of the shares

Please read some of the almost unbelievable stuff that was going on:

See link below to that Mr. Norman Meier was indeed the major share holder of the Wave Uranium:

Please also read the following statement about the involvement of Chad Peter Smanjak in several "Pump and Dump" schemes and Wave Uranium is among them:

https://www.courthousenews.com/2013/04/16/56709.htm

- Condor Gold and Minerals                       Clive Massey (Norman Meier)

Norman Meier's business partner Cliver Massey fronted for this company. It actually belonged to Mr. Meier.

- Aviara Mining                                                 Norman Meier CEO

It's not in business anymore.

- Athena Capital Partners                             Norman Meier CEO

FINRA censured Athena because of the following and states in a report:

"Section 15(c) of the securities exchange act of 1934, SEC rule 15C2-4, FINRA rule 2010 – Athena Capital Partners, Inc. participated in a contingent private placement offering of securities conducted by an entity and, instead or requiring investors’ funds to be deposited into a bank escrow account as required by SEC rule 15C2-4, the documents for the offering provided that during the contingency period, investors’ funds would be deposited into a savings account operated and controlled by the entity. The firm also negligently omitted material facts from the offering documents; the documents did not disclose to investors that the issuer's founder and principal had outstanding federal and state tax liens and civil judgments for unpaid debts totaling over $4 Million."

- Westbridge Oil and Gas (as Victor Burrell Meier)          Norman Meier CEO

Please read the following:

Here some info why Victor Burrell Meier is in fact Norman Meier:

https://investorsdoyourresearch.wordpress.com/

 

- Refco Minerals              Clive Massey / Natasha Waite

Like Condor Gold and Minerals Clive Massey fronted for Norman Meier only this time with Mr. Meier’s right hand Natasha Waite.

 

- Syngentis                                         Norman Meier CEO

- Aurum Corporation                      Norman Meier CEO

- Stratos Gold Corporation          Norman Meier CEO

- Allegra Corporation                     Norman Meier CEO

- Sirius Corporation                        Norman Meier CEO

- Sedona AG                                       Norman Meier CEO

- HiQ consulting                               Norman Meier CEO

- Ecologics Corporation (as Victor Meier)                             Norman Meier CEO

- Novodermica Corporation (as Victor Meier)                   Norman Meier CEO

- Nevada Business Experts                                                          Norman Meier CEO

                                www.nvbusinessexpert.com

- American Geologics LLC (Edwin “Eddie” Meier) was bought by Shrink Nanotechnologies

Shrink Nanotechnologies recently bought American Geologics LLC. We learn that Edwin Meier founded it. Edwin Meier is also the father of Norman Meier. American Geologics was registered through Norman Meier’s company American Incorporation Services, Inc. aka Nevada Business Experts.

- PWM AG / Corumel Minerals Corp /  Prospero Minerals Corp.                Norman Meier CEO

These companies were all a scam:

- LEAP Institute LLC / Swiss Equity Trust GmbH                  Norman Meier CEO

- Wylie Foundation                                                                        Norman Meier CEO?

Here is information about Wylie Foundation on Mr. Meier's own website:                                            http://www.normanmeier.com/wylie_foundation.htm

 Charitable organizations must be registered. There are no information about Wylie Foundation to be found anywhere other than Mr. Meier's own website.

- United Oil and Gas (Natasha Waite)                                      Norman Meier is possibly involved

- Tristar Energy (Natasha Waite)                                            Norman Meier is possibly involved

The only company in this list that is actually doing something is Mr. Meier's Nevada Business Experts which offers incorporation services. It's the exact same business model Natasha Waite was involved with all her life at EastBiz where Mr. Meier registered most of his companies in the past. By the way Shrink, Aviara Mining and Nevada Business experts share the same phone number and Shrink and Nevada Business experts have the exact same address.

Every other company in this list Norman Meier was involved with went out of business, never made any business in the first place or had some irregularities. To be faire Sedona AG however is still alive and belongs to someone else now. Mr. Meier's track record doesn't seem as flawless as he wants everybody to believe.

That brings me to the next topic, Dr. Norman Meier's education is a scam like most of his former companies:

Norman Meier has a PhD in Human Behavior, an MBA and a BA, all from Newport University in Switzerland. (Source: http://www.normanmeier.com/about.htm )

Is Newport University an accredited institution?

We have checked with the relevant official sites (including the CHEA and GetEducated.com) and found that Newport University is not recognized by any of the accreditation agencies officially accepted by the Department of Education of the US to carry out accreditation of higher education institutions. Hence the gentleman's claim of Newport University being internationally recognized does not tally with the facts. In addition, contrary to the gentleman's claim that Newport University has been re-designated as Janus University, we have indeed been able to reach Newport's website: http://www.newportuniversity.edu.lv   but this time the site claims that Newport is now located in Europe! The website of Janus University, California (http://www.janusuniversity.edu/) was not reachable.

http://www.powerof3consultants.com/news-views-information/isnewportuniversitycaliforniaakajanusuniversityaccredited

That's already bad enough at it is but here comes the real kicker. When Norman Meier received his diplomas from Newport back then his father Dr. Edwin Meier (aka Eddie) was in charge of the Newport University Switzerland Campus. It gets a little bit confusing when you start to look a little closer because Mr. Eddie Meier ran Newport University under the wing of Swiss Management Academy (SMA) and it was located at Neuhofstrasse 8, 8600 Dubendorf. That's the exact same address Norman Meier uses for his company Norman Meier International.

(sources:

His father Prof. Dr. Eddie Meier is a professor in psychology and gave seminars and taught courses all his life... (http://www.normanmeier.com/blog/)

http://www.moneyhouse.ch/en/u/p/switzerland_campus_of_newport_university_usa_CH-320.7.031.265-9.htm

http://www.moneyhouse.ch/en/u/sma_swiss_management_academy_ag_CH-320.3.033.105-6.htm

 

It's safe to say that Mr. Norman Meier probably didn't have to study too hard to get the diplomas handed to him by his father. Read the following article in which Eddie Meier gets mentioned:

... Edwin Meier, who posed as a professor... (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.ktipp.ch/themen/beitrag/1024443/PWM_Geld_verlieren_mit_De_Giorgi&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dedwin%2Bmeier%2Bkassensturz%26hl%3Den%26tbo%3Dd%26biw%3D950%26bih%3D1044&sa=X&ei=TckAUciIJIO0iQKl2oGQBw&ved=0CD0Q7gEwAg)

Yes, Edwin Meier was involved with PWM AG / Corumel / Prospero. It was a scam. That was Norman Meier's entry to the world of penny stocks.

 

Another very confusing thing is that when you try to look up Norman Meier on LinkedIn you'll find confusing profiles. In one of them he claims the following:

Education

United States Naval Academy Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.), Urban Education and Leadership 2013 – 2018 (expected)

United States Military Academy at West Point

I was unable to find any information concerning such a program.

 

Maybe you should give Dr. Norman Victor Meier a call at his office to clarify questions you might have after reading this or pay him a visit at:

The truth and facts about Norman V. Meier

#4Consumer Comment

Sun, September 22, 2013

Dear Mr. Norman Victor Meier

If you would have taken the time to read through this review carefully, you would realize that copy pasting your own text from your website www.normanmeier.com (which at this point is being "updated" for over two weeks), does not prove that these allegations are wrong.

Let me point out a few facts that you should have addressed on a more professional level. You keep posting all over the internet, on your website and now here, that you have a MBA, BBA and PhD, you keep saying that people who consider your degrees fake and from a fraudulent school, are in the wrong. However you keep posting the same text over and over again instead of proving  the world, that you are right and everybody who says other wise is wrong. Why don't you post your degrees? Is it because Newport University Switzerland's diplomas/degrees have your father's (Edwin Meier), George Kuenzli or even your own signature on them? Is there even a diploma/degree? As for your PhD, you must have written a dissertation in order to get one, why don't you make that public to those people who accuse you? Set the records straight, once and for all!

You constantly use past tense in your rebuttal, "has been licensed", which means you no longer are, yet in another paragraph you write "He is officially licensed to sell securities", yet you have no active FINRA license.

You mention that you founded a Swiss financial service firm which was licensed by the Swiss Banking Commission, why don't you mention the name of that firm? If you just brag around without details and facts nobody is going to take this serious. Mention facts! Which company Norman Meier?

"Norman Meier was the CEO of a FINRA licensed broker dealer in USA and CEO and president of a two public mining exploration companies" - here again you mention no names, is it Athena Capital Partners? President of two public mining companies? Hemis Corporation? Tecton Uranium Corporation? Both bankrupt and millions of dollars in losses, let me be exact. Hemis losses: $24'081'890!!! The SEC filing states:  "$24’081’890.00 was mainly funded through equity financing" - same goes for Tecton Uranium Corporation.

"He was the founder and major shareholder of three sales organizations in Switzerland" - NAMES? Which ones?

You also write "Hemis was a success for initial investors". Which ones? Investors like yourself, your other companies, your consultants and your whole sales team? "Out of your 500 European investors MOST of them invested in the initial financing round". What does MOST mean to anybody, do you have any facts? You go on in your rebuttal with such vague descriptions, like A LOT, ALMOST ALL, SOME, MANY…… why can't you show facts? Because there are none, and if there were, they would be so bad you would discredit all your bragging and glory about your person and your achievements.

Than you do the old BLAME GAME, where you blame the economic depression in 2008, however we all know that Gold still constantly was rising. Solid and professional companies survive even economic down turns, companies that invest their investor's money into projects and not distribute them amongst various people to keep the scam going. You paid your "consultants" your other companies, stock promoters/manipulators and lawyers.

"Hemis was a success story". Where do you see success with over 24 million in losses? Because you artificially inflated the price with stock promoters such as Chad P. Smanjak (who is now a convicted felon) and Jordan Shapiro who you have known since FBC Holdings/Wave Uranium? A lot on that subject too.... Was it a success for you? Did you sell your shares and cash out so you could move to Carlsbad in San Diego and live it up? Start over and create new Hemis/Tecton clones?

"His former business Private Equity Trust GmbH HAS a license", is it former or does it have a license? It's very confusing to understand what you mean, everything is convoluted just like most of your ventures.

You also write "There is A LOT of false information in the report and A LOT of companies are listed Norman Meier either has NO association with, was merely a consultant or is no longer associated with."

Again, "A LOT"  means nothing, maybe you should list the EXACT false information, explain the EXACT names of companies. It also doesn't matter if you are no longer associated with a company, whatever you have done while working for a company doesen't go away just because you are NO LONGER associated with that particular company. I am sure Chad P Smanjak was no longer associated with the company he finally got charged with fraud and manipulation and was arrested by the FBI.

"Norman Meier has never been charged nor convicted of any fraud." This still doesn't mean you haven't committed any fraud, or that you weren't involved with people that did commit fraud, only you know if you have done anything fraudulent or not, if you have, you just haven't been caught yet.

"CEO of SEVERAL public companies" - Why don't you list them all with names?

"These postings are simply the uninformed opinion of a SMALL number of people that were angry when a stock fell in price. Markets are volatile and every investment bears risk. This is simply the nature of the business."

Simply, I hope you can sleep at night telling yourself that, yes every investment has it's risk, however this is no excuse to what you have done and are still doing.

Do you really believe it's only a small number of people? How do you know?

Truth or Fiction? Facts are the only proof, as long as you cannot set the records straight and give detailed information and facts about what you are being accused of, your copy and pasting from your website is worth nothing, it discredits you even more. And maybe before stooping so low to write reviews about yourself and calling people "idiots" you should take a good look into the mirror.

False online allegations

Hello Lynette Gubler and Douglas Oliver

it appears that you have made it your personal mission to destroy my reputation. You are disgruntled employees and you don't even have the courage to write your own name and to show your true identity. 

Here are some facts and truths about my person:

Norman Meier’s financial career is really impressive. He has been in financial industry for over 19 years, he has a MBA and Ph D in Human Behavior, he has built up client base of over 3000 clients worldwide, he has 15 finance diplomas and designations, he has raised over $400 million for all kinds of financial products from private clients and $600 million from institutional clients. He has been licensed in Switzerland, Canada and the US to sell securities and his record is absolutely clean and perfect. 

In 2011 he became licensed with FINRA in the US and got his Series 7 and Series 63 license. He is officially licensed to sell securities in the US and has a clean record. In order to get licensed in the US a person must undergo a FBI security check otherwise that person cannot get licensed. Norman Meier has never had an issue with the law and has never arrested in his life. 

Norman Meier has been an investment professional since 1995. He has held executive positions with top-tier global investment firms such as MAN Investments and AWD in Switzerland, and Canaccord Capital Corporation in Canada. He also founded a Swiss financial services firm, which has been licensed by the Swiss Banking Commission and registered with a self-regulatory organization. Mr. Meier has well-established relationships with institutional investors in both North America and Europe.

Norman Meier is highly educated. He has a BBA, MBA and Ph D in Human Behavior from Newport University USA and Switzerland. His MBA has a concentration in “Interpersonal Relationship & Communication” and his Ph D is concentrated in “Personnel Management”.

He had originally received the Swiss Matura Typus D (languages) and went to the University of Zurich to study Psychology. After his service in the army, he received a Financial Planning Designation of AWD Switzerland where he worked for over six years. He continued to journey to Canada where he finished several courses and received designations in from the Canadian Securities Institute (equivalent to FINRA in the USA): Canadian Securities Course (CSC), Derivatives Fundamental Course (DFC), Conduct & Practices Handbook Course (CPH), Options Licensing Course (OLC), Ethics Case Study Course, Technical Analysis Course (TAC), Investment Management Techniques (IMT), Options Strategies Course (OSTC), Portfolio Management Techniques (PMT), Agricultural Markets – Risk Management (ARM) and he became a member of the FCSI – Fellowship of the Canadian Securities Institute. Norman Meier also received the following two financial designations Canadian Investment Manager Designation and Derivatives Market Specialist Designation.

Norman Meier was the CEO of a FINRA licensed broker dealer in USA and CEO and president of a two public mining exploration companies. He was the founder and major shareholder of several gold and uranium exploration companies in the US and major shareholder of three sales organizations in Switzerland.

Norman Meier was a financial advisor in Canada for Canaccord Capital – the largest independent Brokerage firm in Canada. He established and managed portfolios, integrated risk management strategies, evaluated performance models for existing portfolios, analyzed global portfolios, researched markets and products, provided investment advice, traded in all kinds of securities including options, built a client book, provided statistical analysis for his clients, solved financial problems, developed and implemented systems designed to generate better returns and raised money for private placement financings. 

Hemis was a success for initial investors. Norman Meier was president of Hemis Corporation, a gold exploration company that started it business in 2005. He managed to get over 500 European investors and most of them invested in the initial financing round at $0.27 ($0.55 before forward stock split). The first listing price was at $0.80 and the stock rose up to $3.50. The stock traded mainly between $1.00 and $1.50 for about 12 months and over 50 Million shares were traded in the first year. The company was valued at over $300 Million at its highest point and Norman Meier was the main shareholder. Almost all initial shareholders were able to sell their shares in the market at a profit. Some even participated in the capital guarantee program and sold half of their share position back to the company for the initial investment sum that they had invested. There were a lot of happy investors who profited from Hemis.

Unfortunately, due to the economic depression in 2008 and the consequently the falling stock price, the company like many others as well had to stop its work programs in 2010.

Even though Hemis eventually had to stop its operations, it was a success story. Many investors made a lot of money and were happy to be invested into the Hemis stock.

Norman Meier has very high standards and besides having an impeccable record with FINRA and all other financial regulators around the world he was also awarded with the membership of the Fellowship of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI) which is the highest honor in the financial services industry in Canada.

His former business Private Equity Trust GmbH has a license from the Swiss Banking Commission (EBK) to sell investment products and is member of the largest Swiss self-regulatory organization (SRO): VQF – Verein für Qualitätssicherung von Finanzdienstleistungen.

False information and accusations

There is a lot of false information in the report and a lot of companies are listed that Norman Meier either has NO association with, was merely a consultatant or is no longer associated with. Norman Meier is working as a consultant for many companies.

Norman Meier has never been charged nor convicted of any fraud. There has never been any investigation of Dr. Meier as he has never broken any securities laws. He has been the CEO and director of several public companies in the US, Canada and Germany. He has had filings with the SEC, the TSX Exchange and the Frankfurt exchange and has always been 100% compliant with their laws and regulations. Internet blogs suggesting otherwise are simply not true and completely unfounded. These postings are simply the uninformed opinion of a small number of people who were angry when a stock fell in price. Markets are volatile and every investment bears risk. This is simply the nature of the business.

Norman Meier was licensed by FINRA in 2011 with the Series 7 and 63 as an Investment professional. As a matter of licensing in the financial industry the FBI does a full background check. If the allegations posted online were in any way true, he would not have been approved to get his broker's license. With this said, any allegations and accusations are totally unfounded and untrue.

Unfortunately, there is somebody out there who is trying to personally attack his reputation and character. Unfortunately, the Internet is a place where every iditot can write something about anybody whether based on truth or fiction.
