I don't know about breweries in particular, I do remember years ago Tony making a big deal about APRU becoming some kind of "conglomerate" and that's how he justified buying all this worthless OTC stocks, Mystik, Elev8 Hemp, etc. etc.
TBH, he just strikes me as a person who thinks real life operates like Monopoly, and if he just buys a whole bunch of worthless businesses, they will magically double their revenue once you get 3 of the same colour.
Personally, I don't see how anyone can trust a CEO to turn around a dozen failed businesses when he's proven incapable of turning around even the first 1.
Didn’t Tony say something about buying more……
breweries?
He made it sound like that was part of the bigger or longer term strategy.
Yet they can’t acquire one.

Tony "closed" the Lena purchase 2 years ago, on MLK day. Tony also recently "Finalized" the Lena purchase 2 months ago.
Give it a few more months and we should see another video of Tony scribbling on papers, putting them in a fedex envelope, and promising this is the final-final purchase contract.
So, Tony did acquire Lena nearly three years ago!! Why didn't anyone tell me?? All this time, I've been thinking he's been blowing smoke up people's backsides about acquiring Lena. I guess I was wrong. lol

Maybe you've forgotten that Tony blocked me. Back in December, I sent him a Twitter DM with questions about the OS reduction, no samples, and why we haven't heard about many things, like I've posted here. I began the DM by saying I'm asking these questions respectfully even though I'm disgusted (I mentioned this, too). I didn't receive a response and, instead, was blocked. I'm not buying into anything that anyone is selling. I'm using my own judgment based on my perception of the company and experience with it. I also am not selling my shares. If another long-time shareholder is blocked for wanting to get answers to questions, what would that person do?
I've supported Tony in the past and have given him the benefit of the doubt many times, but he should come clean about everything he's mentioned or announced. This is the least he owes to his shareholders. Simple.

No, but if complicated perhaps 5 months. Now,.....
the question for Chef and Tony is, why haven't the shares been cancelled?
Beneficial ownership has to be clear.
The reason Tony paid to have it cancelled was so he could control APRU.
Further, I didn't run scams, I was paid to promote tickers, just like Tony paid Kyle, who did those videos. I disclosed as required. That's how they know I promoted tickers.
The other question for Chef is why he is still promoting APRU in light of Tony's lies to him.
Is he in on it?
He goes to see Ross and never asked about ownership?

The lost CERT wasn't Tony's, so he can't......
do anything to resolve it.
Read the filings, he said the CERT(s) was lost but he already paid to have it cancelled.
Whoever he paid to cancel the CERT(s) hasn't resolved the issue.
Which begs the question, why not?
This was from 5 years ago,
Preferred Stock
The Company has been authorized to issue 170,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is expressly vested with the authority to divide any or all, of the Preferred Stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of each series so established, within certain guidelines established in the Articles of Incorporation.
On July 17, 2019, the Company canceled 1,000,000 shares of its series A preferred convertible stock to LiveWire Ergogenics, Inc.
At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 there are 3,250,000 and 3,250,000 shares of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, respectively. These shares have been bought back by the company but certificates are lost and shareholders are working to get final cancelation.

Here's what it takes to cancel shares.

There is still 3,250,000 Preferred A shares outstanding.

Well, this begs the question: Why isn't Tony doing anything to resolve issues? My answer, aka my opinion, is that there are two possibilities:
1.) Tony doesn't want to do anything to resolve the issues, i.e., he doesn't care.
2.) Tony is incompetent and doesn't know how to resolve the issues.
To help this company, if Tony even wants to help it, he needs to resign as CEO and have someone who can handle the above two points step in as CEO. Tony can remain as an adviser if he and the new CEO decide this would be good for the company. Otherwise, Tony would have to sever all ties to the company.
As things are going, Tony will never step down as CEO, so points 1 and 2 will persist.

Just another thing that Tony has failed to explain. I guess he thinks if he doesn't say anything about anything, people will forget about everything. I forgot about this one, but there are some I haven't forgotten about. Thanks, Tony.
That was posted Jan 27, 2023, after they......
missed the MLK Day date.

Why would Tony offer this deal only to paper shareholders but not offer it to digital/brokered shareholders?
I do remember discussing this preferred share offer in the past, and as I recall, it would allow effectively unlimited dilution by the preferred class.
It seems insane to hold onto common shares if there's a real prospect that the common class could be diluted into to oblivion by the preferred class. it makes me think that common shareholders just aren't paying attention.
Shares bought in the market wouldn’t be……
available for cancellation. It’s paper holders that haven’t deposited their shares.
You cancel the shares, get Preferred shares in return based on the amount you cancel, hold them for a year and you can convert that into TWICE as many shares as you had before.
So, if ALL 3B shares were cancelled today, and Tony (ahem) uplisted, a year from now those 3B shares could be converted into 6B.
I think that’s a big reason it lacks appeal.
