OG Nation and HORP&B Join Forces

We all know that mud slinging is modus operandi when it comes to politics.  But in the corporate world, “mud bombing” is the more appropriate term.   For some reason, our society has deemed that honesty and fairness are virtues in one’s personal life, but that in the boardrooms of even the largest and most respected corporations, it’s no holds barred when it comes to allegations and outright lies. Why?  Because business is business.   When Judgment Day comes for these corporate bullies, I seriously doubt their double-standard argument will fling the pearly gates wide open.

My law firm, Heygood, Orr, Reyes, Pearson & Bartolomei, will be handling a multi-million dollar lawsuit filed on behalf of OG Nation against InvestSource and others. The founding shareholder of OG Nation is Jim Brown, the renowned actor and former fullback for the NFL Cleveland Browns.  He is also known for founding Amer-I-Can, an organization that teaches life management skills and personal growth techniques to inner-city gang members and prison inmates.  HORP&B is proud to represent Jim and OG Nation, a leading consumer beverage manufacturer, in this lawsuit.

Not only did InvestSource and others make OG Nation the direct target of their mud bombing by disseminating false and misleading information about the company, they caused some major collateral damage, including a significant drop in the price of OG Nation’s stock.

OG Nation Engages Leading Litigation Law Firm; Files Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit Against InvestSource and Others Responsible For Disseminating False, Misleading and Unauthorized Press
Monday, January 28, 2008 / Gilbert, Arizona

OG Nation, Inc. (OTC: OGNA), on behalf of its shareholders and its board of directors, has engaged the law firm of Heygood, Orr, Reyes, Pearson & Bartolomei (www.reyeslaw.com) and charged them to aggressively prosecute an action against a number of parties, including InvestSource, Inc., as well as other individuals and entities, related to their dissemination of false and misleading information about the company.

Commenting on the unauthorized, false and misleading information that was recently disseminated by InvestSource through MarketWire, as well as other activities InvestSource and others have been undertaking – to the detriment of the company and its shareholders - Giovanni Luciano, CEO of OG Nation stated, “We are not in the business of filing lawsuits.  On the contrary, we are in the business of designing, marketing and selling delicious beverages to our customers.  However, when our executive team and our board were shocked by the issuance of the recent press release about our company, and of course the subsequent dramatic drop in the price of our stock on unusual volume, we decided that we would not stand by while these bullies tried to put their boots on our corporate neck.”

“Filing this lawsuit is our response to the business practices of the parties that we trusted to help make this company a publicly traded company.  Heygood is the right law firm to help us get our message across to the defendants – that we are not going to stand by and let them destroy our company – our ability to obtain financing, our ability to operate and our ability to create value for our shareholders.”

Mr. Luciano added, “Just as we are proud that we have stood up to the bullies at InvestSource, we are even happier to report that the allegations made in the InvestSource press release are patently false.  We currently have thousands of cases of Hydro Power and Atomic Dogg in inventory.  And we are in the final stages of our negotiations with one of the largest beverage distributors on the Eastern Seaboard.  We cannot guarantee the success of everything we are doing, but as of the date of the InvestSource press release we were in an outstanding position to roll out our products and serve our markets.  Just like our founding shareholder Jim Brown did when he faced formidable odds in the NFL, we intend to fight on, use our strengths and continue to break through all barriers, including the most recent ones put in front of us by the defendants to this lawsuit.
