Meretec and Meyado default on debt in MITL venture
Meretec and Meyado default on debt
Published on March 10, 2005 By roypearce In Welcome
On Feb 15, 2005 Meretec and Meyado defaulted on their debt for the Meretec zinking process. This event has caused Meyado to go on a marketing drive to cover over the issue. They have created the website www.meretec.com putting a glossy outlook on MITL / Meretec. They also issued legal suits against sites putting a negative spin on the situation. Martin Young, the director of both Meretec and Meyado has been desperate to salvage his reputation out of the debacle.

Martin Young couldn't afford a Marks and Sparks suit, never mind a bloody law suit.

What I would like to now is what involvement Roy Pearce has in
the company - I can remember what he did or didn't do with
Lucus (Feel the firm would be much better off with out his
involvement)

I Meet Roy Pearce once at Barkshire Polo club (not an evening to remember), not sure what Planet he was on!!! All I can say is since M.Y. took over (don't forget he was tricked into this by M.Lucas) we now have 20% of something compared to the 100% we had in nothing. This company was in debt , badly ran and advised until Martin believed in it and backed it with money - since then news has been slow but so much damage was done in the past (Take a look into past dealings of M.L. and R.P - very interesting reading) that who knows what to trust or who.

Has anyone else meet Pearce - would love to hear your comments and thoughts

Has anyone heard anymore about the status of Meretec. Were the bonds every paid back. They said they raised another $10 mln in pre-ipo financing to pay back the debt but nto sure if that happened. Has any heard of anyone from the Catalyst fund being able to get their hands on any of their money. Very interested in hearing from people who have invested with them. Thanks

And a group seems to be getting organized here: http://www.forespoke.com

 

Let's hope they come to something.
