Shorter, but pretty damn important #GNS update. The #SEC officially approved #NYSE American’s new $0.25 minimum trading-price rule today, BUT the effective date was PUSHED BACK from the originally proposed October 1, 2026 all the way out to July 1, 2027. For GNS, that changes the near term #chessboard considerably. The reverse split scenario that was starting to stare shareholders directly in the face this fall is no longer being driven by this specific October deadline. Instead, the amended effective date gives #GNS roughly nine additional months of runway, and the more you look at what is already moving inside the company, the more important that extra time becomes. This is not simply nine more months to hope something improves. A lot of the #flywheel is already spinning. - #Financials: GNS’s three operating businesses reached operational #profitability in Q4 2025, followed by $2.7 million in net profit from operations in Q1 2026 and $4.3 million in Q2. The August balance sheet update then showed $7.0 million in H1 net profit from operations on 156% year-over-year revenue growth, while net assets increased 57% to $106.6 million, liabilities fell 37% to $25.4 million, and the company reported that all third party debt had been repaid. Those latest H1 and balance sheet figures are unaudited management numbers currently undergoing review, but the broader operating direction is no longer a one quarter story. The trend is already there. The new question now is how far GNS can carry it. - #ASX: This one is further along than simply saying the dual-listing process is moving forward. GNS received initial feedback from ASX on its In-Principle Advice Application, is preparing its response with DLA Piper, remains in active dialogue with the exchange, and has stated that it estimates completing the process and listing on ASX in Q4 2026, subject to ASX review and approval. That target now sits months ahead of the July 1, 2027 $0.25 rule effective date. - #Jewel Bank / #JUSD: GNS owns a 9.9% stake in Jewel Financial and committed $5 million toward getting Jewel’s operations moving. Jewel already holds both a Bermuda banking license and a Class F digital-asset-business license, while JUSD is targeted for H2 2026. That matters because Jewel is not starting from scratch waiting for a regulatory framework to appear. The GENIUS Act is already law, and the additional runway gives that framework time to move deeper into implementation while JUSD and Jewel’s banking operations develop. - #CLARITY Act: This also gives the digital-asset market structure fight considerably more room to breathe. CLARITY is not law yet, and there are still political and procedural hurdles in front of it, but the July 2027 date gives that process time to continue through the 2026 midterms and, if necessary, into the next Congress. When you combine that with the #GENIUS Act already moving toward implementation, the regulatory environment Jewel is being built into could look materially different before this new #NYSE American hard floor ever becomes operative. - #Court cases: Litigation takes time, especially when motions, discovery fights, service issues, appeals and procedural arguments keep extending the calendar. Some GNS related matters could resolve sooner through rulings or settlements, especially if pressure continues building, but the larger cases can take years if the procedural fight continues. We have already watched that longevity play out with #Moe and #Ritz. Whether somebody thinks they should still be dragging nubs behind them at this point is almost beside the point...the courts move on court time. Nine more months gives those cases more room to progress/settle naturally before this specific exchange deadline becomes a capital structure issue again. - #AI and Genius City: This is another area I do not think should be treated like a future idea waiting to begin. GNS has already launched its full Genius OS AI-powered product suite, Student AI and Teacher AI had already scaled to hundreds of thousands of users, and management is positioning the platform as a higher-margin revenue driver. The company also opened the first phase of its $14 million Genius City project in Bali, tying physical locations into the broader AI education ecosystem. On top of that, GNS has begun building an AI treasury with exposure to private AI and technology companies. You can debate valuations, timing and which AI companies ultimately win, but the broader direction of capital and technology is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. The cat is out of the bag, and it is not going back in. None of those pieces need July 2027 to magically save them. They are already moving. What the additional runway does is give them more time to compound, mature and begin producing evidence before an October reverse split narrative can interrupt the story. And this last part is my #opinion, not something I can prove. I believe the looming reverse split narrative itself had become another tool helping reinforce what I believe to be manipulated downward price pressure on GNS. When traders believe a company is running directly toward a forced RS, that expectation becomes part of the trade whether the split has actually happened or not. It becomes something shorts can lean on, something longs become nervous about, and something the market begins pricing before the event ever occurs. Removing that immediate October clock takes one of those narratives off the board. That does not mean every listing risk disappeared, and it certainly does not guarantee the stock suddenly runs. NYSE American still retains other listing and discretionary enforcement authority, GNS still has to execute, ASX still requires approval, Jewel still has to launch successfully, legislation still has to make it through Congress, and litigation can always take longer than shareholders want. But the specific reverse split scenario that was staring GNS shareholders in the face because of the proposed October 1st hard floor is no longer being driven by that deadline. When I put everything together...the operating profitability already established across Q4, Q1 and Q2, the stronger balance sheet, Q4 ASX target, Jewel and JUSD, GENIUS Act implementation, potential CLARITY progress, continuing court cases, Genius City, Genius OS and the broader AI strategy...I do not see a company sitting still hoping time saves it. I see a flywheel that is already spinning, and today it was given more runway to build momentum before that specific $0.25 hammer can come down. For GNS, I see this as a CLEAR positive.

$GNS - The Domino Thesis Meets the Numbers is DONE and SAVED. 119 pages, 24 sections, 46 graphics, with 177 numbered source entries. The research and market cutoff remains November 6th, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EST. This morning’s reverse split news delayed my posting because I revised "Section 24: A Digger’s Perspective" to reflect where I stand NOW. That is a separately dated editorial update. The piece is long enough that it has to run across FOUR X Articles, and getting everything formatted takes a minute. I’m currently halfway through formatting Part 3...Article 2.5, if you will...and working through the night until all four are posted. If I finish at 11:30 p.m., it drops. If I finish at 3:00 a.m., it drops. I’m not sleeping until all four parts are up. I appreciate y’all’s patience, and I hope you all take something useful away from my work. By Retail, For Retail.

I’m proud to be a Marine, part of the greatest gun cult this world has ever known, and on our 251st birthday I’m thinking about the people who make me proud to say that. Somewhere in that collection of inner-city kids, country bumpkins, surfers, cowboys, nerds, jocks, misfits, and outright fucking weirdos, I found family. Plenty of them are people I probably never would have met otherwise, and a few are people I might have avoided if we’d met anywhere else. Then you spend enough time together to realize how much you’d do for somebody who still manages to annoy the absolute shit out of you. We came from the East Coast, West Coast, South and Midwest, from families with money and families just trying to get through the month. Black, white, brown, Native, Asian, with different beliefs, different problems and wildly different ideas about what qualified as a good time. We had the smart, the smart-ish, and Motor T, who are welcome to have somebody help them write a response to this (all jokes, I love my transport Bubba's). Living and working alongside somebody gives you plenty of opportunities to find out whether you can count on them, especially when everybody’s tired and things go to shit. The person whose life looked nothing like yours could become the person you trust most. I still don’t need to agree with every opinion another Marine has to recognize the values and common call that brought us together. People like to call the military “the one percent,” Marines actually are. Roughly 1 in every 171 Americans is either an active-duty Marine, a Marine Reservist, or a living Marine Corps veteran...which equates to approximately 0.58% of the total U.S. population. Today, we strut Devils. Whatever your MOS, you contributed something the Corps needed somebody to do. Bullets need targets, aircrafts have to fly, communications have to work, equipment needs repairs, and supplies have to reach the people depending on them. Whether you stayed for one enlistment or an entire career, today is your day.....Docs, pull up your EARNED seat as well. Some Marines leave us with accounts of courage that are difficult to comprehend even when the details are right in front of us. At Guadalcanal in October of 1942, John Basilone had machine gun positions under heavy attack and one section knocked out except for two men. He brought another gun into action, repaired and manned a weapon under fire, and fought through hostile lines to bring ammunition to his gunners. The men holding those positions needed working guns and ammunition, and he risked his life getting both to them. On Iwo Jima, Jacklyn Lucas had been seventeen for only six days when he covered one grenade and pulled another beneath himself to protect three fellow Marines. He survived. I have a hard time getting past his age, because seventeen ought to leave you plenty of time to figure out what you’re going to do with your life. He was already willing to give his up for the men beside him. On that same island, Douglas Jacobson took over a fallen bazooka man’s duties and attacked the defenses holding up the advance. His citation credits him with destroying sixteen enemy positions, including actions supporting an adjacent assault company he volunteered to help. Jason Dunham was twenty-two when he covered a grenade with his helmet and body in Iraq to shield his Marines; he died from his wounds. In Afghanistan in 2010, Kyle Carpenter moved toward a grenade to protect the Marine sharing his rooftop position, surviving severe wounds after his body took the brunt of the explosion. Different generations of Marines can read those accounts and recognize the same willingness to protect somebody beside them, even if most of us will never fully understand what making that decision takes. Dakota Meyer made five trips into the Ganjgal ambush during a six hour battle, continuing despite being wounded. On the fifth trip, he went on foot under fire to recover his fallen team members. Even when he could no longer bring those men home alive, he was still going back to get them. The Marine beside you might be the same guy whose wife fed you over a 96, whose kid climbed all over you in the living room, whose family made you welcome when you couldn’t get back to your own. You know something about the life they are trying to get back home to. You want them back at that dinner table, getting another ordinary evening with their family, and you’re willing to do everything you can to make that happen. You’ve met the people who would have to live without them...and vice versa. Whatever decisions put Marines in a fight, the person beside you has a life that matters beyond whether somebody in Washington gets to say they were right. I can be proud of my service and expect honest answers from the people making those decisions. Smedley Butler served thirty-three years in the Corps, earned two Medals of Honor, and later published War Is a Racket. I respect his willingness to examine what his own service had been used for. Caring about Marines includes caring about why they’re being sent somewhere and what they’re being asked to do. “No better friend, no worse enemy” makes me think about people who can be dangerous when they have to be and still make you feel welcome at their table. I admire someone who has been worked over by life and still has patience for another person’s problems. Some days it takes a lot to keep being decent, and I’m proud to know people who make that effort even when they have plenty of reasons to toss their pack to the side. I want us looking after each other beyond this birthday. Sometimes a Marine needs your time, help figuring something out, or somebody willing to stay involved after the first conversation. We all have our own shit going on, and helping can become inconvenient pretty quickly. That’s usually when you find out how much somebody meant it when they said you could call. Nobody needs a particular rank to give a damn. I hope there’s plenty of laughing today, some old pictures getting passed around, and somebody being reminded of a story they thought everyone had finally forgotten. If a Marine has been on your mind, get in touch, give them some shit, and ask how they’re doing today. We’ve got family scattered all over the place, with different lives and different problems now, but our bond will forever be timeless. Happy Birthday to my brothers and sisters in the Corps. I’m proud to be one of you, my table/door is always open, and I’ve got nothing but love for all of you majestic bastards. Eat the weak, breed the strong. Semper Fi.

Roger, I appreciate the response brotha. Keeping this conversation open helps shareholders understand management’s decisions and helps management understand the concerns behind our questions. I’m speaking for myself as a shareholder, but public answers help everyone see where we stand when our money is on the line. You’ve stated that GNS has no funding relationship with Ayrton or any other convertible debt provider, will not enter one, and has made no commitments it cannot fund. I welcome that clarification. Shareholders can assess future decisions against those statements. That clarifies GNS’s stated funding position. My remaining questions concern the partner’s ability to deliver and what this partnership will produce for existing GNS shareholders. I understand some commercial details cannot be disclosed immediately, but I’d appreciate answers to the following when you’re able to share them: - What GNS must contribute, where that funding will come from, and whether additional shares could be issued. - What checks GNS performed on its partner’s financial capacity and what protections apply if the partner cannot deliver. - What customer commitments support the expected revenue. - How much cash GNS expects to receive after costs and fees, and how long that should take. Your NAVPS comparison is worth discussing alongside what those assets can realistically deliver, what GNS owes, and how the share count changes. Management’s record of delivering on earlier commitments matters when we assess the next assurance. Retail shareholders are owners with capital at risk. Informed questions deserve substantive answers without being dismissed as “hater” fodder. I want GNS to succeed, and I’m willing to give execution time, as I have done for almost four years. Continued confidence has to be earned through transparency and measurable results per existing share.

My motivation for kicking out these pieces was slipping...but today, I found that spark again. I'm sitting on over 300 pages of GNS research, working through years of financial statements, SEC filings, acquisitions, management decisions, and promises made to shareholders. I started out trying to reconcile the numbers, but I've ended up examining decisions that go back years, and frankly, some of what I've found has been concerning. The deeper I dig, the harder it becomes to justify some of management's decision making. I've spent considerable time following the money through ERL, LZGI, Jewel, the discontinued businesses, and the broader capital structure. I've encountered share count disclosures that still need reconciling, material weaknesses in financial reporting controls acknowledged by management, related-party arrangements, and transactions whose financial outcomes deserve far more attention than their original announcements received. Shareholders shouldn't have to reconstruct years of disclosures just to understand what happened to the capital they helped provide. I've also spent substantial time on the NAV calculations alone. GNS reported $105.97 million in consolidated equity and presented approximately $0.61 in NAV per share, using an adjusted 173.4 million share denominator. Yet the same June 30th financial statements show $98.87 million attributable to GNS owners, with the remaining $7.10 million belonging to noncontrolling interests. Using that same denominator, the owner attributable figure is $0.570 per share instead of $0.611, roughly 6.7% lower....and we still have to reconcile that adjusted denominator with the legally outstanding shares. The company subsequently disclosed 9,905,782 additional ATM shares issued for approximately $1.65 million, averaging $0.1666 per share. Those shares are equivalent to 5.71% of the adjusted 173.4 million share reference count, although that isn't necessarily the percentage increase in actual outstanding shares. Applying the issuance mechanically to June's owner attributable equity brings the illustrative book-value figure from $0.570 to $0.548 per adjusted share. It's a simplified calculation using June's balance sheet, not a claim about today's NAV, but it demonstrates what happens to that per-share measure when new equity is issued so far below its starting book value. GNS also promoted Diamond Equity Research's $1.54 illustrative valuation, built on the same 173.4 million share denominator and assumptions about future performance. The research was openly issuer sponsored, with $126,500 in cumulative research and related service payments disclosed through September 11. I understand why companies pay for research coverage, but I want to know whether that expenditure produced meaningful benefits for shareholders and how the valuation accounts for the financing needed to achieve those projections. The same attention given to promoting the upside should be given to explaining the ownership costs and execution risks. I'm applying that scrutiny to executive service and related party payments, board oversight, the auditor relationship, and the capital committed to expansion. GNS has reported improvements in revenue and gross profit, along with substantial third party debt reduction, and those developments deserve recognition. I'm examining them alongside the losses, new shares, and unresolved transactions elsewhere in the group because the economic outcome for existing shareholders matters just as much as the operational progress being announced. My loyalty isn't attached to a company. My loyalty is to RETAIL, and I stand on that 1,000%. I'm not saying GNS has tossed its shareholders aside, because I STILL see the bigger picture. I believe we're on the front lines of a fight against the people and practices I personally feel helped make the American markets what they are today...a swamp...Questioning management's execution hasn't changed my conviction about that fight. I've watched timelines shift, reporting problems recur, and announcements accumulate while questions about earlier transactions remain unanswered. The lack of urgency concerns me, particularly when some of the partnerships being announced involve financial risks and commitments shareholders are still trying to understand. People are pissed off, and I understand why. I continue to see considerable potential in GNS's broader strategy, which makes the lack of lasting improvement in shareholder value all the more frustrating. I've been in the cold before, stranded and fighting by myself when defeat seemed all but certain. I kept fighting, and I'm here today. That experience shaped my mentality toward corruption, fraud, and the dirty suits I believe have taken advantage of ordinary people for far too long. I'd much rather have GNS standing beside retail in that fight, and I still hope that's where this story leads. I was fighting these battles before GNS became part of my portfolio, though, and I'll continue regardless of what happens with the company. I understand why you believe Roger is trying to help, I've believed that myself for years, and I genuinely hope his intentions are good. I need his decisions and their results to justify the confidence I've placed in him. I'll acknowledge what management gets right, examine what goes wrong, and correct my own conclusions when the evidence requires it. I've asked shareholders to follow the numbers with me, and I owe them that same standard when the findings become uncomfortable. After 3.5 years, you @SheWitchHerself deserve answers, and so do the rest of us. Finding that spark again reminded me why I started digging in the first place. I want GNS to succeed, I still believe the larger fight is worth having, and I intend to finish examining the company's record and put the findings in front of retail, wherever they lead. I'm going to do my best to get this kicked out by tomorrow so interested parties have time over the weekend to dissect it.

Y'all will get my due diligence after I get done shining the light inward. I have now started digging into #GNS' management and its pattern. I see you...and your SEC paperwork....The UPDATED piece will be done shortly. At this point I feel played with, and like someone just spat in my face. The stock dropped down to 8 cents today....while shareholders have been BEGGING for a buyback for MONTHS....all just to have Roger come out and announce an expansion deal with a company who just proposed a RS, and their CEO is known as the "Dilution Queen." FingerMotion’s financial situation is severe, characterized by a near total collapse in core revenue, mounting losses, and heavy reliance on dilutive financing to stay afloat. In its most recent quarter ended August 31th, 2026, revenue plunged nearly 97% year-over-year to just $281,076 while the company posted a $4.93 million net loss (bringing trailing twelve month losses to $10.38 million), leaving it unable to organically service its $51.52 million in total liabilities. With only $6.87 million in cash on hand, FingerMotion has turned to high dilution convertible debt to fund operations, which has depressed its share price below $1.00 and triggered a Nasdaq delisting threat. Ultimately, management is effectively abandoning its legacy business model by proposing both an aggressive reverse stock split (up to 1-for-100) and a reverse merger with BlueFlare Group Holdings that will dilute existing FingerMotion shareholders down to roughly 20% of the combined company. @rogerhamilton you somehow thought getting into bed with the above company....was a better business strategy than creating instant shareholder value, AND company value, through shrinking the float (I know, but why don't you go ahead and explain to other shareholders why the float didn't shrink this summer with all of your "buybacks."....) It's either neglect or stupidity this deep into the game, with not much middle ground from my perspective, my goal now is to figure out which one. I'm not selling, my hands are diamonds...this isn't me turning into a bear and bashing the company...and I will never turn on #Retail. This is me refusing to be a "boot licker" praising a company for STUPID business moves backed by nothing but lip filler. A "yes man, perma bull" is just as bad as daily bashers, they both enable. No better friend, no worse enemy....and I need to make sure I'm standing on the right side of the train-tracks. I grabbed a clean shovel for this dig, let's see how clean it is when I'm done. OneLove and StayBlessed NumbersOverNarratives DiggerBG $GNS

This is a nothing post...and I mean that exactly how it sounded. Eleven months after Genius Group told the market the ASX dual listing would take only about four months, the board has finally said management can START the formal application. The application itself has not been filed, nothing has been submitted to the ASX, no clock has started. No listing is imminent. ASX’s own process is 4–6 weeks once a complete package is actually lodged. That package still has to be prepared. The company’s July claim of a Q4 2026 listing is already dead, and at this pace the realistic window is now Q1 2027, with a real chance it slips into Q2. No cash is coming in from this, no shares are being bought back, no revenue is being added, the share count is unchanged, and the stock is still a micro-cap sitting near its all time lows. This release does not improve the company’s position today in any measurable way. It is a delayed status update on an unfinished regulatory process that has already missed every prior timeline. This is the equivalent of a kid saying his homework will be done by mid-year, turning nothing in, then popping up in November with a note from his parent saying he’s now allowed to start.....but he still needs a few more months. Celebrating this as a win while the company sits under $0.12 and still refuses to use its shareholder approved buyback authority is a perspective....Not mine, but a perspective nonetheless.

I didn't forget about y'all...This particular #GNS piece spans across 3 X Article entries due to length, not by choice...and if you have ever used X Article, it sucks.

I’m a man of my word. In this day and age, a man’s word and integrity feel like lost art forms, and I take pride in still producing art. If I say a piece is being written, it is. That goes clear down to “Digger’s First Day at the SEC,” recommended by @SheWitchHerself in passing months ago. BUT...as I’ve always stated, good DD and real investigations take time. Anybody can throw words onto a page in an attempt to be first with a narrative. Bullish, bearish, for the company, against the company...it makes no difference. If the goal is simply to get the story out before the work is done, that isn’t due diligence. That’s content farming, and a spade is a spade. The difficult part comes before the writing. First, you have to understand the subject, learn it, study it, challenge your own assumptions, verify the numbers, read the filings front to back and back again, go through the PRs, court records, regulatory actions, and whatever other pieces belong in the puzzle. Then comes the actual tedious part....taking all of that information and structuring it into something cohesive, sourced, understandable, and actually useful to retail...a completed puzzle rather than a pile of disconnected pieces. That is the part most people never see, but it is where the real due diligence happens. With that being said, I have two major DiggerBG investigations dropping this week, following my already released #BURU investigation. teapawt.net/DiggerBG/status/211631… “GNS - The Domino Thesis Meets the Numbers: The Operating Business, AI and Bitcoin Treasuries, Legal Recoveries, and the Shareholder Math Behind Genius Group” drops TONIGHT. “THE SHADY BUNCH - Stock Pools to Dark Pools: The Scandals, Reforms, and Conflicts That Shaped Today’s Market” also drops THIS WEEK. Whether you agree with every conclusion, disagree with half of them, or land somewhere in the middle, I hope you walk away with something of value as a retail participant, and with respect for the amount of work that went into building these pieces. I’m not doing this because there is a paycheck waiting at the end. I’m doing it because retail deserves research built to help close some of the informational gap between the people inside the machinery and the people investing around it.

$BURU -From Distressed Developer to NATO-Aligned Defense Powerhouse After considerable research, revisions, source reconciliation, and more financial arithmetic than I care to admit, I've completed my two-part investigation into NUBURU, its acquisition of Tekne, and the industrial and financial transformation now taking shape around the company. I deliberately chose Friday for this release, hoping to give fellow shareholders the weekend to work through the material without the constant distractions of an active trading session. The investigation runs 60 pages in its PDF edition, with 16 sections, 27 embedded exhibits and charts, and 88 entries in its primary-source evidence ledger. There is quite a bit to unpack, and I'd rather readers take their time examining the findings, calculations, and supporting documents than feel obligated to rush through them. I've been a BURU shareholder for quite some time, following the company's developments, frustrations, financing decisions, and attempts to establish a viable future with my own capital exposed to the outcome. This investigation was written from inside the house, not by someone staring through the window. That doesn't make my conclusions inherently correct, nor does it excuse them from scrutiny. It does, however, explain why I wanted to examine the company's history and its proposed future well beyond the headlines. The Tekne acquisition unquestionably changed the questions shareholders need to be asking. We now have an operating Italian manufacturer, an evolving defense-industrial strategy, and a series of financial commitments whose ultimate consequences depend on execution. Understanding what NUBURU acquired required looking beyond the announced transaction value and projected opportunities. I wanted to reconcile the industrial record, contractual obligations, financing structures, securities arrangements, and management history to determine what the available evidence actually establishes. My concern has never been whether an acquisition can create value. It's whether that value ultimately reaches the common shareholder, in what proportion, and at what additional cost along the way. Those questions took me through the company's previous operations, Tekne's manufacturing foundation, Italian and European defense considerations, SEC filings, historical financial statements, trading activity, listing developments, and an extensive examination of management's execution record. Some findings are encouraging, others warrant caution, and several important questions cannot yet be resolved from the available documentation. The publication is divided into two articles at a natural point in that examination. Part One establishes the acquisition, industrial opportunity, financing, capital structure, and much of the historical record before entering the management investigation. Part Two continues that examination, presents my shareholder perspective, and includes the primary-source ledger and calculation checks so readers can examine the foundation of the work themselves. I remain invested in BURU and genuinely want the transformation to succeed. That has not changed throughout this investigation. What I refuse to do, however, is allow my desired outcome to substitute for documented results, particularly when financing, dilution, contractual obligations, and future operating performance can materially affect the value attributable to existing shareholders. Both articles are available below, free to read in their entirety. PART ONE: teapawt.net/DiggerBG/status/211631… PART TWO: teapawt.net/DiggerBG/status/211631… To my fellow $GNS shareholders, I haven't forgotten about you either. Your own equivalent, in-depth investigation is completed. I'm currently putting the final X Article bows on it, including the graphics, source presentation, and publication formatting. I've invested considerable effort into both investigations, and I want the finished articles to reflect that effort before placing them in front of their respective shareholder communities. I also want to thank those who have followed my research, contributed information, questioned calculations, or challenged conclusions with supporting documentation. I don't expect everyone to agree with every interpretation, and disagreement doesn't bother me. What matters is whether the argument survives examination of the underlying evidence. If something material has been overlooked or calculated incorrectly, I welcome the opportunity to address it. The objective has never been to tell another retail investor what to buy or sell. It's to put the information on the table so each of us can make a better-informed decision. I hope this investigation gives BURU shareholders additional material to work with as the company continues attempting to establish its next chapter.

I was 15 minutes away from hitting send on my latest 60+ page DD piece...but this expansion requires a per-share explanation...and needs to be added. The GENIUSpark Alberta announcement makes the capital allocation question more urgent. Genius is pursuing a 49% interest in a venture whose first campus has a targeted $9.9 million partner equity component. Applying the announced ownership percentage implies approximately $4.851 million attributable to GNS, subject to the final funding arrangements and closing conditions. The release also states that project financing and customer contracts are not yet in place. That makes the source, timing and cost of GNS’s contribution essential information for existing shareholders. The company reported $1.884 million in cash at June 30th and subsequently disclosed 9,905,782 additional ordinary shares issued through its ATM for $1.65 million. These disclosures establish financing activity after the reporting date....they do not establish today’s available cash or prove that Alberta must be funded through another common share offering. BUT shareholders should not have to wait for dilution to occur before asking how management intends to protect them. Management continues to emphasize $0.61 in reported NAV per share, including in its October operational update. That figure remains subject to the denominator and asset quality questions examined in my investigation. If the board believes its shares trade at a substantial discount to defensible net asset value, it should explain why committing scarce capital to another venture offers a better outcome per existing share than repurchases, liquidity preservation, or strengthening the existing business. Repurchases WELL below NAV can improve the arithmetic for remaining shareholders. They are not risk free returns, and a company with limited liquidity cannot treat every available dollar as surplus cash. Those constraints make a transparent comparison more necessary. The Jewel disclosures show why the explanation must include the securities themselves. June’s two announced repurchases totalled 12,637,851 ordinary shares. July’s amended registration said the Jewel PFWs had been repurchased, leaving a registration reduction of exactly 12,637,851. The numerical match is EXACT...the exercise, issuance and cancellation history still needs reconciliation. Gross repurchase announcements are not a substitute for a complete account of net changes in outstanding shares and potential dilution. Alberta could create value. The announcement does not yet demonstrate how much value will reach each existing GNS share after funding costs, project debt, execution risk and any additional securities are included. Roger, shareholders have financed the company’s opportunities for years. Before asking them to finance another, show the contribution schedule, the funding source, the resulting share count and the basis for believing this allocation improves their position. A larger corporate footprint is not, by itself, a better outcome for the shareholders paying for it. OneLove and StayBlessed NumbersOverNarratives DiggerBG NFA/DYODD

I haven’t forgotten about y’all. As I always say, good DD and investigations take time. I have six pieces that are finished, all complete with sources and graphics... • #BURU • #GNS • #Retail-Pulte • #THCA • #ShadyBunch • #GulfOfTonkin An unforeseen family emergency has slowed my release schedule. I expect the first pieces (Buru/GNS) to start rolling out tonight or tomorrow, with the rest following over the next few days. I appreciate y’all’s patience while I take care of my family and get everything posted. Have a safe, and enjoyable weekend everyone.

I appreciate the sourcing links, and push @Digglemydirk, productive community debate is a win for everyone... Those releases are from September 2025 though brotha, over a year ago. GNS did report 60.3% in book entry then. The issue is carrying that percentage forward without incorporating the subsequent share movements and disclosures. The August 13th, 2026 update reports 72.7 million shares held with VStock. Against management’s stated 173.4 million share population, that calculates to approximately 41.93%, or roughly 42%. That is a later disclosed checkpoint, not a certified live percentage today. Here’s that update... ir.geniusgroup.net/news-even… Management also explained that its adjusted population accounts for cancellations and locked shares pending cancellation, including ERL and LZGI holdings. Those treatments need to be reconciled before subtracting the same blocks again. I understand the mistake here because I made it myself earlier in the year, before working through the 72.7 million figure and management’s updated stated share population. Keeping the same holders and holdings does not keep their percentage unchanged when the denominator changes. DRS remains a major part of my thesis. WhyDRS lists GNS first among the companies displayed on its percentage leaderboard, although that page uses older figures and does not establish a current ranking across every public company. The shareholder participation matters regardless of the ranking. The earlier Bitcoin loyalty program, the later cash loyalty round, and shareholders’ willingness to continue directly registering and holding shares can encourage sustained participation. If those holdings grow while completed company actions produce a net reduction in outstanding shares, the registered percentage could gradually increase. That is an outcome I believe is highly possible. The direction depends on both sides. Issuance can offset cancellations, and cancelling shares already held at the transfer agent can reduce both the numerator and denominator. Direct registration can also reduce exposure to broker lending without making shares permanently unsellable. With respect, I’ve spent considerable time working through this. I have a 70ish page investigation coming out shortly covering the financial results, capital structure, Jewel, AI and Bitcoin treasuries, and legal proceedings through October 21st. It includes 23 exhibits, linked sources, and appendices documenting the calculations and remaining reconciliation questions. I hope to see you there. I share the conviction behind shareholder DRS participation. What I cannot support is treating September 2025’s 60.3% as today’s DRS anchor or using it to certify a 64.57 million tradable float. GNS's thesis only gets stronger when we connect the dates and populations factually, and count each completed share reduction only once.

“Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea.” That idea is bigger than one ticker, one company, or one community. Some of us came through $GME and $AMC. Others came through $MMTLP, $GNS, $BURU, $QNTM, $HYMC, $TSLA, $XRP, or another corner of the market that forced ordinary investors to start learning filings, court dockets, dilution, short data, market mechanics, and everything else they never expected to need. Different battles taught different lessons, but the pattern is familiar....Retail gets burned, Retail starts digging, and eventually the people asking the hardest questions are the same people who were told to sit down and trust the system. That is why the constant fighting inside Retail is such a waste. Disagreement is healthy. One person should be able to question management while another challenges the short thesis. The problem starts when the bull echo chamber decides every uncomfortable question is an attack, while the bear echo chamber treats every positive fact like propaganda. Once that happens, the argument stops being about what is true and starts becoming a loyalty test over which jersey somebody is wearing. The real enemy is not “the bulls” or “the bears,” and it is not automatically management, Wall Street, a regulator, a market maker, a short seller, a broker, an analyst, or the media. The enemy is the conduct the evidence establishes...fraud when fraud can be shown, manipulation when the record supports it, deceptive disclosures when the numbers refuse to reconcile, hidden conflicts when the money trail proves them, and abusive market or institutional failures when the mechanics and record demonstrate them. Sometimes the evidence may point toward a short seller or market maker. Sometimes it may point toward a broker, regulator, institution, analyst, or even the company Retail spent months defending. That is exactly why the evidence has to choose the target instead of the tribe choosing it first. NumbersOverNarratives is supposed to break that cycle. It is not our narrative over theirs. It means the numbers, filings, mechanics, and record get the final vote no matter which side they hurt. If somebody says a company is being manipulated, show the evidence. If somebody says management is misleading shareholders, make the disclosure reconcile. If somebody says a regulator or broker failed, establish what happened....and if one of our own theories falls apart under scrutiny, kill the bad theory before carrying it into the next fight. That is not Retail playing nice, that is Retail learning how to fight the right people. An army does not become stronger because every soldier agrees. It becomes stronger when the intelligence is better, the target is identified correctly, and the people standing beside one another understand that challenging bad information inside the ranks can prevent much bigger mistakes outside them. The shareholder questioning management may be protecting the rest of us from a bad assumption. The person tearing apart a bearish claim may be doing the same thing from the other direction. I do not need every $GME holder to own $GNS, every $AMC Ape to agree with $MMTLP, or everybody following $BURU, $QNTM, $HYMC, $TSLA, $XRP, or $BTC to believe the same thesis. What matters is that the knowledge developed inside one battle can help another community tomorrow. Court records, dilution, failures to deliver, beneficial ownership, financing structures, market mechanics...Retail gets stronger when that knowledge travels. There are millions of us. Accountants, lawyers, engineers, veterans, programmers, traders, researchers, business owners, data nerds, and stubborn bastards who simply refused to stop digging when something did not make sense. Taken separately, we are easy to dismiss. Taken together, with a common evidentiary standard, that becomes something much harder to ignore. That is why the people who actually deserve scrutiny benefit when Retail stays divided. Anyone relying on deception, opacity, bad information, abusive mechanics, or institutional failure has an easier job when the shareholders asking questions are too busy attacking each other to compare notes. So fight. Argue the thesis. Tear weak DD apart. Make companies explain what does not reconcile. Make short sellers support their claims. Make brokers, institutions, regulators, analysts, and market makers answer the questions the record actually raises. When the evidence points back at our own side, do not look away. The target can change because the evidence can change, but the standard cannot. The mask works because it was never about one face. Retail works the same way. Different tickers brought different people into different fights, but the idea underneath them can still be shared...we do not have to surrender independent thought to stand on the same side when the evidence finally tells us where that side is. That is when scattered shareholders start looking like an army. Same Team. One Fight. Ideas are bulletproof.

I choose to still feed, even though my hand gets snapped at daily. I hate showing teeth at this point in my life, I'm past that...but please know who you are growling at, it would be a shame to get your bowl snatched. I have multiple posts dropping between tonight and tomorrow evening.

Roger, this October 6th announcement says GNS purchased 10 Bitcoin for approximately $854,000. It describes potential funding sources without identifying which funded this purchase. Was it operating cash, ATM proceeds or another source? If shares were issued to fund it, disclose the quantity, net proceeds and effect on existing shareholders’ ownership. At an illustrative share price of $0.16, that money equates to approximately 5.34 million shares before fees and market impact. Actual buyback execution would depend on prices and liquidity, but shareholders deserve to understand the choice. How much shareholder authorized buyback capacity remains (exact number), and why did the board consider Bitcoin a better use of this money than repurchasing shares, preserving liquidity or investing in the operating business? That question leads straight back to the reconciliation shareholders have requested for months. We cannot properly evaluate a capital decision per share while the share count remains unresolved. Publish the January 1st opening balance, every issuance and PFW exercise, repurchases, completed cancellations and the closing balance through October 6th. Calculate public float separately and explain the denominator used for NAV per share. The public data illustrates the problem. ChartExchange lists float at 74,279,790 for December 31st, 2025, and 172,868,119 for September 15th, 2026; Finviz currently displays approximately 172.87 million. That is a reported increase of roughly 132.7%, not proof that actual tradeable supply increased by that amount. ChartExchange’s float jumps between July 15th and July 31st while its displayed shares outstanding remain unchanged. The provider needs to explain its data change. Management needs to supply the dated company figures against which shareholders can check it. Your H1 disclosure separately reports 9,905,782 ordinary shares issued through the ATM after June 30th for $1.65 million. What was the NET change in legal shares outstanding over the year to date? Show whether repurchases delivered a net reduction or were offset by issuance, and distinguish completed cancellations from announced or pending retirements. Connect that share reconciliation to the Bitcoin purchase. Explain the assumptions, timeframe and financing costs supporting its expected benefit per ordinary share. Growing the treasury can create value, but any issuance used to fund it belongs in the calculation shareholders receive. I believe in the company’s products, respect shareholders who have held for YEARS through losses, and support pursuing the court cases. My concern now is management’s execution and capital allocation. Your willingness to fight is clear. However, you and the board also need to demonstrate how these decisions strengthen existing shareholders’ ownership and value per share. I’m starting to feel played with, and honestly, this shit is growing old. I have held back publication of my roughly 635 page pre-H1 reconciliation investigation while waiting for the company to address the discrepancies and numerous apparent errors I documented in its SEC filings. I still cannot, to this day, reproduce a complete share count reconciliation from the companies disclosed figures. “Prudent use” of the ATM offers little reassurance while that remains unresolved. The company has the records needed to explain where this money came from, how the share count changed, and why this decision serves existing shareholders. Stop beating around the bush, and publish an answer we can verify. My H1 breakdown will be released this evening. It is the middle section of a three part investigation...examine the pre-H1 record, break down what the company reported in H1, then connect the two and test whether the numbers reconcile. Tonight’s piece focuses on what H1 says about the company’s current position...the improvements, the weaknesses, and the questions that remain. The full reconciliation comes afterward. Each stage needs to stand on its own before I draw conclusions across the complete record.
