15 issued shares of stock in Plaintiff MYEC on the following dates to SWEETSUN in the following
16 amounts:
20 18. Signature Stock Transfer, Inc.s reliance on the letters from Attorney Russell was
21 reasonable and justified under the circumstances because, among other things, the letters included
23 19. The representations made by Attorney Russell on behalf of and as agent for
24 Defendant SWEETSUN were false and were made with knowledge of their falsity. The true facts
25 were that Defendant SWEETSUN did not purchase the promissory note from Plaintiff MYEC to
26 TANGIERS and that Plaintiff MYECs Board of Directors did not authorize the issuance of stock

9 represented one-half of the agreed settlement referenced in paragraph 21 above.
10 24. In early November 2013, Plaintiff MYEC notified Defendant SWEETSUN that the
11 issuance of the shares in Plaintiff MYEC had been obtained fraudulently and was being cancelled.
12 25. On or about November 13, 2013, Plaintiff MYEC notified Scottsdale Capital that
13 the issuance of the shares in Plaintiff MYEC had been obtained fraudulently and was being
14 cancelled, and Plaintiff requested that Scottsdale Capital freeze trading in those shares.
15 26. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Scottsdale Capital did
16 freeze trading in Plaintiff MYECs shares for some period of time, however, on January 16, 2014,

18 freeze in trading in the shares in Plaintiff MYEC without a Court-issued temporary restraining

Case 2:14-cv-02889-KJM-AC Document 79 Filed 11/15/17 Page 6 of 9
1 MYEC issued to Defendant SWEETSUN, and the shares that were otherwise fraudulently issued
2 are held by the following entities in the amount set forth next to their respective name:
3 SWEETSUN: 910,000,000
4 TITAN: 255,000,000
5 31. In the time frame subsequent to the issuance of these shares and since the dispute
6 described herein has been pending, the value of the shares has increased substantially, as a result
7 of which the current value of the 1,165,000,000 shares described immediately above is
8 approximately $3,500,000.
9 32. The amount in controversy is in excess of $75,000, to wit: at least $3,200,000.
10 FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

13 34. A dispute has arisen between Plaintiff MYEC on the one hand, and Defendant
14 SWEETSUN on the other concerning the 1,165,000,000 shares issued to Defendants SWEETSUN
15 and TITAN. Plaintiff contends that the issuance of the initial 255,000,000 shares to Defendant
16 TITAN was void from the inception and should be cancelled because Defendant SWEETSUN
17 falsely represented to Plaintiff that defendant SWEETSUN had purchased the promissory note
18 from TANGIERS, and that the issuance of the 910,000,000 shares of Plaintiff MYEC to
19 Defendant SWEETSUN was void in the inception and should be cancelled because the issuance
20 was without Plaintiffs MYECS authorization; Plaintiff MYEC is informed and believes that
22 35. A Declaration from this Court is appropriate at this time so that Plaintiff MYEC
23 and Defendants can know the true ownership of the 1,440,000,000 shares in dispute and govern
1 SWEETSUN was the owner of the promissory note from Plaintiff MYEC to TANGIERS.
2 38. Defendant SWEETSUNS representation was knowingly false, all as has been set
3 forth above. In fact, Defendant SWEETSUN did not own the promissory note from Plaintiff
4 MYEC to TANGIERS.
5 39. Defendant SWEETSUN made the representations to Plaintiff MYEC knowing that
6 the representations were false and with the intention to deprive Plaintiff MYEC of its property
7 rights.
8 40. Plaintiff MYEC relied on the representations of Defendant SWEETSUN and its
9 reliance was reasonable and justified under the circumstances in that Defendant SWEETSUN
10 could reasonably be expected to have superior knowledge of its purchase of the promissory note
13 December 21, 2012, Plaintiff MYEC caused to be issued 255,000,000 shares of stock in Plaintiff
16 agent that Defendant SWEETSUN was the owner of the promissory note from Plaintiff MYEC to
17 TANGIERS and that the Board of Directors of Plaintiff MYEC had authorized issuance of stock
20 Plaintiff MYECs stock transfer agent transferred 275,000,000 shares of stock in Plaintiff MYEC
21 to SEVEN MILES.
23 Plaintiff MYECs stock transfer agent transferred 260,000,000 shares of stock in Plaintiff MYEC
24 to Defendant SWEETSUN.
26 Plaintiff MYECs stock transfer agent transferred 350,000,000 shares of stock in Plaintiff MYEC
27 to Defendant SWEETSUN.
1 2013, Plaintiff MYECs stock transfer agent transferred 300,000,000 shares of stock in Plaintiff
4 SWEETSUN had not purchased the promissory note from Plaintiff MYEC to TANGIERS and the
5 Board of Directors of Plaintiff MYEC had not authorized any transfers to SEVEN MILES or
6 Defendant SWEETSUN.
8 transfer agent knowing that the representations were false and with the intention to deprive
9 Plaintiff MYEC of its property rights.
10 49. As a proximate result of Plaintiff MYECs and its transfer agents reliance on the
12 amount in excess of $3,500,000, the current value of the underlying shares, and according to proof
14 50. Plaintiff MYEC is further entitled to recover punitive damages against Defendant
15 SWEETSUN in amount according to proof to the satisfaction of the court at the time of trial.
18 51. This cause of action includes paragraphs 1 through 32, as set forth above.
19 52. Plaintiff MYEC is informed and believes, and alleges thereon that unless restrained
20 by this Court, Defendants SWEETSUN, TITAN, and DOES 1 20, inclusive, will have the ability
21 to, and are likely to transfer the 1,165,000,000 shares they now hold because the market price of
22 the shares of Plaintiff MYEC has increased approximately substantially since the shares were
23 issued.
25 and DOES 1 20, inclusive, represents more than 10.00% of the outstanding shares of Plaintiff
26 MYEC, and dilutes the value of Plaintiff MYECs shares in an amount that is not subject to exact
28 54. Plaintiff MYEC will suffer irreparable injury unless the transfer of the

5 TITAN, and DOES 1 20, inclusive from transferring the 1,165,000,000 shares in Plaintiff
6 MYEC.
10 1. For a declaration from this Court that Plaintiff MYECS issuance of the
11 255,000,000 shares to Defendant TITAN at the request of Defendant SWEETSUN was obtained
12 by false representations, and therefore was void at the inception and should be cancelled.
13 2. For a declaration from this Court that Plaintiff MYECs issuance of the
14 910,000,000 shares to Defendant SWEETSUN was not authorized by Plaintiff MYEC, and
16 3. For damages for fraud, including punitive damages from Defendant SWEETSUN,
17 in amounts according to proof at the time of trial, although which amount should exceed $3.5
18 million.
20 20, inclusive, restraining them from transferring any of the 1,165,000,000 shares in Plaintiff
21 MYEC, which injunction should be made permanent at the conclusion of this action.
