Exhibit 99.1
FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY COURT DISMISSES PETITION AGAINST VITAMINSPICE, INC.
WAYNE, PA –April 25, 2012—VitaminSpice, Inc. (VTMS.PK) announces that the Federal Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has dismissed the involuntary bankruptcy petition that was filed against the company by its former attorney Jehu Hand, Ray Suprenard (IBT Florida), Jeremiah Hand, John Robison (Orange, California), and Esthetics World.
The Honorable Court further ordered that a Hearing be held regarding attorneys fees and damages. Furthermore, the Court Ordered that a Hearing be scheduled to hear VitaminSpice’s “Bad Faith” Motion regarding the Filing of the petition. The Motions filed before this court included explicit documents provided to the court that demonstrated forgeries by petitioners, specifically Jehu Hand. One of the most outrageous document that VitaminSpice provided is a back dated and notarized ( by Jehu Hand’s assistant, Kimberly Peterson) that was submitted the to offices of The United States Federal Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania’s District Court Judge, Michael Baylson.
During the proceedings, petitioner John Robison admitted to providing investment funds via Kevin Lee Woodbridge, a convicted felon on securities violations. According to the SEC website, Woodbridge was banned for life from working with any public company in addition to Woodbridge’s incarceration.
The Court will schedule a separate hearing to allow the parties to augment the present record with regard to the issue of whether VitaminSpice is entitled to fees and costs pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §303(i). At that time, the Court will consider the issue of bad faith as it relates to VitaminSpice's § 303(i) requests, stated the Judge Madeline D. Coleman in documents issued by the court. VitaminSpice, by and through its attorneys will be submitting actual, compensatory, and punitive damage claims against all parties that filed the involuntary petition.
