The trail is complicated and there’s a lot of information. It’s like tracking ghosts in the shadows. They go to great lengths to make it that way. A Nevada holding company was set up right around the time that Telic was shutting down, and a week before Tapstone was formed. Read on to learn why this important.
A little history first
Jeffrey Morgan (pictured) has been an email marketer since approximately 2002, when he started AMS Global, Inc. aka AMS Global. He founded Telic Interactive in approximately 2010. Telic Interactive was outed as a spammer around July of 2013.
Apparently, Telic Interactive was also known as Adaptive Media, Inc. It looks like, Adaptive Media, Inc. is now known as Adaptive Medias, Inc. Both Adaptive Media and Adaptive Medias share the same URL.

According to Bloomberg Business, Jeff Morgan also serves as a Member of Board of Advisors at Adaptive Media, Inc.
In SEC filings the Adaptive Media, Inc. shareholders are listed as: Morgan Family Trust (Jeff Morgan), Kim Reed Perell (Frontline Direct, Adconion Direct, Amobee), and Qayed Shareef.
Qayed Shareef has been charged with lascivious acts upon a minor and possession of child pornography. Discover more: Adaptive Media CEO Faces Life in Prison.
Jeff Morgan founded a company listed as a spam operation.
Federal prosecutors in California have filed criminal charges against four employees of Adconion Direct, an email advertising firm, alleging they unlawfully hijacked vast swaths of Internet addresses and used them in large-scale spam campaigns.
It seems the three shareholders may not be the “strange bedfellows” one would think.
Tapstone emerges from Telic   
Telic Interactive also known as Telic Ventures was listed as a spamming company around July, 2013. Subsequently its presence online begins to disappear.
On 12/23/2013 ODM Holdings was formed. On 12/30/2013 Tapstone Holdings, LLC was formed. Tapstone Holdings is held by ODM Holdings. An officer was assigned on 12/31/2014.
Tapstone Holdings, LLC is chartered in California. The listed Officer for Tapstone Holdings LLC is ODM Holdings, LLC. ODM Holdings is registered in Nevada.
The Officer for ODM Holdings is A.T. Mathis who is located at the same address as Anderson Advisors, Anderson Registered Agents and ODM Holdings on McLeod Dr. in Las Vegas.
A.T. Mathis, also known as Toby Mathis, is an attorney and the prime mover at Anderson.
Why is the information about ODM Holdings and Anderson Registered Agents important?
“Nevada law provides extremely strong protection against piercing the corporate veil. On the issue of “piercing the corporate veil,” Nevada law applies (which is much more supportive of the corporation’s interest), even if the corporation only operates in California, and has never had any other contact with Nevada, and is simply chartered there.” Read all about it here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_corporation.
From the Anderson Advisors Website: “Nominee Services in Nevada for Privacy. Keep Your Anonymity”. Discover more: http://andersonadvisors.com/nominee_service/.

What is the definition of a “Holding Company”?
“A parent corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, holding company exists for the sole purpose of controlling another company–which might also be a corporation, limited partnership. or limited liability company– rather than for the purpose of producing its own goods or services.

“Holding companies and the companies they control have a parent-subsidiary relationship. When a holding company owns a controlling interest in another company, the holding company is called the parent company and the controlled company is called the subsidiary.” Read more, http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/encyclopedia/Gov-Inc/Holding-Companies.html#ixzz3R271jHjA
Any corroborating information about Tapstone Holdings and ODM Holdings?

Jonathan David was an employee of Telic Interactive and is currently listed as the “Founder and CEO” of Tapstone.  But who really controls the company through Tapstone Holdings LLC and ODM Holdings LLC?
Do “white hat” companies hide registration details?
Tapstone.com, the domain for Tapstone Holdings. LLC , is registered in Panama and the registration details are obscured, http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=tapstone.com . Why would a company hide its domain registration?
Two fingers on the same hand?
As already stated, Jeff Morgan and Jonathan David were the two key figures at Telic Interactive. With the demise of Telic, Jonathan David emerged as “Founder and CEO”, of Tapstone Holdings LLC (Tapstone).
Remember that Jeff Morgan controlled it all. He suddenly disappeared when Telic, his baby, was listed as a spammer.
Almost simultaneously holding companies were formed in Nevada to hold a California holding company known as Tapstone Holdings, LLC, which holds Tapstone.com.
As already shown above, Nevada is renowned for the thick curtain of secrecy it throws over companies registered there. Many “black hat” people gravitate to Nevada because of it’s secure privacy laws.
