  • Judah Spinner, Founder of BlackBird Financial LP, Takes Large Stake in Natural Alternatives International — Calls for Urgent Action to Unlock Shareholder Value

    Toms River, NJ, 24th June 2025, ZEX PR WIREJudah Spinner, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of BlackBird Financial LP, has disclosed a significant stake in Natural Alternatives International, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAII), and is calling on the company’s leadership to stop destroying shareholder value and start acting like fiduciaries.

    “NAII sits on over $80 million in tangible equity, yet year after year, management has failed to deliver anything remotely resembling an acceptable return for shareholders,” Spinner said. “Instead of aggressively returning capital to shareholders, management has spent years retaining and redeploying shareholder funds to expand a low-margin, commodity-type operation, including the ill-advised purchase of a new facility. The result? The stock trades at just a quarter of book value. That’s not good stewardship—that’s a textbook case of shareholder neglect.”

    Spinner, known for his Graham-and-Dodd investment approach and no-nonsense style, said BlackBird Financial is pushing for major changes, including the possibility of a full-scale liquidation.

    When a company consistently fails to earn an acceptable return on capital, the free market is signaling that the resources tied up in that business could be far better deployed elsewhere. It’s time for NAI to start winding things down. Redeploy the capital. Return it to shareholders. That’s how capitalism is supposed to work.”

    Strategic Realignment: Shrink to Unlock Value

    Based in Carlsbad, California, Natural Alternatives International operates manufacturing facilities across the U.S., Switzerland, and Japan. Spinner says the company is sitting on valuable real estate and underutilized assets that could—and should—be monetized.

    • Monetize Underutilized Assets: The company’s Carlsbad and Vista facilities are worth north of $30 million combined. They should be sold to unlock capital that is currently underutilized and generating suboptimal returns for shareholders.

    • Improve Profitability or Exit the Business: If management cannot chart a credible path to materially higher returns on capital, the only responsible course is to pursue an full-scale, orderly, liquidation and return the proceeds to shareholders. Continuing to operate without generating acceptable returns would constitute a fundamental breach of the board’s fiduciary duty.

    “It’s time to start acting like true stewards of shareholder capital,” Spinner said. “Continuing to operate a business that fails to generate acceptable returns is a disservice to the very people you’re entrusted to serve. If management and the board intend to honor their fiduciary duty, the path forward is clear: liquidate the assets and return the capital to shareholders” Spinner said. 

    Board Refresh and Shareholder Representation

    BlackBird Financial intends to nominate independent directors with relevant experience to NAII’s board. These nominees will support a comprehensive review of operations and explore all strategic alternatives—including liquidation—if that’s what delivers the best outcome for shareholders.

    “We’re not looking for a fight. We’re looking for accountability,” Spinner added. “This board needs to start living up to their obligations. We will work constructively with management—but we won’t sit back while shareholder’s capital is squandered.”

    Next Steps and SEC Disclosure

    If Spinner’s stake crosses the 5% threshold, BlackBird Financial LP will file a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission to outline its strategic intentions in greater detail.

  • CrocCoin Introduces Groundbreaking Meme-to-DeFi Ecosystem on Solana, Featuring Progressive Decentralization

    Innovative Project Merges Meme Culture with Institutional Security, Sustainable Tokenomics, and Community Governance

    Goiânia – GO, Brazil, 24th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, CrocCoin ($CROC), a pioneering cryptocurrency project built on the Solana blockchain, today announced the official launch of its comprehensive ecosystem. This platform redefines traditional meme token concepts, transforming them into a sustainable, utility-driven model. CrocCoin delivers an innovative fusion of viral meme culture with robust DeFi infrastructure, a progressive community governance structure, and a clear path toward complete decentralization.

    A New Chapter in Meme Token Evolution

    CrocCoin signifies a fundamental shift in the cryptocurrency landscape, directly addressing the common limitations faced by conventional meme tokens. While most meme-based cryptocurrencies rely primarily on social media buzz and speculative trading, CrocCoin has developed a holistic ecosystem that provides genuine utility, transparent governance, and mechanisms for sustainable value creation.

    As articulated in the project’s whitepaper, “CrocCoin began as a bold experiment: a meme born of chaos, forged into structure. Built on the Solana blockchain, $CROC blends meme culture with lasting DeFi utility, creating a living digital relic where story meets utility, and the community becomes the storyteller.”

    The project’s distinct narrative-driven approach differentiates it from typical cryptocurrency offerings. CrocCoin’s rich lore and mythology are not merely marketing tools; they serve as foundational elements that guide product development, community engagement, and strategic decision-making. This approach fosters an immersive experience, empowering community members to actively shape the project’s ongoing evolution.

    Institutional-Grade Security and Unwavering Transparency

    CrocCoin has implemented institutional-level security standards through rigorous auditing and verification. SolidProof, a leading European blockchain security firm, has officially audited and KYC-verified the project, resulting in an impressive TrustNet Score of 83.5 with no critical, high, or medium vulnerabilities identified.

    Key security milestones include:

    • Complete Audit Verification: Comprehensive smart contract and tokenomics audit finalized on April 28, 2025.
    • KYC Verification: Team identity secured and formally documented with SolidProof for enhanced institutional transparency.
    • Domain Security: Premium domains croccoin.io and croccoin.com secured to safeguard brand integrity.
    • Whitepaper Integrity: SHA256 cryptographic locking ensures the immutability of project documentation.
    • Multi-Signature Security: Strategic reserves are controlled by community-governed multi-signature wallets.

    Innovative Tokenomics for Sustainable Growth

    CrocCoin’s tokenomics model meticulously balances immediate utility with long-term sustainability through a precisely designed 100 million token distribution system. This allocation strategy prioritizes widespread community participation while ensuring ample resources for development, marketing, and ecosystem expansion.

    Token Distribution Breakdown:

    • Fair Launch (35%): 35 million tokens allocated for broad community participation, with wallet caps in place to prevent whale accumulation.
    • Liquidity Provision (20%): 20 million tokens permanently locked in automated market maker pools to ensure stable trading conditions.
    • Community & Staking Rewards (15%): 15 million tokens dedicated to incentivizing long-term holders and active community members.
    • Core Team (10%): 10 million tokens with 12-month vesting schedules tied to performance milestones.
    • Pre-sale Whitelisted (7%): 7 million tokens for early supporters, with 75% locked in vesting contracts.
    • Marketing & Strategic Growth (7%): 7 million tokens allocated for partnerships and community growth initiatives.
    • Strategic Reserve (6%): 6 million tokens held by SwampDAO for future opportunities and exchange listings.

    The project incorporates multiple deflationary mechanisms designed to support long-term value appreciation. These include transaction fee burning, utility-based burns from NFT minting and in-game purchases, and strategic DAO-based burns approved through community governance.

    SwampDAO: A Model of Progressive Decentralization

    CrocCoin introduces the SwampDAO, an innovative governance model that strikes a balance between efficiency and inclusivity, ensuring meaningful participation opportunities for all stakeholders. This governance system offers diverse participation avenues, including token-weighted voting, NFT-based governance rights, and community contribution rewards.

    The project is committed to a carefully structured decentralization roadmap:

    • Phase 1 (Months 1-6): Foundation Governance – The core team maintains operational control while establishing the governance infrastructure and community participation mechanisms.
    • Phase 2 (Months 7-12): Shared Governance – Community governance expands to include treasury allocations, partnership approvals, and strategic initiatives.
    • Phase 3 (Months 13-24): Community Governance – Full community control over all non-security decisions, with multi-signature requirements for critical operations.
    • Phase 4 (Months 25+): Full Decentralization – Complete community control, complemented by emergency procedures for critical security situations.

    This progressive approach fosters the development of community governance experience and engagement while maintaining operational efficiency during crucial development phases.

    Multi-Utility Ecosystem and Future Vision

    CrocCoin’s ecosystem extends beyond basic token functionality, incorporating diverse utility vectors that create varied value propositions for participants. The $CROC token serves as the core for governance participation, staking rewards, NFT marketplace transactions, and GameFi integration.

    • Native Marketplace: The central economic hub for NFT trading, access to exclusive content, and limited-edition drops.

    • Ongoing: Release of chapter-based lore, fostering narrative engagement and community participation in ecosystem development.
    • Evolution Systems: Dynamic NFT evolution based on holder activities, governance participation, and ecosystem contributions.

    Robust Technical Foundation: Solana Integration

    The strategic decision to build CrocCoin on the Solana blockchain provides significant advantages for ecosystem development and user experience. Solana’s high throughput, low transaction costs, and robust DeFi ecosystem enable CrocCoin to offer sophisticated financial products while remaining accessible to everyday users.

    Key Technical Advantages:

    • High Performance: Solana’s capacity to process thousands of transactions per second ensures seamless user experiences, even during peak demand.

    • Scalability: Infrastructure capable of supporting future ecosystem expansion and increased user adoption.

  • My Disability Provider Expands High-Quality NDIS Services Across Victoria, Queensland, and New South Wales

    Caroline Springs, Australia, 23rd June 2025, ZEX PR WIREThe years following COVID-19 have marked a significant decrease in the number of healthcare workers and staff, especially in Australia.

  • Augustus Kirby, an NYC based marketer, Explains How Brands Can Win Loyalty in a Tough Economy

    Michigan, US, 23rd June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As inflation continues to shape consumers’ daily decisions, New York City based marketing strategist Augustus Kirby urges brands to shift away from transactional messaging and embrace value-based branding. In today’s economic climate, Kirby says, loyalty isn’t built on price; it’s built on purpose.

    “People aren’t just pinching pennies, they’re reevaluating what matters,” explains Kirby, who has worked with clients worldwide. “They want to know that the money they spend is going toward something meaningful. That’s where value-based branding enters.”

    With food, rent, and transportation costs remaining elevated, Kirby notes that surface-level promotions no longer dazzle consumers. Instead, they seek brands that reflect their identity, ethics, and aspirations. “If your brand message doesn’t make someone feel something, it’s noise,” he says. “And people are tuning out noise faster than ever.”

    In NYC, Values Drive Purchasing Power

    New York City, known for its high cost of living and diverse population, is a proving ground for this new branding reality. Kirby says some of the city’s most resilient businesses have survived the economic shocks of the past year not by slashing prices, but by reinforcing their mission.

    “From sustainable fashion houses in Brooklyn to vegan eateries in Queens, NYC brands that lead with their values outperform expectations,” says Kirby. “Their customers aren’t just buying products, they’re buying a worldview they identify with.”

    He cites the example of a Harlem-based skincare company that doubled its customer base by showcasing its commitment to Black-owned supply chains and eco-friendly packaging. “That’s value-based branding in action. It’s not charity. It’s smart business rooted in cultural alignment.”

    Beyond Discounts: A New Marketing Playbook

    Kirby acknowledges that traditional marketing tactics like discount codes and seasonal blowouts exist only when embedded in a broader narrative. “Promotions are effective when they feel like a reward for belonging, not a plea for attention,” he says.

    He encourages brands to consider the following core elements in crafting their value-based branding strategies:

    • Purpose Over Promotion: Consumers want to know why you exist, not just what you sell. Your brand purpose should be clear, lived, and visible across channels.

    • Community-Driven Content: Instead of broadcasting polished ads, Kirby urges marketers to showcase user stories, behind-the-scenes processes, and mission-aligned collaborations. “People trust people more than logos,” he adds.

    • Transparent Messaging: Clarity is currency in an economy where trust is fragile. Brands that are upfront about sourcing, pricing, and business practices earn respect and repeat customers.

    The Inflation Filter: A Permanent Shift?

    While many marketers may hope inflation is temporary, Kirby warns against waiting it out. “This isn’t just a phase. Consumers have learned to filter out fluff. The economy may improve, but their standards won’t revert,” he says.

    According to a recent report by Edelman, 64% of global consumers now say they choose, switch, avoid, or boycott a brand based on its stand on societal issues. “That’s not a trend. That’s a redefinition of loyalty,” says Kirby.

    What Brands Should Do Right Now

    Kirby advises marketers to take three immediate steps to thrive in this new landscape:

    1. Audit Your Brand Purpose
      “If your team can’t articulate why your brand exists beyond profit, start there,” he says. “Consumers can sniff out empty mission statements from a mile away.”

    2. Engage Authentically
      Use social platforms, especially niche ones, to converse honestly with your audience. “Don’t just post. Listen. Respond. Learn.”

    3. Measure What Matters
      “Move beyond vanity metrics. Look at retention, customer sentiment, and organic referrals,” Kirby says. “That’s where the real ROI of value-based branding lives.”

    NYC’s Edge in the New Economy

    Kirby believes New York City is uniquely positioned to lead the value-driven branding movement. “This city runs on meaning,” he says. “There’s no one-size-fits-all here. NYC brands thrive when they reflect the mosaic of people they serve.”

    He points to the growing number of NYC businesses embedding activism, sustainability, and cultural storytelling into their campaigns. “It’s not performative. It’s personal. And customers respond to that.”

    The Future of Marketing: Smaller, Sharper, Sincere

    In Augustus Kirby’s view, consumers’ economic pressure is forcing brands to evolve fast. “We’re entering an era where being the cheapest or the loudest isn’t enough. You need to be the most aligned,” he says.

    And while challenges persist, Kirby sees opportunity. “Smart brands aren’t just weathering this moment, they’re using it to deepen loyalty in ways that last far beyond inflation cycles,” he concludes. “Because when money is tight, meaning matters more.”

By fusing traditional resource extraction with blockchain-powered traceability, Konoval is introducing a new global standard: one where every gram of gold is verified, digitized, and fully auditable.

    Headquartered in the UAE and operating in Northern Sudans Bayuda Desert, Aurous.Finance is far more than a mining company. Under Konovals leadership, it is a technology-driven enterprise reshaping the future of natural resources—making gold not just valuable, but verifiably real.

    Gold in the Ground, Data in the Cloud

    The companys licensed mining territory spans over 330 square kilometers, containing ore with an average gold grade of 4 grams per ton. With more than 90,000 tons of ore already excavated and infrastructure built to process 28,800 tons per month, Aurous.Finance is targeting a consistent output of up to 28.8 kilograms of refined gold monthly.

    Facilities include industrial-grade crushing systems, ball mills, vat leaching tanks, and a modern carbon-in-leach (CIL) refinery. Yet, what makes Aurous.Finance groundbreaking is not only the machinery—but the digital system that records, verifies, and tokenizes production in real time.

     

    A Global First: NFT-Backed, Fully Traceable Gold

    Aurous.Finance, led by Konovals vision, has deployed a first-of-its-kind tracking system that links physical gold production directly to minted NFTs, offering proof of origin, processing, and ownership through blockchain.

    How it works:

    • Sensors embedded in the milling lines monitor ore volume and drum rotations.
    • Pre-mapped geological data estimates yield per processed batch.
    • Upon refining, this data is used to mint a unique NFT containing:
      • GPS-coordinated origin
      • Sensor-verified production logs
      • Assay lab results and purity reports
      • Minting timestamp and refining confirmation hash

    Each NFT is burned when redeemed, ensuring it corresponds to a real, physical amount of gold—never duplicated, never simulated. Its one asset, one record, one truth.

     

    Strategic Blockchain Alliances

    To build this world-class infrastructure, Konoval has established partnerships with:

    • MintToAsset, which ensures real-world asset digitization and auditability.
    • Minttora, which powers NFT minting, custody, and institutional investor access.

    Together, these partners enable Aurous.Finance to deliver an unprecedented level of trust and verification to the global gold market.

     

    From Sudan to the Continent: A Pan-African Blueprint

    Under Konovals direction, Aurous.Finance has already laid the groundwork for expansion across Africa. Feasibility operations are underway in Kenya, Ethiopia, and other East African nations. Each new site will mirror the Sudan model—sensor-integrated extraction, blockchain traceability, and NFT-linked value delivery.

    Konovals ambition: to build a continent-wide network of blockchain-integrated mining hubs, redefining how Africas natural resources are verified and valued on the global stage.

  • From Ore to On-Chain: How Dmytro Konoval is Digitizing Gold Mining with Aurous.Finance

    Dubai, UAE – June 2025 — As global industries demand radical transparency, real-world asset authentication, and decentralized trust, Dmytro Konoval, the visionary CEO and founder of Aurous.Finance, is rewriting the playbook for the gold mining industry. By fusing large-scale industrial extraction with advanced blockchain protocols, AI-driven data analytics, and tokenized asset verification, Konoval is launching the world into a new era of gold—one thats intelligent, traceable, and digitally sovereign.

    Headquartered in the UAE and operational in Northern Sudans resource-rich Bayuda Desert, Aurous.Finance is more than a mining operation—it is a vertically integrated digital infrastructure project redefining how raw commodities are authenticated, tokenized, and monetized globally.

    From Earth to On-Chain: Data-Driven Gold Mining at Scale

    With a licensed territory spanning over 330 square kilometers, Aurous.Finance is extracting gold from ore averaging 4 grams per ton, with over 90,000 tons already mined. Its next-gen facility—equipped with industrial crushers, rotary ball mills, vat leaching systems, and a precision-engineered CIL refinery—is currently scaling toward processing 28,800 tons of ore monthly, delivering up to 28.8 kilograms of high-purity gold every month.

    But the true revolution lies beneath the surface—not in the rock, but in the digital backbone that powers every operational detail.

    The Worlds First Fully Tokenized, Sensor-Verified Gold Supply Chain

    Aurous.Finance has engineered a world-first blockchain-based system that creates a real-time, tamper-proof audit trail from geological data to refined gold output—with every verified batch minted as an NFT.

    Heres how the technology works:

    • Industrial IoT sensors embedded within the milling infrastructure monitor ore volume and every rotation of the mill drum.
    • Geospatial mining maps and AI-based geological models estimate yield per batch.
    • Upon refining, this structured data feeds directly into the minting engine to create a unique NFT per batch, embedding:
      • GPS-coordinated origin
      • Drum rotation and volume logs
      • Lab-certified gold purity and yield reports
      • Time-stamped production and blockchain minting records
      • Hash-verified refining confirmation

    Once the physical gold is claimed or reserved, the corresponding NFT is permanently burned, ensuring one NFT per real-world gold batch—eliminating duplication risk and forging an unbreakable link between physical and digital assets.

     

    Powered by Strategic Blockchain Infrastructure

    To bring this innovation to global markets, Konoval has forged alliances with two blockchain titans:

    • MintToAsset: Specializing in real-world asset tokenization and global auditability.
    • Minttora: Delivering institutional-grade NFT minting, custody protocols, and compliant investor interfaces.

    These partners enable Aurous.Finance to maintain enterprise-level integrity, security, and scalability across its decentralized mining ecosystem.
