Company Press Release
Starnet Announces Resignation of President of EFS Caribbean Inc.

ST. JOHNS, Antigua--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 2000--Starnet Communications International Inc. (NASD OTC-BB: ``SNMM``) (``Starnet``), an online provider of interactive media and information systems and a recognized leader in Internet gaming, today announced the resignation of Jack Carley as director and president of EFS Caribbean Inc., effective immediately. EFS Caribbean Inc. is one of Starnet`s e-cash processing subsidiaries.

Mr. Carley stepped down from the company`s board in December 1999 to limit his responsibilities, and recently elected to remove himself completely from managing Starnet`s operations to pursue other interests.

Meldon Ellis, president and chief executive officer of Starnet said, ``Jack Carley helped build Starnet from a small start-up to a company that today employs 200 people and is one of the leading players in a market projected to generate $3 billion by 2002. As a result of his efforts, we now have in place a sophisticated e-cash processing division capable of not only servicing the growing needs of our online gaming operations, but potential additional e-commerce initiatives as well. We thank Jack Carley for helping to prepare Starnet for significant long-term growth and wish him continued success.``

Jack Carley stated, ``I am pleased with the progress we have made. I strongly believe in the strategic direction Starnet is pursuing, and have every confidence in the ability of Meldon Ellis and Starnet`s management team to execute their plan. The tremendous talent of Starnet`s executive team, the strategic restructuring of the company, and the extensive market opportunities open to Starnet lead me to believe that the future is very bright for this company. With the company poised to enter a new level of growth, I believe this is the appropriate time for me to step away from my day-to-day management responsibilities and pursue other interests

Mensch, was für News. Da kommen einem fast die Glückstränen.

Danke

Tja RAZ,

der Kurs bedankt sich aber nicht gerade! Irgendwie schnalle ich das alles nicht so. Fest steht aber eins, es liegt jetzt definitiv nur noch an der RCMP.

Mit dem Kurs ist das dann so:

Stellt Euch vor Ihr müsstet seit 20. August abstinenz üben. Trotzdem werden Euch immer mal wieder die schärfsten Frauen vor die Nase gesetzt, die Euch "antörnen" um dann wie eine Fatamorgana wieder zu verschwinden. Was glaubt Ihr, was sich da ein "Druck" aufbaut

Nach ca. einem Jahr ist es dann soweit und Ihr werdet von der Enthaltsamkeit befreit.

Was passiert dann? ????????

Ich denke dieser Vorgang wird auch hier zu beobachten sein!

Also, gemeinsam weiter Druck aufbauen!

Offi

P.S.: Halte viel davon, daß das größte "schwarze Schaaf" in Bezug auf die Insider-Sales vom Board verschwindet.

Den Deal mit Activate ist finde ich ein Knaller!

Damit sind wir der Konkurrenz um Längen voraus. Hiermit wird weiter die Seriösität unterstrichen, die SNMM immer weiter aufbaut.
Denke der gute Mathew Stasior wird seinen Anteil dazu geleistet haben.

"Activate is very pleased to be working with one of the first movers in the Internet gaming arena,`` said Stew Chapin, senior vice president of marketing, Activate. ``Starnet`s utilization of Activate`s Internet broadcasting services will help keep them in the forefront of this exciting space."

[Mr. Bucket]

Also ich weiß zu wenig über die Firma Activate ansich, aber ich vertrau euch da mal.... Einen Knaller kann ich im Moment echt gut gebrauchen

Hab mich mit CMRC voll flach gelegt. bin nur noch ganz knapp im plus....

MfG
Ingmar

Hallo Offi!

Ausgezeichnet formuliert. Ich kann mir ein breites Grinsen nicht verkneifen.
Aber in der Tat; Ich bin, wie Du, Offi, davon überzeugt, daß wir nach RCMP-Auflösung
den von Dir beschriebenen Kurs-Orgasmus erleben werden. Vorfreude ist bekanntlich
die beste. Klasse Beitrag!

Carley verläßt das b.o.d. um sich "anderen Interessen" zu widmen - Also, meine
Zustimmung ist Ihm gewiss, denn mir war er ein Dorn im Auge. Ich frage mich allerdings,
warum er erst jetzt "gegangen wurde". Was jetzt kommt ist reine Spekulation, trifft aber
die vergangenen Wochen: Von M. Ellis wurde behauptet, daß er sich nach Vancouver
begeben hat. War sein Ziel die RCMP? Hat man Ihm dort bereits mitgeteilt, was kommen
wird und Ihm in einem Abkommen nahe gelegt, Carley aus der Schusslinie zu nehmen?
Na, ich weiß nicht!? Wir werden sehen.

Gruß

M.
