NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2020 / The HighKey brand is run by Jordan Lintz and his brother Luke Lintz. For them, branding is the most important part of their work. That is why all of their companies are branded under the name "HighKey."

With their e-commerce company HighKey Technology, the Lintz Brothers have accomplished seven figures! HighKey Agency was formed 2 years into the journey. Now Jordan has achieved six figures within one month for his influencer management company HighKey Clout Inc. On social media, HighKey maintains an engaged social media following with millions of impressions and interactions.

The Lintz Brothers control an umbrella with three businesses. HighKey Technology Inc. is an e-commerce company that sells high quality waterproof wireless earbuds to consumers at an affordable price. HighKey Agency Inc. is a full-service social media branding company that focuses on developing their client's brands through stellar social media content, management, and PR. HighKey Clout Inc. is an influencer management company that achieves Instagram growth for its clients through celebrity influencer giveaways. Just recently, they achieved $100k in sales in just one week of late December by selling the HighKey Clout giveaway campaign featuring rapper and influencer, Bhad Bhabie.

The life story of Jordan Lintz is crucial to understand the HighKey brand. During his third year of university, Jordan dropped out to further develop his e-commerce company. He had always loved the idea of branding and advertising. This is why he chose to get into a line of work that allowed him to follow his passions in addition to networking with large influencers and high net worth individuals. He was very motivated by the idea of creating an online presence and growing his brand. He has now surpassed 1M combined followers on Instagram between all his company brands and personal account.

Jordan has always valued mindset, patience, and not listening to anyone else's opinion. For him, there is no competition because he is a strong believer in himself, and compares himself to no one.

"Patience is the most important thing! Don't quit at something you know is right. Give your business time to grow into everything you believe it can be. You have to be dedicated and have faith in what you are doing will work. When you believe and conceive… You will achieve it" Jordan says.

In addition, Jordan does not see obstacles as challenges, but simply as stepping stones to the next accomplishment. His secret to having built his empire is patience and taking advantage of every opportunity.

"I did not even start paying myself with our revenue until year two." Jordan shares.

He believed that he needed to invest his time for it to pay off in the future. Now, thanks to his patience, the HighKey companies have multiple streams of income. HighKey is known for selling futuristic technology (Wireless Earbuds) and great social branding for clients including content, PR, and Instagram growth via celebrity influencer giveaways.

The HighKey brand has made a name for itself with a huge following of customers, and celebrities that value what the brand is doing. In 2020, the HighKey companies are ready to create more content, do more PR, and engage in more networking with large influencers and high net worth individuals.

The contract will addresses formulations that will further improve the quality of human physical, psychological and cognitive performance and resilience.

Neil Fineman, greenONE Holdings Inc. CEO: ‘We address the issue of DIGESTION as the sole source for delivering HYDRATION & NUTRITION into the Human Body'

greenONE Holdings, Inc Las Vegas NV. GOH has been awarded a Phase 1 SBIR Grant Award from The US Air Force. The contract will help facilitate the advancement and creation of products utilizing The NDS (Nutrient Delivery System) Technology. Addressing the major concerns of rapidly replacing Hydration and Nutrition in Air Personnel while solving current "weight issues", and portability of their end products, is greenONE's focus, and ultimate objective. ‘We believe the same technology that helped create idrink beverages, will empower Air Personnel to perform their duties longer and more effectively. idrink, and iterations of this formula, can be utilized to solve very specific issue as it pertains to hydration, awareness,

New Age MRE's, and even pain management", says Neil Fineman CEO of greenONE. greenONE Holdings Inc, was established to steward an advanced nutrient delivery system (NDS) that fit perfectly with rapid hydration in the human body. The CEO, Neil Fineman, recognized the uniqueness of a "next generation", water-encapsulated, nutrient delivery system, that he foresaw as changing human nutrition, medicine, & even agriculture. greenONE created a partnership with the scientists that reduce the size of nutrients for fast absorption; while turning even the worst tasting nutrients like fish oil and turmeric, into tasteless and colorless liquids. greenONE believes that NDS is meant for "bodies at stress"; and as an additive for manufacturers worldwide.

The creation of idrink Advance Hydration Water, was the introduction of reducing vast amounts of essential vitamins and minerals so the body no longer needed to, facilitating rapid absorption. Combining that ability with turning all of these ingredients into tasteless, odorless, and clear liquids; and you have a new delivery method that can enhance beverage as bio available, spot specific concoctions, while making medicine and even agriculture more effective. NDS gives greenONE the ability to empower products as well as industries. The creators of iDrink Advanced Hydration Water call it "An IV in a bottle".

greenONE is a ‘green company' utilizing natural plant-based vitamins, to create GMO and BPA free products with no taste and no "waste". The company was incorporated in 2014 and is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2020 /  Hagens Berman urges Opera (NASDAQ:OPRA) investors who have suffered significant losses to submit their losses now to learn if they qualify to recover their investment losses. A securities class action has been filed against the Company and certain investors may have valuable claims.

Class Period: July 24, 2018 – Jan. 15, 2020

Opera (OPRA) Securities Class Action:

According to the Complaint, Defendants misled investors by misrepresenting and failing to disclose that (1) Opera's sustainable growth and market opportunity for its browser apps were significantly overstated and (2) Defendants' funded, owned, or otherwise controlled loan services apps and businesses relied on predatory lending practices, and (3) all the foregoing, once revealed, were reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on Opera's financial prospects, especially with respect to its lending apps' continued availability on the Google Play Store.

The market learned the truth on Jan. 16, 2020, when Hindenburg Research published a scathing report about the Company, accusing Opera of engaging in predatory short-term loans in Africa and India, deploying deceptive "bait and switch" tactics to lure borrowers, and charging egregious interest rates ranging from about 365% – 876%. According to the report, Opera's apps are now "in black and white violation of numerous Google rules," and therefore "this entire line of business is at risk of disappearing or being severely curtailed."

In addition, the Report accused Opera's chairman and CEO, Yahui Zhou of diverting $40 million of Company proceeds to entities owned or influenced by Zhou through a slew of questionable related-party transactions that were not adequately disclosed to investors.

In response, the price of Opera ADSs fell sharply on Jan. 16, 2020. Opera ADSs now trade sharply below Opera's IPO and secondary offering prices.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving Opera concealed the risks posed by its short term loan business and questionable related-party deals," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
