Next Bridge Hydrocarbons Announces Engaging Christian Attar Law Firm

MIDLAND, Texas, Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Bridge Hydrocarbons, Inc. ("Next Bridge," "our," "we," or the "Company"), an oil and natural gas exploration and production company with interests in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma announced today the following:

The Company is pleased to announce engaging the services of the Houston-based law firm Christian Attar. Christian Attar has been engaged to explore and investigate any and all potential claims related to harassment, business disparagement, libel, slander, tortious interference, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and violations of the Administrative Procedures Act. The Company will be working closely with founding partner James "Wes" Christian, whom we believe is the best candidate for investigating such potential claims given his expertise in this area of litigation.

As stated in prior press releases, the Company has become aware of shareholder ledger imbalances at several brokerage firms totaling amounts exceeding the aggregate 2.65 million share short interest position in MMTLP stated publicly by FINRA. The Company wishes to reiterate that after more than two years, we have yet to uncover the full magnitude of these imbalances. This is in spite of multiple attempts to recruit assistance from overseeing Regulators.

Chairman and CEO Greg McCabe stated, "We are excited by these latest additions to our growing advisory team. Working with Wes Christian, a seasoned and highly successful litigator and an expert well-versed in our story from the beginning, marks the dawning of a new era for our legal campaign. We will not stand by as nefarious actors with hidden agendas spread misinformation regarding our Company, our business activities or our personnel. Our patient and loyal shareholders deserve us to protect the integrity of both Next Bridge and their investment in it, and I want to truly thank once again our online community, the MMTLP ARMY, for their long-standing support and steadfast dedication."
