So this is Jonathan Mikula of PhoenixSurf
September 9, 2006
If you were a member of the now-closed autosurf program PhoenixSurf (www.phoenixsurf.com), chances are the name "Jonathan Mikula" rings a bell. You're familiar with it primarily because you've seen the name sign most email newsletters and updates from PhoenixSurf. Well, he did so because he is CEO of NMEGlobal (www.nmeglobal.com), parent company of PhoenixSurf.
Whats sets Jonathan Mikula apart from other CEOs, however, is the fact that he's only 20 years old. He is currently still a student taking up a business course at the University of Georgia. Wanna know how a 20-year old CEO who ran and managed a million-dollar autosurf program looks like? Continue reading.
The first image below is from the official NMEGlobal site. Nothing special about this, really. Succeeding pics, however, are photos you can't find publicly displayed anywhere on the net. These are exclusive photos supposedly of the man who ran PhoenixSurf, posted by a member in the TalkGold forum (www.talkgold.com/forum).
Now that you've seen how Jonathan Mikula looks like, the next time you bump into him while you're in Georgia, Hawaii, or the Bahamas, ask him whether the dead PhoenixSurf has successfully risen from the ashes to refund members who lost hundreds or thousands of money in the program.
The CEO pose!
Applying for The Apprentice?
Is that a Rolex?
Golfing with girlfriend?

I am interested in home-based jobs. Are there legitimate ones over the net? I am also skeptical about scams especially so with those that require a membership fee. How else can I determine if a home-based online job is legitimate and if they really pay for the work I render?
Thanks again..:)

Legitimate work-at-home jobs do exist, but most of them are hard to find (well, if they’re not, a lot would probably have quit their jobs). We do have a discussion folder, though, for these work-at-home jobs. Visit the Freelance and Work-at-Home Jobs folder to see what jobs are available and find out what PMT members think of certain work-at-home job opportunities.

I was just looking on the internet and found this article. I was wondering if you actually know Jonathan Mikula or if you are assuming that he has a rolex on his arm. Also, I noticed that you asked the question “Wanna know how a 20-year old CEO who ran and managed a million-dollar autosurf program looks like?” All you wanted to do was put pictures of him out there for people to know what he looked like? I am just wondering what the point of this article is.

[...] This is what Jonathan Mikula seems to be saying about the fall of PhoenixSurf (www.phoenixsurf.com), the erstwhile popular autosurf program he used to run. [...]

I think the point of the question mark at the end of the captions above is not to make a definitive statement but rather to inquire whether it is true or not.
You probably don’t know it but thousands of PhoenixSurf investors who got burned in that autosurf program would want to know who the people are behind this scam.
Mr. Mikula, though, was not the first to be given this “accolade.” Bryan Marsden of the more famous/infamous PIPS program has his own article in this site. Several other forums and sites have featured and splashed pictures of other scammers, err, program owners and admins.
As admins of investment programs, they have fiduciary obligations to their investors and when a program collapses, admins are expected to explain why. Mr. Mikula, unfortunately, did this only later last year. That was already too late. Very late.

yes that is a rolex on his wrist, he actually purchased two watches that day, the other was a breitling watch.

Hi Chris, was it you who sold them those watches? In any case, I think Jonathan is happy now with his watches while his PhoenixSurf investors are suffering from their losses.
