Ironically this appeared in Leasing News on November 3,2000:

“This appeared on the Yahoo UCP Stock Message Board from Thomas S.Depping, Houston, Texas.

"If all of you guys like this company, then you should check out mine, Sierracities.com! We offer no communication to our investors, hopeless visions of B2B internet leasing, and poor management! YEEEEEEEHHHHAWWWWW! "

P.S. Sierra Cities Stock at last check was almost $5.”

KINGWOOD, TEXAS, – Main Street National Bank, Kingwood, Texas announced that an investor group led by Thomas Depping has made an investment of over $21 million in the Bank. Main Street will use these funds to capitalize its new equipment leasing division to provide funding to equipment leasing companies and lease brokers on a national basis.

As a result of the transaction Depping was elected Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank.

Further, he said: “As we develop our national presence in the equipment leasing industry Main Street Bank will truly become ‘America's Small Business Bank.'”
