ATG Responds to Orchestrated Attack

American Technologies Group, Inc. (ATG) (OTCBB:ATEG) today said that a news release issued by attorney Michael Stoller on Friday, May 25, 2001 on behalf of his client, BWN Nuclear Waste Elimination Corporation, i.e., the Carroll brothers, is misleading and part of an unlawful pattern of conduct orchestrated by a group connected with the Church of Scientology, and led by prominent members of that church, the Carroll brothers and Michael Stoller, long-time leading Scientologists.

ATG noted that this is not the first time that attorney Stoller has released misleading and false data on behalf of his clients to the detriment of both truth and the interests of ATG. In December, 2000, he falsely and inaccurately mischaracterized a successful grant of a Preliminary Injunction obtained by ATG to protect its core technologies against onslaught by Bio-Friendly and the Carroll brothers. All of these legal various actions and lawsuits with the Carrolls and their proxies began after Noel Carroll visited the Company in March of 2000 openly declaring that he was going to take the baser and catalyst technology owned by ATG and commercially exploit it through the vehicle of Bio-Friendly and BWN. ATG successfully prevailed in securing a temporary injunction to prevent that theft of ATG's technology from happening.

The lawsuit attorney Stoller refers to in his May 25th release is clearly a nuisance lawsuit since the terms of the license agreement with ATG on the baser are clearly governed by compulsory arbitration provisions dictated by the agreement itself. Finally, as an additional example of this news release warfare carried forward by these Scientologists against ATG and its shareholders, on May 21st the Company received a settlement proposal from Bob Carroll demanding "that the baser and all developments thereof including the IE crystal technology are delivered to BWN NWEC". The last paragraph in the memo contained the threat that "Unfortunately, I am having difficulty holding back further press releases that Noel has instructed Michael Stoller to issue, so could you please come back to me by return."

The actions of Michael Stoller and the Carrolls are nothing less than an attempt to take for themselves what belongs to the ATG shareholders. These matters are so serious and so continuing that the Company is seeking a U.S. Department of Justice investigation of the fraud, the attempts at theft, and any connection with the Church of Scientology which the Company has reason to believe is fully aware of these unlawful acts.
