SEC revokes the registration of MRKL
https://www.sec.gov/litigation/aljdec/2008/id364cff.pdf
THANK GOD FOR THE SEC!!!!
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Now if we can flush the rest of the floaters hicks left behind; gbmr, nnri, tcnh......
MRKL - Rest In Pieces
Its official - MRKL is no more - then again, its been a zombie stock for years.
Played with this one back in 2004. Once Cornell got involved it was game over. Too bad so many people got suckered into this scam and Tarini and his cronies got away with it. I still have 77 TCNH dividend shares. LOL! How long until they are worthless. Oh wait, they pretty much are.

ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS
Commission Dismisses Review Proceeding in the Matter of Markland Technologies, Inc.
The Commission has dismissed a review proceeding in the matter of Markland Technologies, Inc. based on the petitioner's failure to file a brief in support of its petition for review. In dismissing the proceeding, the Commission also gave notice that the Dec. 15, 2008, initial decision of the administrative law judge has become the final decision of the Commission with respect to Markland Technologies, Inc. and declared the order contained in that decision revoking the registration of the registered securities of Markland Technologies, Inc. effective. (Rel. 34-59476; File No. 3-13147)
is MRKL still ..alive, or bankrupted. Why the change in
shares and values on my portfolio ?
Still wont help all of the investors they hurt.
Looks like EQIR will get the contract and TCNH 23 million and MRKL 3 million or so.
The sale of EOIR to LLC was structured as a stock sale in which LLC acquired all of the outstanding stock of EOIR in exchange for
approximately $34 million in cash, $11 million of which was paid at closing and $23 million of which will be paid upon the successful re-award
to EOIR of the contract with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate. On April 4, 2008, the U.S Army issued EOIR a
Notice of Intent to Issue an Award with respect to this contract. Based on this information, the Company concluded that the outcome of the
contingency was determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. As a result, the Company has recorded this $23 million contingent consideration as
part of income from discontinued operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The award is subject to all contract awardees meeting the
small business criteria and size standard as determined by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). EOIR has responded to its request for
size standard information and anticipates receiving the contract award by the end of June 2008. The Company has also recorded a $300,000
deferred tax liability related to this gain, which offsets the gain from discontinued operations.
They most CERTIANLY DID
I fee sorry for the USA
look like a good stock from the beginning but what is going on?. I personally think management had screwed shareholders
You better follow the discussions about Markland/Technest on the RagingBull board: http://ragingbull.quote.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=BB:mrkl
Do you know what happening? Monday?
What about TCNH. No volume?
Volume and price moving up tooday. Maybe we see a sale of teh company and/or TCNH next week. Hope srprings eternal
Litigation has been settled and the CEO has resigned. New 8k shows a lot of cram downs and settlements.
Here is my new thinking I sold
"MRKL" and "TCNH" for what I could get..
put my money into anorher stock.
In My Humble Opinion,
Thank you Jolyn
Here is my thinking I am holding
"MRKL" and "TCNH" for better a price..
and try to flip them if I can..
Seems to me that the CEO of "MRKL" will get a $1,000,000 bonus
if "MRKL" hits 0.05 for five days..
Everyone has been dumping "MRKL"
A good time for the insiders to buy back in........
IMO thank you Jolyn
Yes those numbers were prior to the R/S.
The point is that 10 days after taking over, Tarini handed himself 10% of the company through ippartners
cta751:
Not sure where you found the O/S numbers? The O/S equals the authorized of 500MM. The Series F preferred have the effect of bring the O/S to 1B shares.
You'll find more information about MRKL if your read the SEC filings for TCNH. Here's a good start.
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1077800/000101968707000749/technest_sb2a1-031407.htm
You also need to investigate the Series E preferred shares. The only asset of value MRKL owns is TCNH stock. MRKL is nothing but a shell. Here's a breakdown of the TCNH shares held by MRKL.
10,582,000 -- MRKL's TCNH shares
4,640,194 -- Escrowed for Series E Conversion
1,739,130 -- Escrowed to secure TCNH loan
500,000 -- Grants to Tarini
500,000 -- Grants to Pereira
----------
3,202,676 -- Remaining Shares

the numbers which you are quoting are from a 2002 filing at which time Delmar Kintner was CEO. As far as ip Partners goes, I haven't gotten that far and haven't dug into that. As I said, I still have DD to do and plan to dig into it.
The 1 for 60 R/S was in 2003 and I don't see where one has occured since then. There are currently 350,449,710 outstanding Shares and that was as of 5/7/2007. I also see there hasn't been a name change since 2001.
While there are some things to look at and dig into and questions to be answered, overall MRKL does not appear to be anywhere near as bad as most pinkies are. Most I look at never even make it to the asking questions stage they are simply ruled out and I move on. Thanks for the heads up and I will continue my digging.
Markland issued 239,927,344 shares of common stock, representing approximately eighty percent (80%) of its outstanding common stock, to Eurotech, and 29,990,917 shares of common stock, representing approximately ten percent (10%) of its outstanding common stock, to ipPartners and

7) Consists of 590,192 shares currently outstanding, of which 390,192 shares are held by ipPartners, Inc., a company controlled and wholly owned by Robert Tarini,
http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/quotes/secarticle.asp?&sid=2066568&symb=TCNH&guid=47228...
And that's only 2 weeks into it, a 1 for 60 reverse split and 500,000,000 shares later......
thing that I have found that impressed me was the CEO. Do some research on Robert Tarini. He resigned his position as CEO for Technest Holdings (TCNH)in March 2006, has been with MRKL since. TCNH was trading up over 10.00 per share around that same time frame. I haven't been able to find anything negative about him and from what I researched on TCNH so far, I haven't found any signs of bad activity. No symbol change since 2001, not a huge number of splits, small number of outstanding shares. It appears he left TCNH in good shape so one can only assume he will treat MRKL likewise. Still doing some digging but I'm liking this stock, just needs some momentum and attention IMO.
this used to be a great company. I've played it back in 2005 ...
Strange that there is no more activity in this stock?!
At a price of 0.0135$ you only have to spend 2.62$ on Markland shares to get 1 Technest share, which is at the moment worth 1.22$...
Pennies, thanks for your quick reply!
Strong Buy with resistance at .0148:

Kinwoep,
You have to buy shares the day before the ex-dividend date... since May 7th is a Monday, that means you have to purchase them on Friday, May 4th to get the shares. It just so happens that this is the payment date as well, so if you buy them at any time on May 4th, you will receive the dividend... if you buy MRKL on May 7th, you will not receive the dividend.
http://www.sec.gov/answers/dividen.htm
I thought I understood the way how those dividends are paid, but I'm confused again. From the press release:
"As previously announced, the record date for the Company's distribution of Technest common stock is April 25, 2007 and the payment date is May 4, 2007. Based on those dates, the NASD has established an ex-dividend date of May 7, 2007. "
"The ex-dividend date is the date on or after which a security is traded without the right to receive a specific dividend or distribution. Any shares of Markland common stock outstanding on the record date that are traded after the record date but before the ex-dividend date will be traded with the right to receive the Technest dividend shares. Shares of Markland common stock traded on or after the ex-dividend date shall be traded without the right to receive any Technest dividend shares. "
How can the payment day (May 4) be before the ex-dividend day (May 7), if you still have the right to receive a dividend before the ex-dividend day? Can somebody clarify these please? Thanks in advance.
Finally, what a nightmare. I kind of like TCNH cause they had the cajones to stand up to the lenders.
I suspect they are about to be punished for their impudence.
Axiom, I got in... I just couldn't believe the dividend and wanted to make sure I understood it correctly. I feel that TCNH is very undervalued and has a lot of potential... and I think we will be seeing some big news from them (i.e. Omnibus Contract, Buyout, etc.) shortly after the dividend.
The reason I mention the buyout is because they already had a press release earlier alluding to the fact of "strategic alternatives". This is a DOD company and I would believe it will be highly sought after. Small DOD companies have been a very big buyout target of private equity firms lately.... and with the numbers TCNH posts and the few shares outstanding, investors have a huge chance of making $$$$. GLTY
Yes, it is an incentive. The shares of TCNH will be given as an addition to your shares you already hold in MRKL. Don't listen to that other poster.
Dividend finally announced !!!!! NEWS!!!
Looks like the CHUM is hitting the fan here!!!!
http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-nysdce/case_no-1:2007cv02576/case_id-303211/
I guess the lenders just couldn't stand the thought of the little common holders getting a piece of the action.
Yes you are wrong. the pay out is 1 TCNH for ever 194 MRKL shares you have.
194x.0115 = 2.23 and TCNH is at 1.55 now.
So in long run you would better off just buying TCNH @ 1.55/share
ACTIVE MRKL BOARD/CHAT ON RAGINGBULL. Go there for info
Am I missing something? If you purchase MRKL today, you are able to receive the shares of TCNH since an ex-dividend date has not yet been declared... at least that's the way I am reading it. Per the release:
"Because the NASD has not yet declared an ex-dividend date, any shares of Markland common stock outstanding on the record date (May 1, 2006) that are (or have been) traded after the record date but before the ex-dividend date are (or have been) traded with the right to receive the Technest dividend shares. Shares of Markland common stock traded on or after the ex-dividend date shall be traded without the right to receive any Technest dividend shares."
I would think that this would be a big incentive for investors to buy MRKL at this price. Am I wrong?
yes i agree, finally they update dividend too.
we've all been waiting for this dividend of technest shares, its been forever since they were supposed to pay that out. the pr about it shows they are still alive over there and i do think we will run past the .014 finally.
batscam_reloaded and new investors
The con stops here
These links will post in IHUB and you know we can't show
the Volume...
As a rule the value of a stock drops from 20% to 40%
Once Illegal hedge funds start shorting a stock..
With "MRKL" we could be looking a
3000%+ drop in value..
Also some companies have went out of business over Illegal
shorting
This will not be the case with "MRKL" becaues of the "TCNH"
spin-off or dividend..
The shorting problem is so big with "MRKL" even the SEC will
have problems.
[more on that in another post..]
This is why that "MRKL" could be the best investment ever..
Time will prove me right..
Even our M&Ms are going to have a big problem..
MY CALL HOLD OR BUY "MRKL"

http://ragingbull.quote.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=OTCF:MRKL
hey this chart looks familiar
reminds me of certain other pinkies i own. wonder how big the sell off will be monday before the next leg up begins.
It will be atlease one month before we can get TCNH shares as dividend, until then we can keep buying MRKL shares. The current price looks very attractive.
11/10/2006 BUYINS.NET: MRKL, SERG Have Also Been Added To Naked Short List Today (Comtex)
BUYINS.NET, www.buyins.net, announced today that these select companies have been added to the NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE naked short threshold list: Markland Technologies, Inc. (OTC: MRKL), Star Energy Corp (OTCBB: SERG).
