http://www.scribd.com/doc/183716085/Tytan-International-Bankruptcy

Mark A. Leonard CEO of Tytan International has previously filed personal bankruptcy in 2013. Subsequently CEO Leonard filed Ch 7 bankruptcy for Tytan International Inc, the wholly owned subsidiary of Tytan Holdings Inc. As of this writing, Tytan International Inc. no longer exists.

Tytan Holdings CEO Leonard is currently the defendant in an adversarial challenge. One of the primary issues is what happened to the nearly $900,000 raised in the sale of Tytan Holdings stock.

SEC WHISTLE BLOWER COMPLAINT REGARDING TYTAN HOLDINGS INC
AND MARK A. LEONARD


I am reporting what appears to be a classic penny stock scheme.

I have been in litigation with Tytan International (subsidiary of Tytan Holdings Inc.). Through this litigation I have become aware of apparent reporting fraud perpetrated by Tytan Holdings Inc (TYTN) and it’s CEO Mark Leonard. Through the process of discovery I have obtained “original” information to support my complaint. I anticipate additional discovery will become available in he near future as we pursue further litigation and discovery.

In 2009 Mark Leonard acquired Ault Glazer & Co (AULT). Prior to Mark Leonard’s acquisition, AULT was regarded in the industry as a “shell company.” (http://pennystockgurus.blogspot.com/2010/04/tytn-revenues-and-assets-growing.html). Comments from many investors on www.investorshub.com discuss AULT’s notorious reputation.

Following acquisition of AULT in 2009, the name was changed to Tytan Holdings Inc (TYTN). Mark Leonard then publicly promoted “significant increases in revenue” by it’s newly acquired subsidiary Tytan International. Meanwhile, in litigation, Mark Leonard was claiming significant decrease in revenue since 2008 in excess of 70%.

Tytan Holdings later increased shares by more than 5 billion which were sold until the price per share was less than .0002. Tytan Holdings later did a reverse split of 150 to 1. The share price has continued to fall to a pre split conversion of .0000666. Conversations posted on www.investorshub.com indicate investors have realized huge losses. All the while proponents on Investors Hub continue to promote the stock.

Below are five primary areas of concern I have been able to clearly define and support. I have provided hyperlinks to supporting documents which are imbedded in the text. This document (with active hyperlinks) along with supporting documents are located at www.issuu.com/tytantractorinfo. TYTN public filings can be found at http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/TYTN/filings

Summary: I believe the facts presented support reporting fraud perpetrated by Mark Leonard. Following Leonard’s acquisition of AULT, he knew he intended to insert his private company (Tytan International) into the shell later called Tytan Holdings. At the time he inserted Tytan International he knew the revenues were declining. He also knew he had multiple litigations. He knew he was in default on a significant line of credit. As of the 2011 annual report, Tytan continues to claim there are no legal proceedings that can have a material effect on the Issuer's business. Stockholder comments on Investor’s Hub warn of looming bankruptcy.
