Bruce Perlowin and Don Steinberg CommonWatch--2011
Bruce Perlowin and Don Steinberg, you are con men. You know it. I know it. Investors should know it, too, by now.
What I wrote in my previous post is all true, every word.
Don Steinberg and Bruce Perlowin are convicted felons. They were busted for heading up a smuggling operation that smuggled tons of marijuana into the United States and Canada in the 1980s. On the import side, it was a 200-man operation -- very big, very sophisticated. On the export side, Steinberg's and Perlowin's business partners included crime organizations and gangs, including Columbian drug lords.
Now the part that should concern investors.
After Steinberg's release from federal prison, sometime around 1990, he ran the corporate shell game known as Club VivaNet. Club VivaNet preyed upon poor migrant workers from Mexico looking for a way to call back home.
There's more about Club VivaNet -- it never made investors a dime. Steinberg was the only one who made money. Club Vivanet was a classic pump-and-dump scheme.
Adding insult to injury, from its very incorporation, Medical Marijuana Inc.(MJNA) was "folded" into Club VivaNet. MJNA is but one shell in a shell game involving multiple shells.
Corporate reorganizations, corporate name changes, phoney changes in nominal ownership, stock splits, reverse stoc splits, stock options, warrants, sale of restricted stock, phoney SEC filings, delayed SEC filings, etc., are all in Steinberg's bag of tricks in creating smoke screens that make it tough for SEC regulators and FBI investigators to keep up with him.
Does anybody out there really believe Steinberg and Perlowin "sold" their business interest in MJNA?
Nope. I don't. They've probably parked their ownership interest in somebody's else's name. Remember, Steinberg and Perlowin are good at this sort of stuff. These guys are con men. They're professionals. The little guy doesn't stand a chance. Investors don't stand a chance.
Meanwhile, let's catch up with Bruce Perlowin's bio.
After Bruce Perlowin's release from the federal prison at Lompoc, Perlowin ran a phoney medical device scam that was busted by the FDA in a sting operation called "Operation Cure All". The name of the company was Energy Wellness. The name of Perlowin's partner in that fraud was named Jim Folsom. He is now in prison. Perlowin plead out and got off with a fine.
There's more.
Bruce's wife, Svetlana Ogorodnikova, was implicated in a murder-for-hire scheme that resulted in the conviction of Kimberley Bailey, who didn't just have her victim murdered, but tortured to death by the member of the Arellano Felix crime family, part of the Mexican Mafia. The gangster's name was Humberto Iribe, and he was convicted and sentenced to a 25-year prison term.
The victim, Rick Post, was killed in Tijuana.
For the record, Ms. Ogorodnikova is also a convicted felon. She was a KGB agent convicted of espionage. In fact, she seduced and flipped the first FBI agent ever to be convicted of treason -- the first in the entire history of the FBI. His name was Richard Miller.
Also for the record, following her release from federal prison, Ms. Ogorodnikova left the United States and moved to Mexico.
Finally, I have recently heard that Ms. Ogorodnikova is back in prison. Last year, she was picked up by the U.S. Marshall Service for violating her parole in the Kimberley Bailey murder-for-hire case.
The only think I got wrong in my previous post was stating where Don Steinberg lives. This morning, I was corrected by an informant. I was told Steinberg's legal residence is Boynton Beach, Florida.
Disappointed investors should look to serve him there.
And the whereabouts of Bruce Perlowin?
Last year, he tried buying his old house in Ukiah, CA, with a block of worthless MJNA stock. Back in the day, Perlowin was busted at the Denny's restaurant in Ukiah. He lived in the foothills of Ukiah, off of Robinson Creek Road. The house had bullet-proof walls. It was like a fortress.
Rumor has it, Perlowin now hangs out in Marina Del Rey, CA.
He also gives Kimberley Bailey's old ranch, in Fallbrook, near San Diego, as his address.
Good luck serving Perlowin with a lawsuit. You'll need a private investigator to find him.
WORD TO THE WISE: Anybody with any questions or doubts about anything of what I just shared with you, Goggle it up. I've just given you a lot of very specific search words. Sadly, it's all factual.
