Interesting post about Guy M Jean-Pierre, in house counsel to Josesph Meuse, the shell broker and transfer agent in this scam, Also notable is Frederick Lehrer, ROTHS's legal counsel who rendered FSPM's opinions. Investors should assume the same lack of care was used with ROTH's opinions. Too many red flags to ignore.

I couldn't get that link you posted to work

http://m.newyorklawjournal.com/?slreturn=20170113044623/#/article/1202776733402/7/Jailed%20Lawyer,%20Newly%20Released,%20Arrested%20in%20Marijuana-Related%20Stock%20Scheme

But if you visit the main page of the NY Law Journal you can read the headline a little ways down the page

I've been waiting to hear something about Guy M Jean-Pierre's arrest since the SEC announced he was in custody back on September 16, 2016 when they brought their Administrative Proceedings against attorney Tom A Ditommaso in the Fusion Pharm Inc (FSPM) case

https://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2016/33-10215.pdf

See the foot note from page 4





Why nothing was ever announced by the DOJ or the SEC for the earlier arrest I'm not sure. To me it would be big news since Jean-Pierre had fled the country for the Dominican Republic after he was charged for forging some 111 attorney opinion letters back in 2012.

https://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2012/comp-pr2012-257.pdf

I remember posting about that a few weeks before the Complaint came out

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=79162460

And then did a follow up post after the SEC brought charges

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=82522995

Just a quick review of that whole incident:

On April 21, 2010 the OTC Markets banned Guy M Jean-Pierre from providing attorney opinion letters due to "repeated missing information and inconsistencies" about the issuers and his lack of due diligence in his past letters. The ban came shortly after the SEC filed charges against Big Apple Consulting, Marc Jablon, Matthew MaGuire, Mark Kaley, Keith Jablon, and MMJM Investments for a share selling scheme run on Cyberkey Solutions Inc (CKYS).

https://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2009/comp21305.pdf

The attorney used to provide the legal opinions to help create all of the free trading stock in the CKYS share selling scam was Guy M Jean-Pierre.

Guy M Jean-Pierre also provided opinion letters for several other Big Apple Consulting tickers around this same time including IJJ Corp (IJJP), Apple Rush Co (APRU), Artfest International Inc (fka ARTS), Cloud Centric Inc (fka CLDR), Connectyx Technologies Holdings Group Inc (CTYX), Green Bridge Industries Inc (GRBG), Protek Capital Inc (PRPM), Solos Endoscopy Inc (SNDY), Shots Spirit Corp (SSPT), 3D Eye Solutions (TDEY), and Gold Entertainment Group Inc (GEGP) among others. Other Big Apple tickers and Big Apple attorneys can be found in the ibox section of this message board forum.

After Guy M Jean-Pierre was placed on the prohibited attorneys list he continued to provide attorney letters by forging the name of his niece, attorney Leslie Dinwoodie, on the letters. Bogus letters showed up on the OTC Markets website for the following tickers: ARTS, GESM/CLDR, KSQR, SSPT, EHSI, NACF, RPPR/SUTI, CNEX, CNFO, CTYX, GDHI, GRBG, IJJP, and THRA.

A few months later in December of 2012, the SEC brought charges against Guy M Jean-Pierre because of the forged letters.

https://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2012/comp-pr2012-257.pdf

In that SEC Complaint we find out that besides providing attorney letters to the OTC Markets for Issuers, Guy M Jean-Pierre also forged at least 111 attorney opinion letters to transfer agents using his niece's name illegally making more than 73 billion shares of stock free trading. Bogus attorney opinion letters were used to create free trading stock in APRU, ARTS, BDGR, CAGR, CLDR, EHSI, SSPT, TIVU, and USFM. Just with ARTS alone, Guy Jean-Pierre illegally helped to make 69,243,164,790 shares free tradings. Guy Jean-Pierre wrote 71 legal opinion letters for ARTS and 29 of those letters came directly from his personal email. With USFM, Guy Jean-Pierre used a forged attorney opinion to issue 1.6 million free trading shares to his law firm, Jean-Pierre & Jean-Pierre LLC.

The forgeries were exposed because an individual filed a grievance against Guy M Jean-Pierre with the Florida State Bar on February 18, 2011 because of the bogus opinion letters. Eventually, the grievance led to a Notice of Finding of Probable Cause for Further Disciplinary Proceedings being issued against Jean-Pierre on April 19, 2012. From there a Bar Complaint was filed by the Florida State Bar on October 10, 2012. Once the Bar Complaint was filed the SEC had no choice but to take action against Guy M Jean-Pierre. The Bar Complaint led to Guy M Jean-Pierre being disbarred by the State of Florida on January 13, 2014. The State of New York also disbarred Guy M Jean-Pierre on February 2, 2016.

Further fall out from the Big Apple/Guy M Jean-Pierre share selling schemes came when FINRA filed a Complaint against the brokerage firm Delaney Equity Group LLC (run by David C Delaney) on December 6, 2012 for their role in facilitating the sale of almost a billion newly issued, unregistered equity shares by Big Apple Consulting in five Big Apple/Jean-Pierre issuers: Connectyx (CTYX), ProPalms USA, Inc. (PRPM), Shot Spirits (SSPT), Solos Endoscopy (SNDY) and Green Bridge (GRBG).

In all 5 cases the shares were made free trading using Legal Opinion letters provided by Guy M Jean-Pierre. As a result of the Complaint, Delaney Equity Group LLC was put on 6 months probation and fined $215,000 by FINRA.

Guy M Jean-Pierre ended up fleeing the country and moving to the Dominican Republic where he changed his name to Marcelo Dominquez De Guerra.

The SEC brought a Final judgment against Guy M Jean-Pierre on May 9, 2015 ordering him to pay $62,000 in disgorgement with interest plus a civil monetary penalty of $1,425,000. Jean-Pierre also received a lifetime penny stock ban and was suspended from practicing in front of the SEC. Since Jean-Pierre is now disbarred he would be unable to practice in front of the SEC any more anyways.

An Indictment can be found stemming from Guy M Jean-Pierre's participation in the Fusion Pharm Inc (FSPM) share selling scam. The following is a link to the court filings that were just posted this week on January 10th, the same time as the latest Guy M Jean-Pierre arrest occurred:

https://promotionstocksecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Jean-Pierre.pdf

According to documents from the Indictment, Guy M Jean-Pierre was taken into custody in New York for the forged opinion letters then on September 8, 2016 pleaded guilty to forgery in the third degree and falsifying business records in the second degree (both misdemeanors) for which he was sentenced to one-year imprisonment.

On the day Guy M Jean-Pierre was released by the New York City Department of Corrections, January 10, 2017, he was immediately transferred into the custody of the Denver FBI stemming from his involvement with the Fusion Pharm Corp (FSPM) share selling scheme. The arrest warrant was posted for Guy M Jean-Pierre by the the US District Court of Colorado for the arrest on June 13, 2016.

According to the Indictment for Jean-Pierre it looks like the FBI ran a sting contacting Guy M Jean-Pierre in the Dominican Republic in March of 2016 with the help of one of the Fusion Pharm Corp (FSPM) insiders then lured Jean-Pierre into participating in a money laundering scheme between April 22, 2016 and April 29, 2016. A meeting was set up with Jean-Pierre in Miami scheduled for the end of April 2016. Guy M Jean-Pierre flew to Miami for the meeting and was arrested following the meeting on an outstanding warrant issued on an Indictment brought by the State of New York, New York County arising from the SEC's civil case for the earlier forged opinion letters. I guess the Denver FBI decided to let Jean-Pierre serve his time for the earlier case first before getting him on the more recent charges.


It all makes sense since it was the Denver FBI that has been involved in the Fusion Pharm Corp (FSPM) investigation.

Here is a run down of the Fusion Pharm stuff:

While the SEC Civil case against Guy M Jean-Pierre was going on, the SEC and FBI in Denver began investigating Fusion Pharm Inc (FSPM) in December of 2013.

On May 16, 2014, the SEC suspended trading in FSPM.

https://www.sec.gov/litigation/suspensions/2014/34-72177.pdf

On June 2, 2014, the day that FSPM resumed trading on the grey market, the FSPM CEO, Scott Dittman, issued a statement in which he disclosed that the FBI had seized the company's records/computers and that the investigation was believe to be mostly centered around the trading activity of a FSPM shareholder named William Sears who had previously pleaded guilty to federal charges involving securities fraud and bribery in 2007.

Guy M Jean-Pierre was listed as the corporate secretary and corporate counsel for FSPM.

On September 16, 2016, the SEC filed an Administrative Proceeding against the main FSPM insiders.

https://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2016/33-10210.pdf

According to the SEC document, Tod A Ditommaso assisted in the share selling scam by provided at least 10 legal opinion letters between July 2012 and August 2013. The SEC further alleges that the letters provided by Tod A Ditommaro were drafted by Guy M Jean-Pierre then emailed from Jean-Pierre to Ditommaro who put the letters on his letter head, signed them, and sent them back to Jean-Pierre to be put into use. Jean-Pierre paid Ditommaro approximately $175 per legal opinion. According to the SEC, Tod A Ditommaso's sole contact for FSPM was Guy M Jean-Pierre. Like DiTommaso, Frederick Lehrer authored opions for FSPM
