"The SEC separately filed a complaint in federal court against Barton and Goode along with Matthew C. Briggs, Kenneth Manzo, and Justin Sindelman. The complaint alleges they participated in a pump-and-dump scheme that acquired shares of dormant shell companies supposedly in the dietary supplement business, falsely touted news and products stemming from those companies, and dumped the shares on the market for investors to purchase at inflated prices.
Without admitting or denying the allegations, Barton, Goode, and Briggs agreed to settle the charges and consented to court orders requiring them to pay disgorgement plus interest and penalties totaling more than $8.7 million. Manzo agreed to admit wrongdoing and pay more than $95,000 to settle the charges. The litigation continues against Sindelman."
Just a shame these crooks and thieves are allowed to pay a nominal fine in spite of stealing millions and can still walk free. In any just system, Manzo and Barton would be locked up in Club Fed for a very long time indeed.
I just hope none of their many victims takes the aw into their own hands and administers their own personal brand of justice against these scum who have impoverished many people who fell for their lies.
Here's what Ken Manzo looks like in case you see him being harassed by some of his Mom and Pop targets and you want to go to his defense:
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
