Mr. Houser said: "The Grand Jury vindicated the existing Board of Directors and Officers of BioTech by stating: 'BioTech has assets, revenues and substantial business activities. However, unbeknownst to (Houser), the principals of HaloLaser BioTherapy, LLC and Charles R. Crane MD & Associates, the coconspirators and accomplices... were intent to perpetrate their fraudulent scheme.'"
The indictment continues: "(Jeff) Turino's coconspirators and associates were instrumental in attempting to conceal Turino's involvement. The conspirators exploited (BioTech)... by fraudulently issuing, reissuing and transferring, offering and selling millions of shares of Corbel Holdings and BioTech Medics." (Note: Turino, an adjudged illegal penny stock manipulator, had been under a prior 2003 Court Order restraining Turino's involvement with Penny Stocks.)
The government is seeking individual "in personam criminal forfeiture" aggregates of over $140 Million in disgorgement and restitution to BioTech Medics victims for the crimes committed if the parties are found guilty. The grand jury has valued the aggregate damages to BMCS at approximately $1.30 per share. BMCS is currently trading at $.03. The indictment indicated several more coconspirator indictments are expected!
