Richard P Greene .. the pathetic part for this low life is that he was busted for the exact same thing back in 2003 (bribing an undercover FBI officer with an illegal kickback). Back then it was MovieO Network Inc. Greene got suspended from practicing law by the state of Florida Bar Association for 5 years, but he continued to practice law through a woman named Wani Manly and a guy named Mark C Perry including for the ticker you mentioned, scam ticker GTGP.

When I first started researching stocks beginning in 2010 with the Petro America Corp scam, I ran across Richard P Greene facilitating that scam.

Really pathetic that Greene would go back to doing what got him busted the first time around in 2003 (illegal kickback schemes). I hope the FBI and SEC are getting the message that slapping these low life criminals on the wrist the first time does nothing to deter them from committing the same crimes again especially after the 140 million dollar scam they just took down in which pretty much everybody involved was a repeat offender having already showed up in litigation in the past.

Here is a nice run down of our criminal, Richard P Greene

Richard P. Greene PA was once involved in a huge securities fraud case that he ended up pleading guilty to

The scam company's name was MovieO Network, Inc, (formally VideoMotion Network, Inc.)

After being charged in 2003 Richard P. Greene changed his business name from Richard P. Greene PA to Richard P. Greene Business & Legal Support, Inc.

From the court documents:

1. Facts

A federal grand jury issued a five-count indictment charging attorney Richard Phillip Greene and others with the following felonies: Count 1, conspiracy to commit mail fraud and securities fraud; Count 2, mail fraud; Count 3, mail fraud; Count 4, securities fraud; and Count 5, securities fraud. Greene pled guilty to Count 5, and the remaining counts were dismissed. The federal court approved the plea agreement and Greene was convicted as charged in Count 5. Based on his conviction, this Court summarily suspended Greene for three years, see R. Regulating Fla. Bar 3-7.2 (providing for the summary suspension of an attorney convicted of a felony under applicable law), and The Florida Bar (the Bar) filed a two-count complaint alleging that Greene had committed ethical violations based on the following offenses: Count 1, securities fraud and trust account violations; and Count 2, mail fraud. The Court referred the matter to a referee. Greene filed a motion to dismiss, which was denied, and the Bar filed a motion for summary judgment, which was granted.

The referee conducted a hearing on the issue of sanctions and made the following findings of fact:

1. Respondent was suspended by the Court on April 1, 2004, as a result of pleading guilty to his participation in a criminal conspiracy to commit securities fraud and mail fraud.

2. For a three year period from August 1999 to August 2002, Respondent acted as the securities counsel for MovieO Network, Inc. (“MovieO”) and its controlling shareholder, Walter “Art” Dorow.

3. During that three-year period of time, Respondent agreed that a $250,000 undisclosed bribe or kickback would be paid to an undercover FBI agent, posing as a foreign mutual fund manager and using the name of Michael Patterson, so the agent would induce the mutual fund to buy approximately 200,000 free-trading shares of MovieO stock at $2.50 per share for a total cost of $500,000.

4. Respondent also agreed to pay various kickbacks to two cooperating witnesses involved in the transactions.

5. Respondent conducted a $20,000 “test” trade in order to facilitate the fraudulent conduct.

6. Because of Respondent's involvement in the securities fraud scheme, The Florida Bar requested Respondent's trust account records, but he failed to provide the Bar with the records as requested.

7. Respondent failed to produce his deposit slips or some form of deposit record.

8. Additionally, Respondent caused to be sent by private and commercial interstate carriers certain documents related to the fraudulent securities transactions thereby committing mail fraud.
