Bayport International Holdings Inc. (BAYP)

Too long of a post, didn't read it

Good! It was too informative.

fact is BAYP has alot going on, read the news dude

Oh yeah...dude! Strickland is going to register the stock with an S-1? LOL

Bayport International Holdings,Inc (OTCBB:BAYP)is involved in the ownership and development of high-profile hospitality properties and other potential real estate ventures.

This is going to be hilarious if Strickland carries through with a S-1. Where he has to explain this so called involvement past a mailbox drop. LOL Or will Strickland perform the ole bait-and-switch trick? Where he files a S1, and the withdraws it? Stay tuned for entertainment courtesy of Strickland.

Don't forget the other big news 19-Mar-21, when the Strickland gang agreed with the SEC

However,the Company confirms that it is not aware of any undisclosed material change or development in its business and operations that would account for the recent unusual market activity in the Company’s stock.

In another words don't blame us. We didn't pump anything of importance. Because nothing has happened. Might call it "dude" news. LOL

and maybe get rich like me! LOL!!!

Yeah I made millions in BAYP recently just by staring at the screen. LOL

$15 a share sounds good-only in a dream


The baseline for BAYP remains: A company with no cash, no assets, no revenue. Most importantly a recently suspended stock, with the SEC engaged in an informal investigation of what Strickland has been up to.

Is it possible for a completely worthless Microcrap stock to go up? Sure. It happens daily. But what are the missing ingredients for BAYP?

1. The scammers inside have to come up with a scam angle, and issue regular PR pumps about it. Most Microcrap scams don't move much unless there's an average of 2-3 PR pumps per month. The scam angle Strickland was attempting to setup before the suspension was that BAYP was a real estate development company - with no collateral to develop a fish pond, much less hotel resorts. As in precisely the crap that attracted the attention of the SEC. So is a Strickland going to pursue that? That's a "duh" question. He'll lay low, and there goes the regular PR pumps down the drain.

2. What's the supply of brand new "investors" for this stock? As in the susceptible population capability of getting excited over a scam? Is BAYP a new stock in Microcrap ville? Nope. Read my pinned post. Besides the recent R/S 1:100000, there was an earlier one of 1:100. This scam has been around the block a few times. Meanwhile it's in competition with other new Microcrap scams for the so called "investors". Which means the only buying/selling are the retail traders. Playing a game of musical chair chicken with each other in the middle of the road.

3. The liquidity of the float at 1.3M shares is low. Creating a higher price after the recent R/S 1:100000. Penny retail traders don't like trading dollars. Because if they did, they would be trading exchange listed stocks, and not be trading Microcraps. Ideally for a Microcrap to be PR pumped or pumped by 3rd party sites, the O/S=Float should be 200-300M. Providing more liquidity at a lower PPS. Surprise 300M was the number Strickland came up with the bogus shares for debt he cooked up. He was setting things up for a dump later on, but the mean ole SEC arrived first. Now with the SEC looking on that dump is frozen. Which means retail traders have low liquidity with a higher PPS to trade with.

In summary: One has a stock starting at $2 post R/S. Low liquidity, high PPS. No insider help coming with PR pumps to generate "news" to trade off of. No spritely new "investors" buying worthless garbage. Just retail traders playing musical chair chicken in the middle of the road with each other. Trying to time flip trades based on ... feelings. Should work like a charm. LOL GL.

[tdbowieknife]

Yep... PPS is Crazy high.

I'm back in, going to $15 a share sounds good to Chartmaster!

Yeh right! Given the reality of an SEC TRADING SUSPENSION and the FACT the SEC and DOJ will continue the investigation of BAYP and its social media P&D promotion for up to 5 years, there is a far better chance BAYP will be REVOKED long before it ever sees another Market Cap approaching that of Boeing, American Express, and 3M!

It's mind-numbing to consider at $4 per share the BAYP Market Cap exceeds a $1 BILLION, which is beyond ludicrous for a OTC Pinkyland slug that has no apparent business operations! At some point soon BAYP is going down hard!

[Chartmaster]

[Lowjack]

You have to be closer to the trading desk than the frontrunning brokerages!

[rawman]

back to $30+ my guess,holdin tite my shares $$$$ mhop

The SEC will REVOKE BAYP before its Market Cap blows past Boeing, 3M, and/or American Express again. This would happen at a BAYP price of around $15 per share.

[kingsransome]

back to $30+ my guess,holdin tite my shares $$$$ mhop

[Nebuchadnezzar]

too bad so sad. not in this just observing.

[DragonBear]

and yet its green up 36%-which proves

The Penny retail "investor" will:

1. Buy a stock that has no value. As in no cash, no assets. No revenues, or functioning business. Nunca. Nada. Nyet. Nothing.

and

2. Buy a stock where the SEC has fired a warning shot. Telling the Penny retail investor, that the company has made inaccurate statements about its business. As in evidence of fraud.

The only open question being: Is this suppose to be unusual in Microcrap scam land? LOL

Then there are the retail "traders", playing a form of Russian roulette. Guessing at how much longer will the insanity last, and when to exit.

[Nebuchadnezzar]

and yet its green up 36%

[rawman]

LOL! Were the cited trades done because Goldman and JP Morgan are adept financial managers or based on some sort of special insider information? Casting stones when not knowing the details seems a bit gratuitious. If insider trading happened, the regulators will figure it out! It appears several companies had the same information, so is it "insider information"! BTW, in this case, if insider trading were actually involved, it would likely come under the purview of the DOJ, not the SEC.

Gotta love it! The SEC whacks BAYP, based on a completely unjustified share price rise, which drove BAYP's Market Cap to exceed a completely ridiculous $300 BILLION, but it is being claimed the BS behind the obvious PUMP & DUMP should be ignored! A Market Cap in excess of $300 BILLION would make BAYP's valuation larger than 21 of 30 stocks on the Dow 30. At a price above $30 per share, BAYP showed a higher valuation than Boeing, 3M, and American Express, just to name 3!

Sorry, but this kind of crap is exactly why the SEC exists, i.e. to protect REAL investors! Thank you SEC!

[Lowjack]

But they will let the banks trade on insider information!

News, Filings, reports....any activity should qualify as news

Even if it states nothing news worthy? What does this mean:

Bayport International Holdings, Inc. is a holding company that focuses on real estate development and acquisitions.

How does a company claim to be focused on real estate development, and acquisitions without any capital? No collateral assets to obtain capital? No access to capital?

Now that in itself isn't going to attract SEC attention. Scams make meaningless claims all the time. Instead one has a Strickland playing a game of gaining control of worthless stock (via ther preferred), R/Sing the common stock 1:10000, and then arranging to sell stock for "debt". And what benefit does a Strickland derive from these gyrations? Is he going through all of this just to help "Top Knot" make money, out of the goodness of his heart? Where he gets nothing out of the deal? The SEC is investigating the connections.

Then while all of this happens in the background, suddenly one has actors in tweet ville pumping away about what? That's right real estate development.

why the SEC be so anal?

In another words they should allow scams to occur, without resistance? Anything goes?

SEC needs to be held accountable for the entrapment

What entrapment? The only entrapment occurred when retail "investors" believed the hype about a worthless scam stock. The SEC is not responsible for what retail "investors" (dreamers) choose to believe.

[rawman]

ONLY 700%??? This is peanuts down here in the OTC Pinkyland swamp!

Well, glad I got out of BAYP at 700% profits

The BAYP shares closed at $.3701 on February 18, 2021. As a consequence of social media hype and share price manipulation, the share price then ballooned over 9000% to a high of $33.89 in two weeks, i.e. on March 4, 2021. A meager 700% gain in this context might be considered an embarrassment, not something to crow about!

[rawman]

I cannot speak for the SEC, so here is an explanation of the SEC's view of the social media situation. Basically, the SEC's statement further supports my previous comment regarding widespread securities fraud and share price manipulation becoming the regular mission of a cadre of social media con artists. IMO, it is about time the SEC became pro-active in whacking the investment markets' ripoff specialists!

Washington D.C., Feb. 26, 2021 —

As part of its continuing effort to respond to potential attempts to exploit investors during the recent market volatility, the Securities and Exchange Commission today suspended trading in the securities of 15 companies because of questionable trading and social media activity.

Today's action follows the recent suspensions of the securities of numerous other issuers, many of which may also have been targets of apparent social media attempts to artificially inflate their stock price. The SEC continues to review market and trading data to identify other securities where the public interest and the protection of investors require trading suspensions.

"The SEC's recent suspensions of trading in nearly two dozen securities – including 15 today – are one facet of our ongoing efforts to police the market and protect investors," said Melissa Hodgman, Acting Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement. "We proactively monitor for suspicious trading activity tied to stock promotions on social media, and act quickly to stop that trading when appropriate to safeguard the public interest.

Then it's time to spend money on the finer things in life and leave the trading stress behind, you only need to get rich once they say! I plan to trade to 3 mill or lose down to 1.7 mill b4 quitting, the SEC memo bout companies have to start filings is a perfect buying op esp with so many new accounts now opened fueling every ticker in sight, no wonder tickers like Gamestop are going nuts, it's supply and demand and demand now 5x so easy pickings with stop sign tickers going current, where else you gonna get rich in less than 3 months?

[tdbowieknife]

OK... Right... Then??

Well, glad I got out of BAYP at 700% profits, and this year now up 2Mill$ trading stop sign tickers and plan to retire this year...it is a war and mine field out there though, but well worth the rewards as i am now a multimillionaire thanks to OTC Stop Sign tickers, Covid, and the 5x new stock traders opening new trading accounts, thanks everyone!

[Chartmaster]

What's the diff between social media posts pumping a stock, and the word of mouth stock tips back in the 80's...the only diff is now we all have computers so there are more peeps pumping, more peeps buying.
And since when is stock speculation any concern of the SEC? Peeps who bought Apple at $20 a share when it went public were considered highly speculative and risky investments.

[tdbowieknife]

Lol... One can file a complaint with the SEC.

By the way... OTC Markets unaudited "disclosure statements" don't qualify as "filings". An attorney letter means even less.

SEC needs to be held accountable for the entrapment imo

Disagree! The SOCIAL MEDIA PROMOTERS, which were clearly cited in the SEC's Suspension Order, but overlooked in your posts, should be slammed with Government civil actions and possibly criminal actions, based on SHARE PRICE MANIPULATION and committing SECURITIES FRAUD!

When the SEC's investigation of BAYP is finally completed, there is a good chance some of the insiders, including Paul Strickland, John Kellas, and possibly BAYP, will be facing legal action by the SEC and/or the DOJ! Kellas' Florida lawsuit against BAYP for non-payment of debt obligations is a total load of crap!

[Chartmaster]

News, Filings, reports....any activity should qualify as news and reason why peeps bought, why the SEC be so anal? I mean they say "No BAYP News" so we must suspend trading, but there are filings and even an Attorney letter Feb and March 2021...the filings are "the BAYP news", the very reason peeps bought. SEC needs to be held accountable for the entrapment imo

[Chartmaster]

Thanks, so when placing an order to sell say 5.55 million shares I just place the order for 5.55 mill shares and let it fill just like normal, I thought matched trades meant you have better luck placing several orders for say 1 mill each...so That matched trade thing seems deceiving, just place the order as usual and let it get filled with partial fills till fully filled is what I do now.

[tdbowieknife]

Then it will likely tank even further.

.

[tdbowieknife]

I didn't see any news in the year end disclosure statement.

.

[tdbowieknife]

Matched trades are trades made without a market maker. 1they are done by brokers by matching up buyer a seller by price and number of shares.
A buyer of 1000 shares @ 1 dollar is matched up with a seller of 1000 shares @ 1 dollar. They can combine or group and split among others but it all must end matched.

SEC F'ed Up here! Annual Report out on 2/24/21, then Attorney Letter out on 3/10/21
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/BAYP/disclosure

THEN SEC SUSPENDS IT ON 3/12/21 SAYING "Since late February 2021, BAYP's share price and trading volume have greatly increased in the absence of any publicly available news from the Company since January 2019, and certain social media posts appear to be attempting to influence BAYP's share price."
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/BAYP/news/SEC-Suspension-of-Trading?id=293497

WTF? The reason "share price and trading volume have greatly increased" was because of the 2/24/21 Annual Report, and the 3/10/21 Attorney letter filed with OTC.....but SEC says "BAYP's share price and trading volume have greatly increased in the absence of any publicly available news from the Company since January 2019"

Is the SEC Blind, stupid, or corrupt?The 2/24/21 and 3/10/21 filings got filed for all to see but SEC says "absence of any publicly available news from the Company since January 2019"

[Chartmaster]

What does "Matched Trades" actually mean? I am out of BAYP and made a 7x bagger here but have other suspended tickers that I placed sell orders and they are getting partial fills all day long so not sure what "Matched Trades" means, or how it is any diff than normal trading.

[rawman]

...holding tite they just may have good news to report

And the tooth fairy is alive and live in Antartica!

[kingsransome]

some firms allowed trading today,,ameritrade said net week,,holding tite they just may have good news to report,,G/L longs.

[tdbowieknife]

There as been quite a few of these social media suspensions lately. And its about time too...

A whopping 10 shares traded so far today.

[DragonBear]

These often get off to a-extremely quick

start coming off suspension. With everyone rushing to get out.

Then again...

Most R/Ses of 1:10000 guarantee a quick crash off the cliff.

Most suspended are under $1. Not having been successfully pumped.

And just about all weren't subject to a tweeter price manipulation, that resulted in it going up after the R/S. Where the SEC is first noticing bad actors, and tweet pumps, should be something they should notice. Try to find one with the SEC stating:

and unusual and unexplained trading activity affecting the market for its securities. Since late February 2021, BAYP’s share price and trading volume have greatly increased in the absence of any publicly available news from the Company since January 2019, and certain social media posts appear to be attempting to influence BAYP’s share price

I can't recall any suspension that mentioned "social media posts". As in non-company.

So will the organized tweet pump fall apart. Or run for cover? Will those who fell for it sit in a catatonic gaze? Ought to be interesting to watch. All 1.3M O/S shares in the float.

[tdbowieknife]

These often get off to a slow start coming iff suspension. It can trade today. Matched trades only.

[kingsransome]

i read that also,,maybe monday

[tdbowieknife]

BAYP can trade today at the open...

Good luck folks.

The reason they got suspended was because they didn't respond when they contacted them

That's not quite the way the SEC operates.

Step 1: The SEC initiates an "informal investigation". During this period the SEC often doesn't contact the company being investigated. For all the obvious reasons.

Step 2: If they find potential regulation violations, they suspend. How many times have you seen a stock get suspended, and the company management cry in anguish: "But, butt we didn't know we were being investigated". Correct! Because during Step 1, the SEC didn't contact or ask the company for any info.

Step 3: The current status for BAYP. If the team at the SEC investigating BAYP needs subpoena power to subpoena documents from BAYP, they will ask and justify the need for a "formal investigation". Giving them subpoena power.

If the company were a registered stock company, then it would have to report it as a material event with an 8K. But BAYP is a pinky. They can pretend "it's all a misunderstanding" easy to clear up. They are under no obligation to tell SHs they are under a formal investigation or not. In the good ole days the stock would fall into the ill-liquidity of the grey market. With the poor little innocent pinky telling its stockholders it was working on finding a MM to sponsor a 211. Now days it seems less an issue with the OTC Market Group helping provide liquidity.

Step 4: The SEC may or may not file litigation against the likes of a Strickland. With the goal of driving such players out of the market permanently. If driven out, the BAYP becomes a Zombie company. No head left to put out delightful PR pumps. Eventually going to no bid after years. If no litigation, then it continues as a grey sheet stock. Trading on even more speculation than before.

[WallWeeD]

this is done when the sec halts., it is because they do have prove it did something really bad. Gray market guys this SCAM IS HISTORY. Word of advice when it resumes trading wait until it bouces then sale and get out. take your loses and move on

[tdbowieknife]

The SEC is not waiting for anything from Bayport. The time for that was BEFORE the suspension.

It is best to know and understand the "rules"!

The latest FINRA verification, which was done on February 26, 2021, shows a grand total Short Interest for BAYP was a meager 10,719 shares.

Where the pesky SEC rule 203 allows up to 45 days for trade settlement or delivery of the shares. Most likely a MM who sold naked short to facilitate a trade, still waiting for the shares bought a few nanoseconds later to cover from a known Ask to be delivered. Until delivered the ownership remains Short. But does not imply there is an actual Short position. The 2 week suspension will help em settle. LOL

Ain't going to be much of a short squeeze with less than 11K shares out of 311 million outstanding shares, being shorted!

Actually just 11K out of 1.3M or 1%. With the other 300M restricted, until the ledger is removed by whatever means (court?). Still 1% or more likely closer to 0% isn't going to do anything. Naturally a post will go up a week after trading resumes, reporting the "daily" Short volume. Which is always meaningless, and hilarious.
