Florida Internet Stock Promoter Admits Securities Fraud;
Forfeits More Than $3.5 Million in Cash and Assets
United States Department of Justice
Newark, NJ
January 5, 2005
The former head of Stockgenie.com, an Internet stock promotion web site, pleaded guilty today to conspiring with at least five other individuals to engage in an elaborate scheme to defraud investors of more than $20 million, U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie announced.
Irving Freiberg, 48, of Boca Raton, Fla., and a former resident of New York, entered his plea in U.S. District Court in before Judge William G. Bassler. As part of his plea agreement, Freiberg has agreed to forfeit more than $3.5 million in cash and assets to reimburse defrauded investors.
At his plea hearing, Freiberg admitted that he knew that Marc Armand Rousso, Jean Pierre Collardeau, Charles Nisenbaum and others created Pro Net Link (PNLK) as a public company, and that they had agreed to issue millions of shares of PNLK stock in the names of co-conspirators in order to conceal their scheme from the investing public.
Freiberg admitted that he knew that they secretly controlled millions of dollars worth of PNLK stock that was issued in the names of foreign nominees Nicole Peignier, Martine Meillot, Eric Niger, and Muriel Prochasson. Freiberg also admitted that he learned that they had issued a large block of PNLK stock to a fictitious identity, Robert Sambou, that was created in furtherance of the scheme. Freiberg admitted that he knew that the issued shares were then deposited into nominee accounts in Canada, which the conspirators controlled.
Freiberg admitted that in March 1998, he and Irving Stitsky entered into an agreement with Marc Armand Rousso, Charles Nisenbaum, and Jean Pierre Collardeau to tout PNLK to the investing public, through Freiberg's stock promotion web site, Stockgenie.com, in order to spark interest and greater demand for the company's stock. Freiberg and Stitsky, were told by Collardeau, along with others, that Collardeau and his co-conspirators secretly controlled almost all the free-trading PNLK stock held in nominee names in brokerage accounts in Canada.
Freiberg admitted that in return for the stock promotion, he and Stitsky were to receive, from Collardeau and his co-conspirators, a significant percentage of the profits from the sale of PNLK stock through the nominee accounts. He also admitted that this arrangement was concealed from the investing public through the creation and execution of a sham contract, wherein Freiberg and Stitsky purportedly were to receive only $50,000. In truth, Freiberg admitted that he and Stitsky ultimately received $5.8 million for their efforts.
Freiberg admitted that the co-conspirators ultimately received and shared in excess of $20 million derived from the sale of PNLK stock.
Freiberg further admitted that after the stock promotion of PNLK in 1998 he continued his fraudulent stock promotion activities. Freiberg admitted that from 1998 until his arrest in 2003 he engaged in the fraudulent stock promotion of over 80 companies and reaped profits of over $25 million.
Freiberg admitted to promoting the various companies in a manner similar to the method employed in the PNLK stock scheme. He admitted that in each of the stock promotions he was involved in he touted the companies without regard for the truth and often entered into arrangements with company officers and affiliated persons.
Freiberg pleaded guilty to Count Two of the three-count Indictment which charges securities fraud. The conspiracy count carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gain received by the conspirators, a penalty that could be in excess of $40 million. Parole has been abolished in the federal system. Under Sentencing Guidelines, defendants who are given custodial terms must serve nearly all that time.
As part of the plea agreement, Freiberg agreed to forfeit to the United States: his home in Boca Raton, Florida; five vehicles, including a 2003 Mercedes Benz, a 2003 Aston Martin, a 2002 Bently Azure, and a 2004 Maserati; and several hundred thousand dollars in jewelry. The total estimated worth of the forfeited assets is in excess of $2 million, not including more than $1.5 million in cash. The forfeited properties and cash will be made available to defrauded investors.
Christie credited Special Agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge John Kelleghan in Philadelphia and Postal Inspectors of the United States Postal Inspection Service, under the direction of Postal Inspector in Charge Martin D. Phanco. Christie gave special acknowledgment to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, New York Regional Office; and the British Columbia Securities Commission; and the Federal Office of Justics, Swiss Central Authority; and the Office of International Affairs, Department of Justice.
The Government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Mauro Wolfe, of the U.S. Attorney's Criminal Division in Newark.

TAKES TIME FOR THE SEC TO MAKE THEIR MOVE
The cc of your email has reached the website of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. SIPC was created by an act of United States Congress to provide protection to customers of member stockbrokers who encounter financial difficulties and are unable to meet their obligations to their customers. SIPC has no regulatory authority and does not become involved in complaints between stockbrokers and their customers. The only time SIPC becomes involved with a broker-dealer is when that entity encounters financial difficulties and is unable to meet its obligations to its customers. Empire Financial Group Inc. is a member of SIPC. The examining authority for that firm is the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, www.finra.com . Any problems you are having should be brought to the attention of FINRA.

Stock Broker Fraud Claims
Free Claim Evaluation
Click Here
Stock brokers, investment advisers and financial planners are required to deal with their clients with the utmost integrity. They are not permitted to place their own interests ahead of their clients. This duty is called a fiduciary duty because they are in a position of trust. If the stock broker or investment adviser breaches that fiduciary duty and causes you injury, you may have a stock fraud claim and may be able to recover damages for any losses caused by the stock broker misconduct. In addition to a stock fraud claim against the individual broker, in many situations you may have the right to recover from the stockbroker’s firm if the firm was involved in the misconduct or failed to supervise the broker.
The federal securities laws and most state securities laws make it illegal to make any material misstatement of fact as well as the failure to disclose a material fact or set of facts in connection with the purchase or sale of securities. Since securities are defined very broadly, these laws may apply to many different financial instruments.
In addition to misstatements and omissions in connection with the purchase or sale of a security, there are a number of other types of securities fraud claims including the following:
Unsuitability
Churning and Unauthorized Trading
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Failure to Execute
Failure to Supervise
If you or a loved one has been harmed by stock broker or stock fraud, please call or email our experienced stock fraud lawyers today. We'll evaluate your stock fraud claim for free and help you get the justice you deserve.

Fraud and Misconduct by Stock Brokers and Financial Planners

Churning - The Excessive Trading of Stock
Unsuitable Investments
Excessive Concentration
Misrepresentations
Failure to Follow Instructions
Misappropriation
When you use a stock broker or financial planner to help manage your investments, you place a great deal of trust in that individual. In working with your financial planner, you should be aware of common acts of fraud and misconduct which may occur with your investment account:
Churning - The Excessive Trading of Stock
As a stock broker profits by making commissions on each purchase or sale of stock, a stock broker may engage in "churning" in order to obtain higher commissions from your account. While it is not always apparent from a review of trading records if a stock broker has engaged in excessive trading or has reaped excessive commissions, it is possible to determine whether the growth in the account was sufficient to cover trading expenses, and whether purchases and sales of stock are made to the advantage of the investor - particularly where the amount of trading is excessive as compared to the amount of money invested. With enough questionable trading activity, it may be possible to establish that "churning" has occurred. You can protect yourself from "churning" by limiting the stock broker's authority to engage in discretionary trading.
Unsuitable Investments
A stock broker recommends that an investor purchase securities which the broker knows or should understand are not suited to the client's needs or investment goals. For example, the stock broker may recommend high risk stocks to an older client whose actual needs are for stability and a consistent income. Sometimes a stock broker will encourage clients to purchase a particular stock which is being pushed by the brokerage firm, and may mislead the client about the quality of the investment.
Excessive Concentration
Investors typically benefit from having a diversified portfolio, in which losses in one sector are offset by profits in another. If a financial planner or brokerage over-concentrates investment in a particular stock or sector of the market, an investor will typically face an excessive risk of loss.
Misrepresentations
A broker misrepresents a material fact about an investment or trade, or fails to inform the investor of a material fact, resulting in the client's making an investment decision from which the investor would otherwise have abstained. By way of example, in conduct known as "touting", a brokerage firm might encourage a client to invest in "house stocks", essentially low-value stocks which are part of an investment scheme to achieve the artificial inflation of their value, knowing full well that no fully informed investor would make the recommended investment. Similarly, a stock broker may claim to have inside information about a "hot stock" - if true, the broker is likely engaging in illegal insider trading, and if not the broker is lying.
Failure to Follow Instructions
The broker is instructed by the investor to engage in or abstain from a particular trade or activity, and either does not follow the instruction or ignores the instruction. For example, a stock broker may engage in trades in an account over which he has no discretion to make trades, or a stock broker doesn't follow an investor's instruction to sell a stock that the firm is touting.
Misappropriation
The stock broker or financial planner steals money from the client's account, perhaps fabricating losses to cover the loss, or providing fake records to hide the deductions.

READ CAREFULLY
Prohibited Conduct
You should be aware that certain types of conduct in the securities industry are prohibited, including the following:
Recommending to a customer the purchase or sale of a security that is unsuitable given the customer's age, financial situation, investment objective, and investment experience. Investment in a particular type of security may be unsuitable or the amount or frequency of transactions may be excessive and therefore unsuitable for a given customer.
Purchasing or selling securities in a customer's account without first contacting the customer and the customer did not specifically authorize the sale or purchase, unless the broker has received from the customer written discretionary authority to effect transactions in the account or the broker was given discretion as to price and time.
Switching a customer from one mutual fund to another when there is no legitimate investment purpose underlying the switch.
Misrepresenting or failing to disclose material facts concerning an investment. Examples of information that may be considered material and that should be accurately presented to customers include: the risks of investing in a particular security; the charges or fees involved; company financial information; and technical or analytical information, such as bond ratings.
Removing funds or securities from a customer's account without the customer's prior authorization.
Charging a customer excessive markups, markdowns, or commissions on the purchase or sale of securities.
Guaranteeing customers that they will not lose money on a particular securities transaction, making specific price predictions, or agreeing to share in any losses in the customer's account.
Private securities transactions between a broker and a customer that may violate NASD rules, particularly where such transactions are done without the knowledge and permission of the sales representative's firm.
Trading for a firm's account in preference to a customer by trading ahead of a customer limit order, absent a valid exception.
Failure by a market maker to display a customer limit order in its published quotes, absent a valid exception.
Failing to use reasonable diligence to see that a customer's order is executed at the best possible price, given prevailing market conditions.
Purchasing or selling a security while in possession of material, non-public information regarding an issuer.
Using any manipulative, deceptive, or other fraudulent device or contrivance to effect any transaction in, or induce the purchase or sale of, any security.

What to Do If a Broker Calls to Pitch an IPO
Selling shares of stock to the public through an initial public offering (IPO) is a tried and true way for a company to raise money by expanding its ownership base. Purchasing any securities product, including an IPO, carries risk. Before you invest, FINRA Investor Education encourages you to:
Be alert to warning signs that might signal a fraudulent sales pitch such as:
Guarantees of big profits with little or no risk
Claims that IPOs are always good investments
Promises that your broker is not receiving any compensation
Suggestions that you are getting inside (non-public) information
Pressure tactics to invest immediately
Request - and read - a preliminary prospectus. Also known as a "red herring," this document must be filed with the SEC. Pay particular attention to the risk factors section. Be wary if a broker tells you that you don’t need a copy of the prospectus to make a decision, or to ignore the prospectus or certain information in it.
Ask and get answers to any and all questions you might have about the investment, specifically:
Has the SEC declared the offering "effective," meaning that the company can complete its securities sales?
Always remember: this only means that the company has disclosed certain facts. This is not a seal of approval from the SEC.
Do you view the IPO as a short- or long-term investment?
Exactly what does the company do?
What is its operating history (profits, revenues, or history of losses) as a private entity?
What are the major risks facing the company?
Hang up if you feel you are not getting straight answers to your questions or are being pressured to act immediately or encouraged to invest an amount that is beyond your means.
If you decide to invest, read the final prospectus, paying particular attention to the changes made from the preliminary prospectus.
If you do decide to invest in an IPO, or are considering it, you should know:
You should not send your money to your broker (or the broker’s clearing agent) prior to the effective date, since the securities can’t be sold prior to that date.
Unless specifically stated in the prospectus, there is no minimum number or shares you must buy.
You do not have to agree to buy shares in the company after it begins trading publicly in order to buy shares of the IPO.
You have the right to request that your name be placed on a "do not call" list to avoid future phone calls.
Before conducting business with a brokerage firm or broker, take the time to check their professional background by using FINRA's online investor tool, FINRA BrokerCheck.
Don’t forget: if an investment sounds too good to be true - it probably is.
