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.

[edit] History
The NASD was founded in response to the 1938 Maloney Act amendments to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In 1971, NASD launched a new computerized stock trading system called the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) stock market. The NASDAQ and AMEX stock exchanges merged in 1998. Two years later, the NASDAQ underwent a major recapitalization and became an independent entity from NASD. In July 2007, the SEC approved the formation of a new SRO to be a successor to NASD. The NASD and the member regulation, enforcement and arbitration functions of the New York Stock Exchange were then consolidated into the newly created Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).See SEC Release No. 34-56145
[edit] Structure
The NASD Board of Governors consists of two staff members (the CEO and the President of one of NASD's divisions), seven individuals representing the industry, seven more individuals representing the industry, and two individuals categorized as "non-public" but also representing the industry. [1]
[edit] Functions: Regulation and licensure
NASD regulates trading in equities, corporate bonds, securities futures, and options, with authority over the activities of more than 5,025 brokerage firms, approximately 169,470 branch offices, and more than 658,170 registered securities representatives. All firms dealing in securities that are not regulated by another SRO, such as by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board ("MSRB"), are required to be member firms of the NASD.
NASD licenses individuals and admits firms to the industry, writes rules to govern their behavior, examines them for regulatory compliance, and is sanctioned by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to discipline registered representatives and member firms that fail to comply with federal securities laws and NASD's rules and regulations. It provides education and qualification examinations to industry professionals. It also sells outsourced regulatory products and services to a number of stock markets and exchanges (e.g. American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") and the International Securities Exchange ("ISE").
NASD founded the NASDAQ ("National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations") stock market in 1971. In 2006, NASD demutualized from NASDAQ by selling its ownership interest.
[edit] Size
NASD has a staff of nearly 2,000 and an annual budget of more than $500 million. [2] The NASD is funded primarily by assessments of member firms' registered representatives and applicants, annual fees paid by members, and by fines that it levies. The annual fee that each member pays includes a basic membership fee, an assessment based on gross income, a fee for each principal and registered representative, and charge for each branch office.
[edit] Criticism
In recent years, the securities market has become increasingly "retail"; with a majority of Americans owning stock through their employers and personal investing. Being an industry organization, the NASD has been accused of turning a blind eye to broker/dealers' biggest abuses. Some feel that while larger problems have gone unaddressed, the NASD has pursued minor rule violations. As a result of this, various groups feel that investors continue to lose money through various broker/dealer scams which should have been previously addressed. [citation needed]
[edit] FINRA moving away from large fines
After several years of punitive enforcement actions, FINRA has reduced the number of fines in excess of $1 million. According to a study by Deborah G. Heilizer and Brian L. Rubin, both partners in Washington with Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP, regulators with NASD – now FINRA – and NYSE Regulation obtained fines of over $1 million in 35 actions taken in 2005. But in 2006, that number dropped to 19. And the number of enforcement actions over $5 million also fell. In 2005, there were seven such actions as opposed to three in 2006. According to the written report, the “data suggest that securities regulators may have retrenched their efforts to regulate through the use of novel theories.”[3]
[edit] Arbitration
The NASD operates the nation's largest arbitration forum for the resolution of disputes between customers and member firms, as well as between brokerage firm employees and their firms. Virtually all agreements between investors and their stockbrokers include mandatory arbitration agreements, whereby investors (and the brokerage firms) waive their right to trial in a court of law. The fairness of such mandatory arbitration clauses has been called into question; however, U.S. courts have consistently found them to be lawful.
As of June 2005, the pool of arbitrators consisted of 2,700 individuals classified by the NASD as industry panelists and 3,700 individuals classified as non-industry panelists.
In 1987, in Shearson/American Express v. McMahon, the United States Supreme Court ruled that account forms signed by customers requiring arbitration for disputes were enforceable contracts. Brokerage firms now require all customers to sign such documents, requiring binding arbitration.
For disputes between customers and member firms, the panel that decides the case consists of three arbitrators, one industry panelist and two non-industry panelists. For disputes between an employee and member firms, all three arbitrators are industry panelists. For a given case, the two sides are provided separate lists by NASD of local, available arbitrators, from which they chose. If one side rejects all listed arbitrators, NASD names the arbitrators who will serve; these can be rejected only for biases, misclassification, conflicts, or undisclosed material information, and biases or conflicts must be identified prior to the beginning of hearings. For an overview of the Securities Arbitration process, see Introduction to Securities Arbitration.
According to NASD, there were 6,074 cases for arbitration filed in 2005, a decrease from the peak of 8,945 cases filed in 2003. The average time to complete a case has risen from 10.5 months in 1995 to 14.3 months in 2005, a decrease from 2004 when it was 15.4 months. The percentage of cases where customers are awarded damages has fallen from slightly above 50% in the 2000-2002 period to slightly above 40% in 2005. The NASD rates any positive award to a customer as a win for the customer regardless of the magnitude of losses or legal fees.[4]
NASD rules do not require parties to be represented by attorneys. A party may appear pro se, or be represented by a non-attorney in arbitration. However, representation by a non-attorney is not advised since this may be the unauthorized practice of law. [5] Brokerage firms routinely hire attorneys, so a customer who does not can be at a serious disadvantage. One organization whose members specialize in representing customers against brokerage firms in NASD and NYSE arbitration is the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association ("PIABA").
In June 2006, Lewis D. Lowenfels, one of two partners at the New York law firm of Tolins & Lowenfels, and co-author of the looseleaf treatise Bromberg and Lowenfels on Securities Fraud and Commodities Fraud, 2d said of the NASD arbitration process: "What started out as a relatively swift and economical process for a public customer claimant to seek justice has evolved into a costly extended adversarial proceeding dominated by trial lawyers and the usual litigation tactics."

Bounty Program at the SEC
The SEC is authorized to pay a bounty to a person who provides information that leads to the recovery of a civil penalty from those who violate the insider trading laws. With some exceptions, the SEC is permitted to award a bounty from the civil penalties actually recovered from violators. The total amount of the bounty may not exceed ten percent of the penalty.
The SEC has sole discretion whether to pay a bounty, the amount of the payment, and to whom the payment would be made. The SEC is not authorized to pay bounties for information about other violations of the securities laws.
For more information, read about the bounty program.

Insider Trading: Information on Bounties
Section 21A(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") [15 U.S.C. 78u-l(e)] authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") to award a bounty to a person who provides information leading to the recovery of a civil penalty from an insider trader, from a person who "tipped" information to an insider trader, or from a person who directly or indirectly controlled an insider trader. This pamphlet is designed to provide interested persons with information on bounties and the Commission's rules for making a bounty application. Section 21A(e) of the Exchange Act and the Commission's bounty rules are set out at the end of this pamphlet.
What is "Insider Trading?"
"Insider trading" refers generally to buying or selling a security, in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, while in possession of material, nonpublic information about the security. Insider trading violations may also include "tipping" such information, securities trading by the person "tipped" and securities trading by those who misappropriate such information. Examples of insider trading cases that have been brought by the Commission are cases against: corporate officers, directors, and employees who traded the corporation's securities after learning of significant, confidential corporate developments; friends, business associates, family members, and other "tippees" of such officers, directors, and employees, who traded the securities after receiving such information; employees of law, banking, brokerage and printing firms who were given such information in order to provide services to the corporation whose securities they traded; government employees who learned of such information because of their employment by the government; and other persons who misappropriated, and took advantage of, confidential information from their employers.
Because insider trading undermines investor confidence in the fairness and integrity of the securities markets, the Commission has treated the detection and prosecution of insider trading violations as one of its enforcement priorities.
How Much May be Paid as a Bounty?
Insider trading may result in enforcement action by the Commission or in criminal prosecution by the Department of Justice. The Exchange Act permits the Commission to bring suit against insider traders to seek injunctions, which are court orders that prohibit violations of the law under threat of fines and imprisonment. The Commission may also seek other relief against insider traders, including recovery of any illegal gains (or losses avoided) and payment of a civil penalty. The amount of a civil penalty can be up to three times the profit gained (or loss avoided) as a result of insider trading.
The Commission is permitted to make bounty awards from the civil penalties that are actually recovered from violators. With minor exceptions, any person who provides information leading to the imposition of a civil penalty may be paid a bounty. However the total amount of bounties that may be paid from a civil penalty may not exceed ten percent of that penalty.
How Will the Commission Make Bounty Determinations?
All Commission determinations regarding bounties including whether to make a payment, to whom a payment shall be made, and the amount of a payment (if any), are in the sole discretion of the Commission. Any such determination is final and not subject to judicial review. Nothing in the Commission's rules or in this pamphlet is intended to limit the Commission's discretion with respect to bounties.
In making determinations regarding bounty applications the Commission will be guided by the purposes of the bounty provisions. These purposes include the intent of the United States Congress to encourage persons with information about possible insider trading to come forward. The Commission will also consider other factors that it deems relevant. Examples of other factors that may be relevant are: the importance of the information provided by an applicant; whether the information was provided voluntarily; the existence of other applications in the matter; and the amount of the penalty from which bounties may be paid.
Normally, the Commission will not make any determination on a bounty application until a payment of a penalty is both ordered by a court and recovered. A person who files an application meeting the requirements of the Commission's rules will be notified of the Commission's determination on the application.
How and When Do You Apply for a Bounty?
An application must be clearly marked as an "Application for Award of a Bounty," and must contain the information required by the Commission's rules. The application must give a detailed statement of the information that the applicant has about the suspected insider trading.
Any person who desires to provide information to the Commission that may result in the payment of a bounty may do so by any means desired. The Commission encourages persons having information regarding insider trading to provide that information in writing, either at the time they initially provide the information to the Commission or as soon as possible afterwards. Providing information in writing reduces the possibility of error, helps assure that appropriate action will be taken, and minimizes subsequent burdens and the possibility of factual disputes. In any event, a written application for a bounty must be filed within 180 days after the day on which the court orders payment of the civil penalty.
Can You Apply for a Bounty Anonymously?
The Commission recognizes that there may be instances when a bounty applicant wishes to remain temporarily anonymous. The bounty rules take these instances into account. While the Commission will only award bounties to applicants who provide their identity and mailing address, that information may be added by a later amendment to the application. The amendment must be filed within 180 days after the entry of the court order requiring the payment of the penalty upon which the bounty is based. An anonymous applicant who fails to file such an amendment (and anyone who fails to make a written application) runs the risk of losing eligibility for a bounty through lapse of time and ignorance of the fact that a penalty has been recovered.
Absent compelling cause, the Commission ordinarily does not disclose the identity of a confidential source. In some instances however disclosure of that identity will be legally required, or will be essential for the protection of the public interest. For example, a court may order disclosure during litigation, or the Commission may need to present the testimony of a bounty claimant to ensure the success of an enforcement action. Consequently while the Commission and its staff will give serious consideration to requests to maintain the confidentiality of a source's identity, no guarantees of confidentiality are possible.
Statutory and Regulatory Provisions
Section 21A(e) of the Exchange Act
[T]here shall be paid from amounts imposed as a penalty under this section and recovered by the Commission or the Attorney General, such sums, not to exceed 10 percent of such amounts, as the Commission deems appropriate to the person or persons who provide information leading to the imposition of such penalty. Any determinations under this subsection, including whether, to whom, or in what amount to make payment, shall be in the sole discretion of the Commission, except that no such payment shall be made to any member, officer, or employee of any appropriate regulatory agency, the Department of Justice, or a self-regulatory organization. Any such determination shall be final and not subject to judicial review.

Section 21A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 authorizes the courts to impose civil penalties for certain violations of that Act. Subsection 21A(e) permits the Commission to award bounties to persons who provide information that leads to the imposition of such penalties. Any such determination, including whether, to whom, or in what amount to make payments, is in the sole discretion of the Commission. This subpart sets forth procedures regarding applications for the award of bounties pursuant to subsection 21A(e). Nothing in this subpart shall be deemed to limit the discretion of the Commission with respect to determinations under subsection 21A(e) or to subject any such determination to judicial review.
Rule 62 Application required.
No person shall be eligible for the payment of a bounty under subsection 21A(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 unless such person has filed a written application that meets the requirements of this subpart and, upon request, provides such other information as the Commission or its staff deems relevant to the application.
Rule 63 Time and place of filing.
Each application pursuant to this subpart and each amendment thereto must be filed within one hundred eighty days after the entry of the court order requiring the payment of the penalty that is subject to the application.

Rule 64 Form of application and information required.
Each application pursuant to this subpart shall be identified as an Application for Award of a Bounty and shall contain a detailed statement of the information provided by the applicant that the applicant believes led or may lead to the imposition of a penalty. Except as provided by Rule 65 of this subpart, each application shall state the identity and mailing address of, and be signed by, the applicant. When the application is not the means by which the applicant initially provides such information, each application shall contain: the dates and times upon which, and the means by which, the information was provided; the identity of the Commission staff members to whom the information was provided; and, if the information was provided anonymously, sufficient further information to confirm that the person filing the application is the same person who provided the information to the Commission.

Any such amendment must be filed within one hundred eighty days after the entry of the court order requiring the payment of the penalty that is subject to the application.
Rule 66 Notice to applicants.
The Commission will notify each person who files an application that meets the requirements of this subpart, at the address specified in such application, of the Commission's determination with respect to such person's application. Nothing in this subpart shall be deemed to entitle any person to any other notice from the Commission or its staff.
Rule 67 Applications by legal guardians.
An application pursuant to this subpart may be filed by an executor, administrator, or other legal representative of a person who provides information that may be subject to a bounty payment or by the parent or guardian of such a person if that person is a minor.

SEC Charges Two Texas Swindlers In Penny Stock Spam Scam Involving Computer Botnets
09/07/07
The Securities and Exchange Commission has filed securities fraud charges against two Texas individuals in a high-tech scam that hijacked personal computers nationwide to disseminate millions of spam emails and cheat investors out of more than $4.6 million. The scheme involved the use of so-called computer "botnets" or "proxy bot networks," which are networks comprised of personal computers that, unbeknownst to their owners, are infected with malicious viruses that forward spam or viruses to other computers on the Internet. The scheme began to unravel, however, when a Commission enforcement attorney received one of the spam emails at work.
The Commission alleges that Darrel Uselton and his uncle, Jack Uselton, both recidivist securities law violators, illegally profited during a 20-month "scalping" scam by obtaining shares from at least 13 penny stock companies and selling those shares into an artificially active market they created through manipulative trading, spam email campaigns, direct mailers, and Internet-based promotional activities. Scalping refers to recommending that others purchase a security while secretly selling the same security in the market.
In related enforcement actions, the Attorney General's Office for Texas and the Harris County District Attorney's Office indicted the Useltons for engaging in organized criminal activity and money laundering. The Texas criminal authorities also have seized more than $4.2 million from bank accounts associated with the Useltons.
"This latest step in the Commission's anti-spam initiative is intended to protect investors from fraud artists who would treat the investing public as their personal ATM machines," said SEC Chairman Christopher Cox. "The use of bots to spread investment spam at exponentially higher rates is making this type of fraud an even more virulent threat to ordinary investors. Not only are victims getting hit with get-rich-quick spam, but by turning the victims' computers into zombies, these fraudsters are sending out still more spam to others. Given estimates that up to one-quarter of all personal computers connected to the Internet are part of a botnet, and the thriving market in selling lists of compromised computers to hackers and spammers, the SEC is taking this very seriously. We remain aggressively committed to tracking down anyone attempting to use bots to prey on investors with false or misleading spam about securities."
Linda Chatman Thomsen, SEC Director of Enforcement, said, "The scheme executed by the Useltons reflects a widespread contempt for investors and the marketplace. We will track down the swindlers engaged in these fraudulent schemes and hold them accountable."
The Commission's complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Houston, alleges that the Useltons orchestrated a series of spam email campaigns using an array of computer botnets to anonymously flood the inboxes of American investors with millions of spam emails touting near-worthless penny stocks with baseless price projections and other unfounded claims. Each campaign, which featured a single company, lasted anywhere from several days to several weeks.
The Commission alleges that between May 2005 and December 2006, the Useltons obtained more than $4.6 million through their fraudulent scheme. According to the complaint, the Useltons and the companies they controlled typically received unrestricted shares from penny stock companies for little or no money, in return for purported financing or promotional activities.
The Commission's complaint alleges that the Useltons violated the antifraud provisions of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Commission seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement with prejudgment interest, and civil penalties against each of the individual defendants, as well as penny stock bars against the Useltons.
Darrel Uselton was disciplined by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) in 2004 and 2005. Jack Uselton was permanently enjoined by the Commission from violating the anti-fraud provision in a 2002 settled action.
The company stocks that were the subject of the Useltons’ spam campaign, according to the SEC’s complaint, included Oretech, Inc.; Intelligent Sports, Inc.; Advanced Powerline Technologies; Notch Novelty Corporation; Avondale Resources Corporation; Spooz, Inc.; ESPRE Solutions, Inc.; Grifco International, Inc.; Leatt Corporation; Adrenaline Nation Entertainment, Inc.; Equipment and Systems Engineering, Inc.; Gulf Petroleum Exchange, Inc. (currently Software Effective Solutions Corp.); and Wentworth Energy, Inc.
The SEC in March 2007 suspended trading in the securities of three of the companies (Advanced Powerline Technologies, Leatt Corporation, and Software Effective Solutions Corp.) as part of its anti-spam initiative. The SEC revoked the registration of the securities of Oretech, Inc. in December 2005.
The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the Attorney General's offices for New York and Texas, The Harris County (Houston, Texas) District Attorney's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Texas State Securities Board, the State of Oklahoma Department of Securities, the National Association of Securities Dealers and the National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance.
The Commission's investigation is continuing.

Spam suspects charged over $4.6m share con
Pump-and-dump
By John Leyden → More by this authorPublished Tuesday 10th July 2007 13:28 GMTTwo Texans have been charged with securities fraud and money laundering offences over a pump-and-dump email stock scam.
The case follows an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into the illegal use of pump-and-dump junk mails to promote the sale of at least 13 low-value stocks between May 2005 and December 2006.
Darrel Uselton, 40, and his uncle, Jack Usleton, 69, allegedly used a series of spam emails campaigns to trick the gullible into buying worthless stocks on the basis of bogus insider information. The dynamic duo are suspected of using a network of compromised zombie PCs to distribute junk mail stock tips.
Investigators reckon gullible users were defrauded out of $4.6m in furtherance of the scam before the dodgy duo were caught. The pair allegedly made the mistake of sending one of their fraudulent emails to a SEC lawyer, prompting the launch of an investigation that ultimately led to charges against the two. Texas criminal authorities have seized more than $4.2m from bank accounts associated with the Useltons.
The prosecution of the Useltons is part of a larger SEC crackdown on stock scams. The SEC suspended trading of 35 companies which had been the subject of pump-and-dump emails in March. ®

.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
WASHINGTON, D.C.
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
RELEASE NO. 51305 / March 3, 2005
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced the temporary suspension, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), of over-the-counter trading of the securities of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (Pink Sheets symbol "CMKX"), also known as Casavant Mining Kimberlite International, Inc., of Las Vegas, Nevada. The suspension will commence at 9:30 a.m. EST, March 3, 2005, through 11:59 p.m. EST, on March 16, 2005.
The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of CMKM Diamonds because of questions that have been raised about the adequacy of publicly available information concerning, among other things, CMKM Diamonds' assets and liabilities, mining and other business activities, share structure and stock issuances, and corporate management. Since the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002, CMKM Diamonds has been delinquent in its periodic filing obligations under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. The Commission is concerned that CMKM Diamonds may have unjustifiably relied on a Form S-8 to issue unrestricted securities. The Commission is also concerned that CMKM Diamonds and/or certain of its shareholders may have unjustifiably relied on Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") in conducting an unlawful distribution of its securities that failed to comply with the resale restrictions of Rules 144 and 145 of the Securities Act.
The Commission cautions brokers, dealers, shareholders, and prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the foregoing information along with all other currently available information and any information subsequently issued by CMKM Diamonds.
Further, brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that, pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, at the termination of the trading suspension, no quotation may be entered unless and until they have strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule. If any broker or dealer has any questions as to whether or not he has complied with the rule, he should not enter any quotation but immediately contact the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by Rule 15c2-11, he should refrain from entering quotations relating to the securities of CMKM Diamonds until such time as he has familiarized himself with the rule and is certain that all of its provisions have been met. If any broker or dealer enters any quotation for the stock of CMKM Diamonds that is in violation of the rule, the Commission will consider the need for prompt enforcement action. For questions related to the operation of Rule 15c2-11, please contact the Division of Market Regulation at (202) 942-0069.
If any broker, dealer or other person has any information that may relate to this matter, please contact the CMKM Diamonds Investor Line of the Pacific Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission at (323) 965-4519 or by email at cmkmdiamonds@sec.gov.

Synesi, Inc. Announces New President & CEO Anthony Marotta of Carefree Elite
Synesi, Inc. (Pink Sheets:SYNS) announced today that Anthony Marotta has been appointed President and CEO of the Company.
Anthony began his career as a national sales manager with Rae Mar Cable, an industrial products supplier. Possessing broad product knowledge and a keen understanding of marketing, Anthony excelled as an astute and resourceful negotiator. Building on his experience, Anthony opened his first entrepreneurial venture and his rapid success resulted in the prompt sale of the profitable retail operation.
Anthony joined U.S. Coachworks and in a mere 5 years, managed to lead the start-up that manufactures custom limos from zero to $30 million in sales. His expertise guided the development of a national reseller network that significantly increased corporate profits. In 1995, Anthony and his brother Gary joined forces to introduce Carefree Limo in Great Neck, NY.
The venture provided luxury vehicle rental to celebrities and top corporate executives. Simultaneously, the pair operated Worldwide Motorsports Leasing, an exotic auto leasing firm. In 1999, the brothers sold the profitable operation for a multi-million dollar profit.
In 2000, Gary and Anthony brought the concept to South Florida, opening Carefree Elite® in Miami Beach and expanding their product offering to include strategic alliances with leasing agents throughout the U.S.

another 11 emails to the SEC and this is all we get so far.
PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE*
Dear Sir or Madam:
Thank you for your recent e-mail to the group electronic mailbox of the Division of Enforcement at the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. We appreciate your taking the time to write to us. This automated response confirms that the Division of Enforcement has received your e-mail. You can rest assured that an attorney in the Office of Internet Enforcement will review your e-mail promptly.
We are always interested in hearing from members of the public, and you may be assured that the matter you have raised is being given careful consideration in view of the Commission's overall enforcement responsibilities under the federal securities laws. It is, however, the Commission's policy to conduct its inquiries on a non-public basis -- so this may be the only response that you receive. If your complaint is more in the nature of a consumer complaint (such as a dispute with your broker or a problem with your brokerage or retirement account), you should contact our Office of Investor Education and Assistance -- they may be able to help you. You may reach the Office of Investor Education and Assistance via telephone at (202) 551-6551or through the Web at HYPERLINK "http://www.sec.gov/complaint.shtml"www.sec.gov/complaint.shtml.
The Commission conducts its investigations on a non-public basis to preserve the integrity of its investigative process as well as to protect persons against whom unfounded charges may be made or against whom the Commission determines that enforcement action is not necessary or appropriate. Subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, we cannot disclose to you any information which we may gather and we cannot confirm to you the existence or non-existence of an investigation, unless made a matter of public record in proceedings brought before the Commission or in the courts.
If you are unsure where you should direct your inquiry or you want to learn more about how the SEC handles inquiries and complaints, please visit the SEC Complaint Center at HYPERLINK "http://www.sec.gov/complaint.shtml"www.sec.gov/complaint.shtml.
Should you have any additional information or questions pertaining to this matter, please feel free to communicate directly with us at HYPERLINK "mailto:enforcement@sec.gov"enforcement@sec.gov.
We appreciate your interest in the work of the Commission and its Division of Enforcement.
Very truly yours,
S/
John Reed Stark
Chief, Office of Internet Enforcement
United States Securities & Exchange Commission

Ve-ry suspicious, writing’s on the wall,
Ve-ry suspicious, that it’s about to fall,
Thirteen months since running, cannot trace the cash
Almost a trillion printed, hope is in the past.
When you plead the fifth, when you’re put on the stand,
You’re gonna suffer,
Revocation’s on the way
Ve-ry suspicious, what happened to “The Plan”?,
Bad luck was the problem, they’re doing all they can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin’ strong,
Frizzy’s gonna save us, someone pass the bong.
When you plead the fifth, when you’re put on the stand,
You’re gonna suffer,
Revocation any day, yeh, yeh.
Ve-ry suspicious, what more can I say,
Ve-ry suspicious, the SEC’s been paid,
Thirteen months since running, cannot trace the cash
Almost a trillion printed, hope is in the past.
When you plead the fifth, when you’re put on the stand,
You’re gonna suffer,
Revocation’s on the way, ya, ya, ya
