Looks like Angelique won't go to prison for what she did, as far as the charges in this case are concerned:
Doc 206 - Final Judgement - Angelique D'maison
It would appear that the cosmic genius is still not in prison. The document linked below show that the judge doesn't like being lied to:
https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.432709/gov.uscourts.nysd.432709.295.0.pdf
I'll have to look up the answer to that question.
However the lovely and gracious Ms. D'Maison will have to live her entire life knowing that proof exist that she is an airhead deluxe:
Anelique's moment in the sun starts at about 2:40
Did Zirks wife ever get time? I suspect she was also a big-time scammer...
So, if someone wanted to buy some shares in CasaBlanca Mining, what would they be buying shares of?
1. An SEC reporting company that is 5 years delinquent in required SEC filings.
2. A revoked Nevada corp:

Let's see, this gem is supposed to be an SEC filer, but no required filings since 8/2013, and that was an NT 10-Q.
The auditor listed on the OTCMarkets page is a prohibited provider.

I'm starting to wonder if Ronk has friends at the SEC.
Release date of 2025? Wow!
Now he is locked up at Brooklyn, NY.

Wow. Too bad his buddy Eade didn't get the same...
Over 12 years in prison for Zirk.

Second alert on CUAU being severely delinquent in filing Financials and is at extreme risk of an SEC Suspension and subsequent stock registration revocation. The last 10Q was in 2013.

CUAU is on the list of delinquent filers:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=123772332
1454 SEC Filers have been Suspended by the SEC for Financials delinquencies. The SEC Administrative Law Judge subsequently revoked the Registrations of each delinquent SEC Filer.

I'm not aware of any updates, but that certainly doesn't mean there aren't any further SEC actions.
Any updates on Casablanca?
SEC expands fraud case to include Lenco Mobile, subject of a prior Sharesleuth investigation
Posted on November 22, 2015 by Chris Carey
The Securities and Exchange Commission has quietly expanded its fraud case against financier Izak Zirk De Maison, adding seven more people as codefendants and identifying five more stocks he used in his schemes.
According to the SEC’s amended complaint, one of the companies that De Maison used as a fraud vehicle was Lenco Mobile Inc. (formerly Pink Sheets: LNCM), which was the subject of a Sharesleuth investigation in early 2010.
Lenco Mobile gained a stock market listing through a reverse merger with a shell company controlled by De Maison, known at the time as Zirk Engelbrecht. Our investigation focused on the issuance of millions of Lenco Mobile shares to questionable individuals, including recidivist securities offender Michael W. Crow.
The SEC said in its amended complaint that De Maison and his alter egos sold at least $6.2 million of Lenco Mobile shares directly to investors in private transactions. The SEC said he also paid commissions to stockbrokers to induce them to sell additional shares to clients.
The SEC said De Maison and other defendants inflated the share prices of Lenco Mobile and the other companies before dumping their shares on unsuspecting investors.
The Justice Department brought a parallel criminal case last year against De Maison and Stephen J. Wilshinsky, an ex-stock broker. Like the SEC, it later expanded its allegations to include violations related to Lenco Mobile and other stocks.
De Maison pleaded guilty in April to seven counts, including securities fraud and wire fraud. His sentencing is set for December. Wilshinsky also has pleaded guilty.
A document in the criminal case alleged that the fraud schemes De Maison orchestrated at Lenco Mobile, Casablancas Mining Ltd. (Pink Sheets: CUAU) and the other companies caused investors to buy more than $54 million in shares and suffer $27 million in losses.
The SEC did not publicize its amended complaint, which was filed in June. It added a number of stock brokers, former stock brokers and stock promoters as defendants.
The latest defendants in the case are:
–Gregory Goldstein, former owner of a California-based brokerage called Marquis Financial Sevices Inc.
–Talman Harris, a former stock broker who worked for a several firms during the period covered by the complaint
–William Scholander, another former stock broker who worked alongside Harris at those same firms.
–Jack Tagliaferro, also a former stocker broker.
–Victor Alfaya, who worked for a New York-based stock promotion service called Small Cap Resource Corp.
–Kona Jones Barbera, who also worked for Small Cap Resource and later set up a second firm called Quantum Financial Investments
– Justin Esposito, an employee of Small Cap Resource and Quantum Financial.
Another of the defendants in the original SEC case, a previously barred broker and recidivist securities offender named Justin Cope, was charged criminally in September in connection with the scheme.
The SEC said all of the brokers and promoters were involved in either the sale or manipulation of shares in the companies used in the fraud schemes.
Tagliaferro agreed last week to settle the charges against him. Although he neither admitted nor denied guilt, the judgment requires him to disgorge the profits he collected from his activities, and pay a civil penalty.
Harris and Scholander were barred from the brokerage industry last year in connection with a separate case. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority found that Harris and Scholander had recommended shares of a Chinese reverse-merger company, Deer Consumer Products Inc. (Pink Sheets: DEER) without disclosing that they had received $350,000 from the company, purportedly for consulting services.
The SEC brought fraud charges in September against Benjamin Wey, one of the architects of the Deer Consumer Products deal. It alleged that he concealed his ownership stake in that company, manipulated the stock price and then dumped his shares.
MULTIPLE SCHEMES, SIMILAR METHODS
The SEC said in its amended complaint that De Maison was involved in fraudulent “pump-and-dump” schemes involving six stocks from 2008 to 2014. In addition to Lenco Mobile and Casablancas Mining, those companies were Kensington Leasing Ltd. (formerly Pink Sheets: KNSL); Wikifamilies Inc. (formerly Pink Sheets: WFAM); Gepco Ltd. (formerly Pink Sheets: GEPC) and Lustros Inc. (Pink Sheets: LSTS).
Wikifamilies and Gepco were successors to Kensington Leasing. In other words, De Maison and his associates used a single company for three separate schemes.
The SEC said that De Maison caused each of the companies listed in the complaint to issue tens of millions of shares of stock to himself and his nominees, including his wife, former beauty queen Angelique De Maison.
It said he disposed of those shares through two types of illegal distributions. According to the SEC, De Maison used unregistered individuals – including people who had been barred from the brokerage industry for previous transgressions – to sell shares to investors in purported private placements.
It said De Maison also induced registered representatives at brokerage firms to buy shares in the companies for their clients’ accounts for the purpose of matching those trades with his public share sales.
The SEC said that De Maison and some of the other defendants manipulated the shares prices and trading volumes of the companies to create the appearance of genuine investor interest.
According to court filings, Cope received more than $6 million for his efforts in helping De Maison move stock.
The SEC said Goldstein and his nominees got $2.3 million for the Lenco scheme alone. It said that Wilshinsky got more than $1.2 million, while Harris and Scholander got more than $1 million.
SHARESLEUTH’S LENCO MOBILE INVESTIGATION
Neither the SEC’s original complaint nor its amended complaint makes any mention of Lenco Mobile’s involvement with Michael Crow, who previously was ordered to pay more than $7 million in penalties in connection with an earlier case.
Our investigation found that Lenco Mobile bought at least two companies linked to Crow, paying for the acquisitions with millions of shares of stock.
Crow had filed for personal bankruptcy in early 2010, listing debts of more than $11 million. The trustee in the case later brought fraudulent conveyance proceedings against Crow and a number of entities he created, alleging among other things that he used some of them to sell Lenco Mobile shares without disclosing the income.
The SEC brought another case against Crow last year, alleging that he and a co-defendant made false and misleading statements while raising $3.9 million for a dubious gold-mining venture in South America.
Our Lenco Mobile story also noted De Maison’s ties to Thomas Ronk, a former broker who runs Buyins.net, a web site that purports to identify stocks poised for big increases because of developments that are likely to trigger so-called “short squeezes.’’
Our investigation found that Ronk was connected to a privately held company that Lenco Mobile acquired for millions of shares of stock.
A transcript of a court hearing in De Maison’s criminal case shows that Ronk paid some of De Maison’s initial legal fees. It also shows that Ronk offered to help cover the expenses for De Maison’s proposed stay at a halfway house in Ohio, as an alternative to jailing him while he awaited trial.
A prosecutor representing the Justice Department at the hearing said the government had objected to the arrangement, adding that Ronk “was involved in the conspiracy.’’
The prosecutor noted that Ronk had been a senior executive at Casablancas Mining, one of the companies used in De Maison’s schemes. The prosecutor added that Ronk had received money and other things of value from De Maison, “either directly or indirectly, for purposes of doing things like touting the stock….”
Ronk has not been charged in either the civil or criminal case.
Posted in Short Takes
Stay tuned- can't give much on details yet but we are going after these crooks/scammers. Why the SEC isn't onto these guys prior is beyond me...like someone said on this board "Low hanging fruit for the SEC".
I've seen other stock scams but, this one is right out ridiculous and low rate creativity.
If you or anyone on this board are also interested in going after the money that was stolen from you, speak up. I can't say much on details but, I want people to know that something is in the works. Speak up if you think you might be interested.
I probably wont get most of my $$ back but, I sure as hell will make sure it's going to be a tough life from here on out for the people involved - they know who they are- and so do I.
Where might one first see that news?
So called Casablanca Mining, we have been watching you closely as well as others more involved than our group. They are coming for you soon and karma you will be served. SEEEEEEE YA! Can't wait to hear the news.
Talk about low hanging fruit. The last timely filing was in June of '13.
Makes me wonder, again, if the SEC is serious about doing their job.
CUAU is severely delinquent in filing their Financials and corporate filing obligations to the SEC. On Feb. 20, 2015 the SEC suspended 7 stocks from the Delinquent SEC Filers list, and it is likely that more delinquent Filers will be suspended.
Since Jan 1st, 2010 the SEC has suspended over 1290 stocks for Financials delinquencies. All of those Suspended stocks had their stock registrations revoked.
Shareholders should contact the company and pressure the Mgmt to file their delinquent Financials because ALL shareholders would be wiped out IF the SEC suspends the stock.
CUAU is on the list of delinquent filers:

That's pretty sad when they can't afford to pay $550 bucks. I thought Angelique was supposedly filthy sticking rich??
Where did the website go?
www.casablancamining.com
The last two SEC filings[10Q] are late. The 10Q for June 30, 2013 is now 5 months late.
Get ready for another Rally first of the Year 2014..
Big Market Will Take some profits and sell off..
January Effect to happen. ..when small caps has some of their biggest Rallies..
Angelique de Maison still owns a boatload of shares, so you know for sure a promo is bound to happen here:

A successful mining operation depends upon a readily accessible supply of ore and an efficient, cost-effective method for processing it into marketable commodities. As supplies of high-grade ore from many of the world's largest mining operations plateau or tail off, processing ore quickly and profitably has become a greater challenge. Casablanca Mining has majority interest in Fast Cooper, a company that has developed proprietary technology called electro-mining that extract coppers, silver and gold from raw mining materials using electrolysis. This technology is much faster and less expensive than traditional metal refining processes.
The electro-mining process is patented in Chile and South Africa, with patents pending in the US, Canada, China, Brazil and Colombia. In light of its proven advantages over traditional extraction methods, we expect that this technology will quickly gain traction in the market, creating a new licensing revenue stream completely separate from Casablanca's own mining operations. Implementation and licensing of electro-mining technology is projected to generate $3,550,023 in revenue in 2012.
