Two sentenced in securities fraud conspiracy


HOUSTON – Two defendants charged in relation to a more than $40 million securities fraud “pump and dump” conspiracy have now been ordered to prison, announced U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Patrick.

John David Brotherton, 60, League City, pleaded guilty Feb. 12, 2019, while Charles Earl Grob, 39, Houston, admitted his guilt Dec. 5, 2018.

Today, U.S. District Judge Vanessa Gilmore imposed a 60-month sentence for Brotherton, while Grob received a sentence of 12 months.

Brotherton and Grob were also ordered to forfeit $1.9 million and $242,907.09, respectively, and serve three years of supervised release following their sentences. The court also ordered each man to pay restitution to the victims of the fraud. The amount will be determined at a later date.

Brotherton and Grob admitted they participated in a conspiracy to commit fraud in microcap securities. During the course of the conspiracy, they obtained control of the stock of numerous companies, then “pumped up” the price of the stock through false and misleading press releases and fraudulent trading techniques. They then “dumped” their shares of stock onto the market for a significant profit.

Brotherton, who is in now in custody following violations of his conditions of release, will remain there pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future. Grob was permitted to remain on bond and voluntarily surrender at a later date.

Five others - Andrew Ian Farmer, 41, Thomas Galen Massey, 49, Eddie Douglas Austin Jr., 69, and Carolyn Price Austin 65, all of Houston; and Scott Russell Sieck, 61, of Winter Park, Florida, also pleaded guilty for their respective roles and will be sentenced later this year.

The FBI conducted the investigation with the assistance of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Justin R. Martin and Michael Chu are prosecuting the case.

Still lurking....

So up to 5 years in jail and $250k fine?

[SoFLwire]

3.6 Million plea bargain deal for Eddie Austin. Probably peanuts for him, and his wife, Carolyn. If jail is off the table, how long until they are back in business with a new penny stock? Maybe they will get their dog to be CEO this time, to avoid having any personal management role. I give them six months, tops, to come up with a new fraudulent scheme. I've been trying to get in touch with you, Voices of Reason. Do you have an e-mail address?

I think Scion and 236T brought this one to light. Figured you would like the update as I noticed you have been following this chain of creatures of six degrees of scam association.

[Voices of Reason]

Much appreciated!

Carolyn Austin's other buddy, Robert Hines, is still running the same type of sham at OWOO. OWOO was founded by convicted felon, Trent Daniel. Carolyn is the wife of Eddie Austin, Jr., who is already disbarred from penny stocks. The Austin's are long time close friends with SEC recividists and convicted felons, Darrel and Jack Uselton.

Andrew Farmer is also behind Infinite Funding, having run yet another sham over at DOMK

Up again 3,233.3% on 5 trades??

[MODiFiEDZ]

Why is this up 9,900% on just 3 trades the entire day?

[RRV]

Where did you get all this info please tell

[236T568]

so....did anything about the 31 year old insurance salesman as CEO and with a company virtual office give you a hint about this being a scam?

how about the licensing agreement with a Chinese individual that was filed with the SEC and posted on this board that looked like it was drafted by a 3rd grader?

did that give you any idea that this was a scam?

how about all those false and misleading statements about dealing with PEMEX?

How about the supplier that issued a press release stating that CHMR was not a client of theirs as CHMR had claimed?

[BigUglyPapa]

WEll... This sucks. I am just a normal Middle Class worker. Have a little Ameritrade account because the company I work for doesn't offer any retirement or 401k. I work my 60 hours a week. Never miss a day. Try to save a little money to help my kids with college and hope they aren't in debt to the system and Student Loans their whole lives.... I read about this Chimera.. sounds great.. what a technology... sound to good to be true. But hey the SEC let them in the Dow... there is no way that the Govt would let a scam artist get into the market and fool millions of folks... well that seems to be what happened. So know I had saved 6500.00- a meager amount to you investors.. but 9 years of penny pinching for me.. I put it all into Chimera.. and now worth 600.00.. and I am sure that it will be worth NOTHING soon enough. How the heck can this stuff happen... UGhhhh. any info would be excellent... Ross.Dennis@Live dot com .. maybe someone can explain what I can do... am I just "screwed"?
