Thanks... Maybe this is why it's not yet on the SEC site. Seems they've also been investigating OWCP. An Enforcement attorney sent this letter to at least some OWCP shareholders. I've never seen that done. Ever.

Hundreds of bitcoin-mining servers stolen in Iceland
Two people held and others questioned over large-scale thefts from data centres
Agence France-Presse in Reykjavik Wed 7 Mar 2018 11.53 EST Last modified on Wed 7 Mar 2018 12.02 EST
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/mar/07/hundreds-of-bitcoin-mining-servers-stolen-in-iceland?CMP=twt_gu
About 600 computer servers used to mine bitcoin were stolen in Iceland in a series of large-scale robberies in December and January, according to police.
The servers were taken from data centres in Reykjanesbær, near Reykjavik airport, and Borgarnes on Iceland’s west coast.
About 10 people have been brought in for questioning, and two Icelanders in their 20s and 30s are being held on suspicion of involvement in the thefts, a police spokesman for south-west Iceland told AFP on Wednesday.
He suggested the thefts could be linked to organised crime, saying: “Everything points in that direction.”
The thieves may have wanted to use the stolen equipment to “mine”, or create, bitcoin – a potentially lucrative affair but one that requires advanced and expensive equipment.
Investigators are still trying to locate the missing equipment, which is valued at around 200m kronur (£1.45m).
Bitcoin’s value has soared since it came into being in 2009, though it has almost halved from a high of more than $19,500 in mid-December to $10,500 today.
Iceland has become a magnet for cryptocurrency farms, blockchain technologies and data centres because of its cold climate, which is instrumental in cooling the energy-consuming servers, and its low electricity prices.

Can't say how many times I have been threatened by some of these "CEO"s. The best threats came from Adam Barnett of OOAG.
But those quit when he went away to serve his life plus 50 year sentence for trying to kill others who spoke out against him (as well as a plethera of other things).
This can be serious stuff. LOT's of money is involved in these scams.

Japan to punish several cryptocurrency exchanges: sources
Takahiko Wada, Thomas Wilson MARCH 7, 2018 / 10:36 AM / UPDATED 29 MINUTES AGO 3 MIN READ
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-crypto-currencies-japan/japan-to-punish-several-cryptocurrency-exchanges-sources-idUSKCN1GJ1AE
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan’s financial regulator will slap administrative punishment notices on several cryptocurrency exchanges this week and plans to force some to suspend their business, people with direct knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday.
The Financial Services Agency may also order Coincheck Inc - the exchange targeted by hackers in a $530 million theft of digital money - to raise its standards, the sources said.
The move would be the second such order given by regulators to Coincheck since the hack in late January, which was one of the largest thefts of digital money ever.
The FSA will mete out the punishments after uncovering flaws in customer protection and anti-money laundering measures during on-site checks at the exchanges. It was unclear exactly which exchanges would be targeted, or what form the punishments would take.
The FSA was not available for comment outside business hours. Coincheck did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. The Coincheck heist underscored the risks of trading an asset with which policymakers across the globe are grappling, and drew attention to Japan’s system of regulating the exchanges.
Last year, Japan became the world’s first country to regulate cryptocurrency exchanges at the national level. So far 16 exchanges are registered with the authorities, while a further 16 - including Coincheck - were allowed to continue operating while regulators assessed their applications.
After the Coincheck heist, the FSA said it would investigate all cryptocurrency exchanges for security gaps, and ordered them to file reports on system risk management and cryptocurrency storage.
As a result of those checks the FSA will order some of the unregistered exchanges to halt their operations, the sources said.
The FSA told Coincheck after the cyber heist to bolster its security systems. The second improvement order will focus on customer protection, the sources said, with the FSA monitoring progress of compensating investors affected by the hack.
The exchange has promised to repay about 46.3 billion yen ($425 million) of the cryptocurrency it lost in the theft. Last month it said it has sufficient funds to make the repayments, but declined to specify when it would repay investors affected.
The regulator may also order two of the government-registered exchanges, Tokyo-based GMO Coin and Zaif, run by Osaka-based Tech Bureau Corp, to improve their business, the sources said.
Representatives of the exchanges could not be reached for comment late on Wednesday.
Zaif said last month that a system glitch had let seven customers buy bitcoins for free. Though none was able to profit from the mistake, the blunder drew further attention to security and systems at Japanese cryptocurrency exchanges.

It's great to be able to remember things from 2015!
FKN'A man... far out..groovy. I remember it well! This is from 2015!
And legitimate enterprises don't blame their low share price on short sellers.
Just turn up a profit, and the share price will take care of itself.
Great. I have three relatives who work for some of the top NYC law firms and also have close relatives who are ranking law enforcement brass.
Some of them are quite irrational. And end up spending much more time whining about people saying Mean Things about them in the social media than on getting a business up and running.
Already started the process today after work, thanks!
You're a publicly traded company and an investor made money on your company stock and sells because they either want to take profits due to rebalancing their portfolio, or because it's reached their price target. Instead of concentrating on the business and making it stronger, trying to take the PPS higher than where some investors sold, he attacks the shareholders in public and in private.
Never have seen that in my 30+ years of investing, definitely something I will have no part of with my money again, a businessman that wastes time with individual shareholders postings on a BB site won't make it in the long run.
Thanks.
Check out your State stalking laws................
Only in the movies? It's not really even unusual. There're a lot of pretty crazy penny CEOs out there.
Any thoughts on the best way to go about handling an OTC CEO (INTV) that was sending me obscene PMs until I blocked him, supposedly tweeting like mad about me and other investors which we cannot see because we are blocked there, receive threatening emails from the CEO and at work today actually was tracked down by this CEO I think where my name was said over and over, laughed at and then hung up on?
I thought this only happened in the movies? Wowza lol.

“UNIPLEX FORTIS GRAVIOLIS 36-FORT KNOXS“
Anyone?
Who are the ICJ & ICC
Background
The ICJ (International Court of Justice) and the ICC (International Criminal Court), here as icj-icc.org, are about the re-ratifying, re-vamping and re-establishing the original courts’ houses, as it were in 1811 AD, before its demise began in 1877. Under our new Services Charters for the icjglobal, icj-icc, icj-cij and ipcc-icc (intracourts system) and interlinked networked Supreme Court and High Courts Tribunals we are set to correct, restore and bring balance to all banking systems (private and public, including on-ledger and off-ledger journals) through processes of Accounting, Auditing and Redemption within our Settlors Offices.
The aperture planned covert rampant and stealing of the Royal Court files, ancestral assets and cash funds data, which eventually led to the gruesome tragic World War I (WW1) and World War II (WW2). After the World War I (WW1), and after the troublesome QINGHAI REVOLUTION in what is now the Mainland China, the remediation of the original KING SOLOMON 1867 PERSIA TREASURE BANK BONDED ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING SYSTEM and its original contributing parties took place. And, there was also the creation and establishment of THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS on this Planet Earth in 1919.
The Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ) which ensured Bilateral Ties were maintained for continuation of all 1871 AD Treaties which had temporarily stopped operations in 1917 AD at the height of the WORLD WAR I (WW1) in order to assure its paperwork in service for the original LEAGUE OF NATIONS (LoN), under its original Charter for Service was re-started in 1922. During this time, the original 1811 AD established Apex Court IPCC ICJ-GLOBAL SYSTEM, THE PERMANENT COURT OF INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE (PCIJ), THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (ICC) and THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE (ICJ), the Tripartite Treaties Bipartisan WORLD BANK DEVELOPMENT GROUP (WBDG) and the UNITED NATIONS SYSTEM (UNS) continued its operations up until 1941 AD and during the height of the WORLD WAR II (WW2), all these operations were stopped, temporarily.
Therefore, after the WORLD WAR II (WW2), the UNIPLEX FORTIS GRAVIOLIS 36-FORT KNOXS ably supported UNITED NATIONS (UN) was RE-STARTED which eventually amalgamated and replaced the original senatorial managed LEAGUE OF NATIONS (LoN) with the aim of ending wars among nations thereby re-establishing a mechanism for maintaining foreign affairs for the nations.

Yes. It's always mystified me that some people just can't see that.
And some folks wonder why we hang around penny scam stock boards without investing...you can’t BUY this kind of entertainment.
Another possibility. But the Intergalactic Court stuff is already longer than a film script.
And what other companies has Temple been associated with? How old is he, anyway?
It all ties together now...of course.
or some penny scammer went dumpster diving and found a discarded sci-fi movie script.
I believe I see a few Ray Barton fingerprints now - in the filings.
Ones I won’t post publicly for obvious reasons - he would delete them like last time I pointed them out!
Majestic Temple - just out of community college yet the attorney letter claims:
The person responsible for the preparation of the Annual Report is Majestic Temple, CEO and CFO of Issuer. Mr. Temple compiled the information for the Issuer and prepared the unaudited financial statements contained in the Annual Report. Mr. Temple has had years of experience in the preparation of financial statements for companies with which he has been associated and is qualified to prepare financial statements.

Stock Dilution Scam:
A share dilution scam happens when a company, typically traded in unregulated markets such as the OTC Bulletin Board and the Pink Sheets, repeatedly issues a massive amount of shares into the market for no reason, considerably devaluing share prices until they become almost worthless, causing huge losses to shareholders. Then, after share prices are at or near the minimum price a stock can trade and the share float has increased to an unsustainable level, those fraudulent companies tend to reverse split and continue repeating the same scheme.
Pump and Dump Schemes:
"Pump and dump" schemes, also known as "hype and dump manipulation," involve the touting of a company's stock (typically microcap companies) through false and misleading statements to the marketplace. After pumping the stock, fraudsters make huge profits by selling their cheap stock into the market.
Pump and dump schemes often occur on the Internet where it is common to see messages posted that urge readers to buy a stock quickly or to sell before the price goes down, or a telemarketer will call using the same sort of pitch. Often the promoters will claim to have "inside" information about an impending development or to use an "infallible" combination of economic and stock market data to pick stocks. In reality, they may be company insiders or paid promoters who stand to gain by selling their shares after the stock price is "pumped" up by the buying frenzy they create. Once these fraudsters "dump" their shares and stop hyping the stock, the price typically falls, and investors lose their money.
http://www.sec.gov/answers/pumpdump.htm
The key is understanding
The key is understanding that pink sheet stocks are not investments - 99% of them will lose value over the long run and never accomplish most of their forward looking pumping statements they put in press releases or on their websites. Never believe the hype - always be skeptical of everything you hear.
The people mostly making money with pink sheet stocks are promoters, front loading pumpers with big followings they can dump on, crooks, some of the flippers, and sometimes the very lucky.
Pumpers only tell you to buy stocks that they already own. Pumpers only tell you to hold stocks because they want to make sure you hold longer than them.
They make money by pumping the stock and getting other people to buy then dumping their shares on the followers.
If you really want to take the risk of trying to make money trading pink sheet companies then you have to understand how the game works and never ever hold long term - take profits when you can. Pump and Dumps dominate the IHUB forums.
Trading pink sheet stocks is a sick game full of lies and deceit where people take advantage of the inexperienced and naive stealing away their life savings for their own personal gains.
Very little respect or morals exist in stinky pinky land.
