Big guy and his son maybe cellmates next to justin
What gets me is there must have been of hundreds of times where people told him “thank you for your service” and he would sit there taking that honor away from those who served and died for it. Makes me sick.

KEY POINTS
Prosecutors are asking a California federal judge to jail a recent fugitive, Justin Costello, without bail. He is accused of a brazen $35 million fraud.
Costello falsely told investors he was a billionaire, a Harvard MBA and a special forces veteran who was wounded twice in Iraq.
One look at the content of his; he was headed for Mexico. MFer.
Link to court case details is here....
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/65408949/united-states-v-costello/
Most of the interesting documents are available. Enjoy.
That previous arrest where he claimed to be all that and threatened a bunch of people including a police officer, is coming back to haunt him....
From recent case files...
"18 U.S.C. §3142(g)(4)—danger to the community
Costello is also a danger to the community. In addition to defrauding nearly 30 victims out of approximately $6 million, Costello has had police contact involving threats and violence. Specifically, in September 2019, Costello was arrested and charged in Snoqualmie, Washington with intimidating a witness and failing to comply. According to that police report, Costello made numerous threats to
civilian witnesses and law enforcement concerning Costello referring to his financial wherewithal and paying for third parties to harm witnesses and cause financial repercussions to police if he was arrested.
For those reasons, and those that will be further argued at the detention hearing, Costello should also be detained on the basis that his release pending trial would pose a danger to the community. "
Yes, Costello was a busy guy incorporating lots of companies from that same address, as well as using a Bellevue Washington address and others.
All the Justin Costello companies are listed at the bottom of the page:

I think "Pacific Compliance Corporation" is quite the ironic name.
What scum....his wife knows where it is
It's all gone. The court injunction order was from 2020
"After reviewing defendants’ response to the Court’s inquiries about the status of plaintiffs’
funds, see Dkt. No. 151, the Court has serious concerns that defendants have not complied with
the preliminary injunction order. The injunction prohibited Pacific Banking Corp. (PBC), Justin
Costello, and GRN Funds, LLC, “and their officers, agents, servants, employees and attorneys,
and any other persons in active concert or participation with them,” from (i) “using, drawing
down, transferring or in any way reducing the funds deposited with PBC by CCSAC, Inc. or
CANN Distributors, Inc. without their express consent;” and (ii) “[d]eleting, destroying, editing,
or in any way altering any records relating to plaintiffs’ deposits, including without limitation all
transaction and deposit balance records.”
By court order, and under penalty of perjury, Costello was required to state what of the marijuana company's money was held in PBC/GRN/Costello bank account(s) as of 9/9/2022. Costello claimed $2,923,858.13 as of 9/9/2022. The indictment states what was in the checking account as of 9/9 was $15.35.
I believe I read his assets were frozen. His wife is an accessory for sure. How long will it be until she falls?
Didn't the Justice Department freeze his assets?
IG
I hope he screams to the FBI or US - "Do you know who I am - I am a Billionaire and will have your jobs"
IG
When I told you about being passed along - I saw some bad Ju Ju.
Donald Steinberg - he might pump it but don't believe anything he says.
Here is an example:
"SecurCapital Holdings Corp. (OTC PINK:CQER) ("CQER" or the "Company") announces Cannabis industry veteran, Donald Steinberg, has founded Marijuana Strategic Ventures, Inc. to offer unprecedented opportunities for exponential upside with Cannabis mergers and strategic partnerships.
In 2009, Steinberg founded Medical Marijuana Inc., the first Marijuana company ever to be listed on a US stock exchange. In 2015, he founded Marijuana Company of America, and took it public."
"Donald Steinberg is another conman he was partners with HEMP - Bruce Perlowin and Don Steinberg.
Don Steinberg and Bruce Perlowin are convicted felons. They were busted for heading up a smuggling operation that smuggled tons of marijuana into the United States and Canada in the 1980s.
SEC Charges Hemp Inc. and CEO Bruce Perlowin with Fraud in 2016."
IG
My experience is these shells bounce around between promoters - they never die.
If the right promoter gets control of the shell and Costello isn't a top drawer note holder - then it can rise again.
Just think of all OTC companies as Company X and disregard all of the hype - play the price action and always take profits.
As Warren Buffett said (possibly)
Rule #1 Never take Losses
Rule #2 Never Forget Rule #1.
IG
If the money Costello used to buy the DCGD shell was stolen, can he legally sell the control block to the new guy?
I-Glow what do you think of GRNF, will it be affected? Do you have any kind of relationship with COSTELO or is it an independent company? I see there is a symbol change and an R/S 1:20 for this month...
https://www.otcmarkets.com/otcapi/company/financial-report/347437/content
On May 25, 2022, the Company held a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors wherefore it was resolved to amend the Company’s
Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name from GRN Holding Corporation to Marijuana Inc.; and, File a FINRA
corporate action notification form to change the Company’s name and to obtain the new trading symbol; MAJI; and, wherefore it was
also resolved that the Board of Directors approved a resolution to effect a 1 for 20 reverse stock split with the belief that, among other
reasons that the reverse stock split may improve the price level of the Company's Common Stock and that the higher share price could
help generate interest in the Company among investors and other business opportunities. As of July 31, 2022, all of these actions are
still pending, however, the Company does anticipate that these actions will be completed during the fiscal quarter ending October 31,
2022.
NOTE 6 – COMMON STOCK
The Corporation is authorized to issue 750,000,000 Shares of Common Stock. As of July 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022, the Company
had 279,990,976 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
On June 30, 2022, Donald Steinberg transferred his 144,000,000 Shares of Common Stock to Earth Onyx LLC, of which he is the
control person.
On July 1, 2022, the Company committed to issuing 50,000,000 Shares of Common Stock in exchange for consulting services.
Welp after all these years of Justin getting away with murder basically, you were right all along I-glow. I honestly hope that his wife gets charged to she aided and abetted his ass for years. Good work sir.
Khanman from the beginning
This will make you smile.

They got him.

Finally over for this con artist
The #FBI in Seattle, WA, wants Justin Costello for his alleged involvement in several schemes, ultimately defrauding some businesses & thousands of investors of over $30 million. He may be with his wife, who is not a fugitive from the law, & their dog: https://t.co/85tQn0b2k2 pic.twitter.com/Xf4tnvXjel

It's great that the SEC is finally going after Costello. However, while I understand the SEC has limited resources and wants to present a complete case that can be won. I wish they would have stepped in prior to all the "lower" income retail investors losing their money, even with a minor fine.
No..he also is busted per last week's complaint
Think we can get BUX to comment.....
Hawk
thanks - but it is always a team investigation. One person finds something another doesn't but helps it all pull together.
Plus some have way more stamina to hang in there to warn new investors - something I can't do with every stock I look at. That has plenty of value.
I get frustrated with the length of time it takes for litigation - usually 3 to 4 years it seems. Much of the losses already occurred by then. But while the wheels of justice turn slowly - they are turning. Something that keeps me going.
Bux is a weasel. Cried like a baby said while sobbing..cAn weez make a deal? Pleeesase??
