"The Company disclosing its intent to voluntarily delist its common stock from the OTC Bulletin Board"
8k June 22 2011
http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=8005165
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
The Company is issuing this 8-K as a result of a press release issued by The Company disclosing its intent to voluntarily delist its common stock from the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company anticipates that the delisting will be effective 10 days after filing of the Form 15, “Notification of Removal from Listing.” The Company intends to file Form 15 on or after June 22, 2011.
The Board of Directors of the Company approved the voluntary delisting of the Company’s common stock on June 22, 2011, due to the following reasons:
(a)
The significant costs associated with regulatory compliance impose a burden that the Company cannot bear given its current financial position. In addition, the current benefits of being a public company is outweighed by the financial burdens imposed by such status; and
(b)
The shares of the company are currently held by less than 300 record holders and are thinly traded.
Upon removal of listing, the Company shall cease to file reports with the Security and Exchange Commission.

perhaps it´s afrontlading from anyone?
isn´t it a shell now?
Buyout was done last year but nothing for shareholder, don't know why share are still floating around..!!??!!??
They're not publicly trading anymore
i see some moves today but i cant buy , wonder whats going on ?
is it true they have 174.60M outstanding ?
Haven't tried...been sitting on my shares here for months...MWIS
any one able to buy this , it wont let my due to restricted dtc , any one ?
It's about a old stock. What happen with the VRNG acquiring the assets of MWIS, I know that Mwise delisted the common share, but did the M-wise common shareholder receive any money for their share or VRNG share in exchange for M-wise share?
Thanks
I'm just fallowing up on Mwise and Vringo.
Virgo something about lawsuit with google or something like that?
I thought M-wise common shareholder got screw on this deal with Vringo?
MWIS holds 1,9 million VRNG shares which are worth about 3 million dollar!
This means that the MWIS share is worth minimum 0.016 to 0.017 dollar. At the current share price of 0.0022 this means a poential of 750% !!!
You can do nothing wrong buying this share. Even when the management would choose to delist or buyout the shareholders.
Life is beautiful!
New York Stock Broker Sentenced to Prison in International Stock Fraud Scheme
Department of Justice
Office of Public Affairs
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York Stock Broker Sentenced to Prison in International Stock Fraud Scheme
WASHINGTON - A New York stock broker was sentenced today to 24 months in prison for his role in a wide-ranging international stock fraud scheme involving the illegal use of bulk commercial emails, or “spamming,” to promote thinly-traded Chinese penny stocks, announced A ssistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade for the Eastern District of Michigan.
Gregg M. S. Berger, 47, of New York, N.Y., was ordered by U.S. District Judge Marianne O. Battani in Detroit to serve three years of supervised release following his prison term. Berger agreed to forfeit $600,000 to the United States.
According to court documents, Berger conspired with Alan Ralsky, Francis Tribble, How Wai John Hui, Scott Bradley and others to carry out a sophisticated stock fraud scheme from January 2005 through December 2007. Ralsky, Tribble, Hui and Bradley have all been convicted and sentenced for their roles in the scheme.
“Mr. Berger used his position as a stock broker to generate more than $30 million in illegal proceeds for his co-conspirators, and more than half a million dollars for himself,” said Assistant Attorney General Breuer. “Today’s sentence reflects our sustained commitment to ensuring the integrity of our financial markets, and to holding accountable those who try to manipulate them.”
“Schemes that manipulate stock prices undermine public confidence in the stock market, and can have serious impact on our economy,” said U.S. Attorney McQuade.
“Illegal activity involving the investment industry has brought financial ruin to many Americans. IRS Criminal Investigation is pleased to bring our forensic accounting skills to this joint venture to put a stop to this and other types of white collar fraud,” said Erick Martinez, Special Agent in Charge of the IRS Criminal Investigation Detroit Field Office.
Berger was indicted in the Eastern District of Michigan in December 2010 and pleaded guilty in April 2011 to conspiring to commit securities fraud and wire fraud.
The charges arose after a multi-year investigation, led by agents from the FBI, with assistance from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), revealed a sophisticated and extensive operation that largely focused on running a “pump and dump” scheme, whereby the defendants sent spam touting thinly-traded Chinese penny stocks, drove up their stock price, and reaped profits by selling the stock at artificially inflated prices.
In pleading guilty, Berger acknowledged that he established brokerage accounts at the direction of Hui and Tribble, and communicated with Ralsky and Bradley during the conspiracy. Berger’s role was to trade the stocks that were illegally promoted by spam email campaigns, arrange for shares of the stocks to be transferred into the brokerage accounts, and execute stock trades at the direction of Tribble, rather than the direction of the named account holders. Berger also caused the transfer of the proceeds from the trading of the stocks to bank accounts controlled by the conspirators. He also provided confidential account information, including trade amounts, prices, cash balances and wire transfer details to Tribble, Bradley and others involved in the scheme who were not entitled to such information and did not have authorization from the actual named account holders.
The stocks pumped-and-dumped included China World Trade Corporation (CWTD), Pingchuan Pharmaceutical Inc. (PGCN), China Digital Media Corporation (CDGT), World Wide Biotech and Pharmaceutical Co. (WWBP), China Mobility Solutions (CHMS) and m-Wise (MWIS).
According to court documents, during the course of the scheme, Berger caused the sale of approximately 30 million shares of stock, generating approximately $30 million for the co-conspirators and over $600,000 in commissions for Berger.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Terrence Berg of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan and Senior Counsel Thomas Dukes of the Criminal Division’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section. The case was investigated by the FBI, IRS and U.S. Postal Inspection Service. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Philadelphia Regional Office has provided significant ongoing assistance in this case.

#: B0846-11
Date: August 5, 2011
To: All Participants
Category: Settlement
From: Settlement Department
Attention: Settlement Manager/Managing Director/Cashier
Subject: Clean up of Aged Fails in Select Globally Locked CUSIPs
DTC will support a program to facilitate the industry's clean up of aged fails in select globally
locked securities. This notice details the information necessary for firms to participate in this
program, which is scheduled to occur during the period August 15, 2011 through August 19,
2011.
Background
DTC may impose certain restrictions on a security in situations where DTC may become aware of
certain potentially illegal or otherwise questionable features of a security, its issuer or other principal
parties. In addition, DTC may place restrictions when it has been informed by the issuer or its agent,
regulators or law enforcement, or has other compliance concerns that its Cede & Co certificate
inventory has been compromised due to unauthorized, altered, fraudulent or counterfeit share issuance.
If DTC reasonably suspects that all or a portion of its street name holdings of a security, may not be
fungible and freely transferable as required for DTC services, it may decide, with respect to that
security, to chill one or more of its services or place a global lock on all services, as it deems
appropriate.
Impact of a Global Lock and Trade Fails
A global lock on a security prevents the security from being transferred on the books of DTC and
otherwise restricts any DTC activity with respect to the security. For so long as the global lock is in
effect, Participants are unable to settle any further trades in that security, as their inventory is frozen
and settlement of pending trades will fail. If counterparties nevertheless continue to trade in a security
which is globally locked and those trades are submitted to DTC for settlement, those trades will also
fail and be rejected in DTC’s system.
In connection with certain designated CUSIPs (see Exhibit A attached), although DTC issued an
Important Notice to its Participants to advise that the global lock was implemented, many Participants
Non-Confidential 2
did not immediately stop trading in these securities and additional trades occurred, so that firms
experienced a growing number of trade fails.
DTC has been working proactively with the industry to increase awareness of our global lock process,
to eliminate these difficulties in future. DTC also enhanced its procedures to expedite the release of
any Important Notice reflecting a global lock, so firms can promptly halt trading in affected securities.
Additionally, DTC implemented on June 10, 2011 a global lock reason [code] on its security master
file and related outputs (ELIS and DWIZ files - see important notice B-0811-11 dated May 24, 2011 -
http://www.dtcc.com/downloads/legal/imp_notices/2011/dtc/ope/0811-11.pdf) to allow Participants to receive
an automated notification in the event a global lock occurs. This enhancement provides Participants
the ability to update their systems to automatically block future trading of affected securities, as well as
alerting Compliance areas of the Participants so that they may investigate activity related to these
securities.
Despite these improvements, Participants and DTC have a legacy issue of accumulated trade fails that
occurred prior to these enhancements.
Proposed Solution
Working with the Participants, DTC identified a number of options and determined that the preferred
solution is to lift the global lock on designated CUSIPs for a limited period of time, to allow
Participants to take appropriate steps (including any appropriate segregation updates) to make
deliveries that will resolve outstanding fails in the designated CUSIPs. DTC will report all such deliver
orders during the specified period to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
DTC cautions participants that, if a participant were to make or receive deliveries to or from a
party other than the original counterparty or the NSCC assigned counterparty, which resulted in
the fails in the designated CUSIP, change of such counterparty to the transaction likely would be
deemed to be effecting a new transaction.
Securities subject to a trading halt by the Commission will be excluded from this program. The
attached list will be re-verified during the Amnesty period and if any securities are subsequently found
to be subject to a trading halt, they will be excluded at that time and Participants will be informed via a
subsequent important notice.
As to these designated CUSIPs, however, DTC will not lift the related deposit chill. If there are failed
deliveries in these CUSIPs that are dependent upon physical securities held outside of DTC, settlement
of those trades must be effected by physical delivery outside of DTC.
As outlined below, DTC will offer Participants the opportunity to make the necessary updates and
deliveries to complete their failed transactions during a specified limited time period, as follows:
DTC will lift the global lock and the SEG chill on Friday night, August 12, 2011 until
approximately 5:00 PM Friday night August 19, 2011. DTC will maintain chills on other
services including deposits and withdrawals to prevent any unintended transactions from
occurring. This update will permit participants the ability to send in their memo seg
instructions and permit them to segregate or release positions in these securities for several days
in advance of the delivery time period outlined below,
Non-Confidential 3
The Eligible Securities (ELIS) files will systematically reflect the global lock and SEG chill
removals and are typically available to participants between 7:30 PM and 8:00 PM EST each
day.
The Data Delivery Service (DWIZ) change files will also reflect the global lock and SEG chill
removals and are typically available to participants between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM EST each
day.
In addition, on the evening of August 17, 2011, DTC will also remove the DO chill on all
CUSIPs identified below. This change will also be reflected in the ELIS and DWIZ files
created on the night of August 17, 2011. This will allow all participants to submit deliver
orders to DTC for processing on the next 2 business days, August 18 and August 19, 2011.
Obligation Warehouse (OW) users should include the OW control number on all DOs to ensure
that the settlement status associated with these obligations is updated in the OW.
These CUSIPs will maintain this “unlocked” status until the night of August 19. This will
permit participants to have two business days to process instructions against an ELIS and
DWIZ files that contains the changes to the affected CUSIPs.
DTC will continue to accept MSEG, SEG and Deliver Order and reclaim instructions for all
CUSIPs identified below until the applicable valued cutoffs occur or approximately 5:00 PM on
August 19, 2011.
Prior to the night cycle beginning on August 19, 2011, DTC will restore all CUSIPs to their
original status by reinstating the SEG and DO chills as well as the applicable global locks. Any
future dated transactions or additional input after the status is reinstated, e.g., memo seg, Night
Deliver Orders will reject.
If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact your Relationship Manager.

I am still able to trade my shares through e*trade
and nothing has changed ticker wise, I would contact your broker
Ummm, ok so my broker now lists my shares under what appears to be a CUSIP # instead of the MWIS ticker symbol. Is this permanent? The stock is still trading from what I can see (had volume today), so why are my shares suddenly unavailable? I've bought shares in companies that have filed 15-12G forms before w/ no problem. What is the issue here w/ MWIS?
sorry but I don't think so.
I'm wondering if this is going to rise up so people can get out
Well...
(a) The significant costs associated with regulatory compliance impose a burden that the Company cannot bear given its current financial position. In addition, the current benefits of being a public company is outweighed by the financial burdens imposed by such status; and
(b) The shares of the company are currently held by less than 300 record holders and are thinly traded.
Upon removal of listing, the Company shall cease to file reports with the Security and Exchange Commission.
You think they signed this agreement to just not exist anymore???
Vringo and m-Wise Sign Strategic Cooperation Agreement
Highly doubt it.
Buh-bye MWIS . Glad I played free shares. Oh well.
this is a good start for MWIS IMO
Yep, back on radar now that the sale of assets has been nixed and that both companies remain separate, viable entities working together.

Vringo, Inc. (NYSE Amex: VRNG), a provider of software platforms for mobile video applications and video ringtones, today announced that it has entered into a Strategic Cooperation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with m-Wise, Inc. (OTCBB: MWIS), a technology expert in mobile content management and delivery.
The Agreement supersedes prior arrangements and proposed transactions between the companies, including the non-binding Letter of Intent entered into between the parties on March 8, 2011, pursuant to which Vringo agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase all or substantially all of the assets of m-Wise, which has been terminated.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the parties agree to cooperate on projects while retaining their respective intellectual property and independent operations. In addition, the parties agree to make introductions and referrals to the products and services of the other party and will receive commissions for successful referrals. Vringo will also license m-Wise’s MOMA platform to build and sell services. The Agreement allows Vringo and m-Wise to continue to work closely together and expand joint sales and marketing opportunities with leading content owners and service providers within the mobile communications arena. Financial terms of the Agreement are not being disclosed.
"We believe this strategic agreement is a positive step forward for both Vringo and m-Wise," said Jon Medved, Vringo's Chief Executive Officer. "Vringo and m-Wise have already begun to work together and our teams have jointly worked on the launch of several upcoming services. By formalizing our cooperation, we will be able to continue to utilize m-Wise’s rich back-end server technology in conjunction with our significant video application capabilities. We intend to work closely with m-Wise to release multiple new video and other mobile consumer services to our growing family of content and carrier partners."
m-Wise provides a platform used by leading content owners and service providers to manage, deliver and monetize mobile entertainment, content and applications. The m-Wise mobile software as a service (SaaS) platform is used to power over three million daily mobile service transactions world-wide, and m-Wise has performed over one billion mobile transactions in the aggregate since it was founded in March 2000.
m-Wise's platform has been utilized in over 300 applications across more than 50 mobile networks by more than 50 international content and media providers. m-Wise's current customers include leading companies such as SendmeMobile (formerly Thumbplay), Jesta Digital (formerly Fox Mobile Group), Universal Music Group, Digicel and Snackable Media. These m-Wise-enabled applications for content and media partners include content delivery services, ringtones, music, video, games, information services, alerts and advertising and promotions, all of which were developed and delivered from the cloud on a hosted basis.
Zach Sivan, m-Wise's CEO, commented, "We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Vringo as a key partner, leveraging our product strengths to offer content and media providers the solutions they require in order to provide value added mobile services. We believe our partnership with Vringo will help provide a rich end-to-end mobile application service platform to an expanded list of customers, as well as directly to consumers."
Vringo offers a range of fully-hosted mobile video platforms for partners and consumers.
