best to you!!!!
Same here.
I've written them off mentally for the past few years, but will use them as a tax write-off at the most opportune time for me, perhaps next year if the SEC and OSC ever clears the docket on this nonsense.
i wonder if the shares we hold in our accounts are still good..i never sold out or had fidelity just get rid of them...so here we sit , still holding.....
Absolutely amazing !
Any authorities with any common horse sense would have these folks stripped of assets, behind bars, and thrown the key to that cell into the nearest river......sheesh......then again we're dealing with parasite lawyers without a milligram of common horse sense.
The OSC was supposedly going to have a brief hearing sometime in October with another followup hearing in February of 2012 I believe ... hey .... it's only been about five years
Hope you and I have better returns on the rest of our endeavors.

Boock isn't giving up without a fight, see half way down
SEC wins decision against hijacking target Wong

by Mike Caswell
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has won an order finding Ontario resident Jason Wong liable for a scheme to hijack defunct public companies. In a summary judgment released on Aug. 25, 2011, New York Judge Denise Cote has ruled that Mr. Wong "engaged in deliberate fraudulent behavior" when he filed false documents with Cusip Global Services and government agencies.
The SEC claimed that Mr. Wong and others improperly took control of 43 inactive public companies between 2003 and 2007. Using false paperwork and bogus corporate resolutions, they obtained new Cusip numbers and trading symbols for the companies. They then sold them as shells, profiting from both the sale of control and from subsequent share sales, the regulator said. One of the companies went on to become Toronto Stock Exchange listing Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. and another became Surrey-based World Hockey Association Corp. (The SEC did not accuse either company of any wrongdoing.)
The regulator sought a summary judgment against Mr. Wong on Feb. 25, 2011, arguing that the case against him was so overwhelming that there was no need for a trial. The SEC's evidence included several e-mails in which he and his co-defendants discussed the day-to-day issues they faced in taking over and selling the shells. Moreover, two of his co-defendants had admitted to allegations in the complaint, and both implicated Mr. Wong.
Judge Cote, in Friday's decision, agreed with the SEC. In doing so she rejected Mr. Wong's argument that he did not know anything about the hijackings and that somebody had used his name. She said it was clear that he knew the corporations had been misappropriated as he participated in nearly every step of the scheme. Among other things, he issued shares for the hijacked companies and worked to find shell buyers. He also sold millions of shares, the judge found.
With the issue of Mr. Wong's liability decided, the SEC may now apply for an appropriate penalty against him. That process could take some time, if the case against Mr. Wong's co-defendant, Ontario resident Irwin Boock, is any indication. The SEC won a default against Mr. Boock on March 26, 2010, and has been attempting to obtain his banking records in Canada for several months to help determine his penalty. The regulator has complained several times about little co-operation from Mr. Boock in obtaining the records, and recently sought the assistance of the Ontario courts.
SEC's complaint
The case began on Sept. 29, 2009, when the SEC filed a civil complaint against Mr. Wong, Mr. Boock and others in the Southern District of New York. The suit claimed that the men participated in a four-year scheme, starting in November, 2003, that targeted inactive public companies trading on the pink sheets. They ran the scheme through Select American Transfer, a transfer agency that they operated, and for which Mr. Wong served as president.
The hijacking targets, as described by the SEC, were typically inactive companies that still traded, but lacked a current transfer agent or contact person. The men scanned the pink sheets website to locate such companies. Once they identified a target, they reactivated the company through the appropriate secretary of state using false names and addresses, the SEC said.
In some instances, they discovered that the secretary of state had declared a company void. When this happened, they simply incorporated a new entity with the same name and used it to assume the identity of the old company, the SEC claimed. They would then roll back the stock, change the company's name, and obtain a new Cusip number and trading symbol.
Aiding with the scheme were two Houston lawyers, Roger Shoss and Nicolette Loisel, who helped Mr. Boock and Mr. Wong obtain free-trading shares in the companies, the complaint stated. The lawyers, who are also defendants, drafted bogus opinion letters that authorized the issuance of 223 million free-trading shares for 19 of the companies. Ms. Loisel also prepared fraudulent transfer agent verification forms, and received $455,000 for her services, according to the SEC. (All figures are in U.S. dollars.)
The complaint did not clearly state how much money the men made from the scheme. The SEC said that Mr. Boock received $267,625 in 2007 by selling shares of five of the hijacked companies through a Florida brokerage account. It also said that another of the defendants, Toronto resident Stanton DeFreitas, sold shares of 30 hijacked stocks through offshore companies and had his brokerage transfer $2.2-million in proceeds to a Toronto bank account.
The SEC sought appropriate civil penalties and penny stock bans against each defendant.
With the decision against Mr. Wong, the SEC has won the liability part of the case against each Canadian defendant. A judge found that Mr. DeFreitas had defaulted in the case on March 26, 2010. The only issue to determine is the penalties.
The case against the remaining two defendants, Mr. Shoss and Ms. Loisel, is on hold while they answer criminal charges for a separate hijacking scheme. According to Florida prosecutors, they were part of a group that hijacked 54 companies and sold shares in those companies to residents in the United Kingdom, taking over $100-million from investors. Mr. Shoss and Ms. Loisel have pleaded not guilty and await trial.
Update available at OSC.Gov : Pre-Hearing is rescheduled for May 24th, 2011 3:30 PM ET
Considering the number of reschedules one can only conclude that the criminals are running the show and determining the real schedule.
It also leads one to conclude that the Canadian Security Commissions appear to be as inept as our U.S. regulators ..... heck, it's only about 4 years now for them to have accomplished just about nothing......no wonder that fraud is running rampant.
Probaly the judge is giving one of us time to follow him home I hope there scared this could happen ,I hope all of them crooks burn

SEC seeks summary judgment against Jason Wong
2011-03-04 14:56 ET - Street Wire
by Mike Caswell, StockWatch.com
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a motion for a summary judgment against Jason Wong, the Ontario man facing civil fraud charges for his role in a pink sheets hijacking scheme. The regulator claims that he and others improperly took over 43 inactive public companies and sold them as shells. The evidence against Mr. Wong is so overwhelming that there is no need for a trial, according to the motion.
The SEC initially charged Mr. Wong and others with the hijacking scheme in September, 2009. It said that they took control of inactive public companies by filing false paperwork with the Cusip Bureau and with multiple secretaries of state. They then sold the companies to various buyers. One of the companies went on to become Toronto Stock Exchange listing Paramount Gold and Silver Corp., and another became Surrey-based pink sheets listing World Hockey Association Corp. (The SEC did not accuse either company of any wrongdoing.)
Motion for summary judgment
The SEC filed its motion for a summary judgment against Mr. Wong on Feb. 25, 2011, in the Southern District of New York. In it, the regulator claims to have evidence from more than a dozen witnesses, banks, phone companies and other regulatory agencies that shows Mr. Wong played a substantial role in the scheme. Moreover, two of his co-defendants have admitted to the allegations in the complaint, and both implicated Mr. Wong, the motion states.
The mechanics of the fraud, as described by the motion, were fairly simple. Mr. Wong and his long-time friend, Irwin Boock, sought out public shells that had gone dormant. Using false paperwork and bogus corporate resolutions, they obtained a new Cusip number and a new trading symbol for each company, as well as control over its shares. Then they sold the shells to clients, usually people looking to raise money in the market, the motion states. In some cases, they participated in promoting the stocks, and sold shares of the companies on the market.
According to the SEC, Mr. Wong participated in the scheme with full knowledge that the companies were hijacked. The evidence against him includes several e-mails between him and his co-defendants, in which they discussed the day-to-day issues they faced in taking over and selling the shells. One, dated Sept. 19, 2004, came after they received a complaint from the real president of one of the hijacked companies. The e-mail instructed Mr. Wong to threaten the president with legal action. Another e-mail instructed Mr. Wong to request $150,000 from an individual named J.F. Amyot as payment for a shell.
Other evidence cited in the motion came from government sources. This included testimony from Peter McNally, the manager of operations at Cusip Global Services. He told the SEC that Mr. Wong's name raised a red flag, because he or others connected to him sent an extraordinary number of Cusip requests.
Mr. Wong's activity also gained the attention of the Nasdaq, which processed name change requests for the hijacked companies. The exchange found it unusual that Mr. Wong's name appeared on requests as both the president of the public company and the president of the company's transfer agent, the SEC says.
Central to the scheme, as described by the SEC, was Mr. Wong's control over an Ontario transfer agent called Select American Transfer. The SEC says Select American Transfer served as the agent for many of the hijacked companies, and filed the necessary paperwork for name changes and share issuances. The firm's only employee, a 24-year-old student from Guyana, told the SEC that she simply did what Mr. Wong told her to do.
Mr. Wong's compensation for the scheme was largely with shares of the hijacked companies, the SEC says. Trading records indicated that he deposited stock for nine of the companies with an account at RBC Bank, and that he sold the shares almost immediately. The motion does not state how much money he made from the sales.
The SEC says the evidence against Mr. Wong is sufficient to prove that he committed securities fraud, and that there is no genuine issue for trial. It asks for a judgment against Mr. Wong, and that the judge determine appropriate disgorgement at a later date.
Wong says gains not ill-gotten
Mr. Wong, for his part, says the SEC is not entitled to any order requiring him to disgorge ill-gotten gains. In a motion for partial summary judgment filed on Feb. 25, 2011, he says that he simply sold stock that he either bought on the market or received for services. The only evidence against him, as he sees it, is that he received shares and later sold them, which proves nothing.
Mr. Wong also denies knowing about the hijackings. Between 2003 and 2007 (the time of the scheme), he performed consulting services, in which he "put different people in contact with each other," the motion reads. He then received shares in seven companies as payment for his work. "At the time Wong received stock payments ... he was unaware that the companies he received stock in had been 'hijacked' or were being 'hijacked' - as a result, Wong accepted the stock without issue," the motion states.
Moreover, he did not actually make any money on three of the companies that the SEC listed, he says. He claims that he suffered a $4,465 loss in trading those three stocks, so there are no gains that he could disgorge.
Mr. Wong contends that the SEC must do more than claim he participated in "some non-specific, grandiose scheme." He asks that the judge dismiss the claim for disgorgement against him.

SEC Target Boock Says He Confessed Under Duress
2011-02-07 14:44 ET - Street Wire
by Mike Caswell
http://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=Z-C:*SEC-1806608&symbol=*SEC&news_region=C
Irwin Boock, the Ontario man facing a civil suit in New York for hijacking the identities of 43 public companies, has asked the judge to ignore a videotaped deposition in which he admitted to the charges he faces. In an affirmation filed on Feb. 2, 2011, he says that he made the admissions while under "severe duress." His wife had been in hospital with heart problems, and he had slept very little.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission claims that Mr. Boock and others stole the identities of inactive companies and sold them as shells. The stocks produced from the scheme included a shell that became Paramount Gold and Silver Corp., a Toronto Stock Exchange listing. (The SEC did not accuse Paramount of any wrongdoing.) Mr. Boock initially ignored the case, which resulted in the judge finding him in default. Since then, Mr. Boock has been trying to have the default overturned, and has been attending pretrial matters as directed.
One of those matters was a videotaped deposition, which was conducted by SEC lawyer Justin Chretien. The interview took place in Toronto on Jan. 13, 2011, and Mr. Boock attended alone, without a lawyer. According to a transcript of the deposition, Mr. Boock agreed that he would admit to the allegations as a sign of good faith, and that nobody had promised him anything in return. The transcript includes Mr. Chretien confirming that Mr. Boock was not under duress, and nobody was coercing him.
Two weeks after the interview, the SEC filed a motion asking the judge to uphold the default order, and included a partial transcript of the interview with its request. It said any attempt to set aside the default would be moot, as Mr. Boock had admitted to the allegations.
Boock says he was under duress
In his self-filed affirmation, Mr. Boock says the judge should consider the total circumstances of the interview. He claims that his wife's heart problems affected his mental and physical state that afternoon. Two days earlier, an emergency room doctor had informed her that she had a one in seven chance of suffering a heart attack in the next few weeks. He slept very little after that, he says.
The affirmation also states that Mr. Boock was suffering the effects of medication that he was taking for heart problems of his own, which reduced his general awareness. "Quite frankly, Mr. Chretien could have had me admitting to murders in countries I had never been to if he so wanted," the document reads.
Mr. Boock further contends that he discussed a settlement with Mr. Chretien off the record, before he made any admissions. "The crux of the discussion was that in order to reach a settlement, I would expect that my wife [who is a relief defendant] would be removed from any further actions; any monetary discussions would take place down the road and Mr. Chretien stated that he would file a request with the court to stay any further actions against both myself and my wife," the affirmation reads.
Mr. Boock claims that the SEC has ignored the truth "in order to have its way." He reiterates his earlier request that the judge set aside the default, and allow him to file a proper defence to the case.
SEC's complaint
The SEC filed a civil suit against Mr. Boock and others on Sept. 29, 2009, in the Southern District of New York. The other defendants were Stanton DeFreitas, 33, of Toronto; Jason Wong, 32, of Markham; and two Houston lawyers, Roger Schoss, 64, and Nicolette Loisel, 52. The SEC also named Select American Transfer, a transfer agent run by Mr. Boock, Mr. DeFreitas and Mr. Wong. Mr. Boock's wife, Birte Boock, was a relief defendant, which means that the SEC may ask for a monetary order against her.
The suit claimed that the men ran a four-year scheme, starting in November, 2003, in which they hijacked the identities of inactive pink sheets companies. They typically sought stocks that still traded, but lacked a current transfer agent or contact person. Once they located a suitable target, they reactivated the company through the appropriate secretary of state, providing false names and addresses for contact information, the complaint stated.
In some instances, the men discovered that the secretary of state had declared a company void, the SEC said. When this happened, they incorporated a new entity with the same name and used it to assume the identity of the old company. They would then roll back the stock, change the company's name and obtain a new Cusip number, the SEC claimed.
The SEC did not state exactly how much money the defendants made in the scheme. According to the complaint, Mr. Boock received $267,625 in 2007 by selling shares of five of the hijacked companies through a Florida brokerage account. The SEC also claimed that Mr. DeFreitas sold shares of 30 hijacked stocks through offshore companies. He had his brokerage, New Jersey-based Franklin Ross, transfer $2.2-million in proceeds to a Toronto bank account.
The SEC sought appropriate civil penalties and penny stock bans.
Other defendants in the case have filed answers in which they generally deny any wrongdoing. Mr. Wong also filed a motion to dismiss the charges, in which he said that he was simply a software developer at Select American Transfer. The judge denied his motion on Jan. 29, 2010.
The judge temporarily stayed the case against the two Houston lawyers, Mr. Schoss and Ms. Loisel, while they answered criminal charges in Florida for a separate hijacking scheme. According to prosecutors, they were part of a group that hijacked 54 companies and sold shares in those companies to residents in the United Kingdom, taking over $100-million from investors. Mr. Schoss and Ms. Loisel have pleaded not guilty and await trial.
On March 13, 2008, the SEC halted 26 of the stocks that were produced in Mr. Boock's scheme, citing questions about their status as publicly traded companies. The companies have since resumed trading, and the SEC did not name any of them as defendants in its lawsuit.

No later than three weeks from the date of this Order, defendants Irwin Boock and Birte Boock are directed to clarify whether they are seeking to set aside the default entered against them, or are only seeking to challenge the damages sought by Plaintiff. Defendants are cautioned that, if they wish to appear in this proceeding pro se (in other words, to appear on their own behalf, without counsel), they must each appear separately; Mr. Boock cannot speak for, or represent, Ms. Boock before this Court, as he is not an attorney authorized to appear before the Court as counsel. Accordingly, defendants are cautioned that, if Ms. Boock does not appear on her own behalf or through an attorney, the Court will not treat her as having made an appearance. 3. If defendants wish to move to set aside the default against them, their further submissions should include specific factual showings to support their position that they have meritorious defenses to this action. Any such showing should be made through evidence inadmissible form, meaning that any statements by defendants should be presented in either sworn affidavits or declarations expressly made under penalty of perjury. Copies of any documentary evidence that defendants wish to submit to support their position should be attached as exhibits to such affidavits or declarations. Defendants should also present any other facts that may be pertinent to the question of whether the defaults against them should be set aside, including, for example, facts regarding the circumstances of their initial decisions not to defend this action. 4. If defendants simply wish to challenge plaintiffs claimed damages, then defendants should set forth the basis of any such challenge, again through affidavits or declarations madeunder penalty of perjury. If defendants seek an in-person, evidentiary hearing with respect to damages, then, as set forth in this Court's earlier Scheduling Order, they should specifically request such a hearing.

thanks....lost count...been here since around march or april of 2007 if memory serves me right...we shall see
March 3rd, 2011 10:00 AM for next prehearing conference.
Only item of any significance in reading the entire commission order from January 27th is that an attorney from PMCL had apparently indicated that they would not attend the hearing of what appears to be either the Jan 27th or March 3rd date.....sooo
....it is strange that out of all the companies involved it is only Pharm Control that apparently has had a continuation of legal representation in this whole fiasco.
For anyone keeping count.....the Jan 27th was the 13th one
best to you bud !!!
Looks that way " S ", although it now shows up on Page 4 without a date.
I quit counting as to the number of postponements, but it seems we've had about a dozen of them. As I said a few years ago, it looks like the only one that does anything at the OSC is the Re- Scheduler.
I have mentally written this puppy off a long time ago since I don't believe in the tooth fairy, although the frozen shares are still in my broker's frozen hands.......guess this is one of those, " until hell freezes over " routines.
I've seen you post on some other boards that I also have a fistful of shares in....at least some of those will make up for this one.
:)
looks like its been postponed yet again....no date has been set yet...go to the OSC Proceedings .....on the left side of that pg click on the link before the commission...go to pg 5...there it is again...
Well, keep up the good work, slob. They will have to do something someday.
well now it's 11:20 pm est....only 14 hours 40 minutes away from judgment time....as long as it doesn't....well no that can't happen...it's only been postponed....WHAT 2,3,4..... times in the past 2-3yrs...stay tuned folks!!!!
HELLO HELLO HELLO...IS THERE ANYBODY IN THERE...JUST NOD IF YOU CAN HERE ME ....IS THERE ANYONE AT ALL...........
looks like there has been another delay...until 01/27/2011...go figure!!!
TODAY IS COURT DAY...AS LONG AS IT DOESNT GET POSTPONED AGAIN!!
thanks for the update....are the hearings still set for nov 29 2010 ?
SEC Target Boock Responds to Hijacking Case
2010-11-09 14:04 ET - Street Wire
by Mike Caswell
http://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=Z-C:*SEC-1777342&symbol=*SEC&news_region=C
Irwin Boock, the Ontario man who failed to answer civil fraud charges from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for hijacking the identities of 43 public companies, has finally responded to the case. In an affirmation filed on Nov. 8, 2010, he has asked that the judge overturn a default judgment the SEC won on March 26, 2010. He says that he will defend the charges on his own, without the help of a lawyer.
The filing is the first indication that Mr. Boock, 55, intends to fight the 13-month-old case. The SEC claims that he and others hijacked inactive public companies and sold them as shells. The companies produced from the scheme included a shell that went on to become Paramount Gold and Silver Corp., a Toronto Stock Exchange listing.
In his affirmation, Mr. Boock says that he did not intentionally ignore the charges. He claims that he told the SEC one year ago that he denied any wrongdoing, but could not afford to defend himself as he was already fighting a parallel administrative proceeding launched by the Ontario Securities Commission. (The OSC matter has not yet concluded.) He did not realize at the time that he could represent himself in the SEC's case, without hiring a lawyer.
Assuming the judge grants Mr. Boock's request, he will then be able to file a formal answer to the charges, and could face a hearing in the case. The default judgment permanently banned Mr. Boock from penny stocks and ordered him to pay yet-to-be-determined financial penalties.
SEC's complaint
The case began on Sept. 29, 2009, when the SEC filed a complaint against Mr. Boock and others in the Southern District of New York. The other defendants were Stanton DeFreitas, 33, of Toronto; Jason Wong, 32, of Markham; and two Houston lawyers, Roger Schoss, 64, and Nicolette Loisel, 52. The SEC also named Select American Transfer, a transfer agent run by Mr. Boock, Mr. DeFreitas and Mr. Wong.
According to the SEC, the hijacking scheme began in November, 2003, and ran for about four years. Typically, the men sought companies that still traded, but lacked a current transfer agent or contact person. They located these companies by scanning the pink sheets website. Once they identified a suitable target, they reactivated the company through the appropriate secretary of state using false names and addresses, the SEC said.
In some instances, the men found that the secretary of state had declared a company void. In these cases, they incorporated a new entity with the same name and used it to assume the identity of the old company. They would then roll back the stock, change the company's name, and obtain a new Cusip number and trading symbol, the complaint stated.
The role of the two Houston lawyers, as described by the complaint, was to help the others obtain free-trading shares in the companies. The SEC said that Mr. Schoss and Ms. Loisel drafted bogus opinion letters authorizing the issuance of 223 million free-trading shares in 19 of the companies. The SEC claimed that Ms. Loisel also prepared fraudulent transfer agent verification forms. She received $455,000 for her services. (All figures are in U.S. dollars.)
It was not entirely clear from the complaint how much money the defendants made from the scheme. The SEC said that Mr. Boock received $267,625 in 2007 by selling shares of five of the hijacked companies through a Florida brokerage account. The complaint also stated that Mr. DeFreitas sold shares of 30 hijacked stocks through offshore companies. He directed his brokerage, New Jersey-based Franklin Ross, to transfer $2.2-million of the money to a Toronto bank account.
The SEC sought appropriate civil penalties and penny stock bans.
SEC Halt
On March 13, 2008, the SEC provided a partial list of the stocks that came from the hijacking when it halted 26 of them. At the time, it only said that there were questions about their status as publicly traded companies. Besides Paramount Gold, the stocks included World Hockey Association Corp., a Surrey-based pink sheets listing that briefly ran a hockey league.
While Mr. Boock is only now responding to the case, most of the other defendants have participated in preliminary matters. Mr. Wong, in an answer filed on Feb. 8, 2010, generally denied any wrongdoing and asked for a trial by jury. He had previously filed a motion to dismiss the case, in which he argued that he was simply a software developer at Select American Transfer. The judge denied the motion on Jan. 29, 2010.
On June 15, 2010, Ms. Loisel and Mr. Schoss obtained a temporary stay of proceedings. They are awaiting trial in a Florida criminal case for another hijacking scheme. According to prosecutors, they were part of a group that hijacked 54 companies and sold the stock to residents in the United Kingdom, taking over $100-million from investors. Mr. Schoss and Ms. Loisel have pleaded not guilty and await trial in February, 2011. The judge in the SEC case has granted them a stay while they defend the criminal matter.

Reader Comments
Most of these hijacked scam companies were taken over by Jean-Francois Amyot (Hilbory Advisory Inc.) who used John Briner to write bogus opinion letters for billions of counterfeit shares cleared through illegally run Select American Transfer Co.
Here is one example:
LCOL.PK Hijack Time Line, formerly Ensec International Inc.
LOTTA COAL, INC (LCOL.PK)
PRINCIPAL ADDRESS
10151 UNIVERSITY BLVD., STE. 120
ORLANDO FL 32817
OLD NAME WAS : ENSEC INTERNATIONAL, Inc
The Ensec to Lotta Coal (LCOL) story:
Ensec International Inc, was a Florida corporation formed in April 1996 as a holding company for Ensec Inc., a Florida corporation (1991) and Ensec Engenharia e Sistemas de Seguranca, SA., a Brazilian corporation, Ensec, S.A. (1983). They designed, sold, installed and serviced security systems for large commercial or governmental facilities, ranging from single function installations to high-end integrated security systems. Bulk of the operations were in Brazil, however, company's principal executive offices were located at Boca Raton, Florida, and its sales office was located at One World Trade Center, Suite 3357, New York.
Amid financial/patent difficulties here’s a timeline of significant events:
2/28/1998 Ensec International closed offices in Boca Raton
10/23/1998 Ensec Inc files last annual report with Florida SoS
10/28/1998 Ensec International attempts to merge with Sentech International
2/27/1999 Ensec International files last annual report with Florida SoS
Sometime between 6/30/99 and 12/31/99 Sentech terminates merger with Ensec
9/9/1999 Finkel resigns as CEO and proxies his votes to Rosa, Rosa becomes CEO
9/9/1999 A letter of intent to sell Ensec assets to American Computer Machines is reported
9/24/99 Ensec Inc is administratively dissolved by Florida SoS for annual report
11/10/1999 Ensec International files 15-12g
Circa 2/2000 Ensec International Inc is administratively dissolved by Florida SoS for annual report
Bogus mirror Ensec International corporation created (P06000032239):
3/3/2006 Jason Wong files paperwork with Florida SoS that requests the name Ensec International. It is given to Wong as the legit Ensec International was admin dissolved over 5 years earlier. David Duncan is named Director and the address for the bogus Ensec International is the infamous University Blvd, Orlando location.
6/1/2006 A press release is issued: “TORONTO, Jun 1, 2006 (Market Wire delivered by Newstex) -- Ensec International Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ENSC) announced today that it has signed a letter of intent to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Lotta Coal Inc. as well as provided details to the special shareholders meeting held in Toronto on May 30, 2006.”
6/14/2006 Jason Wong files the amendment, 1/1000 r/s and name change to Lotta Coal. Document is signed 6/8/2006 and annotated that it was by shareholder vote.
7/06/2006 R/M completed.
3/26/2007 Jason Wong resigns as registered agent.
Returns to legit Ensec International corporation (P96000028650)
5/1/2007 Elizabeth Konieczny signs a reinstatement request as registered agent. Included are 3 years back annual reports.
New Company Officers
Nicolas Matossian, Chairman, Interim CEO, Acting President
Allen Soltis, COO, Dir.
Ron Evans, CFO, Dir.
Jean-Francois Amyot, VP, Bus. Affairs
David Glassman, VP, Investor Rel.
Marc Gagnon, Other
Later Jean-Francois Amyot becomes President
The SEC eventually caught up with these criminals in October, 2009 and suspended LCOL.PK
Here are some other Jean-Francois Amyot related scams:
SOCI.PK (SUSPENDED), PGYC.PK (SUSPENDED), LVLV.PK (SUSPENDED), WHKA.PK (SUSPENDED), KNDR.PK, MGLC.PK, BIEL.PK, EGOC.PK

_______________________________________________________
You forgot to add "DYFR" Dairy Fresh Farms Inc., Snowy Owl Energy, "AURC" Aurus Corp and "NWOL" North West Oil Group to the list of hijacked Amyot scams. These fraudsters always issue fake PR's about stock dividends and buyout offers which never come true. I can't believe some naive investors are stupid enough to believe their blatant BS.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Release No. 46952 / December 6, 2002
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING
File No. 3-10960
In the Matter of
BIRTE BOOCK AND IRWIN BOOCK, Respondents
CORRECTED ORDER INSTITUTING ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS, MAKING FINDINGS, AND IMPOSING REMEDIAL SANCTIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 15(b) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
I. The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it appropriate and in the public interest that public administrative proceedings be, and hereby are, instituted pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") against Birte Boock and Irwin Boock ("Respondents" or the "Boocks").
II. In anticipation of the institution of these proceedings, Respondents have submitted Offers of Settlement (the "Offers") which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of these proceedings and any other proceedings brought by or on behalf of the Commission, or to which the Commission is a party, and without admitting or denying the findings herein, except as to the Commission's jurisdiction over them and the subject matter of these proceedings, and the findings contained in Section III.4 below, which are admitted, Respondents consent to the entry of this Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Order"), as set forth below.
III. On the basis of this Order and Respondents' Offers, the Commission finds that:
1. During 1998 and 1999, Leah Industries, Inc. ("Leah") was a Colorado corporation with its principal executive offices in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Leah was purportedly engaged in the business of manufacturing windows and doors, and also purportedly acquired a subsidiary that was engaged in the oil and gas business. Leah's stock was quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. Leah's stock was a penny stock within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51) of the Exchange Act and Rule 3a51-1 thereunder.
2. Birte Boock, age 56, resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. During 1998 and 1999, Birte Boock was Leah's Chief Executive Officer. Birte Boock participated in a penny stock offering.
3. Irwin Boock, age 49, resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Irwin Boock is married to Birte Boock. Irwin Boock did not hold any official title at Leah. Irwin Boock, however, acted as a de facto control person of Leah. Irwin Boock participated in a penny stock offering.
4. On November 22, 2002, in Securities and Exchange Commission v. Leah Industries, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 00-B-1921 (PAC) (D. Colo.), the United States District Court for the District of Colorado entered final judgments permanently enjoining Birte Boock and Irwin Boock from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder (collectively, the "antifraud provisions").
5. The Commission's complaint alleged that during 1998 and 1999, Leah and the Boocks violated the antifraud provisions by making material misrepresentations concerning Leah's purported relationship with two Big Five accounting firms. Specifically, on August 20, 1998, Birte Boock represented during an investor conference call that Leah had retained Coopers & Lybrand, now PricewaterhouseCoopers, to serve as its auditor. This statement was false. Coopers & Lybrand never agreed to serve as Leah's auditor. On December 10, 1998, Leah, at the direction of the Boocks, issued a press release that represented that Leah had retained Deloitte & Touche as its auditor. Further, on December 23, 1998, Leah issued a press release announcing earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of $28.5 million before special charges of $27 million, and representing that Deloitte & Touche concurred with Leah's decision to incur the special charges and to report the most conservative financial picture possible. These representations were false. Deloitte & Touche never agreed to serve as Leah's auditor, and it never concurred with Leah's financial reporting decisions. During the period that Leah was disseminating false information, Irwin Boock sold a significant amount of Leah stock.
IV. In view of the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate and in the public interest to impose the sanctions specified in Respondents' Offers.
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
Pursuant to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, that Respondent Birte Boock be, and hereby is, barred from participating in any offering of a penny stock, including: acting as a promoter, finder, consultant, agent or other person who engages in activities with a broker, dealer or issuer for purposes of the issuance or trading in any penny stock, or inducing or attempting to induce the purchase or sale of any penny stock.
Pursuant to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, that Respondent Irwin Boock be, and hereby is, barred from participating in any offering of a penny stock, including: acting as a promoter, finder, consultant, agent or other person who engages in activities with a broker, dealer or issuer for purposes of the issuance or trading in any penny stock, or inducing or attempting to induce the purchase or sale of any penny stock.
For the Commission, by its Secretary, pursuant to delegated authority.

SEC v DeFreitas (August 10, 2010)
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Release No. 62677/August 10, 2010
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING
File No. 3-13923
In the Matter of STANTON B.J. DEFREITAS
ORDER MAKING FINDINGS AND IMPOSING SANCTION BY DEFAULT
The Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) issued its Order Instituting Proceedings (OIP) on June 4, 2010, pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). The Commission delivered the OIP to an agent for Respondent Stanton B.J. DeFreitas (DeFreitas) on June 15, 2010. The time for filing an Answer expired and no Answer was received.
I required DeFreitas to show cause why he should not be held in default and why he should not be barred from association with any broker or dealer. The time for replying to the Order to Show Cause has expired, and no reply has been received. Accordingly, DeFreitas is in default. See Rules 155(a) and 220(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice. As authorized by Rule of Practice 155(a), the following allegations of the OIP are deemed to be true.
DeFreitas, age thirty-four, is a dual citizen of Canada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines and resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. For a portion of the time in which he engaged in the conduct underlying the complaint described below, DeFreitas was also an associated person of a broker-dealer registered with the Commission.
On March 26, 2010, a default judgment was entered against DeFreitas, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), future violations Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and participating directly or indirectly in the offering of penny stock pursuant to Section 20(g) of the Securities Act and Section 21(d)(6) of the Exchange Act. SEC v. Boock, No. 09-CV-8261 (S.D.N.Y.).
The Commission's complaint alleged that for a period of years through mid-2007, DeFreitas, along with other named defendants, hijacked defunct publicly-traded corporations or their identities, for use by private corporations passing themselves off as the defunct publicly-traded corporations, and offered and sold securities of the hijacked or hijacking entities in violation of the antifraud and registration requirements of the federal securities laws.
In light of the foregoing, it is necessary and appropriate in the public interest and for the protection of investors to bar DeFreitas from association with any broker or dealer.
IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Stanton B.J. DeFreitas is barred from association with any broker or dealer.

III.
In view of the allegations made by the Division of Enforcement, the Commission deems it necessary and appropriate in the public interest that public administrative proceedings be instituted to determine:
A. Whether the allegations set forth in Section II are true and, in connection therewith, to afford Respondent an opportunity to establish any defenses to such allegations;
B. What, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest against Respondent pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Exchange Act.
IV.
IT IS ORDERED that a public hearing for the purpose of taking evidence on the questions set forth in Section III hereof shall be convened at a time and place to be fixed, and before an Administrative Law Judge to be designated by further order as provided by Rule 110 of the Commission's Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.110.

In the absence of an appropriate waiver, no officer or employee of the Commission engaged in the performance of investigative or prosecuting functions in this or any factually related proceeding will be permitted to participate or advise in the decision of this matter, except as witness or counsel in proceedings held pursuant to notice. Since this proceeding is not “rule making” within the meaning of Section 551 of the Administrative Procedure Act, it is not deemed subject to the provisions of Section 553 delaying the effective date of any final Commission action.
For the Commission, by its Secretary, pursuant to delegated authority.

No New Developments
Boock lost his case for failing to reply to the court's charges.
DeFreitas, Wong, Shoss and Loisel have "lawyered up" in order to face the SEC charges in court and/or seek a settlement.
The SEC always seems to make settlements with the crooks. They probably already spent the stolen money. Now, it's just a matter of paying a fine and being permanently banned from publicly-traded companies.
Stay tuned.
If you want justice, do-it-yourself.
SEC Wins Ban By Default Against Boock
April 6, 2010 - Street Wire
by Mike Caswell
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has won a penny stock ban and yet-to-be-determined financial penalties against Irwin Boock, the Ontario man who is facing civil fraud charges for hijacking the identities of 43 public companies. The decision is a victory by default, as Mr. Boock, 55, failed to answer the charges.
The order also includes one of Mr. Boock's co-defendants, Stanton DeFreitas, 33, of Toronto. The SEC said Mr. DeFreitas transferred $2.2-million in proceeds from the scheme to a bank in Toronto. (All figures are in U.S. dollars.) As with Mr. Boock, he failed to answer the case, and is facing a penny stock ban and financial penalties that the judge will determine.
SEC's complaint
On Sept. 29, 2009, the SEC filed a civil fraud complaint against Mr. Boock, Mr. DeFreitas and others in the Southern District of New York. The regulator said the men ran a four-year scheme in which they hijacked the identities of inactive public companies, and then sold them as shells. In addition to Mr. Boock, the defendants were Jason Wong, 32, of Markham, Ont., and two Houston lawyers, Roger L. Shoss, 64, and Nicolette D. Loisel, 52. Also named was Select American Transfer, a transfer agency that Mr. Boock, Mr. DeFrietas and Mr. Wong ran.
The scheme, which began in November, 2003, targeted inactive companies that still traded, but lacked a current transfer agent or contact person. The SEC said Mr. Boock or one of the others scanned the pink sheets website, searching for companies that met their criteria. Once they identified a target, they contacted the appropriate secretary of state, and reactivated the company using false names and addresses.
In some instances, they found that the secretary of state had declared the company void. In these cases, they incorporated a new company with the same name, and used that new entity to assume the identity of the old one, the complaint stated. The new company would then roll back at a fairly high ratio, typically 1:1,000, and would change its name and obtain a new Cusip number and trading symbol, the SEC claimed.
The next step in the scheme, as described by the SEC, was to obtain free-trading shares in the companies. To accomplish this, the men hired the two Houston lawyers, Mr. Shoss and Ms. Loisel, to draft bogus opinion letters. The letters purported to rely on a Rule 504 exemption, which is normally only available to accredited investors who do not plan to sell the stock. Using these letters, the men obtained 223 million free-trading shares in 19 of the companies, the SEC said. According to the complaint, Ms. Loisel also prepared fraudulent transfer agent verification forms. She received $455,000 for her services.
The complaint did not state exactly how much money all of the defendants made. With Mr. Boock, the SEC said he received $267,625 in 2007 by selling shares of five of the hijacked companies through a Florida brokerage account. With Mr. DeFreitas, the SEC said he held shares of 30 of the hijacked stocks through offshore companies. He sold those shares through New Jersey brokerage Franklin Ross, and directed the brokerage to transfer $2.2-million of the proceeds to a Toronto bank account.
The SEC sought appropriate civil penalties and disgorgement orders, as well as penny stock bans.
SEC halt
The SEC halted 26 of the stocks that Mr. Boock and the others hijacked on March 13, 2008, citing questions about their status as publicly traded companies. The regulator released little other information until it filed the lawsuit 18 months later.
The companies produced from the hijacked shells included Paramount Gold and Silver Corp., a Toronto Stock Exchange company. Another was World Hockey Association Corp., the Surrey-based pink sheets listing that ran a junior hockey league. The others were: Advanced Growing Systems Inc., PCC Group Inc., AEI Transportation Holdings, Alcar Chemicals Group Inc., Asia Telecom Ltd., Bicoastal Communications Inc., China ADnet Enterprises Inc., Innolife Pharma Inc., International Energy Ltd., KSW Industries Inc., LeaseSmart Inc., Level Vision Electronics Ltd., Lotta Energy Acquisition Corp., Magellan Energy Ltd., Marinas International Inc., Microlink Solutions Inc., NutriOne Corp., Packaged Home Solutions, Natural Medicines Ltd., United Environmental Energy Corp., VShield Software Corp., Aerofoam Metals Inc., Andros Island Development Corp., Asante Networks Inc., Brekford Communications Inc., Cavico Corp., Complete Care Medical Inc., El Alacran Gold Mining Corp., Extreme Fitness Inc., Gaming Transactions Inc., Interage Ltd., Life Exchange Inc., Motion Picture Group, Mvive Inc., Reality Racing Inc., Regal Technologies Inc., Remington Ventures Inc., Straight Up Brands Inc., UDS Group Inc., Uptrend Corp. and WW Energy Inc.
Other defendants
Unlike Mr. Boock and Mr. DeFreitas, two of the other defendants have responded to the case. Mr. Wong unsuccessfully sought to have the charges dismissed on the grounds that he was simply a software developer at Select American Transfer. The SEC argued that he had a far greater role, which included submitting false documents to the Cusip Bureau in Manhattan. The judge agreed that there were sufficient grounds to see the case against him through to trial. Ms. Loisel is also trying to have the charges dropped. The others have yet to respond to the suit.
For Mr. Boock, the hijacking case is not the first regulatory action he has faced. In September, 2000, the SEC sued him for falsely claiming that Pricewaterhouse Coopers had audited a company's financial results. He settled that case in November, 2002, agreeing to pay $429,619 in disgorgement and penalties. He did not admit to any wrongdoing.

SEC Target Wong Loses Motion to Dismiss
2010-02-10 14:34 ET - Street Wire
by Mike Caswell
Jason Wong, the Ontario man facing civil charges for helping to hijack the identities of several public companies, has lost his motion to have the case dismissed on jurisdictional grounds. At a Jan. 29, 2010, appearance before Judge Denise Cote, lawyers for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission successfully argued that the New York courts have jurisdiction over Mr. Wong. Judge Cote rejected Mr. Wong's argument that there was no evidence that any U.S. investors were harmed.
With the decision, Mr. Wong, 32, will either have to negotiate a settlement or see the case through to trial. The SEC claims that he and four others filed false paperwork that allowed to them to take control of 43 inactive public companies, which they then sold as shells. One of those shells became Toronto Stock Exchange listing Paramount Gold and Silver Corp., and another became Ricky Smith's former pink sheets company, World Hockey Association Corp.
Wong's motion to dismiss
On Oct. 26, 2009, Mr. Wong filed a motion to dismiss the charges, claiming that the New York federal court did not have jurisdiction over him, as all of the companies that he and the others allegedly hijacked were incorporated in states other than New York. He also claimed that there was no evidence that any U.S. residents held shares in the companies or were harmed by his actions.
He described his role in the scheme as a minor one. He said he was just a computer programmer at Select American Transfer Company (a transfer agent that the SEC claimed was central to the scheme). "My involvement ... consisted entirely of building a software system to process securities transfers. I did not ... participate in any other corporate activities for any of its clients at any time," he argued.
Mr. Wong explained that his name appeared as an officer or director of several of the shell companies named in the SEC's complaint by mistake. He said he reached that conclusion in 2006, long before the SEC's lawsuit, after he received a call from somebody who asked him if he was an officer or director of one of the hijacked companies, LeaseSmart Inc. He told the caller that he did not have any roles with that company. "Because of that phone call, I concluded that my name was being misused by someone or that someone with my same name was out there," he said. Mr. Wong claimed that he subsequently received phone calls from shareholders of companies that he knew nothing about.
SEC's response
The SEC filed a reply to Mr. Wong's motion on Nov. 10, 2009. In it, the regulator said that Mr. Wong had a far greater role that a simple computer programmer at Select American Transfer. He organized and operated the transfer agency, which was incorporated in Delaware and was registered with the SEC, the reply stated.
The reply described how Mr. Wong and the others used Select American Transfer to operate a "complex, secretive, interconnected international securities fraud ring" for at least four years. They found defunct publicly traded companies and stole their identities by making misrepresentations to government agencies and regulators, and illegally issuing new shares in unregistered offerings.
Among other things, Mr. Wong submitted false documents to the Cusip Bureau, located in Manhattan, and he submitted false transfer agent verification forms to the Nasdaq, the SEC claimed. These New York contacts are more than sufficient to support the court's jurisdiction over Mr. Wong, the reply stated.
The reply also listed Mr. Wong's actions in support of the scheme. Among other things, he and the others used aliases as well as false mailbox addresses and telephone numbers to hide their roles in hijacking the companies. These actions, combined with the misrepresentations to the Cusip Bureau and to the Nasdaq, are a "badge of fraud," the reply stated.
The SEC also responded to Mr. Wong's argument that the lawsuit mostly detailed the actions of others, and simply lumped him in with them in a "group pleading." The SEC said this is simply untrue, as the complaint identified at least 22 companies that Mr. Wong and the others hijacked together, complete with a time frame. The complaint also identified him as the recipient and seller of billions of unregistered shares illegally offered by the hijacked companies.
The SEC acknowledged that there are places in the complaint where it does not specify who did what, but this is not surprising, given that the men actively attempted to conceal their roles in the scheme. "Wong cannot now benefit from the concealment and confusion that he caused and created, particularly with respect to information that is within his knowledge and control," the reply read.
SEC's complaint
The SEC filed a complaint against Mr. Wong and four others on Sept. 29, 2009, in the Southern District of New York. The other defendants were Irwin Boock, 52, of Toronto; Stanton B.J. DeFreitas, 33, also of Toronto; Roger L. Shoss, 64, of Houston; and Nicolette D. Loisel, 52, also of Houston. In its complaint, the SEC claimed that Mr. Wong and Mr. Boock filed the paperwork to hijack the shells, while Mr. Shoss and Ms. Loisel, both lawyers, prepared bogus opinion letters that allowed the men to acquire free-trading shares in those companies.
The scheme, as described by the SEC, ran from November, 2003, through June, 2007. During that time, Mr. Wong and Mr. Boock identified suitable hijacking candidates by scanning the pink sheets website for inactive companies that were still quoted, but did not have current contact information or a transfer agent. Once they identified a suitable target, they paid the fees to bring the company up to date in its state of incorporation and represented that they were authorized to revive it, the SEC said. If the company's registration had lapsed, they would incorporate a new company with the same name, and that company would assume the identity of the defunct one.
The two Houston lawyers, Mr. Shoss and Ms. Loisel, then prepared opinion letters authorizing the issuance of hundreds of millions of free-trading shares in the companies, the complaint stated. The letters relied on Rule 504 exemptions, which are normally only available to accredited investors who do not plan to sell the stock. Once the men controlled a company's shares and its corporate identity, they then sold the stock as a shell.
The SEC sought appropriate civil penalties, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains and penny stock bans. It also sought officer and director bans against Mr. Boock and Mr. Wong.
Mr. Wong is the only one of the defendants to have answered the suit. The judge has not yet set a trial date.
