FBI is activly prepairing their case against Turek for March. If anyone has lost a large amount and exchanged emails or had conversations with Turek the FBI would like to talk to you. Send me a PM with your email and I will hook you up with them!
New posts on this iHub PLNIQ forum are regarding the US legal case against PLNIQ and its principals.
The case against Turek and PLNIQ is ongoing and I believe that people involved have ties to other current stock scams.

So that the Court can understand the magnitude of the work required of counsel and the accounting firm, the Court should be aware that this case involves complex business dealings over a lengthy period of time. Thousands of documents (including numerous file cabinets removed from Mr. Turek’s office) are being stored by the government. Defendant was aware of this fact at the time the current trial date was established, but counsel was unaware that her client also was in possession of numerous boxes of documents himself. To date, Mr. Turek has brought twenty-nine (29) bankers boxes of documents to counsel, and he continues to search for more that could be relevant. Counsel has reviewed almost all of these documents at least once, and most of them twice, but each review leads to additional questions and adds to the complexity of the case.
In addition, Mr. Turek has filed bankruptcy personally, and the related companies have filed for bankruptcy protection as well. These bankruptcy proceedings are inextricably intertwined with the SEC issues charged in the Indictment. There was also federal court litigation relating to the patents and their value (an issue in the Indictment) and a corresponding civil suit by the SEC against Mr. Turek which was resolved. The legal and factual issues are complex, interrelated with the other court proceedings and document-intensive. Counsel has reviewed volumes of documents relating to court proceedings and must review volumes more. She has spoken with several of the attorneys and accountants involved in these proceedings and is still in the process of tracking down others. These attorneys and accountants have sometimes proved helpful and knowledgeable; at other times, their files have been inaccessible and their memories faulty. Further, it is often difficult to obtain time-consuming cooperation from professionals who work by the hour with an expectation that they will be paid.

Never mind I found it...:)
The report also was critical of the SEC employees' union, saying its seniority rules could hamper how people are transferred to new roles. “In some cases, this could mean that the least experienced employees get reassigned to the most criti...cal work, as defined by Congress, rather than assigning the ideal person for the job,” the report said.

Did you post an article somewhere that had in it where the SEC was not able to put the right people on the job because of seniority? Union! I read it in the last few days and have been looking for it ever since. Thanks
Plasticon filed for bankruptcy May 16, 2007, less than 18 months after it acquired injection molder and thermoformer Pro-Mold Inc. of St. Louis. The SEC suspended trading in the stock four months later and revoked the company’s securities registration two months after that.

scion, NOW reading that just sounds downright nasty! What a total Scam sleeze ball he was. Way worse than people could have ever imagined. It appears he knew all along he was Scamming the Investors... Pre-meditated and I am sure he collected way more money selling paper that they have in the indictment!
I see in the Indictment he is now 65? I guess he will have a hard time collecting that social security payments! LOLOL
Former Plasticon CEO James Turek indicted on fraud charges
By Mike Verespej | PLASTICS NEWS STAFF
Posted March 9, 2011
http://plasticsnews.com/headlines2.html?id=21371
LEXINGTON, KY. (March 9, 11:45 a.m. ET) -- A federal grand jury in Kentucky has indicted James Norman Turek, the former owner, president and CEO of now-defunct recycled plastics products manufacturer Plasticon International Inc., on charges of securities fraud and filing false income tax returns.
The 13-count indictment, issued March 3 by the U.S. District Court in Lexington comes less than 2½ years after the Securities and Exchange Commission filed charges against Turek in the same court, accusing him of misappropriating company funds for personal use.
The grand jury indictment said that Turek, now 65, engaged in a securities fraud scheme from 2004-06 by issuing more than 5 billion shares of Plasticon stock to himself and backdating promissory notes that claimed he had donated millions to the company.
It further accused him of filing false tax returns from 2003-07, and with releasing false and misleading information about the company as well as about its profitability, to create demand for Plasticon stock.
The eight charges of securities fraud carry a maximum fine of $5 million and 20 years in prison, while the charges of filing false income tax returns carry a maximum fine of $250,000, three years in prison and one year of supervised release.
Turek is scheduled to appear in court March 25.
In 2008 the SEC charged that Turek had taken, for personal use, at least $2.8 million of the $8.2 million to $11.2 million in funds that Plasticon had raised from at least 30 investors — capital the Lexington-based firm said would be used to buy equipment and acquire other companies.
Those funds were raised in an unregistered, multistate securities offering between January 2005 and April 2007, according to the SEC. The commission also had charged Turek and Plasticon with making false and misleading press releases relating to the firm’s financial condition, its ownership of patents, the value of those patents, and the number of Plasticon’s outstanding shares.
Those charges were settled Feb. 11 when Turek, without admitting or denying the allegations, agreed to a judgment by the court that found him liable for disgorgement of $2.6 million plus prejudgment interest in the amount of $557,836.41. However, the court waived payment of that total amount and did not order Turek to pay a civil penalty, based on a statement of financial condition Turek filed with the court.
That court judgment also bars Turek from acting as an officer or director of a public company for five years, and bars him from participating in any offering of penny stock.
The grand jury indictment said that Turek — as director of the Plasticon board — issued himself more than 5 billion shares of Plasticon stock between March 15, 2004, and Sept. 16, 2006, as repayment of false and backdated promissory notes.
The promissory notes — purported to be dated from 1989-2002 — falsely claimed that Plasticon owed Turek more than $5 million as a result of loans he had made to the company, according to the indictment. But the amount of money, if any, that Turek had loaned to Plasticon was substantially less than the amounts claimed on the notes, the indictment said.
According to the indictment, Turek was president and CEO and sole director of Plasticon from 1994- 2007, giving him complete control over the firm’s affairs until October 2007, when a bankruptcy court-appointed trustee took control. The indictment also charged that Turek — to circumvent SEC rules governing the sale of stock by a control person — had given Plasticon stock that he received because of false and backdated promissory notes to others, including his children and elderly aunt.
“But, in fact, he maintained control over the stock even though his name no longer appeared on the stock certificates,” the indictment said. “For example, he continued to engage in stock transactions in the name of his elderly aunt even after she had died.”
The indictment also said Turek entered into agreements to sell his stock to investor companies, and specified that payments for that stock be transferred to his private company, LexReal Co. LLC. He also allegedly ‘loaned’ some proceeds back to Plasticon with interest, and gave some of the proceeds to one or both of his sons.
In addition, “to create demand for Plasticon stock by the investing public, James Normam Turek caused Plasticon to issue press releases that contained false and misleading statements about, among other things, Plasticon’s profitability,” said the indictment. “On or about June 17, 2005, he caused Plasticon to issue a press release that falsely stated: “Plasticon International is profitable as of the second quarter of 2005,” it said.
But SEC filings for that quarter — filed nearly a year late on July 27, 2006 — showed net loss of $3 million on sales of $135,244.
Another Plasticon press release, on or about Oct. 4, 2005, falsely stated that Plasticon had “demonstrated profitability.” But actual reports the firm filed with SEC said it lost more than $5 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2005.
Plasticon did not even have a bank account until February 2006, and SEC reports show the firm had no revenue in 2003 and 2004, and revenue of just $65,565 in 2005, according to the indictment.
It also said Turek issued false and misleading information about patent ownership and the value of patents. For example, the company issued press releases between May 2005 and September 2006 that claimed it held four patents, with a combined value of between $16 million and $20 million. But the indictment said Plasticon did not own the patents, some of which had already expired.
Plasticon filed for bankruptcy May 16, 2007, less than 18 months after it acquired injection molder and thermoformer Pro-Mold Inc. of St. Louis. The SEC suspended trading in the stock four months later and revoked the company’s securities registration two months after that.

Health comes with habit! Who knows maybe jail will make him healthy? Work out and lose some lard? He will certainly have the spare time on his hands and unless people who feel sorry for him send him some cakes or pies to tide him over I would imagine his food consumption will go down!
Yes. The SEC has no prosecutorial power. It has no weapons to combat the criminals. They need the power to prosecute once illegalities are discovered.
Nobody gets charged and the fines are a mere fraction of the money made from illegal activities. Put people in jail for a good time and it will stop. This lack of SEC strength and overall corruption of the markets could bring down the whole U.S. financial system since people don't trust any investment today whether its a single equity, mutual fund or even a government bond. People think putting their money in the bank (FDIC insured) is risky nowadays since the governent is in the biggest financial problem of anyone.
Sloth
The SEC was founded to protect the investing public. It has failed. It needs drastic overhaul or replacement.
I'm looking on the bright side. One thing I admire about the USA is that once they see a problem and make up their mind what to do about it - they usually succeed. Problem is they usually take so damn long about it.
All the millions of people out there who were scammed by all these companies should of known better. They should have known the financials and press releases were forgeries. LOL
Our financial system is a failure and has been and still is scamming people. The reality so far is just the tip of the iceberg. Most people were trusting that our financial system had rules and regulations that bound companies to a legal standard of conduct. That has changed over the last 5 years. People consider Wall Street are corrupt as organized crime. It actually is worse since hardly anyone gets prison time and the system hides unders a misconception that it's fair. We, as Americans, should be confident that our financial system is fair. I don't know how they're going to get that confidence back but it's going to takes at least a decade to do it. We are back to "stuff you money in the mattress" days. That's if you even have any money to stuff.
This is another tragedy of our failed financial system but hardly the last.
No company can be trusted today.
Sloth
JT was never a healthy guy - count our blessings! If he gets 20 years in the slammer - not iHub's (!!) - he will likely die there.
So much for retribution.
Ha ha.
Don't get my dander up!
I am glad to see the ahole has been indicted! The 20 years can't come soon enough! He had many fooled but well done to those who saw through all the BS.
Why are you sorry for me - I lost NOTHING!
You?
Nothing but your 'valuable' time knocking it for years.
The pinks along with the OTC:BB, NASDAQ and the greys should be turned over to a national lottery corporation (NLC) and run as such. The odds would improve enormously - what do they pay out - 10%? An improvement vs losing 100%.
And the SEC?
Get them all jobs as clerical thumb twiddlers in the NLC. At least we would expect nothing else and they are experienced!!!!
Class action or bro bono - both are no brainers.
Good advice, especially if the costs are shared.
Broke even at a $1 a share or $0 a share.
I tried my damnedest to pump it to $1 but failed.
There are plenty others to pump - worthy or otherwise.
May you live long and prosper....in spite of the SEC!
Uhh, the SEC is charged with regulating the stock market, not managing investor stupidity. Or keeping greedy, gullible fools from buying AAND HOLDING a penny scam! Please go to their website to see the warnings about scams, scam stocks and scammers.
And yes. The FDA has responsibility for Over-Fertilizer Pollution/Runoff. Why didn't they stop me? They, and you of course, owe me a new lawn. And those Yews will certainly help my frustration with this difficult situation.
PS I am beginning to think this might have been a Government Sting to catch Short polluters. If so, there must be a Hugh Trust Fund for those of us who innocently over-fertilized our lawns. Mayber $3.87T? That would be fair. I could be a Billionaire if they quit keeping the Trustee from paying out my payout! I keep watching the street in front of my house for that DHL Truck...
I'm no lawn expert but if the US government was charged with PREVENTING your lawn from burning and failed in that responsibility you have a case.
Otherwise you are being silly and a wise ass which is your right.
Good luck with your lawn - after all, lawns are very important.
Hey, Nano. What about my burned out lawn? When will you and the others lucky enough to have a good lawns compensate me for my lawn? (I'm thinking a few Yews as a sweetner, of course)
Not my fault that the lawn burned out. Nobody stopped me! Plus it must be an entitlement. Am I not deserving of that Hopey Changey Thingie, also??
Plasticon victims
Get a lawyer to recoup your losses.
If the lawyer says you can't sue the crown, state, SEC - get another lawyer.
Here's one:
