'Rudy' Stock Fraud Charges Settled for $4.5M
By MIKE HEUER
LAS VEGAS (CN) - For his role in a "pump-and-dump" scheme involving former Notre Dame football player Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, a stock promoter will pay $4.4 million.
U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey ordered Pawel Dynkowski on Wednesday to disgorge more than $2 million in profits obtained from the stock fraud, plus that amount in penalties, and more than $467,000 in interest, as requested by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
SEC officials say the stock scheme arose from the sale of shares in Rudy Nutrition, a now-closed sports-drink company that traded under the RUDN symbol.
Federal investigators say Ruettiger, Dynkowski and others bilked investors of $11 million when they made false statements in their promotional materials, news releases and SEC filings, to boost share prices so they could sell them at a profit. Among falsehoods used to boost stock prices was a claim that the Rudy sports drink beat Gatorade by a 2-to-1 margin in taste tests, the SEC alleged.
The fraudsters succeeded in inflating Rudy Nutrition's stock price from 25 cents to $1.05 and increasing demand over about a month before they sold their shares, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Ruettiger settled with the SEC for $382,866, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Portrayed as an undersized and overachieving member of the Notre Dame football team, the 1993 film "Rudy" made Ruettiger an icon.
Dynkowski is a stock promoter from Poland.
Joe shoot me a email (wubbie32@aol.com) and I will fill you in more. Thanks for the tip. I will check it out.
Gonna do it first chance and I'll pass it around to my group to take a look. Thank you.
Please though take a look at TIT:UF that's on the grey sheets for this Canadian stock. Years in the making and popping like crazy. A new patented process for recovering minerals etc. from the tailings of the Canadian oil sands project. Win for the oil companies, win for the environmentalist's and win for the stockholders. A feel good stock.
There's a board here for this stock....
Check out TBEV. I am deep on this one. If they get funding they have unlimited distributions channels.
TIT:UF, TIC:V - ,,,, if you want to make up for some of our prior losses. ( depending upon when you read this message .) A winner reco. from our crazy Canadian friend from the past.
Oh well the checks are out. For the restricted " buy period " I received approx. 1/3 rd. of what I lost ( had stolen ) from me during that period of buys.
Hope at minimum some made out better % wise but I doubt it. 2/3 rds. of money recovered for the administration of the program and 1/3 rd. to the victims. ( discovered money that is ). And I don't doubt a whole lot more missed but that would take extra work to find.
BTW - Looks like a few are just starting to play with GBVS again. Start'n to get old 'eh ?
Gayla,,,, Actually I spoke with her a number of times ( probably more than she wished ) and e-mails etc. etc.. Her and her vic/wit crew are top notch. Very special kudo's to her though for a number of reasons. Do plan to let her superiors know all the way to the very top.
Rumor has it ole " Lucky " isn't doing as well as he once did. New house gone, some investments gone and a perhaps even a little downturn in demand for his speaking engagements not to mention stellar rep. wounded :o(
But hey, who knows what tomorrow brings ?
Opppp's almost forgot. Maybe he's back on top from sales of his last fiction read.
No worries about updates. I too am keeping those who are eligible informed.
Sorry buddy: I thought you had a little shot at getting at minimum a few piasters back. That's why I kept bugging you with the notifications. I do have a group that are " in " and I try to keep them informed as well. Don't know them except by E- but don't want them missing out on anything they're entitled to.
Someday maybe I'll be able to " look away " also. Never forget, but look away.
Best always and only wish we could have tipped a " barley pop " together in Vegas at a Rudy investor reunion as our " story stock " soared.
**** keep an eye on MTG *** if your still playing.
I heard they shrunk the time span for qualifying. Oddly I think Gayle was called like 5 minutes after you did one day. She mentioned speaking to somebody who was a little "Hot" she was asked, "was his name Joe?", she said, "Ya, I think it was"
Ring a bell? a few months back...
Just tryin to keep tabs for the lucky few that are still eligible.
I am not, I was too smart for my own good. Got in way after the period of Lucky's clover pickin shenanigan lads dirty deeds. .44 to .18 was a pretty good beating but nothing like the guys who took took it deep.
Just poppin for in for quick peek about.
as the ole dixie song says, "Old times they are not forgotten; Look away, look away... and then something about Sherman.
Ha. Glad I am outta there now.
And now somebody's playing with GBVS AGAIN..............
Acknowledgement letters listing qualifying losses from the administrator of the GBVS restitution program were received by many last week.
Naturally the acknowledged amount of an individuals losses will not equal the actual amount returned.
If your in the program and didn't receive any such notification to date I'd make some inquires.
BOL ..................
Just so everyone is aware.................
You may have received notice from the Govt.'s victim information site that James Reskin was sentenced to 5 yrs. incarceration and 5 yrs. Federal supervision. This is not correct. James Reskin did not receive incarceration. An error somehow occurred when transcripts where sent from the court to the various bureau's. The V/W assistance bureau received this info. as stated above and is at present aware of the error.
While I'm at it. I think I mentioned that Chad Smanjak from the Fairplay Int. deal was previously sentenced. That apparently is in error. I believe he was mixed up for somebody else. MY BAD, I believe he is to be sentenced in late June and as I previously mentioned " pursuant to his plea agreement he will be required to pay FULL restitution to more than 250 victims.
Who knows who the govt. will consider to be victims on this one and how about the victims before the Fairplay announcement who got suckered in on ALL those proven fake announcements before Fairplay.
Where will all those disgorgement dollars go from the SEC compromise ?
OH ! BTW sorry about your bro' SHORT. I know it's hard when someone sees a family member go to prison. Wish he would have used his obvious talents in a more legitimate way. Guess the thought's of a " score " is just to tempting for some people to ignore.
Tragically funny that he and some of his associates are now victims in their own right. Victims of their own greed and lack of moral decency that caused their own demise. Smart people too. Damn shame for all involved. Guess it's hard to have too much compassion though 'eh ? After all there were 10's of thousands of innocent victims 'cuz of them.
I know you'll read this, you and others. So again sorry for your and your family's pain. And as they say in Turkey " may his time pass quickly ".
OK boys and girls here's the skinny......
Josh Lankford got whacked with a 7 year sentence in federal prison.
Sadly James Reskin got probation and community service.
Only one more out there to go before the judge if they ever find him.
Looks like a few who started it all basically skated and a few with " like history " in this type of crap got a " criminal " pass also.
Sad this type of crap couldn't be prosecuted on a state level. Only a few would have walked rather than the other way around. There's a big flaw in our system and that is why this shit continues. Investors be damned, we should have known better. What a joke.
UPDATE: Reskin, Lankford court date now changed to May 16th.
UPDATE: Received info. today that Reskin and Lankfords sentencing has been rescheduled for May 20th.
This is closing in on a dozen reschedules for Reskin. Maybe the court's hoping he dies of old age so they can save a few piasters on the hearing due to the sequester ?
FYI - The actual sentencing date for Reskin and Lankford was changed from the 26th. 'till this Thursday the 28th. Lankford around 10:00am and Reskin at 1:30.
Don't know how much success the SEC will have in collecting the now 90 million dollar judgement they have against him. Might as well have made the final figure the same as our national debt. Just hope there's something recoverable that the Judge could mandate for victim restitution ?
Matt: Knowing you as I think I do now I'd be honored to be presented with any idea's your entertaining. Please feel free to send me a E- anytime. Glad to see your still among the living and monitoring.
FYI - My temporary romance's brother ?, and the former Attorney get sentenced on the 26th. in Tulsa. Smanjak from the RUDN/RUNU acts I believe is in assignment and processing for his federally funded vactation. I think it's 31 months or something of that nature.
A BETTER FYI --- Our old friend " B " gave me a tip in Dec. on MTG. He's in large under a buck. I passed it on to B/R and we both got in under three. It rocketed up to $ 6.25 and now is in a little pull-back mode. Common feeling is it's a good buy under $ 5 . Should you be interested, and with some " colo class " d&d I think you will be, then it may be a decent one for you. Love to get your thoughts on it if your so inclined.
Again,,, great to hear from you.
And yes I do agree with your assessment on my fleeting relationship that I so hoped would grow :o( .....
Well of course somebody reached out and told her to zip it.
That leak couldn't run for too long without attracting attention and fear that the flow was going to be eroding some defenses.
Hows it goin Joe?
I took all the possibilities to heart on this one and worked on a lil biz that puts health and people first. Something this should have been about, as we both know.
Give me a few weeks to smooth out the rough edges and I'll shot you e with a site and a question.
How do you feel about scholarships and Youth Team sports sponsorships? All with health in mind?
Hey SHORT: Damn girl where'd 'ya go ??? And just when I thought we were bonding. Now be honest. Did somebody tell you not to post back and forth with that " whacko " ie. Moi' ?
Missing you :o(
Well concerning Reskin I can only relate what I was told. I wasn't there so I can't comment as if it was an absolute but there is a lot to support the contention. 'Least James helped put Gordon away. Rumor has it there was lots of bad blood between the two anyways.
As far as " half ass stomped " IMHO and is reasonably assumed the Feds brass ring was Gordon. Can't blame them one bit for that. Another sworn " officer of the court " Offill class type of attorney, or so it seems eh'. But my contention here is if you sleep with dogs you wake up with fleas. Reskin obviously gave the Feds the hammer they needed otherwise there would not have been a plea deal and he'd still have his license and would not be employeed in the capacity he is now at what I assume would be somewhat less lucrative. Well either way he gets to spend Christmas with his family and that's a good thing.
Won't get into it now due to the hour but I do think our Gov. has some liability in this mess also. This and hundreds of others of a like nature. Not per'se the DOJ but congress and the top people in the SEC. Frank/Hobbs might help things a little but it still doesn't address the root flaw in the system.
Hope we communicate again and sorry Josh isn't home for the Holidays. You and yours have the best Holidays you can either way.
Well, I have read that comment before. I am assuming it was an OK statement. It wasn't from anyone in our family here in Dallas, I am sure.
I consider Reskin a close, personal friend and DO wish him the best. If anyone indicted in this mess was half ass stomped on and taken advantage of, it was Jim
About the 504s, I was speaking of the clearing up of shares, not the money transfers...I processed quite a chunk of them. I considered myself quite knowledgeable about the lifting of restrictions (at the time, things have changed.)
I know you weren't indicted. And I do have a bit of compassion for the relatives for those who were, you included.
True Lindberg should have got the hammer. I personally spoke with a businessman ( victim ) who feels the same as you. But Mark rolled and rolled to the point that even the Judge complimented him on his cooperation. I do have to wonder what he didn't say about a few others who didn't get indicted though and more than a few thought should have.
TX 504 laws ? do secret overseas monie transfers get a pass on that ? Proven pump and dump tactics by insiders ? Failing to report on official filings ? I could go on and on.
Gordon ! what's his history ? Clark ? Reskin ? then Decesares and others who got invited in for a sit-down. Please don't attempt to defend those in the " slam ". They've stolen millions time and time again. They hurt innocent people without caring one flying fck' about it. Personally I hope they rot in internal hell. Them and all involved who knew what the game was and stuffed their pockets with victims stolen monies. The beverage people, the businessmen and the investors, all innocent victims. Is a shame though that more than a few will walk with less than I think " J " will get. Only wish your bro' would open up the whole can of worms. Make a deal and get his pass. But I would guess that bird has flown.
Reskin/Lindberg, they never even got called on the carpet for EON and all its investors. I'm sure your familiar with that.
Hope true justice prevails for all awaiting sentence. Hope any pain for you and yours passes quickly. I'm very familiar with the hardships defendants family members can go through at such times.
BTW - A particular (reportedly) family member of one of the defendants a long time ago said in a post " these guys were fall guys for people the Feds. were too afraid to go after ".........
Any thoughts or comments ?
If your uncomfortable answering that I understand.
PS - I do appreciate your dialogue, thank you.
I guess I forgot to mention I am his sister as well.
I never made gains, nor was I indicted.
These Guys, in my opinion, did not deserve ANY time! They were within the TX 504 laws.
He will get what he get. It is irrelevant what I think he deserves.
I think Mark Lindberg should have been the main topic!
JL's assistant you say. Now that I find interesting, I'm actually intrigued. Sure makes your " sign " more appropriate.
Sooo you checked the board and corrected me on my error. And yes I know J's from Texas. So a little question ? do 'ya think the probation department will give a favorable reco. on J at the sentencing ? Usually when somebody scoots and the suits have to spend time and money to get them it usually results in a vacation at CLUB FED. Do you think that will be the case here ? Or did he get the deal the barrister got ?
Just have to ask. What do you think he deserves ? and why ? .
And the last question. Do you think the whole show will ever be revealed from A-Z ? I'm really starting to think not. If I was running the show and my " people " said " hey boss case closed " I'd have at minimum half their asses in my briefcase by the end of the day ".
Regardless, Do you and J now realize that all the illegal gains everybody made doesn't come close to what they would have made by giving this one an honest shot ? I hope so. Sure it probably would have tasted bad at first but hey. Should'a could'a would'a.
Gives me a little solice in knowing that they know. A bitter satisfaction so to speak.
Hope to hear from you again. Either way Happy Holidays to you and yours and at sometime may all involved find God in the future.
Well, gender mystery is over.
I am a girl and was JL's assistant.
Well Short it's interesting to me that it is interesting to you that you assume that I gendered you.
5 posts on I-Hub, 4 on Rudn but they all connect to the same subject matter and yet you don't show up 'till the games basically over ?
It wasn't me who suggested your moniker described your boy toy. I did think it was funny though and that the poster had a valid point.
" Contest " - " web of indictments " - " who knows the most players " ? Now let's be serious. The web of indictments is a slam dunk. Any moron could tie you on that one. After all " indictments " are done deals, public records, childs play really. Am I right ? But your retort does arouse me 'cuz I haven't had anyone to play with here in a long time so I've kind'a had to play with myself. So I guess the question to you my ungendered friend is this. Would you like to play for a tad ? My plans were to close up shop shortly anyways. That is once I was convinced a meeting place would no longer be needed or benefit any of the innocent 'cuz certin people " who know " grabbed the cream, their paychecks and left the theater early. But if you'd like to dance I'd accept your invitation and watch the board with more frequence.
This could be some fun for the holidays. Especially for me if my rusty intuitions are correct.
" Dill-hole " - that in itself is interesting to me.
Now just a little prelude. Name who wasn't indicted that you would have indicted ?
You assume I am a Mr.? Interesting.
I am confused about your challenge. Are we having a contest on who know the most players in this web of indictments? I surely win.
Yep ! your right Short, I screwed up. Josh is from Texas. I got him screwed up with Dean the Canadian.
So very sorry about the above but with the numerous players in all the connected scams it looks like I just got a little confused when I posted.
Now Mr. Knowledgeable would you like to have a contest to see who knows the most scammers in this val of tears ? I don't think so.
Dill Hole ? well that's a new one.....
Either way KMA Short. We all know what your about.
And btw - Another coincidence. I haven't checked this board since my last post and yet I checked it 5 minutes ago and found you posted your insult only 30 minutes of so ago ? Either way it should be interesting to see how Josh makes out 'eh. And if good, why ?
It is just a coincidence Dill Hole. Joshua is not Canadian. Get your facts straight before you post about thing you nothing about.
A notification was just received that Josh Lankford is pleading guilty to one solitary charge ??? in connection with his involvement with the GBVS fraud.
Reportedly he will be sentenced in March and a probation report is being compiled for that date.
Lankford was the Canadian who became a federal fugitive 'till he was located in Costa Rica this year. If he only gets probation after that I would sincerely hope it was in exchange for something ?
Just a coincidence I'm sure but I find it funny that he cops to the charge on the anniversary of Rudys SEC fraud announcement even though they were two unconnected cases ( anybody want to buy a bridge ) ???
And now for those of you still interested it appears that Rudy Ruettiger will be taking a cross-country trip in a decked out bus on a promotional tour for his new book " RUDY: MY STORY "........
Got to make up for those SEC judgements one way or another I guess.
OMG ! Just got my copy of " MY STORY ". Only read 5 pages but man were they entertaining. Guess we all got it all wrong. All the way from not knowing that the concept for the beverage and Rudy's participation in marketing it didn't exist 'till years after we here thought it did. Yep, those monies lost in GBVS must have been a figment of our imagination. Unless just maybe there was one sharp con artist doing one hell of a job at identity theft ? Guess me and Bubs were sitting next to an imposter at dinner in Buffalo in June of '07.
And that's not even the best part !
Additional Info. IE: Smanjak, false announcement FAIRPLAY INTERNATIONAL. That particular FALSE announcement went public on 8/29/08. Naturally then I would think it safe to assume that if in fact there is restitution then it would have restricted dates occuring after the mentioned announcement date.
Little correction, it was actually $800,000 not the lesser amount I previously mentioned.
Best O'luck to all ............
Concernig the previous post. The LOS ANGELES TIMES did a story on the 07th. concerning the Smanjak matter titled " MAN PLEADS GUILTY IN STOCK SCAM LINKED TO NOTRE DAME HERO " It appeared in the L.A. NOW Southern Californina - This just in section.
According to the article ( THE ARTICLE ),,, As part of a plea deal Smanjak will be required to pay " FULL RESTITUTION TO MORE THAN 250 VICTIMS OF THE SCHEME " !!!
I have no idea what criteria will be utilized to determine who is considered a victim however it appears as though some here MAY have a shot at recovering some lost money.
Remeber this is not connected to the earlier GBVS restitution fund so the Tulsa USDOJ isn't involved.
Suggest any investors who lost money in scam #2b as I call it may want to inquire with the US District Court in Santa Ana or USDOJ office in that area. Should anyone obtain related info. please post it here so others may be informed.
UPDATE: If anyone still cares.......................
8/07/12 - Chad Smanjak from the " FAIRPLAY " scam pled guilty yesterday in U.S. District Court to his role in the RUNU/RUDN scam. Should you not remember the FAIRPLAY announcement stated that RUDN received $ 400,000 for developement purposes and that FAIRPLAY was to receive stock redeemable after one year at .25 per share.
A few posters addressed that soon after the announcement came out.
Smanjak faces 5 years in federal prison. He fled the country and returned to his native South Africa when the heat came down. He was arrested in January in Johannesberg and waived extradition. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 12.
_____________________________________________________________________
Former Atty. Reskin has had his sentencing date postponed again. Josh Lankford ( who fled also and was captured in Costa Rica ) is currently under detainment awaiting possible trial. ( if he's nuts enough to go that route ).
Dean Syptecki is still a federal fugitive.
_____________________________________________________________________
Awaiting with baited breath my pre-ordered copy of " RUDY-MY STORY ".
Thank you. It will be of some length but I will do my best to try and keep it down. Say to the level of one good " bathroom " read. Perhaps it will give you a little enhanced level of perspective. Figure if you have any interest at all I at minimum owe you that, atleast that. Especially true if you, like I are anticipating the release of this " must read ". So much damn irony in this whole affair 'eh ?
MOI ??? never one to kiss and tell. Perhaps Javert or maybe Danamattman or any number of others.
Tied up today. Soon as I get the time. Do you think you'll enjoy the reading. NOOOO cryptics, promise. :o)
Sure No need to ask.
The comment at the bottom of the Forbes article sounded like it come from someone who had a pretty firm grasp of the specifics.
Joe?
May I send you an E- ? Just for your own edification. I think you'd find it interesting or at minimum put things in clearer perspective should you desire.
Owe you another for the early heads up.
Wouldn't ya know....
Here comes the tell all book that doesnt really tell poo
http://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanvardi/2012/06/11/rudy-ruettiger-i-shouldnt-have-been-chasing-the-money/
Oh the games people play..... Check out GBVS on this board for the last week of May and if so inclined pop over to the R/B board and review the banter I had with another poster several months ago.
Now is it my well earned paranoia or do I smell another run cooking ?
BTW - should have mentioned this before but for those who don't know Lankford was picked up in Costa Rica last fall and has legal action pending in Tulsa. Info. is that the SEC petitioned and got the OK for a civil judgement for tens of millions.
FYI - For anyone besides myself monitoring the GBVS case. Was informed today that former Atty. James Reskin has had his sentencing date postponed yet again. The new scheduled date is Aug. 01st.
I like that,,, just may be indicative of something.
Geez hope it has something to do with the fraud committed on the Eon Water investors and their losing their swapped shares for GBVS shares that never materialized ?
Maybe a few more things too ?
Might be fun to see how thorough the Govt. is on this combined show.
Just a little clarification on my last. " Nothing but one long coordinated scam " BY A FEW...... NOT ALL !!!!
I'll try again but without addressing some of the topics I did before and see what happens.
Your right on your " thru December " period. When I first spoke with an agent in Tulsa I had my buy list in front of me that included all dates, cost etc.. I was asked what my loses where from a date in'05 'till December 31st. '06. I didn't have any in '05. Started buying Jan. 06th. '06. He took that information and when I inquired about buys after '06 I was informed that the current case covered only to the last day in '06.
I do know that the 6.1+ mil. the Judge ordered for restitution was specifically allocated for the approx. 168 victims from the three company scams. Their listed losses matched the total. Don't know what criteria was used to get them placed on the initial list of victims but either way. Last year some time I did again speak with a DOJ rep. and was again informed of the 05'-06' time frame and I unfortunately, believing that was accurate spent days contacting numerous investors I had come in contact with over the years and informed them of the restitution and the above time frame. Lot'sa happy people waiting for an E- from the DOJ that will now never come. Got lots of unpleasant calls to make over the next few days now.
I'm out 80% of what I anticipated getting back as it turns out and approx. 95% of my total. Too bad in that in reality it was nothing but one long coordinated scam with a couple of common players through the whole show (few little twists though) and all the investors from start to finish weren't covered.
" Tickles you " 'ya, me to a little. Can't say we beat 'em but we sure did make their knuckles bleed a bit 'eh ?, intentional or not. The Cartels players wearing orange, a whole lot of meet and greets being canceled and a change of address etc. etc. But on the other hand the real string pullers just dig up a few buried coffee cans, pay their fines as usual and move on to the next score.
Wish we could do something on the Government end but our arms are to short to box with God. Looks like that's all we did is kiss our sister (the ugly one) while out on a very expensive date.
Would really really like to know why some of my posts disappear ? 5 paragraphs in reply to RudyHater less than an hour ago and it like others don't post ???

The Rudy beverage was formulated to include a beneficial mixture of vitamins, electrolytes, carbohydrates and xylitol. Xylitol is a natural low calorie sweetener. It is clinically shown to decrease the formation of certain bacterias and plaques in the mouth.
There are currently four flavors of “Rudy”: Blue Fuel, Fruit Punch Blast, Citrus Slam, and Orange Lift. These flavors are the best selling flavors in the market today. Rudy is not in competition with many of the other beverages in the store or vending machines currently. The drink is in a class of its own “the new age beverage” category.
The beverage has been through a complete overhaul and has been taste tested across the country. The drink “rudy” is ready to stand the test with consumers and will undoubtledy like Rudy reach the goal of becoming the most recognized success story in the beverage industry. It’s the little guy rising to the top all over again.
