As they say... "Vote Early, Vote Often"
Ive been watching this very closely
Yes that was me.
However, at times I believe that the same train keeps coming, the enginneer just switches hats....
Thats a whole different show.
Seizure - annuitization - and say goodbye to leaving anything to your children. "alles klar Herr Kommissar"
The train may get derailed but DL and the lame duck may cause more injuries.
Tell SCB - Hello! THank You! and Ditto
Matt: received only one in the box at 1551 hrs. Started out with " I've been watching this very - - - ". First Initial from sender matches. Don't know the middle and last so I could use a little confirmation. Would now make sense when connected to your initial post but would like to be sure. Paranoid me read a thousand possibilities into the mover post.
If that was you in my mail box I can only say thank you very much and appreciate such information from someone as knowledgeable as you on such matters. Do intend to read through it again. Initial reaction to content is that it tends to confirm some feelings I've possessed but couldn't refine. Hope by the end of the night some ground work will be laid to derail the comming train.
Very nice gesture if that was yours. If not then I've just made myself look like a total idiot. (nothing new).
PS- SCB asked me to say hello for him and hopes your doing well.
I sent a few hours ago
Did you get it?
Please try and not use the cryptic.... I just cant figure it out most of the time.
Mattress? If its paper you speak, then I will ask, what happens when a company keeps issueing stock and selling it into the market?
The value goes down, yes? THerefore, dont own that. As for the rest, sleep wherever you want.
Enjoy it ??? That is to be seen. Am waiting with anticipation of the unknown however. Regardless I appreciate your input whatever that may be to include what I assume is a possible weather forecast. Wise words from a wise man should not go unheeded.
Naturally I'll let you know my thoughts.
Why do I get the feeling I should either go to the mattresses,
prepare to go to the mattresses,
buy a mattress
or start sleeping on the floor ?
Enjoy the reading
I'll I can offer is insight. Once aware of things that are possible, each of us must make our own decisions.
It has been said, there are 3 types of people.
Immovable, movable, and those who actually move.
Immovable people refuse to accept possibilities, and are steadfast in their belief that they know how it is..
Brings to mind the story of the drowning man who asked god "Why didnt you save me?", after rejecting the weather report, the man in the boat, and the helicopter rescue.
"What are you doing here?", God asked while standing at the pearly gates. "I sent you a weather report, a boat, and a helicopter", and then God said "What more do you want from me?"
Movable folks are those who can be moved, but don't.
Those who actually move, are the ones that get out of the way of the Bus about to run over them.
Let me know your thoughts if you choose. I'll be standing on the curb, not in the road.
That's correct my friend. I'll check it regularly for your E.
Thanx in advance.
I'll let you know
I try and read and explore and see what I think, but for right now I am working on other things that have my full attention.
It will probably be awhile before I can get to this.
Please post your lycos email so I can get you this info...
captjoe503@lycos.com if I remember, yes or no.
Capt - Important
I need to send your lycos email an email, can you post again
Sadly, While I know how you like to follow the trail here, and I dont blame you....
I think we have bigger problems. I'll send it, you read it. Then do with it what you will.
You and yours have lost enough... I dont want anybody to get blindsided by what I have been following
There you go! LOL... :)
Just one more teeny weensy point of interest. I see in the indictment the mention of SIGNATURE STOCK TRANSFER of Plano Texas as the clearing house.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not throwing and dispersions on this company at all. But from what I recall if one were to have contacted this agency for the latest share count of RUNU in the summer of 2008 you were quite uniquely informed by e- mail that
" Effective 7-9-2008 we have been advised that the COMPANY will be disseminating ALL INFORMATION regarding the SHARES OUTSTANDING for RUDY NUTRITION. Please contact the following email - goirish@kquinn.net regarding the shares outstanding or authorized.
Just a coincidence I would think that the FairPlay announcement comes out on May 29th. '08 and a little while later ( 5 weeks or so ) per S.S.T. they were no longer disseminating share count
information, only the company was giving this info. out !
Unique product, unique way of doing business I guess ?
WHAT DO YOU THINK COLO ??????
SCION - BTW - You ever get up to the home of wings, beef on wick, sponge candy etc. you got a plate full of each on me for your attention to this matter.
Hold on there a minute Bob-a-loo....
If you go by the FairPlay announcement (5/29/08) that shows the old A.V.C.G. I/R firm and James Romero ( Investor Relations Contact ). Just going by what I read on the origional announcement. I'm just going by that mind you.
Oh my goodness ! Just read the indictment. One of the announcements was Fairplay International Enterprises LLC.
Where did I see that before ? Ironic it's name is FairPlay isn't it ! Guess I'll just have to google past announcements to refresh my memory.
I'll be right back.
__________________________________________________________________
Alrighty then, found it. Yep .25 PPS one year restriction. 800,000 grand fronted for it.
Hummmmmm, and I quote " WE ARE NOW WELL CAPITALIZED AND POISED TO CAPTURE SIGNIFICANT CONSUMER ATTENTION. WE ARE EXCITED TO EXECUTE OUR MARKETING PLANS, FURTHER OUR EXPANSION, AND CONTINUE TO FULFILL NEW ORDERS ".
__________________________________________________________________
Double hummmmmmm ! Assuming that the indictment is true one could then surmise that not only did the company fail to notify its shareholders of this false announcement, which shows up every time you would do a pps check, but also........ ?
Wow.. Thats CRAZEEEE!! Sometime I wonder how people can go so wrong.. I wonder how they can sleep at night. They must be aware that it will eventually catch up to them, or at the very least know they are walking on egg shells.
From what I know of, Stephen Taylor has not been with Spongetech for 5 or 6 years. The bad stuff with Spongetech appeared to start about 3 years ago. There are no listings of any investigations or any actions against him either on SEC.gov. Its unfortunate how certain people can be greedy and get themselves in trouble. They have families and parents. I can only imagine what they go through.
Prosecutors claim Smanjak and others obtained millions of shares of penny stock in a sports drink company called Rudy Nutrition and then pumped up the trading volume by trading it among themselves and issuing misleading press releases. They allegedly then dumped the stock on the market until federal regulators halted trading in 2008.

I posted it where I meant it to be. Maybe I misunderstood the post from short-this.
AHHH GIT - I hope you accidently just posted on the wrong board. You got me all cornfuzed with that response (doesn't take much ). Geez, I thought we were board buddies too.
Who b Bruno ?
Listen doofus I didn't ask for your opinion, critique, or observation of my judgement, funds, or intent yet you crawled out from under a rock with 3 whole posts and seem to know all about it.
Say hello to Bruno for us when you see him.
OK then boys and girls here's the skinny for those sentenced yesterday....
GEORGE DAVID GORDON - 15 years 8 months.
By federal standards he could get 6 months knocked off for good behavior. 1 day for every month served.
+ 3 years supervised probation.
+ the 2.7 million criminal forfeiture
+ criminal forfeiture against both Gordon and Clark both to contribute towards a $ 6.1 million restitution fund.
Also a $ 43.9 million shared criminal forfeiture judgement against the two
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - -
RICHARD CLARK - 12 years 7 months.
Same federal standards as stated above.
+ 3 years supervised probation.
And their lawyers blame it all on the " FALSE " testimony of Mark Lindberg. :o)
In a just world most defense lawyers could be charged with subordinating perjury. To bad the later is referred to as " good lawyering ".
Why I am shocked beyond belief !!!!!
But I'm kind'a wondering about some other announcements from another p/r outfit too.
Thank you as always for your time.
But if I may ? What do you think about my previous post ? Is my wondering rational ??
Shouldn't somebody in Toon Town have rectified the situation, or maybe they just thought it was too insignificant to address.

Litigation Release No. 21189A / August 27, 2009
Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Release No. 3040 / August 27, 2009
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. MICHAEL J. MOORE AND MOORE & ASSOCIATES CHARTERED, Civil Action No. 2:09-cv-01637 (D. Nev.)
SEC CHARGES LAS VEGAS-BASED CPA AND HIS ACCOUNTING FIRM WITH FRAUD
Today, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged a Las Vegas-based CPA and his public accounting firm with securities fraud for issuing false audit reports that failed to comply with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") Standards and were often the product of high school graduates hired with little or no education or experience in accounting or auditing. The Commission's lawsuit, filed in federal district court in Las Vegas, Nevada, names Michael J. Moore ("Moore"), CPA, age 55, of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Moore & Associates Chartered ("M&A"), a Nevada corporation headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. Moore and M&A have agreed to settle the charges without admitting or denying the allegations.
According to the SEC's complaint, Moore and M&A issued audit reports for more than 300 clients who consist of primarily shell or developmental stage companies with public stock quoted on the OTCBB or the Pink Sheets. The SEC alleges that Moore and M&A violated numerous auditing standards, including a failure to hire employees with adequate technical training and proficiency. The SEC further alleges that Moore and M&A did not adequately plan and supervise the audits, failed to exercise due professional care, and did not obtain sufficient competent evidence. Despite the audit failures, M&A issued and Moore signed audit reports falsely stating that the audits were conducted in accordance with PCAOB Standards. By issuing and signing these false audit reports, Moore and M&A violated the antifraud provisions of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and Regulation S-X Rule 2-02(b)(1).
The SEC's complaint also alleges that Moore and M&A violated Sections 10A(a)(1) and10A(b)(1) of the Exchange Act by failing to include audit procedures designed to detect and report likely illegal acts. The complaint further alleges that Moore and M&A improperly modified audit documentation in violation of Regulation S-X Rule 2-06.
To settle the Commission's charges, Moore and M&A consented to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining them from future violations of Sections 10(b), 10A(a)(1), and 10A(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and Regulation S-X Rules 2-02(b)(1) and 2-06 and ordering them to disgorge $179,750 plus prejudgment interest of $10,151.59. Moore separately agreed to pay a $130,000 penalty. Moore and M&A also consented to the entry of an administrative order that makes findings and suspends them from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant pursuant to Rule 102(e)(3) of the Commission's Rules of Practice.

You know what I wonder ?
I wonder about the following - " THE INDICTMENT ALLEGES THAT SMANJAK ( AND OTHERES ) OBTAINED MILLIONS OF SHARES OF STOCK IN RUDY NUTRITION ( RUNU & RUDN ) AND THEN " PUMPED " THE STOCK BY ISSUING FALSE AND MISLEADING ' P R E S S R E L E A S E S ' " etc. etc. etc.
False and misleading press releases on both RUNU and RUDN. That's quite a block of time there when you add the transition from one to the other 'till its intentional, oooops, strike that ! eventual demise.
But what I wonder is why didn't the homies jump on these " false press releases " right away ? Must have known about them. After all there was more than one I suspect ? Yet unless memory fails nobody took any steps to inform the investors they were bogus announcements. No warnings, no retractions, no clarifications. Nope, just going along during this period offering " real deals " if you bought a truck load of juice. Free shares too. Just ask the Overland boys how good a deal that was.
Hell you'd think the I/R guy would have been on this right away. But then again maybe he was. Or maybe somehow I just missed someone or ANYONE posting info. about these obviously known FALSE PRESS RELEASES.
Too bad avcg can't be contacted for an explanation. Tried reaching out for one of the former guys but seems he's not interested in speaking with me ? But maybe that's just a miscommunication.
Got an idea about the announcements though. Guess people just have to learn how to play fair in this world 'eh.
Please correct me if you feel I'm off base with my wondering.
OOOOPs ! Almost forgot 'bout Pan American Capital from Vegas.
And thank you again.
Nice to see a little activity being generated here.
Tomorrow should be interesting if the calender still holds.
This just may start to get fun again ?
Long Beach man indicted on federal fraud charges for promoting 'pump and dump' of publicly traded company

Long Beach man indicted on federal fraud charges for promoting 'pump and dump' of publicly traded company
SANTA ANA, Calif. - A federal grand jury Wednesday named a Long Beach, Calif., man in an 11-count indictment that accuses him of running a "pump and dump" scheme that allowed him to artificially generate market demand for a penny stock issued by a sports drink company.
Chad Peter Smanjak, 37, was indicted on 10 counts of aiding and abetting wire fraud and one count of conspiring to launder money. Smanjak fled to his native South Africa earlier this year after authorities executed a search warrant and is considered a fugitive.
This case against is the result of an investigation by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) - Criminal Investigation, which received assistance from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Delaware also provided assistance.
The indictment alleges that Smanjak and others obtained millions of shares of stock in Rudy Nutrition (RUNU and RUDN) and then "pumped" the stock by issuing false and misleading press releases and by trading RUNU stock among themselves. As a result of their activities, Smanjak and the others artificially increased the trading volume of RUNU stock and generated the appearance of market demand. The indictment alleges that Smanjak and others then "dumped" approximately 600 million shares of RUNU on the market, fraudulently realizing a profit of approximately $5.2 million.
As part of the scheme alleged in the indictment, Smanjak worked with others to have approximately 634,573,619 RUNU shares issued to several Panamanian companies he controlled. These nominee companies then sold most of the RUNU shares over a five-month period in 2008 until the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission halted trading of RUNU shares. With money sitting in the brokerage accounts of the Panamanian companies, Smanjak directed others to wire proceeds of the stock sales to Panamanian banks, then back to United States accounts he and his co-conspirators controlled.
As part of the scheme, Smanjak paid his trader with a $400,000 Lamborghini Murcielago, which has been seized by ICE HSI as part of the investigation.
"Americans should be able to invest their money knowing they are protected against fraudulent transactions, such as the scam allegedly perpetrated by the defendant in this case," said Claude Arnold, special agent in charge of ICE HSI in Los Angeles. "Homeland Security Investigations will vigorously pursue those who exploit our nation's financial systems to defraud unwitting victims and deprive them of their hard-earned savings."
Leslie P. DeMarco, special agent in charge of IRS - Criminal Investigation's Los Angeles Field Office, commented: "Stock pump-and-dump schemes hurt the small investor while profiting the promoter. If Mr. Smanjak's scheme, which resulted in a profit of $5.2 million, was legal, why did he engage in nearly $1.7 million in money laundering transactions designed to conceal the proceeds of his scheme? Because his scheme was criminal in nature and he wanted desperately to avoid detection. IRS - Criminal Investigation is united with our law enforcement partners to disrupt investment schemes and prosecute promoters who commit crimes for their own personal financial gain."
The CEO of Rudy Nutrition was Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, whose story of becoming a member of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team is depicted in the 1993 film, "Rudy." Rudy Nutrition purported to sell health-conscious beverages as an alternative to high-sugar soda and sports drinks. On November 14, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission revoked the registration of each class of registered securities of Rudy Nutrition for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission.

Jeez: Just wonder if they used the name PAN AMERICAN CAPITAL GROUP as it appeared in Rudy Nutrition's 10-K from 10/14/08 showing that they held 17 million shares ( 7.6 % ) of the outstanding.
Funny, There is a PAN AMERICA CAPITAL GROUP (America not American) that describes itself in its disclaimer as " NOT A NASD LICENSED BROKER " ---- and ---- " WILL NOT PROVIDE ITS SERVICES TO U.S. PERSONS OR RESIDENTS ". Wonder if sometimes people make errors in the recording of selected business names ? Perhaps for a variety of reasons.
Then there is (was) PAN AMERICAN GLOBAL connected to Peter Pintarics (Pres.) which was tied in with HAMPTON BROADSTONE AND OLIVER INC. who had a nice little play going called the HAMPTON BOND PROGRAM 'till the suits caught up with them. Another little gem from out of Tulsa OK. Old Peter went to Naples Fl. where the local news did a very damning article on him.
Then yet there's www.dfi.wa.gov/sd/orders/S-00-0-06-F0o2.pdf (some legal eagles from Tulsa).
Talk about hiding the pea sometimes 'eh ?
Thank you btw - your post just gave me a stiffy better than a double Viagra for a few reasons. Sooooo happy to see the suits connect those dots, thus far !
Kudos to the K and staff.
Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! lol
Long Beach Man Charged With $5m Stock Swindle
Oct 28, 2010 8:04 am US/Pacific
http://cbs13.com/wireapnewsca/Long.Beach.man.2.1985061.html
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) ? A Long Beach man has been charged with running a $5.2-million "pump and dump" investment fraud that involved money laundering through Panamanian banks.
A federal grand jury in Orange County indicted 37-year-old Chad Smanjak Wednesday on 10 counts of aiding wire fraud and one count of money laundering.
Federal prosecutors say Smanjak fled to his native South Africa earlier this year and is considered a fugitive.
Prosecutors claim Smanjak and others obtained millions of shares of penny stock in a sports drink company called Rudy Nutrition and then pumped up the trading volume by trading it among themselves and issuing misleading press releases. They allegedly then dumped the stock on the market until federal regulators halted trading in 2008.
http://cbs13.com/wireapnewsca/Long.Beach.man.2.1985061.html
OOOOPs ! sorry C, can't send private messages 'less you be a paying member. Not enough skin in the game for me to be dishing out more cash on this. Spent almost a grand already on this crusade. Over half a years pension since I first saw the announcement.
Any other means is ok by me should your curiosity get the best of you.
Just a weak theory of mine. Maybe just wishful thinking from a jaded mind that's reading a chapter that will never be written.
BUT just maybe there's a chance that something will come along that will explain why one atty. pled to only one charge ( out of many laid ) and had his sentencing seperated from the others by four months. Experience suggests one good reason but that doesn't necessarily make it so. Did hear that one of the legal eagles hated the other one with a passion though. Could be that it was just in exchange for his cooperation during the trial however. But could just as well be for his ( and maybe Markies ) cooperation on other matters of interest too. Only wish I knew.
Hell I'd even consider the pay to play membership for this board if things got interesting again.
Did I mention YONG to you ? got that from SCB a little while ago.
See what you think if your so inclined.
Best always either way.
COOl !
I'll be in touch soon.
Visitation for the family ? No doubt. But which one ?
'Least no need to bring Halloween costumes this year. Think both will be wearing the same one ( color anyways ) for the foreseeable future. I would think they would be changing colors fairly soon though. Green to orange, red to white, or whatever the transition is from temp. holding to club fed.
The darkest hearts can hide anywhere can't they. Always cut me to the quick when there's no geographical, racial or socioeconomic hindrances. Won't include physiological in cases such as these. This shit comes from the heart and the heads just there to assist.
Soldiers indeed inquire within
No problem. Its a free country, while last time it took a hard right just after, lets hope for a new beginning this time.
Upto speed on comments here and there, I am sure the family will avail themselves of visitation.
Matt: Thank you for addressing Short the way you did. Saved me retort time with a similar theme.
NO ! NO ! NO !!! - Lucky never filed suit. I addressed that matter with a few people but believe I already know the answer.
You do to.
TulsaWorld should have an article or two on the sentencing by the end of the week. Friday morn. should be the wrap on at least Clark/Gordon. Please if you get time read it from top to bottom.
The article and all that follows.
Thanks for the tip as usual. Mined if I pass it on to SCB and Gorudy ?
Mediocre garden results this year myself.
Mind if I send you a private message on this board ?
Be well and onward Christian Soldiers.
Short this....hmmmm sounds like
a bit of a reverse speech autobiography. Sorry to hear about that. I've said it before, I'll say it again, "The depths of a womans understanding is beyond comprehension."
On a more proactive note, I have heard there is a vacuum device that may extend your abilities, if ya know what I mean. Also, there are plenty of supplements that may improve your "health" and in turn her happiness... Best to ya.
Oh by the way, be it $50 or $500 or $50,000 the risk is understood, but outright criminal actions are not factored in the normal investment risk disclosure. If I have missed something, can you please forward the disclosure that sites; Conspiracy, Fraud, Securities Violations, and Obstruction as normal business activities, I'de like to see that one.
So, just a little housekeepeing here. Capt, I have to tell you that after spending, while enjoyable at times, over 2 years trying at various degrees to decipher some of your posts, 5 minutes reading the TulsaWorld articles cleared the whole thing up. Maybe it was the pictures.
Lucky ever file suit to pursue damages? I wouldnt think so. Still a shame.
Hey heres a tip... LTUS That is unless you think the whole system is gonna come crashing down.
Tomatoes were a big success, peppers were a push at best. Onions, no go. Carrots came late and saved the day.
Best to ya
Wow. $500 WHOLE DOLLARS? It's a Penny Stock. You signed the disclosure. You knew the risks.
Hey GIT'. Have no fear I'll be here to the old " fat lady sings " which I've mentioned numerous times before. Happy that a few people still monitor. Get's a little frustrating when your hear alone.
Really something that there were two web-sites dealing with the matter. From what I've been told the BADRUDY site created by GORUDY was the first of its kind in being the most comprehensive data collection base dealing with alleged fraud and sending gathered info. directly to the various government agencies. Damn sad it was necessary.
ACUP - children of Sherman Mazur were on top of that one. Google that name some time and you'll smell the blood. Just amazing when you see the whole play on paper and the improvisation injected when needed to keep the show going. Believe me ACUP was nothing in the overall picture.
Yep! Some of the fck's are going to be wearing " the greens " for some time I suspect. Should know about them on the 29th. Just keep your fingers crossed that maybe it's not over. I can think of a minimum of 6 more who should have to stand before the man ( or woman ) to bring real closure to this case. What a message it would send !!!
The Govt. guys and gals have done a great job thus far. Kev. M from the SEC deserves kudos for his work. If things would have been on the up and up from the start RBI would have easily been a household name and billion dollar company by now. Just think, Coke bought V/WATER for 4.3 billion CASH in '07. What would RBI be
worth today with Revolution/flying colors etc.etc. . - Easier to dump the beverage guys and just concentrate on selling stock and reaping those gains rather than have to put in all those annoying work hours and have to wait for the big payoff.
Think I'll throw out a little tidbit I've been holding. Wasn't insider info. cuz I didn't have my suspicions confirmed on it 'till sometime after the demise. I was curious about the Arcadia Farms expansion ( new wing $ 2 mil. worth ) WHY ? had my private thoughts but then it all came together. Know why ?
Cuz' Arcadia and RBI were going to be ONE. Think about that !
So much more too. Follow your schemes ( ooops, follow your dreams ). Hope you stay tuned.
Hey board! Glad to see you've been keeping up with these creeps over the years!
I bought in when it was ACUP (I think, it's been a long time) when someone seemed to find out that Rudy had signed some documents with the SOS office about taking over the shell. It has been a while! Lost about $500 on the deal if I remember right.
Even hosted therudyscam.com website for a while because I was so pissed. Hope those fuckers spend the holidays in the can with Bruno and a broomstick while I spend the holidays with my family!
Good luck and thanks for keeping up with the bastards!
Koko: I've got a list that shows between GBVS & RUDN over a half a million was lost by either investors I personally know or have personal knowledge of ( names, amounts etc. ).
The two top GBVS guys I'll bet are going down HEAVY. I'm thinking somewhere around 15 or more each.
The others I would think will go for 5 + perhaps due to their cooperation. Reskin deserves at min. 10 in my opinion even though I posted I didn't think he was a culpable as the rest which was a bogus statement. I was hoping to draw out some more info. with that statement but nobody countered it. Reskin was Zinns attorney in the past and Zinn was Lindbers connection with the Bulgarian Sniffex deal. Let them all rot in hell !!!!
12 days and the sentences for Clark/Gordon should be complete. I'll post them soon as I hear and try and get the info. on the others. Remember that Reskins isn't till Jan.
Bunch more as we know still need to get pinched in this CONNECTED series of scams. Keep your fingers crossed that they eventually will. The Govt.s got the keys to that should they decide to open that door.
Glad you still monitor, wish others would also. I don't think this is near completion yet.
THESE CLOWNS SCREWED ME OUT OF THOUSANDS I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL
Even the article Short-This posted doesn't do justice to the tangled web these and their cohorts in the background spun.
You could play connect the dots for a whole day and still not have a completed picture.
Best bet is to google TULSA WORLD and then type in GEORGE DAVID GORDON TRIAL in the archive box near the top of the page. It will give you all the articles since the arrest of SOME of the CARTEL MEMBERS. After you read the articles go to the bottom and check out the readers comment section ( very interesting ).
You could also google GEORGE DAVID GORDON and you'll find a bunch of articles on the scam.
You wouldn't believe how deep and far reaching this goes.
Pump & Dump Scheme: 02-12-09 G. David Gordon, others indicted
Posted on February 12, 2009 by alaskakid| Leave a comment
FIVE INDICTED FOR DEVISING AND PARTICIPATING IN MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR STOCK MANIPULATION
Defendant Co-conspirators Allegedly Profited in Excess of $41 Million in Illegal Securities “Pump and Dump Scheme”
Acting Assistant Attorney General Rita M. Glavin of the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division and United States Attorney David E. O’Meilia for the Northern District of Oklahoma today announced the unsealing of a twenty-four (24) count indictment, returned by a federal grand jury in Tulsa, Oklahoma on January 15, 2009, charging five individuals with various crimes arising from their alleged scheme to defraud investors that reaped defendants in excess of $41 million through manipulating the publicly traded stocks of three companies. Two companies based in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the time of the alleged scheme were among those whose stock was manipulated: Deep Rock Oil & Gas, Inc. and Global Beverage Solutions, Inc., formerly known as Pacific Peak Investments. The third company, National Storm Management Group, Inc., has its principal place of business in Glen Ellyn, Illinois.
G. David Gordon, 47, a Tulsa attorney, and Richard Clark, 61, also of Tulsa, were arrested today and are will make their initial appearances this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma. Louisville, Ky., attorney James Reskin, 50, was also arrested today and is being scheduled to make his initial appearance in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. Dean Sheptycki, 41, a resident of the Bahamas, was arrested this morning by Bahamian authorities and currently awaits extradition to the United States. The indictment also charges Dallas-area resident Joshua Wayne Lankford, 35. Lankford’s current location is unknown, and law enforcement officials are seeking him as a fugitive.
In a related action, the Securities and Exchange Commission today filed a civil enforcement action in the Northern District of Oklahoma against Gordon, Lankford, and Sheptycki. That civil case number is 09-CV-061.
The grand jury indictment alleges that between April 2004 and December 2006, the defendants devised and engaged in a scheme to defraud investors known as a “pump and dump” in which they manipulated three publicly traded “A penny stocks,” that is, common stocks that trade for less than $5 per share in the over-the-counter market, rather than on national exchanges. According to the indictment, the defendants executed the scheme by obtaining a majority of the free trading shares of stock of the company they intended to manipulate, using fraudulent and deceptive means to acquire the stock and/or remove the trading restrictions on the shares they obtained.
As charged, the defendants hid and “parked” their shares with various nominees, such as friends, relatives, or other entities that they owned and controlled. Subsequently, they engaged in coordinated trading in order to create the appearance of an emerging market for these stocks, after which they conducted massive promotional campaigns in which unsolicited fax and email “blasts” were sent to millions of recipients. These blasts touted the respective stocks without accurately disclosing who was paying for the promotions, omitted that the defendants intended to sell their shares, and induced unsuspecting legitimate investors to purchase stock in the companies. The defendants and their nominees took significant profits by selling large amounts of shares after they had artificially inflated the stock price. For each of the three manipulated stocks, the defendants’ sell-off caused declines of the stock price and left legitimate investors holding stock of significantly reduced value.
The indictment charges all five defendants with one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, nine counts of wire fraud, five counts of securities fraud, and six counts of money laundering in connection with the manipulation of three penny stocks. Gordon is also charged with one count of making a false statement in a matter within the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the scheme to defraud. Additionally, the indictment charges Gordon with one count of wire fraud in connection with a fourth penny stock, that of New Jersey-based International Power Group, Ltd., and one count of obstruction of justice of an investigation into that alleged wire fraud violation.
According to the indictment, the defendants profited over $41 million from the overall scheme, and therefore, the indictment also seeks criminal forfeiture of $41.4 million from all five defendants in connection with the three penny stocks. Additionally, the indictment seeks criminal forfeiture of $2.74 million from Gordon in connection with the wire fraud involving the fourth penny stock.
A Grand Jury indictment is one method of charging defendants with alleged violations of federal law, and all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until the charges are proved beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
If convicted, the conspiracy and false statement charges each carry a maximum sentence of 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Each charge of wire fraud, as well as the obstruction of justice count, carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The maximum sentence for each securities fraud count is 20 years in prison and a $5,000,000 fine, and the maximum sentence for each money laundering count is 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
On July 22, 2008, Mark Byron Lindberg, age 40, of the Dallas, Texas area, pled guilty to a conspiracy alleging the same wire and securities fraud scheme and agreed to a $6,229,354 forfeiture money judgment for his participation in the scheme that bilked investors across the nation out of millions of dollars. Lindberg admitted that he and other unnamed co-conspirators attempted to illegally manipulate the stock price of various companies through a number of means including: acquiring a substantial amount of free trading shares of stock in the companies that were concealed in various brokerage accounts; creating and distributing to the public false and misleading promotional materials; and engaging in coordinated trading of stock in order to manipulate the price of the stocks being traded, including selling their stock while at the same time encouraging the public to buy.
U.S. Attorney O’Meilia stated: A Investors engaged in the purchase or sale of publicly traded stocks rely upon the integrity of securities markets to ensure that they receive a fair price and opportunity for potential profit, based upon accurate information and the free operation of principles of supply-and-demand. Congress and regulatory agencies have established a comprehensive and complex system of oversight and regulation to attempt to insure the fairness and integrity of these markets. ‘Pump and dump’ schemes hurt more than the immediate victims who bought the stock and lost their money B such fraudulent activities undermine investor confidence in the markets.”
Fort Worth Division United States Postal Inspector-in-Charge Randall C. Till said: “The public has a right to believe that representations made to them, whether through U.S. Mail, fax or email, are true and accurate. Since the Mail Fraud statute was enacted by Congress in 1872, U.S. Postal Inspectors have been investigating alleged criminals just like the five defendants announced today who are charged with using the U.S. Mail and other communications means to perpetrate frauds against American consumers.”
The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Andrew Warren of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section, Assistant United States Attorney Catherine Depew for the Northern District of Oklahoma, and Special Assistant United States Attorney Kevin Muhlendorf, who is detailed to the U.S. Attorney’s Office from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The case is being investigated by the F.B.I., the I.R.S. Criminal Investigation Division, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
Do you have a link to the initial charges?
FYI- GORDON/CLARK SENTENCING CONTINUENCE NOW SCHEDULED FOR COMPLETION ON OCTOBER 29TH.
Think I got a good idea what they'll be dressed up as for Holloween.
UPDATE ON SENTENCEING: Gordon/Clark from the 24th. Proceedings commenced and were unable to be completed in their entirety on that date. Next court date scheduled for late October.
Oh and Lou a little gift 4 U. ( just to show it's all in fun here and not personal. Check out another China stock. YONG is the symbol. Think unless things go totally south you'll see a solid double soon.
Is your China bev. co. about ready to merge with its bottler Lou ? Anyone ready to take it overseas yet ? Still don't get it do ya Lou. Bet you never will either.
LOUIE LOUIE ---- How the hell are 'ya old chum. Glad to see your still on this side of the grass. Been a bit 'eh. Hope your summers going well. Still find your posts amusing though. Baseless and disoriented as usual but amusing.
Tuesday next week. Yup' Tuesday at last ! Act one bites the big one. Think a few will have a restless sleep the night before. Interested to see what M/L gets though. Think his day is till Wednesday. Little separation I would think because he rolled to save his own azz from the " big bitch " as they say in copland. Not sure why Reskin got postponed 'till January but no matter, he's the least culpable of the crew. Actually don't think he was really a crew member at all. Just fell into the abyss and lost his way. No matter though, we all get tempted in life and those who decide to play have to pay 'eh. Actually hoping he can soften his fall by opening up the whole can. He and a few others. Who knows, guess we'll see.
Personally think the " whole " show makes Weiss's " BORN TO STEAL " look anemic in comparison. Sooooo many louies (just a coincidence). Big difference is Washington bagged a whole related bunch this time and who knows how much was collectively seized or for that matter how much more may be seized down the road. Can only hide those bones in so many places and paper trails suck for a few. And worse part is you never know who will talk when pressured.
Going golfing with the Vegas boys there Lou. Good for you. Funny how the whole mess started with a golf game isn't it. Guess if you don't hit straight it's easy to put your balls in a rough area. Chipping out can be a bitch too.
OOOPS, running late, got to go for now Lou. Hope you stay on board for a bit. Nobody to play with as of late and it gets boring playing with myself all the time. Just hope that things will eventually heat up here so you and me can tease each other some more. Lets hope.
hope this helps u guys out, looks like its right up y'all's alley
time to really get your money back & then some, i wonder if rudy is in already?!!!?
“Screaming Buy: The Next Coca Cola!”
“From a Small Family-Owned Business in Rural Asia, My Top-Secret Stock Recommendation is Building a Global Beverage Empire!
“My top-secret stock recommendation is hardly a household name. The company started out as a tiny family-owned business in rural Taiwan in 1991. After moving to China, the firm has enjoyed eye-popping growth rates (net revenues up an insane 60% quarter over quarter!) for years.
“A steady stream of competitors have entered the Chinese beverage and noodle (the company is also dominating the lucrative noodle market in Asia) market. Prices for raw materials in China have been volatile. And Coke and Pepsi have stepped up their marketing and merchandising efforts. But nothing appears to be able to slow the growth rates of this little-known star. My top-secret stock recommendation is on fire!
“Their secret is economies of scale. My top-secret stock recommendation has established production centers by region and local sales bases throughout the entire country. While Coke and Pepsi depend on retail vendors for marketing and stocking goods, this company dispatches an army of direct-salespeople to ensure proper store presentation and display to achieve its sales goals.
“The Chairman of my top-secret stock recommendation is quite a character. This eccentric wild man just happens to be a self-made billionaire with a track record of making outlandish sales and revenue projections, and then hitting those targets.
“He recently issued a very public challenge to Coke, vowing that his company is on the road to becoming the world’s largest beverage company!
“I’m absolutely convinced… This Growth Rocket is a 10-Bagger!”
