STEVEN YEHUDA MOSKOWITZ wins and JAY PATRICK BOOTH of RHome, TX loses in SPNG.
Simple FACT.
$spng the content and context of the post is bs
STEVEN YEHUDA MOSKOWITZ just said that the SEC is still flyspecking it.
Once it's filed with the SEC on EDGAR, JAY PATRICK BOOTH will be legally free to sell his massive SPNGQ share holdings and afford a Greyhound bus ticket to Queens to admire the wonderful teak, mahogany, oak, cedar, and redwood Alamo facade--style pergola that STEVEN YEHUDA MOSKOWITZ had built for his wife, MINDY MOSKOWITZ.
It is a shrine to all those whose munny was flushed into the SPNGQ scam.
Perhaps STEVEN YEHUDA MOSKOWITZ could even sell JAY PATRICK BOOTH a counterfeit ticket to a bleacher seat for a Mets home game - at a slightly reduced price, of course, as a form of reparations.
Butt fear knott, JAY PATRICK BOOTH has sent letters to Steve Mnuchin who I'm shure is all over the matter as a top priority.
Mnunchin's been working on it for THREE YEARS now, so DatMunny gonna be a'comin' anytime now.
Fur Shirley.
JAY PATRICK BOOTH has it all handled.
Welp, except the FOIA request screw up!
And STEVEN YEHUDA MOSKOWITZ's gift to MINDY MOSKOWITZ of a brand new Alamo facade-shaped pergola!
The Moskowitz's pergola is fan-tas-tique! Looks like the Alamo right there in Flushing, NY. Beautiful teak and mahogany with some oak and redwood. Magnificently stained and sealed. Something to stop and see on a trip to NYC.
For those SPNG shareholder-victims who have lost munny in this scam and are nott on the court restitution list (as JAY PATRICK BOOTH is NOT), if you want to know about stale claims from the SPNG scam, contact Jay Booth who is the only one still tilting at the SPNG windmill

You can use PACER to retrieve his numerous letters to various judges in various courts and such over the many years, to no avail whatsoever. PACER is free as long as you don't download more than $15 in searches and pages per quarter.
Or just ask Jay, he ought to be able to email them all to you, including his most recent failed FOIA request.
You won't be able to gett any munny of course, butt the reading is worth it for the laffs alone.
Don't expect any munny from JAY PATRICK BOOTH, based on what the internet indicates:
https://www.mylife.com/jay-booth/jayatthelake2003
However, even if one strikes ~OUTT with JAY, you can send a refund request to MINDY MOSKOWITZ - the CONtact info is in the iBox. You won't gett any munny there either, butt sometimes just sending a refund demand can make one feel better about the loss.
Mindy Moskowitz has a much better report on the internet than JAY, so prolly a better chance she'll reply to your request.
https://www.mylife.com/mindy-moskowitz/e615708484998
Butt JAY PATRICK BOOTH doesn't care, because he didn't even submit a claim to the restitution list. He's nott even on it!
So, yeah, JAY PATRICK BOOTH is part of the problem.
Butt it doesn't matter because STEVEN YEHUDA MOSKOWITZ ain't gonna pay more than a fraction of a penny on ther $12M. So making it twice that makes ZERO difference.
"Thanks for the munny, Jay! We're gonna take much better care of it than you did!"
"Yes, your Honor, I stole Jay's munny and yes I plan on keeping it."
Yes, it was $52 million, jointly and severally. So yes, if Steven were to pay the $24 million of that which he admitted to stealing, he would have continued liability if other defendants had not paid their share.
I just think that it is lunacy to admit to stealing $24 million, only to have the judge Order that $12 million must be paid, because that was all that victimized shareholders claimed.
Shareholders should not be required to self-identify, when the law requires that a list of shareholders must be provided in a corporate bankruptcy proceeding.
Introduction of facts into crazy, imaginary CONspiracy theories ruins all the fun!
Wasn't the SEC judgment against Moskowitz and Metter somewhere around $52 million?
Steven admitted to stealing $24 million. He was Ordered to pay the amount injured investors claimed, which was only $12 million. If he was worried about Tepfer's extortion attempt, I don't think that he would have gone to the FBI and again agreed to take part in yet another sting operation.
For Tepfer to want $1mil and ultimately $7mil from Moskwitz, he must have some knowledge of Mosko hiding ill gotten gains. Tepfer may have info since they were former business associates. Pure speculation but it seems weird that Tepfer would try to get that much from someone who supposedly has none.
"Prosecutors say Moskowitz told the FBI in February 2017 that Weissman approached him and said Tepfer wanted $1 million or he would go to the authorities with incriminating information. The demand eventually rose to $7 million, according to the government."
So the FBI can direct resources toward a $7 million extortion attempt by insiders, but still haven't done anything about the $390 million stolen from shareholders by members of the SpongeTech Stock Distribution network who were not company insiders.
Thanks, dalessan!
Atty Cops Plea In Extortion Case Tied To Pump-And-Dump
By Stewart Bishop
Law360, New York (June 12, 2019, 8:34 PM EDT) -- A Long Island personal injury attorney on Wednesday admitted to taking part in what prosecutors say was a scheme by a convicted securities fraudster to try to extort $7 million from a former co-defendant and launder the funds through a religious charity.
At a morning hearing before U.S. District Judge Dora Irizarry in Brooklyn, Mark "Meyer" Weissman, 55, of Lawrence, New York, copped to conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, namely, the enforcement of a $12.7 million restitution order against Weissman's friend Andrew Tepfer, who was convicted along with several others of a $21 million pump-and-dump scheme involving Spongetech Delivery Systems Inc.
Prosecutors say Tepfer enlisted Weissman, along with Queens rabbi Igal Haimoff, to aid him in a plot to shakedown former Spongetech Chief Financial Officer Steven Moskowitz. Tepfer used Weissman as a go-between to convey a threat to Moskowitz that Tepfer would go to the authorities with unspecified incriminating information if he wasn't paid as much as $7 million, according to the government.
"I'm sorry for getting involved in this at all," Weissman told Judge Irizarry. "It was wrong for me to seek to help a friend by violating the law."
Prosecutors and Weissman's lawyers estimate he's facing an advisory sentencing guidelines range of six to 12 months in prison. However, Judge Irizarry, who has final sentencing authority, wondered aloud whether a downward adjustment to the guidelines for playing a minor role was warranted and noted the lack of an upward adjustment for abuse of a position of trust.
Weissman waived his appeal rights as long as any term of imprisonment imposed is a year or less.
Prosecutors say Moskowitz told the FBI in February 2017 that Weissman approached him and said Tepfer wanted $1 million or he would go to the authorities with incriminating information. The demand eventually rose to $7 million, according to the government.
Moskowitz, who with Tepfer is jointly and severally liable for the $12.7 million in restitution from the pump-and-dump case, exchanged texts and had a series of recorded meetings and phone calls with Weissman in which they talked about how to transfer the money without it being diverted to satisfy the judgment.
Settling on a purported plan to have Moskowitz transfer the money through associates in Switzerland, Tepfer — who has pled not guilty — is said to have recruited rabbi Haimoff to funnel the cash through his charity, under the guise of a donation to fund the construction of a yeshiva.
As part of the alleged rouse, Weissman and Haimoff — who in February copped to money laundering conspiracy — crafted fake communications that were exchanged with Moskowitz's "Swiss" contact, who was actually an undercover FBI agent, according to the government.
An attorney for Weissman, Henry Mazurek, declined to comment after the plea hearing.
In a statement, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Richard P. Donoghue, said Weissman attempted to impede restitution for victims of a massive fraud.
"This office will vigorously prosecute corrupt attorneys who assist in violations of the law," Donoghue said.
Weissman is due to be sentenced on Nov. 4.
Tepfer dodged any prison time for the underlying Spongetech fraud case, but was ordered to be held jointly and severally liable for the $12.7 million restitution order. He is currently in custody for violating the terms of his bail in the current case, and potentially faces further penalties for violating his probation.
The government is represented by Nathan Reilly of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York.
Weissman is represented by Henry E. Mazurek and Evan Lipton of Meister Seelig & Fein LLP.
The case is U.S. v. Haimoff et al., case number 1:18-cr-00524, in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

I had 50k shares with a broker that got bought out by wang. Wang ate my shares years back. Etrade still shows my 102k with them. Whatever happened to settlements and investors cases?
When will Jay Booth bring the notorious SPNG blue sheets and scan and post them online?
Is he hiding something?
Was a time back. Can't even remember. That's about the time I started trading in the Penny market. Oh the memories indeed.
Man, I remember this stock way back in the day.
STEVEN YEHUDA MOSKOWITZ has a new pergola. Jay Booth just has LOSSES.
Mosky won!
And now it's DEAD. Oh well, it was a fun life-waster while it lasted.
It was submitted to the SEC. It concerned disgorgement in the SpongeTech case, such as was ordered against Dennis Ringer.
haven't been following recently
can you tell us a little about this FOIA request?
to whom?
about what?
thanks
Oops! Looks like JAY PATRICK BOOTH has some legal prollems of his own besides tilting at the SPNGQ windmill - if these are correct:
https://www.mylife.com/jay-booth/e64723270836
Don't expect JAY to get any munny from the SPNGQ scam. With that criminole history, if accurate, he's prolly an in-on-it.
Welp, gotta go work on the pergola now ...
I am likely to do that
If you send me a check for the imminent recovery I will convey my rights over to you, it's a win win.
Not staying tuned.
Great way to waste time. How about another few letters to Steve Mnuchin? And Judge Izarry hasn't heard about SPNGQ in awhile - not even a Christmas or Chanukah card. That's no way to build a coalition.
Meanwhile, MINDY MOSKOWITZ has a nice new pergola, STEVEN YEHUDA MOSKOWITZ has received 'potentially life-saving medical procedures', and their hovel in Flushing is having a facade done this Spring so it will look like a double-wide cheap imitation of the Alamo.
And the former SPNGQ shareholder-victims still have nott received the pork chops nor the donuts from JAY BOOTH.
Life goes on, butt the SPNGQ chuckles remain.
I had until Thurs, Jan 24th, to file an appeal on the denial of my FOIA. However, the online appeal form was unavailable until after the close of business on Fri, Jan 25th.
On Monday, Jan 28th, the partial government shutdown had concluded, and the online appeal form was once again available. I will have to submit an entirely new FOIA, if I choose to go that route again. I am likely to do that.
When will JAY PATRICK BOOTH bring the donuts?
MINDY MOSKOWITZ is holding an open-pergola party and we need those donuts.
Looks like it has seen better daze. That is a candidate for the dumpster. Didn't age well for only 10 years old. Looks like the polymer it's made of has oxidized badly. Prolly is brittle too now.
Only SPNGQ defrauded shareholder-victims getting any munny ain't never happening. The restitution list is closed. All shareholders who recovered any munny were on that list. The rest gett bupkis.
BTW, the pergola that STEVEN MOSKOWITZ had built for Mindy is looking fine. This Spring he's having a facade done on the front of their home in Flushing new Kew Gardens so it will look like a really bad imitation of the Alamo.
Mindy is also getting a PET scan ... for their dawg, Moses Mookie. They are putting him through a JFK airport scanner. He swallowed STEVEN's dradle.
STEVEN thanks the SPNGQ victims for the munny that is making this possible for him.
From June until October, I was repeatedly trying to get the SEC to answer questions in regards to disgorgement. This included the submission of a FOIA request in July which read, in parts, as follows: "Under certain circumstances, I believe that transferring disgorged money to the federal government, instead of returning that money to the investors from whom it was stolen, is nothing less than a conversion of shareholder funds. The circumvention of other investor rights may also rise from this practice...It is my objective to trace these transferred funds through disbursement by the federal government, and to inform the public of my findings."
(Re: Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552
Request No. 18-02641-FOIA)
I ultimately received an adverse determination from the SEC, and I have a right to appeal that decision by January 24, 2019. I have not decided whether to file an appeal, or to simply file a new FOIA, or to take some other course of action.
A bit of the back and forth discussion I had with the SEC is discussed by the SEC's research specialist in her determination letter. "By email dated September 28, 2018, I (the SEC research specialist) memorialized a
telephone conversation that we had on that same day, where you
were advised that your response failed to clarify the records or
information that you are seeking relating to “disgorgement” for
“2008 till present.” You responded by email on October 9, 2018,
asking multiple additional questions, but still not clarifying
what records you wanted. Your email also stated that “I want to
know all details regarding the SEC's recovery of funds stolen from me, and what the SEC has chosen to do with the funds they
have recovered, which should have been returned to me.”
Anyway, that process took up the last half of the year, for the most part. And it will take all the time going forward that it needs to take.
This Thanksgiving, MINDY MOSKOWITZ gives thanks for the pergola that hubby STEVEN YEHUDA MOSKOWITZ paid for with the funds he swindled from JAY PATRICK BOOTH and other SPNGQ shareholder-victims.
Mosky's next trick will be putting a facade on his Flushing hovel so that it looks like a double-wide trailer with an Alamo fronting.
So many sheckels and so little time to spend it all.
When will JAY PATRICK BOOTH bring the pork chops to the SPNG shareholder-victims?
All hat, no cattle.
Jay Booth will save all SPNGQ investors and get them full refunds plus interest. In fact, he will gett a judgement for all of their expected profits as well. The SEC will pay for all the losses and lost profits claims.
Jay's latest sternly worded letter is almost ready to send. All that is needed is for shareholder-victims to set up a GoFundMe to pay for an envelope and a stamp.
Jay Booth is still working on it.
In a search for a contractor to replace my roof I had 5 estimates provided from 5 different companies. STEVEN MOSKOWITZ of Renovex LLC gave me the best price by over a couple thousand dollars. This was too good to pass on, so I hired Renovex to do the job.
Steve immediately demanded 60% of the cost to be paid upfront. I was hesitant so I told him once the material arrives on site I would give him the 60%. He rudely told me "I am not a bank, and I won't lay out that kind of money." We eventually came to an agreement. The following day, 80% of the material arrived and so I paid him in good faith. That was my second mistake. My first mistake was hiring him in the first place. I was initially promised that the entire job would be completed in 3-5 work days. Over the course of 3 weeks I've heard one excuse after the other. It went from bad weather (which never came) to family emergencies, to sick days (6 in a row, with no communication) This company left my roof unprotected which lead to a semi-major leak in multiple areas of my home. I am currently in the process of filing a claim against his insurance, which I'm beginning to think is fraudulent. I have gotten no where. After over three weeks from the start date they were only competent enough to complete 45% of the job. I had finally had enough of the excuses and contacted Steve. I told him I have no other recourse at this point. I need to hire someone else to complete the job. His response was, "Why didn't you tell me that my workers haven't been there in over 5 days? You are just trying to steal my materials and I will see you in court!" As if I'm responsible for managing his labor force. Save yourself the headache, don't use Renovex LLC for ANYTHING! It was a waste of my time and money in the long run. It was the least professional management I've ever dealt with in my entire life. PLEASE DON'T BE TEMPTED BY THE LOW COST, IT IS A FACADE THAT IS WELL WORTH AVOIDING!
