yeah, I realize that, it was just a rhetorical question, since I also was not sure how far the Toups apple had fallen from the tree when you first asked.....but as someone who was once associated with Stanton, I was skeptical (also since he was still involved in penny stocks)....just didn't have anything too concrete to show it at the time....

now it seems we have more evidence that the apple did not fall very far at all......shocker.....

peace out!!!!

1. I had asked about Michael, not the father, and you did not provide any information that was unknown to me.

2. I also never defended M. Toups.

3. I have no position in LPH and have not had one in a long time.

re: "how do you feel about Toups now????"

[MorningLightMountain]

how do you feel about Toups now????

(he has 14 mentions in this LPH piece)

http://seekingalpha.com/article/1092561-longwei-petroleum-the-most-brazen-china-based-u-s-listed-rto-to-date?source=feed

The following photo of the entrance to LPH's corporate office (where CFO Mike Toups claims to spend half the year working) was taken from our Camera 2 on December 2, 2012:


Mr. Gentry then asks LPH CFO Mike Toups:

"To what extent have you verified what we're seeing on the ground what we're told in the financials is accurate?"

Mr. Toups replies:

"Dave, I've spent a considerable amount of time here in Taiyuan City working with the company, working with the management. I've really rolled up my sleeves in terms of understanding the financials…"

Mr. Toups then announces that LPH would set up webcams on its new website so investors could view the facilities and see the tanker trucks fueling. Nine months later, after repeatedly making excuses for delays

Our video surveillance proves that CFO Mike Toups' claim of 50-60 trucks per day fueling at LPH's Taiyuan facility is an outrageous exaggeration that Mr. Toups should be well aware of every time he visited the nearly idle Taiyuan facility. The real reason LPH never installed the webcams is because they have no business to film, as we observed during our 7 weeks of time-lapse video surveillance. LPH is defrauding its investors, just like China Integrated Energy, only on an even larger scale.

Prosecutors said Stanton drained the company of at least $43 million, directing cash to himself or shell companies he controlled

Will there be any attempts to go after whatever monies that are available in the pinks that he got involved with?

There's still 161M preferreds held in his name that RNDR is trying to get back.

Jurors find former Cast-Crete president Stanton guilty in tax case

By William R. Levesque, Times Staff Writer
Posted: Dec 17, 2012 05:24 PM

http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/stanton-found-guilty-in-tax-case/1266521

TAMPA — John D. Stanton III's attorney told jurors his tax case was about the envy of enemies upset at his enormous success as president of Cast-Crete Inc.

A jury instead sided with prosecutors who said the case was about something else: greed.

Jurors deliberated four hours Monday before returning a guilty verdict against Stanton on eight charges that he failed to file corporate and personal income taxes in the last decade and obstructed the IRS even as the Seffner building-supply company earned record profits.

Stanton, 64, stared straight ahead, showing no emotion as a clerk read the verdict. In court behind him, his pregnant girlfriend quietly sobbed, covering her mouth with a hand in shock.

Stanton, jailed as a flight risk since his September arrest, turned in his chair and told supporters, "Stay positive."

U.S. District Court Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington scheduled Stanton's sentencing for March 7 and could impose a prison term of up to 10 years. Stanton's son said the family expects an appeal of the verdict.

"He's a good person," said the son, John D. Stanton IV. "And I love him."

Shea Hughes, whose father, Ralph Hughes, was chairman of the board at Cast-Crete until his death in 2008, said he was saddened by the ruin of Stanton, a man he once respected.

"I think it's a shame that so many people got hurt," said Hughes, who had not worked for Cast-Crete before his father's death but now serves as its president. "I think justice was done."

Hughes, 51, said he will never understand why Stanton decided to ignore the taxes and take the path he did. "I don't think John understands either," he said.

The elder Hughes was a power in Hillsborough County politics, using his money and influence to back candidates who supported small government and low taxes.

Cast-Crete is today on the rebound, though its current revenues of $24 million are a far cry from its peak of $150 million a few years ago. It employs 135 people, down from 450.

This year, the company expects to earn a profit of $2.5 million. But the IRS will get every penny of profit this year and for years to come, Hughes said, until it recovers $140 million owed in back taxes, interest and penalties.

Prosecutors said Stanton drained the company of at least $43 million, directing cash to himself or shell companies he controlled. With payments to Ralph Hughes, prosecutors said, Cast-Crete was near bankrupt with nothing left to pay the IRS.

But rather than shutter the company, force layoffs and auction assets, the IRS allowed a new management team headed by Shea Hughes to bring Cast-Crete back from the brink.

"This is a case about greed," prosecutor Matthew Mueller said in his closing argument. Mueller, who tried the case with lead prosecutor Robert Monk, told jurors that Stanton failed in the "simplest, most basic obligation of our nation's tax laws."

Stanton's attorney, Paul DeCailly, told jurors his client rightfully earned the money he took out of Cast-Crete as a part-owner. He scoffed at prosecutors' mention of luxury cars and homes Stanton purchased.

"So what?" DeCailly said. "It's not illegal to own a new car. It's not illegal to own an old and beat-up car. ... He earned the cash. It was his cash."

He then added, "There is no evidence of greed in this case."

DeCailly sought to shift the blame for the unfiled taxes to Ralph Hughes, who also took millions of dollars from Cast-Crete as majority owner, and the obstruction of the IRS to the company's financial controller, who admitted embezzling funds from Cast-Crete.

Stanton testified the situation at Cast-Crete was so confused, including incomplete plans of a merger with other companies, he decided it was better to file taxes late than to file inaccurately.

As jurors left the courthouse in downtown Tampa, it's unlikely any would have taken time to admire the large, concrete panels adorning the building's face.

Cast-Crete made them.

Thanks Scion - Here is a quote from the link:

Special Intentional Flight

Intentional flight by a person after a crime has been committed is not,of course, sufficient in itself to establish the guilt of that person, but intentional flight under those circumstances is a fact which, if proved, maybe considered by the jury in light of all the other evidence in the case in determining the guilt or innocence of that person.Whether or not the defendant’s conduct constituted flight is exclusively for you, as the jury, to determine. And if you do so determine that flight showed a consciousness of guilt on the defendant’s part, the significance to be attached to that evidence is also a matter exclusively for you as a jury to determine.I do remind you that in your consideration of any evidence of flight, if you should find that there was flight, you should consider that there may be reasons for this which are fully consistent with innocence. And, may I suggest to you that a feeling of guilt does not necessarily reflect actual guilt of a crime which you may be considering

It looks like an error by the writer. The way that I read it is that those "properties" were all in bankruptcy and the cases were joined with the bankruptcy case of the official owner of the Cascrete plant - EME Modular Structures Inc.

Castcrete plant's sale before federal court

Castcrete plant's sale before federal court
By Mary Hurst
News Chief staff
Published: Thursday, October 18, 2012 at 8:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 18, 2012 at 8:07 a.m.

HAINES CITY - A motion has been filed in the Middle District of Florida bankruptcy court to approve the sale of the former Castcrete plant, 1603 Grove Ave.

The plant is owned by EME Modular Structures Inc., which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June 2008. Both sides have requested an Oct. 31 hearing date.

The perspective buyers are L & A Fusion Holdings LLC from Longwood, which has agreed to purchase the property at 1306 Grove Road for $410,000.

If the sale is approved, $61,034 would be used to settle bankruptcy claims and for lawyer fees. As for the rest of the money, $296,693 is due in property taxes, $15,000 in Haines City code enforcement liens and $37,273 due the auctioneer who sold the property.

L & A Fusion Holding officials could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Both sides have requested an Oct. 31 hearing date. The closing of the sale would be up to 45 days after court approval.

The property is owned by one of five entities owned by John Stanton, a St Petersburg multi-millionaire who was on the run from December until his arrest in September.

The Tampa Tribune reported at that time he is being held in federal custody without bail on a tax evasion charge. Federal prosecutors say he owes tens of millions of dollars.

The other properties included in the bankruptcy is EarthFirst Technologies Inc., Electric Machinery Enterprises Inc., World Environmental Solutions Company Inc. and Solar Diesel Corporation. Those cases were consolidated in July 2008.

Yes, I do. Whether they'll bother, I don't know.

We've yet to find out what's going on with this transition.

[js8797]

Don't you think Rounder needs to change their name? Rounder will always be associated with poker, Vegas, entertainment, and Stanton. It reminds me of when Allied Signal bought Honeywell, where I spent 10 years working after I left Cast Crete. There is still Honeywell, but no Allied Signal because their name was mud at the time. It just doesn't make sense to me to continue the name for a energy drink unless you market it to stay awake for 20 hours of gambling.

More Stanton fallout. This time, RNDR.

Rounder Inc. Announces Plans

WASHINGTON, Oct 05, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rounder, Inc (Pink OTC Market: RNDR) today announced its plans to increase the number of members on its Board of Directors and to hire a new corporate President, along with other corporate management. The Company has been actively searching for parties to fill available positions since September 16, 2012. An updated business plan will be prepared and once completed it will be made available for public viewing.
The Company's goal is to remove all vestiges of the John Stanton era along with any affiliates and or past associates. Rounder Inc. looks forward to a new era of profit and growth.

Former President and Chairman of the Board of Directors John Stanton filed a bankruptcy petition on December 13, 2011 in Tampa Florida. The case was converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation on February 22, 2012. The court appointed Larry Hyman as the Chapter 7 Trustee. By operation of bankruptcy law, the Chapter 7 Trustee is vested in ownership of all nonexempt property owned by John Stanton as of the bankruptcy filing date. The Trustee has taken steps to recover stock owned by John Stanton for the benefit of the bankruptcy estate and is also pursuing action to recover shares that may have been transferred to affiliates. On October 3, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court held a hearing in which it granted the Trustees motion for a preliminary injunction. The injunction will enjoin the transfer of stock owned by John Stanton. United States Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division - Case No. 8:11-bk-22675-MGW Chapter 7.

Furthermore Rounder Inc. intends to take legal action to disclaim the debt purportedly owned by Mr. Stanton's affiliated company and or companies. Action has been taken via a demand letter for the return of the shares or the money received and the value of the services given by any affiliated company or companies.

[Bob22701]

John Stanton had to spend his 64th birthday in jail.

He is just so misunderstood.

Is there a connection between this crook Stanton and Michael Toups (CFO of LPH and a few other companies)?

Michael Toups also lives close (blocks away) to where Stanton's last address in Belleair (in Pinellas County) Florida.

From post:

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=26921183

Looking at their last 10K (before they magically disappeared with the shareholder's equity) I noted Beere's CFO, none other than Norman Birmingham. While that name has bothered me since I first saw it in relation to ISBL, it wasn't until I read his long, resignation filled bio on the 10K did I realize who Norman was. They listed AACS...DING! DING! DING! THAT Norman Birmingham...good Lord...let the games begin...

That would be the same Norman Birmingham of the Neometrix fame, a company that simply stopped reporting, while Norman was CFO. As a matter of fact, here's some nice SEC litigation against Neometrix...www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2006/34-54646.pdf. Then he goes on to BMOO (which no longer trades) then there's AACS that had up to 250M shares then had a nice reverse split and once again its at 250M shares.

Why does any of this matter? Besides the fact that birds of a feather fly together, who was listed as an ex-officer on the Nevada State Banx and Green submission? Hmmm. Norman Birmingham perhaps? So who do you suppose is going to own the other 9M shares of BGGR? How long do you think before Norman becomes an officer of some type in BGGR, till the posse gets back together again.

It looks like a pattern.
