I don't understand some of the pessimism posted here. TRTC seems to be the most legit, well organized, growth oriented MMJ stock out there. It may take a while to get where it is going but that is only because there are so many opportunities and potential for massive, rapid growth available to it. In the long run it cannot help but reach a point where critical mass dictates massive gains for long shareholders.
What do you guys think of MDBX these days. PPS is rising but with its history, it is dubious at best.
Turns out G1 Execution Services (ETRF), formerly etrade's market maker division, processed 28.78% of all shares traded in August, or 840,392,885 shares in total.
Next up is Buckman, Buckman & Reid (BKRT), who is a market maker known to sell dilution shares, at 17.27% for a total of 504,245,129 shares.
Next is KCG AMERICAS (NITE) at 15.02% for a total of 438,528,738 shares.
Next is CITADEL SECURITIES (CDEL) at 13.65% for a total of 398,560,424 shares.
Next is CANACCORD GENUITY INC (CSTI) at 13.41% for a total of 391,510,020 shares.
A handful of others make up the rest.

Yes, please do post images! This is interesting information you have found may be critical to determining if this was a total scam or not.
Someone should pin this one for all of our etrade members
I have to agree given the volume etrade was processing. CRGP was not shorted into oblivion. Etrade was dumping hundreds of millions of converted shares as quickly as possible from Notes that were converted, just as Nobilis and Beaufort were. This is likely why the A/S was constantly being increased the week before and after the divi was paid out.
That's quite possible, and probable, Janice. The haphazard increases in the A/S certainly would support that conclusion. So what if some of the recipients of those convertible notes had etrade accounts and deposited them for conversion via etrade? Would that be possible? That might explain why etrade abruptly put a hold on the divis of anyone who purchased those shares, were the last to pay out the divi, and why many but not all those shareholders on etrade had their money put on hold.
How do you know this? What evidence do you have to support your statement?
I'm afraid not. According to COR's lawsuit, CRGP bought almost all, if not all, of those shares from COR. Therefore none of the shares sold to others were from COR. As such, the divi handed out by every other broker was legal and covered by CRGP before it was even placed in our accounts. The dispute is between COR and CRGP, who COR fears will run away with the money, and no one else. If anyone was unjustly enriched it would be CRGP. We shareholders were paid our divi with money CRGP had in hand, not COR money.
I know, it is very troubling but then again, if there was/is a problem with COR Clearing for whatever reason and CRGP was indeed working with the DTCC to resolve it, Adam's reply may not be out of line. If Adam fails to respond to the summons or his lawyers fail to register to represent him within that 21 day window then it is most likely we all have indeed been scammed and the ghost Adam has flown the coup.
lol, I know, right? It's nice to see my investment not losing money every day, unlike some others I have chosen, lol
Alas, that won't happen. Everyone is ready to make a quick buck and as long as that is true (eternity), there will always be people ready, able, and willing to go for broke (pun intended).
With $18,000 invested ($16,000 of which was divi) and 3.5 million shares, I can attest to this truth, lol.
Please sticky this post, replacing the prior one I have stickied. In the future I will post a new message to be stickied each time new documents are available, indicating what's new, to replace the old stickied post.

Let's triple the ask. I may need the funds to cover a clawback on a divi, lol
I haven't seen any change in my Ameritrade account either and several other Ameritrade customers who called them said that the agent indicated they had no information and were unaware of this being done.
Thus far it appears etrade is the only broker placing a hold on the divi funds. Etrade got burned badly not long ago on a divi they paid out before receiving the funds and then had to clawback. It is most probably for this reason that etrade was the last US broker, by several days, to pay out the most recent divi and probably why it is now placing divis already cleared and paid on hold...out of an abundance of caution. To be honest, I can't blame etrade for being cautious but I also can't support their most recent action on a divi that was already funded, paid, and cleared. If anything this will make people who trade in OTC stocks hesitant to use etrade in the future and I certainly won't be recommending them.
There are a lot of noob investors out there who get swept up in the frenzy.
well, everyone now is thinking pinkpanther is part of a CRGP scam because he hasn't posted since July 29th and he isn't answering private messages. He is being compared to momo and people are saying he is one in the same. They are saying CRGP was a scam perpetuated by the same folks that did SRGE. There is a lot of damning evidence. I wish he would share any info he might have on CRGP. So many people are going to be wiped out financially because of this. CRGP is now being reported on the grey sheets and is still halted. I pray pink is a good guy and not the evil bastard some are claiming him to be. Some shareholders could become homeless over this.
Does anyone have the link to the google map where the mine is suppose to be? I can't seem to find the place myself and I can't figure how to use the UTM coordinates in google maps.
Oh yes, she sent me the pictures, after being nice to her for a while, lol. cwazy lady!
ROFLMAO, I forgot about the half-man half-lizard dude. She also claimed her neighbor dumped kitty litter infected with Toxoplasma gondii into her yard causing her to develop worms in her brain and causing her ear to rot off, lol. There was one story she told about being pursued by an evil spirit out in the middle of the street so she summoned up all her psychic powers, turned around and threw an energy ball at him that encapsulated him and destroyed him, rofl. I have to admit she is the most colorful character I have known online and yes, she still posts on the Raging Bull forum.
Now Al Hodges, that is one guy I just don't understand. He swallowed the Leo Wanta money tale hook, line, and sinker, claimed he had proof that it was real and was allocated by Wanta to go to the CMKX shareholders or some such. Those same people who look for Urban's resurrection follow Al's every word and yes, he is still around. Every once in a while you will see a message from him being posted in the CMKX Facebook group. He is supposedly still pursuing the Wanta money. Of course, the members never hear from him directly. It's always a message from some of the worst of the CMKX decepticons like Jay Shultz, Fuddly Montoya, Tramp (who passed away) etc. Al is just insane, seriously. For a lawyer he has lost all his marbles.

Here is the latest from Al, posted on June 11, 2015:
READ MY LIPS - YOU WILL BE PAID WHEN, AND ONLY WHEN, WE HAVE ASSET-BACKED CURRENCY AND A SAFE BANKING SYSTEM TO GO WITH IT.
Please understand that I am NOT the Trustor NOR the Trustee; I have no power to change the Trust's provisions, nor to affect it in any manner. I am simply a stockholder-beneficiary as are each of you. I have no obligation, nor duty to any of you, except the duty and obligation to make this life for me and those I care about (and humanity in general) better, happier, more fulfilling, and more loving - one to all others; in the words of the Declaration of Independence, I have pledged my Life, my Fortune and my sacred Honor to do so.
I happen to believe and embrace the words which appear below my avatar: "All that is required for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing." I have tried to live my life accordingly. And, MLK was quite correct when he said "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." As a result, in no small portion attributable to my direct involvement in CMKX, essentially as a volunteer working off my own wealth, I feel more alive today than at any previous time in my life; in addition, I have learned more about the important things in life in the last ten years, than in the previous 50+.
Just for the record, I'm as sick and tired as all of you about the inordinate time lapse that we have all endured. However, it turns out that the 'cabal' was much more deeply entrenched around the world, especially the western world, than anyone fully appreciated; additionally, the cabal has been willing to do anything and everything imaginable to delay the coming dénouement in hopes of wholly avoiding it. They are responsible for "9/11," which is finally beginning to come to light; they are responsible for the fact that Washington, D.C. has operated our Republic as a corporation for the last 150+ years; they are responsible for hiding all of these facts from you; they are responsible for ISIS; they are responsible for attempting to ignite WWIII; and, they are directly responsible for much much more.
I have done my very, very best to keep you all apprised of the benchmarks of this long and arduous journey. In part, I felt it necessary to do so in recognition of the simple fact that you never purchased your stock with the idea that you were becoming one piece of a huge operation to free the world from centuries of financial slavery. The fact remains that such is the case. You have each played a pivotal role in freeing America, once more. Take pride and joy in such an accomplishment, and look forward to finally receiving your monetary reward with some measure of patience.
Please show compassion and understanding to your fellows - have a loving outlook when you resist the temptation to react with your flight-or-fight response. My very best regards to all.
ah yes, the infamous CMKX party. A date which will live in infamy. I wasn't able to make the party as I was too ill at the time but I did have a couple of grand in the company so I eagerly followed the event as it was going on. CMKX was my first foray into the pinks. The Raging Bull message board was impossible to keep up with as messages came flooding in. The crash and burn of the event began the inextricable dive of CMKX into oblivion. What fascinates me most about CMKX these days is the number of people who expect Urban to rise from the dead, reveal his hidden stash of gold and gems, and reward all his faithful followers. These are the same people who bought Iraqi dinars with the expectation that they would be worth millions when the global currency reset occurs. That is, if the schizophrenic that thought she was Leo Wanta would release the funds that the Bush family stole from her.
common core math? lol
That is certainly a valid question Janet but we have no info to indicate that it could be the case. If COR suspected Nobilis of being an accomplice you would expect them to be listed as a defendant.
You're making an assumption Janice. No one has actually gone down there to see if the mines exist or not so it is presumptuous of anyone to state categorically that they do not exist. A judge would throw that claim out the window if the only evidence is a google map image which may or may not have been recent.
Adam's letter to COR asked COR not to freeze or close Nobilis account. This was after Nobilis asked Adam to reach out to COR, so common sense would dictate that Nobilis was feeling threatened by COR.
Janice, what if a big acquisition was in the works that would require the issuance of new shares to the tune of about 2 billion shares? The rumors prior to the halt were that such was in the works so those shares may never had even hit the market. Now if that were the case and COR thought CRGP was dumping those shares in order to pay for the divi, I can see why COR might think that CRGP was trying to manipulate the market.
There is obviously a whole section of emails between CRGP and Nobilis that we are missing. So there is more to the story than we know and it is apparent COR was threatening Nobilis in some way. This story just grows in drama every day.
lol, even Janice is entitled to be wrong once in a while.
FINRA also stated that the funding was complete and the funds had been transferred to the DTCC and several brokers also stated that the DTCC had received the funding and was merely waiting for all the due bills to catch up. To be honest, I don't think anyone knew exactly what was going on, including CRGP, FINRA, DTCC, Nobilis, COR, or the brokers. This was such an unusual situation and confluence of events that nobody had encountered it before or knew how to deal with it. If anything it did reveal a gap in the process that allowed it to occur.
That's nitpicking Janice and you know it. The Nobilis note became due and CRGP had no choice but to convert that note to common shares. That is not the same thing as dumping company held shares on the market itself.
Following that logic it was COR's fault for not understanding the 25% rule and the impact it would have on the shares they were selling. COR did not report the hundreds of millions of shares as eligible for the divi to the DTCC and so did not receive it. However when they sold the shares during the ex-dividend window they were in fact eligible. Had COR correctly included those shares in its report to the DTCC they would have gotten the divi and properly passed it along to the buyers, which just happened to be CRGP. It would then have been a wash for CRGP because the divi it was paid would have been allotted to COR in the first place.
Agreed. We haven't seen CRGP's response to the lawsuit yet so it isn't really fair at this point to make a judgement one way or another. An unusual situation has occurred and that is why FINRA halted the stock. That is all we truly know at this point. The truth will come out eventually.
Those shares, according to COR, where not dividend eligible. So how could CRGP have "the apparent intention of profiting by repurchasing them and pocketing the dividend" if they were not dividend eligible? CRGP had no way of knowing who sold them the shares they bought or that the owner was dumping hundreds of millions of them on the market. They could just as easily been naked short sales. Only the broker who facilitated the sale knew who they came from and if COR didn't inform that broker that they were not dividend eligible then that broker could only assume they were and reported them as such to the DTCC. COR was negligent in not informing CRGP's broker they were not eligible and created this mess themselves. The only reason CRGP raised the A/S was because they needed the shares for the conversion of that note to the tune of almost 400 million shares.
Innocent until proven guilty. COR will have to prove that CRGP had intended to commit fraud and that is not going to be easy. Both the DTCC and COR are clearly at fault here. The DTCC sent a due bill to COR for shares that were not eligible for a dividend. COR paid that bill even though those shares were not eligible (rather, the DTCC debited their account) and the due bills were then paid by the DTCC to the brokers who bought and then sold those shares to the final owner, which happened to be CRGP.
CRGP had no way of knowing where those shares came from, only that they were deposited in their brokerage account, along with the funds from the due bills. CRGP had no direct interaction with the seller of those shares (COR) as everything would have been handled by the final broker, which is their job as a broker.
COR's beef should be with the DTCC and they should have loudly contested the DTCC's action. CRGP clearly admitted that it was an error and they were working with the DTCC to straighten it out "over the next couple of days". COR got impatient, having raised the issue on the 25th and then suing CRGP on the 27th. If anyone has ever dealt with lawyers, you know nothing gets done in one day. COR's lawyers clearly had been preparing their case from the very start. COR had no intention of letting CRGP and the DTCC straighten it out.
I see this case coming out in CRGP's favor.

Interesting Janice
If Pink is right and we trade again tomorrow then that would be a vote of confidence in the company by FINRA. The company could then resume its upward climb. So maybe we haven't lost everything after all.
