SEC charges two with stock fraud
E-mail | Print | RSS Feed | Disable live quotes
By Robert Schroeder, MarketWatch
Last Update: 4:10 PM ET Apr 6, 2006
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission charged two New York men with securities fraud and froze their assets Thursday, alleging the individuals used the Internet to manipulate the market for 24 microcap stocks.
The defendants, Faisal Zafar and Sameer Thawani, in some cases linked their fraud to concerns about terrorism and health epidemics, the SEC said.
In one case, Zafar said an issuer was getting a contract from the Department of Homeland Security, just after the London subway bombings. He said another issuer was acquiring a company that produces "bird flu" vaccine, the SEC said.
The agency said the two men created at least 300 different Internet user IDs and used them to post more than 1,000 messages about the stocks.
The SEC is seeking penalties and repayment of $873,000 in ill-gotten gains. End of Story
CDSS closing the day verrrrry nicely. ))) eom
Stocklemon Reports on Smart-Tek Solutions
Stocklemon Reports on Smart-Tek Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:STTK)
The avian bird flu has created a new kind of epidemic that is widespread throughout North America. But it’s not a medical epidemic -- rather it is a financial epidemic. As Stocklemon focuses on Smart-Tek Solutions (STTK), we believe that investors should not give their wallet the flu, but rather flip this company a bird.
Apparent outstanding shares: 73,253,016 shares
Stock price today: 1.74
Market cap at today’s price: $130 million
Stock price two weeks ago: 30c
Stock price six weeks ago: 16c
Cash in Bank- Overdraft of $136,136 (yes that means negative)
What the Company Really Does
Smart-Tek Solutions Inc. purports to be a provider of security services and systems in the Vancouver area. Its website shows many lovely photos of the glass-enclosed high-rises that grace the Vancouver skyline, where it claims to be “a major provider of goods and services in the security technology” sector.
Yet, its most recently filed quarterly report shows gross revenues of just $756,811. Its balance sheet tells the tale of a company with many problems. The company currently has only $800k in assets and $1.66 million in liabilities including a Bank Overdraft of $136,136. Needless to say they have a going concern from their auditor.
Now all of a sudden, one brilliant day last November, the company hatched the idea of going into the avian flu business. Not just the regular old ho-hum avian flu business, mind you, but the avian flu business in China !
Never before have we heard of this business from the company. Neither did they spend ONE DOLLAR on research and development. Now a company with a $136,000 bank overdraft is going to put an RFID tag on every chicken in China.
This should come as no surprise -- before the company was called Smart-Tek, it was called Royce Biomedical, Inc. (OTCBB:RYBO) who used spam to promote selling drug diagnostic kits in China (needless to say nothing came of that claim either.) http://www.aegis.com/news/Lt/1996/LT961003.html
This is where it gets interesting
On November 14, the company signs a deal with SES Investments of China to distribute this “mystery technology”. The deals calls for a revenue split between the two companies.
http://www.primezone.com/newsroom/news.html?d=89717
Mr. Goodwin Wang is the managing director of SES and he is quoted in the next 10 press releases and seems to be the human gateway to China.
Who is Goodwin Wang?
Last we heard of Mr. Wang he was a defendant in a class action suit against MTC Electronic Technologies.
http://www.gilardi.com/pdf/mtc2not.pdf
He seemed to have been the “point man” for that deal as his name was on the bottom of the press releases. MTC Electronics was sued by investors as well as the SEC. Guess what MTC got in trouble for???
A PUMP AND DUMP WHERE THE COMPANY LIED ABOUT DEALS WITH CHINA. THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH IS DIRECTLY FROM THE SEC.
Between 1990 and 1993, MTC claimed that it had developed a new telecommunications business in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") including agreements that made it the exclusive supplier of fax machines to the PRC, and joint venture projects to provide telecommunications services in various cities in the PRC. For each of its fiscal years 1991 through 1993, MTC falsely claimed that it had received millions of dollars in revenues from the fax machine sales, accounting for from 31 to 46 percent of its total revenues. In fact, MTC sold no fax machines in the PRC, and Miko deceived MTC's independent accountants by providing them with false documentation to support the fictitious sales. In 1991, at Miko's direction, MTC similarly began misrepresenting that it had concluded joint venture agreements that would make it the "exclusive" supplier of cellular telephone service to Shanghai and other major cities in the PRC.

NASD Warns the Public about “Bird Flu Containment Story”
The National Association of Securites Dealers knew that bird flu story would be an easy mark for stock promoters … so much so that they took the extraordinary step of issuing the attached warning:
http://www.nasd.com/web/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=NASDW_015780
Amazingly, in its warning, the NASD singles out, but doesn’t name, a certain company:
One example includes a fax stating a company "has the solution for tracking and containing the Bird Flu virus."
Smart-Tek has issued no less than 7 separate “bird flu containment” PR’s within the last two weeks, each and every one touting its “containment solution”. Nearly all of them have the identical language cut and pasted from one to the next, substituting locales like “China”, “Singapore”, “Vietnam” and “Hong Kong” to essentially the sane verbiage.

Conclusion
We could catalog how all the Vancouver-based directors involved in this scheme have been associated with other previous penny stock deals, or we could detail the numerous mammoth obstacles standing between this fantasy of a “business idea” and any actual business, but does it really matter? In this case, it is the opinion of Stocklemon that the epidemic of stock promotion has nested itself in the drama of the bird flu virus story.
Cautious investing to all.

The husband store
A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends
the flights. |
The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!" Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the Sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
=============================
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited ! !
==============
BTW Brig's floor is the BARGAIN BASEMENT.......but he did open a satellite office on the first floor of the New Wives store! LOL!
in CDSS on their news...Citadel Security Software Receives $400,000 Contract From New Government Agency Customer
PR Newswire - March 24, 2006 2:46 PM (EDT)
Jump to first matched term
Contract is for Citadel Hercules(R) Vulnerability Management Solution
DALLAS, March 24, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Citadel Security Software Inc. (Nasdaq: CDSS), a leader in enterprise vulnerability management and policy compliance solutions, announced today that it has received an order from a major systems integrator for a civilian government agency for its flagship product, Hercules. The contract is valued at approximately $400,000, and includes Hercules Enterprise Software, Hercules Security Appliances and training and support services.
Citadel Security Software's Enterprise Vulnerability Management solutions are used in several crucial government agencies, including throughout the Department of Defense and Veterans Administration. This is the second new governmental agency that has contracted for Citadel's Hercules in the past 30 days. The first contract, valued at $5.2 million for the initial order, was announced earlier this month. This activity demonstrates the US Government's increasing commitment to secure our nation's infrastructure using best of breed technology.
"We see this expanded involvement with the government marketplace as a strong affirmation of the importance of a comprehensive vulnerability management solution, particularly when dealing with mission-critical information," said Steve Solomon, CEO, Citadel Security software. "We are honored to serve this important customer, and look forward to furthering this customer's success in enhancing the security of its systems."
As government organizations become more vigilant in minimizing security risks and ensuring an efficient way to audit policies and track compliance, Hercules can help, protecting an organization's network against all five classes of vulnerabilities -- software defects, unsecured accounts, unnecessary services, mis-configurations and backdoors -- across a multi- platform, multi-device environment.
With the largest library of tested vulnerability remedies across Windows and UNIX platforms and interoperability with industry leading network scanners and vulnerability assessment tools, Citadel gives government organizations the ability to avoid problems, resolve issues in real time, and cut down on its remediation effort. Hercules allows the organization to import and aggregate data from multiple sources, review, approve and customize resolutions, and systematically deploy vulnerability fixes.
lol you guys have heard it before... >>>>POSTED: 3:39 pm PST February 15, 2006
LOS ANGELES -- Southern California home sales dipped to a five-year low last month as buyers waited out the real estate market's off-season, a La Jolla-based real estate information service reported Wednesday.
A total of 20,085 new and resale homes were sold in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, Ventura and San Bernardino counties, according to DataQuick Information Systems.
That was a 30.6 percent drop from December and a 7.4 percent dip from January 2005.
In Los Angeles County, 6,761 homes were sold with a median price of $487,000. The median price of the 7,633 homes sold in January 2005 was $414,000, the service reported.
There were 2,594 home sales in Orange County last month, with a median price of $582,000. That compares with 2,903 sales in January 2005, when the median price was $534,000.
While a drop in sales between December and January is normal, last month's sales were the lowest for any January since 2001, when 18,010 homes were sold, according to DataQuick.
"Trends in January and February are notoriously bad at predicting upcoming activity," said Marshall Prentice, DataQuick president. "Is the market taking a breather? Or is it starting to tumble? It's impossible to say. There's nothing really ominous in the numbers, but we won't know for another couple of months."
