Well you know the answer to that -- same reason most of these people get virtual offices with fancy addresses: to lend them legitimacy.
Yes that is my take too. The whole sex-change thing was just a joke by me.
The extra $900 special assessment is what gets you. Evidently Caroline had a sex change prior to being arrested:

Nice. Mackie Barch is quite the winner.
by jack-booted thugs of course. duh. That is how all conspiracy theories end, although this time the thugs are the 'good guys'.
It is a very good FAQ. I learned that despite my experience over the last few years, OTC stocks do not trade premarket. Thank you wolfie!
And Henthorn gave himself an extra week to get all the prior financials out, nevermind that he said he would have them out last week. I guess audited financials for BCCI are like hovercars -- always in the future.
June 5th:
Cusimano's BDPS hasn't put out a really successful promotion for over a year or two. And even if he had there just aren't as many traders looking to buy pumps anymore. The traders that bought pump and dumps have been scared by the death of Awesomepennystocks and the large number of SEC suspensions over the last 1.5 years. You can really see it in the much lower volume that even large budget mailer pumps do nowadays. So the value of his websites is not great.
"[Eric] Cusimano is 32. Home addresses for the three defendants and the ages of Boye and Jessica Cusimano were not available Friday."
Jessica also has a 4 year old son.

A quick assessor search shows that neither the Cusimanos nor Boye own any real estate in their county: http://www.chau-assessors.org/search.asp
Article on them in the local newspaper: http://www.chautauquatoday.com/news/details.cfm?clientid=25&id=131285#.U6Bo_PldX75
I do not know the difference. IANAL. It is page 36 of the PDF I posted, "personal recognizance bond" is checked.
The Cusimanos took Copa Airlines flight CM 830 on June 10th to JFK. They were escorted by Panamanian police/officials.
Okay finally got my OCR program working:
Jessica released on ROR. According to the docket Boye is scheduled to appear before the court on June 24th.

Interestingly it is an IRS investigator who did the investigating.
There were two cooperating witnesses in the case against Cusimano & Boye:
Someone didn't do his DD and read what this message board is about.
You are the weakest link. Goodbye.
Also indicted in the 5/19/2014 sealed indictment were Jamie Boye and Jessica Cusimano. Jessica has been married to Eric for less than 4 years. Those who get indicted together ...

BCCI audited financial issues in Seattle Times
http://seattletimes.com/html/businesstechnology/2023784190_sundaybuzz08xml.html
Excerpt: (emphasis mine)
And this brings to 10 the number of marijuana stocks suspended by the SEC this year: SKTO, AEGY, WBXU, FRTD, FSPM, PHOT, CDFT, PTOG, AVNE, and CANN.
SEC Suspends trading in marijuana (hemp) stock WebXU WBXU
This morning the SEC suspended trading in WebXU (WBXU), a perennial pump and dump and new hemp company. This is the eighth suspension of a marijuana-related stock this year (the most recent suspension was of FRTD). WBXU was most recently promoted by StockMarketProfessor.com on May 22nd. The first compensated pump email I received on WBXU was from Awesomepennypick.com on March 29th, 2013.
From the SEC PR:
Baristas Coffee, where the milk in your latte is always fresh!
Thanks for the explanation, Janice. That is weird.
MDDD came back from the grey sheets too.
It is my understanding that they are not a promoter but only track pumps, like pumpsanddumps.com, hotstocked.com, and stockpromoters.com. I have been aware of ThePumpTracker.com for about a year if not longer.
Of course that is still an insane valuation.
Do you have the case numbers or info on what courts that lawsuit was filed in?
So did George Sharp buy ARSP just so he could sue the company, considering Janice's article was posted on his Pumpsanddumps.com website?
Bought $ARSP today.

Why SPLI is down today according to The Wolf of Weed Street
Wolfie and I studied together at Harvard Business School a decade ago. He spent five years as an analyst with Goldman Sachs. He is definitely a legitimate and qualified individual.
Oh wait nevermind he's just some dude who writes under an alias. As the article says, he quit his day job a few months ago and he likely has zero relevant experience.
(Disclosure: The first paragraph is completely false)
They should've talked to CDFT.
