Hope all is well out there.
Nope. I was blindsided by the whole thing, unfortunately. I was sitting on my shares when Mark tweeted $250 million inventory run. I emailed him immediately to say he had made a typo. His email return stated, "the tweet was accurate as posted". Of course the DOJ, FBI, SEC, and Postal Inspector have all correspondence I ever had with Mark to build their case. Fascinating that a pastry chef would fabricate such a fraud that would ultimately land him in prison. I surely didn't know anymore then anyone else. I was generally excited at the prospect of a biotechnology, huge at the time, I found and jumped into. The rest is history.
Waiting for the sentencing of the fraudsters and hoping they go after Renne.
Mark couldn't sell shares my friend. He has a process he must adhere to which would have exposed the level of fraud. However the income taxes of the ppl I question would exposed the group I'm am suspect of. You are correct that it is just my theory. I am just attempting to make sense of why all of this occurred and who profited from this scam. 3 ppls lives are ruined, and for what? Mark knew his testing didn't work, but continued to this end. Fascinating, imo.
I only state the "inner circle " because someone knew the true financial health of the company and would have cashed in. Hell, I had 2.75 million shares that equaled out to 400k on that Infamous friday the financials were due out. That precipitous drop made me sell out ss a result. I did ok, but the ppl in the know, did amazing selling on that Friday afternoon, imo.
Good morning. I hope you are well. I absolutely do not know for certain, however the millions of shares Marks inner circle had, coupled with that accurate information concerning the financial health of the company, which by the way was totally hidden from investors, would have had them liquidate their shares while the pump was happening, reaping 100s of 1000s of dollars for them. We were lied to a purposefully deceived, so the inner circle could extract as much money out of this fraudulent business as the could before it's inevitable collapse. Dirtbag 101. Not rocket science. I hope your future endeavors are profitable and you take "the tour" to see Mark in prison and ask him for yourself. Have a fantastic weekend.
That sounds magnanimous!!! Looking forward to the closure of this long drawn out case. I would never have imagined it taking this long with the amount of evidence against Mark. I would love to know if he feels it was worth it for the money he was able to sock away for his inner circle, while he hangs out with Buba in the yard. Thanks as always for keeping use all updated on the most recent events.
I remember listing the charges and the corresponding prison sentences along with the accumulated fines. If memory serves, thinking (MAX) 200 years in prison ( if fullest extent per charge) and 5.25 million in fines. That was done for the disciples who to this day believe this is a bogus witch hut. BAM! Lol.
Was Mark actually sentenced on 1/30/23?
As I'm sure you are aware of most, if not all documents in this case state on or before 10/15/18. BAMM!
I believe I was instrumental in getting Renee thrown off being in charge of any company for some years, but I doubt I'm eligible for anything because I only initiated this process with the SEC submission 10/15/18.
Submission # 15396-642-544.
I grabbed my initial investment back, plus 20k. My all good just awaiting the process to play out.
If the doors are still open at ARYC, wondering how that $240 million inventory run is going? Haha!!! Stunning that owners make outlandish claims that would ultimately land them in prison. Justice is extremely slow, but hopeful not blind. Wondering what the end game was for Mark? Not getting caught? Knowing he would go to prison?
Thinking many here also contributed to exposing the fraud here over the years with No compensation from the SEC, DOJ, FBI, or Postal Inspector. Guessing they are taking the credit and ignoring the initial filings. Not surprised. Mark eventual prison term is more than compensation, if it occurs.
Appears Mark will never be held accountable for defrauding investors. He was successful in blowing up a fake business and extracting an enormous amount of dough. Crime pays. This can will be kicked down the road for eternity, imo. Lol.
Thanks as always. It sure is a slow motion train wreck. Highly unlikely Mark agrees to enter prison after he is sentenced to +20 years. Thinking he has another strategy, imo. But time will tell. Elizabeth begins her 11 years in April, I believe. I'm sure that disciple you mentioned will visit him. Apparently he still has hope. Which we both know is no investment strategy. Lol.
Hello all. Getting close now! Any updates are welcome now that we are, hopefully, in the home stretch with Mark's imprisonment. Not happy he had yet another holiday season, but ultimately justice will prevail. Too bad the Fed's never uncovered the fraud with the insider trading, that I must assume took place, with his inter circle selling off millions of shares whilst many otheres were buying them up. Cheers!
Got that right! Ppl will sell there soul to screw ppl over in this market place. That wheel of law is slow turning, but still turns. Hope they put Mark in the kitchen to show off his pastry chef skills. Pie anyone? Lol.
Elizabeth Holmes received 11 years for her fraud. Looking forward to Mark's sentencing next month. BAM!
OMG, some want this cycle to go around again. SMH. Utterly amazing, imo. Have fun wit dat.
If the wheels are turning again, any chance Mexico University gets the products they paid for? LMAO.
Thanks for posting. Looks like an abundance of pent-up energy here. This will fly with the next catalyst. Cheers!
I hear ya. We have nothing but time. Cheers!
These scientists suck at the business side, but they want our money. Geezz. Hope they get their shit together or I'm out.
I'm sure his new friends in the yard will be taking a tour of sorts! Lol. Couldn't happen to a better person, imo.
Not sure this will hit before the recession. Lol.
Cheers!
The challenging life of a sociopath. This just gets better, imo. It's seems Mark has no conceptual understanding of ethics, and whatever he is telling himself, seems to be working in his permanent delusionary state. Lol. All, but the disciples new reality would catch up with him. Prison imminent! Bam! Wonder how many hours he will get in the yard each day with all his new friends. Cheers!
I must agree. With Mark making false claim after false claim on Twitter. Did he really think was not going to prison? I'm thinking that some of the disciples must be sociopaths as well. Not much made sense here, other then his "tech" was trash, he knew it, and concealed it. Ultimately I'm glad justice prevailed. The interviews and testimony of his cohorts against him served him a slice reality that escaped him and his disciples, until know, at the end. Which many here predicted it would take this long for some. Thank you as always. Cheers!
Is Mark's incarceration a matter of public record with respect to where he will be spending his time? How many hours in the yard or his new gang affiliations when they arise? Good days ahead!
Imo, the SEC will NEVER uncover the extent of the inner circle's monumental gains. They just do not have the reach. However what they have uncovered so far, one can only imagine the dough that insider trading has yielded for the inner circle. One only needs to look what was sold on that infamous Friday. Camin island security. Shameless. They are living the life you thought you would be living being a part of the cutting edge tech, scam.
Wow Sloan! Thanks for sharing. It was quite an experience that soured many. I would like to hear from the other disciples as well, but smart money says they have moved on, and will not share their experience here. MikeCr and Delsurfer were here the longest and had no Inclination of the extent of the fraud here. Hope all enjoy the rest of our days now that this is coming to a close. Cheers!
Much appreciated. I don't invest too much time in investing. I'm not qualified to invest my own money. I don't wrench on my vehicles either. I leave that stuff to the professionals. My business occupies majority of my time. My TD mad money account fluctuates. Haven't added or taken any in years. The market is as bad as I have ever seen it. It appears we are heading for the toughest market over the next few years, imo. And with the current political environment, it may be considerably longer. Appears ppl like gas up and portfolios down for the foreseeable future, idk. Cheers!
I have since moved to NASDAQ/ big board pennys. No trust in OTC. I was fortunate to get out, but thinking many did not. Good day.
$12.5 k. I had just finished a large job, and had no experience with stocks on my own. Figured I would break off a piece and see what happens. Got in at .005. I look back and see how foolish I was. Geezz. Never told my financial advisor, thank goodness. He would have killed me. Cheers!
Not to my knowledge. His inter circle unloaded millions of shares that Friday knowing the fins were not coming as the sp ramped up. Absolutely his family profited. Wondering if the SEC has knowledge of who the inter circle is. More to come if insider trading plays a part for them as the SEC is up next. Quite an experience. Damn left coasters! Cheers!
Not bragging so much as telling a story over my experience/lack of experience. I held 2.75 million shares on that on that Friday was $400k it ramped up to .16 or something. Yes, I like many others, were pissed. I took action. I had no idea of the extent of the fraud, but absolutely shined a light on ARYC after that. When that $240 million inventory run was put out on Twitter, I was excited, now I'm excited he is going to prison. Hard for me to believe someone would put themselves in the position Mark did, imo. My lack of experience costed me plenty back then. Imo, Mark is responsible for the losses ppl sustained, not me. I left on principle, not knowing Mark had none. Cheers!
I was in! Right up to the Friday when the financials were to come out, and didn't. Sold that Monday. Made $32k contacted the D.C. SEC a time after that. Then the shit storm started. Dogged David Powers from the San Francisco SEC until they barred Renee from president, and slapped her with a $50k fine. I'm thinking lots sold out that day. When I was interviewed via zoom, sent the FBI, DOJ, SEC, and the Postal Inspector my file on every email correspondence with Mark. After my 2nd interview, I believe it contributed to their case. This was my 1st penny stock, I had no experience. Never thought Mark would lie on social media, because that is a prison sentence, hence this outcome. Life is good! Happy to see Mark is getting what he deserves. Cheers!
Haha! That sounds about right.
I'm sure the disciples are dumbfounded at the false claims and witch hut set out to destroy their head pastry chef and savior. Haha! Some defending him till the end. Omg. The rest of us knew where this was going. Glad justice was done here and Mark and Bubba will initiate a relationship that will last the rest of their lives. Now the civil suit. It would seem they will be going after Renee next. She is just as guilty as mark and knew the workings of the scheme, imo. I hope the fines that are levied are millions! I'll never be able to eat rubarb strawberry pie without I without a chuckle. Lol.
Did you change your format? It sucks!!! Stop f@#$%ing with it, you are not making it better. Geezzz!
Got cha. Thank you as always. Why are the proceedings not a matter of public record? It seems the Theranos criminal trial was more accessible.
Knowing the sentencing will not happen for months, at least it hadn't for Elisabeth, wondering when the $25+ million in fines be handed down. Betting it will take hours not days for the jury verdict. I will be looking to acquire the proceedings in their entirety. Wondering how the rest of the offenders will fare. And can the DOJ move forward with Renee? It shall be interesting to see how the remaining disciples interpret the unjust "witch hunt" against poor innocent Mark? SMH.
Wondering when the DOJ will finish grilling Mark with the huge amount of evidence against him. He must have an insanity defense, right? What else could he lie about. He is running out of excuses, imo. Time to pay for the choices he and his inter circle have made. Perhaps we will get an update this week. Cheers!
What would constitute a good ending here? The bag ppl are holding will turn into something that isn't $#!t? Astonishing that ignorance is bliss here. The DOJ, FBI, SEC, and Postal Inspector will assist the legal team to the end result of Mark's fraudulent practices. More than likely, what transpires in this criminal trial will open the door to further prosecution. But can't hurt to dream, right!!! Can't be something in the water out there, cause there is none. Looking forward to Mark's $25m+ in fines and 125 years in prison, accompanied by his inter circle.
Reality bites.
