Gee, no one exclaiming bid decreasing, no one buying at ask, no real liquidity (meaning no efficient trading the thing), lowest volume in about a month, and down about 32% today. But hey, could still put a paint out there for the 35. LOL
The only thing that really matters is that there is a separation of the SEC list and what MDGC is. I'm well aware of all the DD on this company (none of it being positive), including it's Scull status, suspicious trading activity, and new shares entering the market. But, what I've seen with this SEC "clearly dormant" list is statements all over the boards trying to give the impression that just because some "company" (very loose term) is not on it, that must mean it's ok. NOT.
"Trying to erroneously state or insinuate that because MDGC wasn't on the list makes this company OK or in the clear of many other type of SEC investigations was the "shuffling" I noticed.
The SEC list of long dormant stocks does not give reason to have any "shuffling" of responsibilities that this company has for it's reporting standards, accuracy, transparency, and coming through with all of it's proclamations that it hasn't done in years."
That would put me in agreement and suggest anyone to "do some DD" before holding or entering this stock.
Interestingly, the SEC PR stated "clearly dormant".
An initiative tabbed Operation Shell-Expel by the SEC's Microcap Fraud Working Group utilized various agency resources including the enhanced intelligence technology of the Enforcement Division's Office of Market Intelligence to scrutinize microcap stocks in the markets nationwide and identify clearly dormant shell companies in 32 states and six foreign countries that were ripe for potential fraud.
http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2012/2012-91.htm
Cassandra merely stated "long dormant" but it was just a descriptive term and it wasn't quoting the SEC. But one could quickly surmise just with common sense that it would have to be at least somewhat factual. Given that to "identify clearly dormant shell companies", they would have to take in some time factor of being "dormant".
But just for the heck of it, I randomly went through about 50 of them. Guess what, they all were "clearly" "long-dormant". Maybe someone else could go through all 379 of them and get some percentage of how many have been "actively trading" (opposite of or not "dormant") or have not been "long dormant". But as it stands, it was only a factual description and explanation of that it was a different process that wouldn't include MDGC. Trying to erroneously state or insinuate that because MDGC wasn't on the list makes this company OK or in the clear of many other type of SEC investigations was the "shuffling" I noticed.
The SEC list of long dormant stocks does not give reason to have any "shuffling" of responsibilities that this company has for it's reporting standards, accuracy, transparency, and coming through with all of it's proclamations that it hasn't done in years.
Suspensions just put stocks on the Grey Market and then needing among many other things a MM to get them off.
PIPI is still on the Grey Market, no reason to put them on any new list or suspend them again until they aren't on the Grey Market. There was at least one other stock on the same SEC suspension list that PIPI as ANWM was on that got a new CUSIP and even did a RS with a reorg. It's still on the Grey Market six months later with no trading and it doesn't even have the Black Scull that PIPI has.
Nothing to suspend here again at this point. To the SEC, a shell has all the baggage of the past no matter what numbers, letters, or flavors are changed or attached to it and is just one shell.
These things really do go on for a long time. The original criminal activity was back in 2005. Is this ringing bells for you? Some were dubbing Pritchard as the "cat man". LOL I remember the time, the "flavor" was green and diplomas were given to cats.

At least maybe not right away. But someone will do something, just might take a little more time, it wouldn't do to waste ripe shell pickings. I still say the pps should come down a bit before any pump a rump. Got to get it down for whatever deal on the note for old Gray and Co.
Anyways it couldn't have been Leslie, we all know it would have to be you that scared them off. LOL

Facebook Co-Founder Saverin Gives Up U.S. Citizenship Before IPO
By Danielle Kucera, Sanat Vallikappen and Christine Harper - May 11, 2012 4:58 PM MT
Facebook Initial Public Offering, Outlook
Eduardo Saverin, the billionaire co- founder of Facebook Inc. (FB), renounced his U.S. citizenship before an initial public offering that values the social network at as much as $96 billion, a move that may reduce his tax bill.
Facebook plans to raise as much as $11.8 billion through the IPO, the biggest in history for an Internet company. Saverin’s stake is about 4 percent, according to the website whoownsfacebook.com. At the high end of the proposed IPO market capitalization, that would be worth about $3.84 billion. His holdings aren’t listed in Facebook’s regulatory filings.
May 11 (Bloomberg) -- Results of a Bloomberg investor poll show that 79 percent of respondents say Facebook is overvalued at $96 billion. Dominic Chu reports on Bloomberg Television's "In The Loop." (Source: Bloomberg)
Saverin, 30, joins a growing number of people giving up U.S. citizenship ahead of a possible increase in tax rates for top earners. The Brazilian-born resident of Singapore is one of several people who helped Mark Zuckerberg start Facebook in a Harvard University dormitory and stand to reap billions of dollars after the world’s largest social network holds its IPO.
“Eduardo recently found it more practical to become a resident of Singapore since he plans to live there for an indefinite period of time,” said Tom Goodman, a spokesman for Saverin, in an e-mailed statement.
Saverin’s name is on a list of people who chose to renounce citizenship as of April 30, published by the Internal Revenue Service. Saverin made that move “around September” of last year, according to his spokesman.
Besides helping cut tax bills stemming from the Facebook, the move may also help him avoid capital gains taxes on future investments since Singapore doesn’t have a capital gains tax.
Exit Tax
Saverin won’t escape all U.S. taxes. Americans who give up their citizenship owe what is effectively an exit tax on the capital gains from their stock holdings, even if they don’t sell the shares, said Reuven S. Avi-Yonah, director of the international tax program at the University of Michigan’s law school. For tax purposes, the IRS treats the stock as if it has been sold.
Renouncing your citizenship well in advance of an IPO is “a very smart idea,” from a tax standpoint, Avi-Yonah said. “Once it’s public you can’t fool around with the value.”
Saverin’s estimated gain, and subsequent tax bill, would be based on an appraisal by his tax advisers. They could have valued his Facebook stake at less than it will be worth once shares trade publicly, reducing his liability. For tax purposes, Saverin could say that the value of his stake should be discounted because of the potential difficulty of selling the shares while the company remains private.
Zuckerberg Scuffle
Saverin previously scuffled with Zuckerberg, his Harvard University classmate, over his ownership in Facebook. Saverin sued him and settled for an undisclosed amount.
The 2010 movie “The Social Network” added to Saverin’s fame after it portrayed him as a scorned friend who provided the company’s early financing and then was squeezed out. In the film, written by Aaron Sorkin, Saverin was portrayed by Andrew Garfield, who will play Spider-Man in “The Amazing Spider- Man,” due to be released in July.
Saverin moved to the U.S. in 1992, and became a citizen in 1998, his spokesman said. He has invested in Asian, U.S. and European companies, according to his spokesman.
He plans to invest in Brazilian and in other global companies that have strong interests in entering the Asian markets. “Accordingly, it made the most sense for him to use Singapore as a home base,” Goodman said in the statement.
Jumio, ShopSavvy
His U.S. holdings include Jumio Inc., an online payments company, and ShopSavvy Inc., a price-comparison service.
Renouncing citizenship is an option chosen by increasing numbers of Americans. A record 1,780 gave up their U.S. passports last year compared with 235 in 2008, according to government records.
Income-tax rates for top U.S. earners will rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent next year and rates on capital gains and dividends also are scheduled to rise, unless Congress blocks the increases.
“It’s a loss for the U.S. to have many well-educated people who actually have a great deal of affection for America make that choice,” said Richard Weisman, head of the global tax practice at Baker & McKenzie in Hong Kong. “The tax cost, complexity and the traps for the unwary are among the considerations.”
Combatting Evasion
Some of the world’s largest wealth-management firms have ramped up efforts to fight tax evasion ahead of Washington’s implementation of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, known as Fatca, which seeks to prevent tax evasion by Americans with offshore accounts. HSBC Holdings Plc, Deutsche Bank AG, Bank of Singapore Ltd. and DBS Group Holdings Ltd. all say they have turned away business.
The 2010 law, to be phased in starting Jan. 1, 2013, requires financial institutions based outside the U.S. to obtain and report information about income and interest payments accrued to the accounts of American clients. That means additional compliance costs for banks and fewer investment options and advisers for all U.S. citizens living abroad, which may depress banks’ returns.
Facebook plans to price its IPO on May 17, offering 337.4 million shares at $28 to $35 each. The shares will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol FB. Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are leading the sale.
One never really knows how much or exactly what day(s) the insiders or sellers are hitting it. On the way up, at the top, and on the way down. But it will commonly happen with suspicious trading activity, which is what has happened with MDGC. Who knows how much of the trading was the manipulative part and how much was the new shares getting into the market, but obviously new shares are hitting the market and who knows how many more to come. The company is not very transparent that's for sure. But the Black Scull came shortly after the apparent dubious trading action.
MDGC now is late with their already late filing that states (or did state) on it's website that the late filings would be in the first part of this week. Now at the end of the week and nothing but the Black Scull. It doesn't really matter, the financials were already erroneous with the bulk of supposed worth in way over stated media credits.
The DTCC service restriction was already in place before the dubious trading and inflated pps, meaning dilution shares were already coming across the system and the SEC had already notified the DTCC which then prompted brokers like TDA not to let any entering of positions, only exits. Like I said all sometime before the sudden suspicious trading and rise in pps and the subsequent skull being slapped on and even more lack of transparency. Plenty of time to get the shares from the TA into accounts by other means other than the DTCC FAST system.
What one gets are nothing but rumors, exuberant statements from message boards and dirty internet alleys of "something big" going on.
This from a company which basically is one guy with a dozen or so rink dink company names attached that consists of reselling vacuum cleaners to installing a modem to a free service at some small deli. A service that isn't even his (which was supposed to be some gigantic city wide "roll-out").
The company name itself, MediaG3 hasn't ever even been listed in the local phone books, let alone known by many but message board goers. A 10X10 office space used for a cell phone charging station, mail, and every once in awhile a pre-screened appointment. I guess I can understand why to not pay the couple of hundred in rent for something like that and just vacate that also. But that little office was originally touted as some new and improved lab, and I guess it was since the address before that just looked at a roadside full of weeds, no such address. A typo I'm sure (cough cough).
What has happened is nothing for years that the Company claimed, but different times of selling and impounding of his vehicles, etc by tax authorities or others that have a judgement against him and are tracking him down. Then there is some settlement that may be involving shares, again no transparency from the company regarding these issues. But again all indications of funds needed by the individual behind the company (Val Westergard).
Now trading these things and trying to guess when the "big dump" will occur or if there is more to gain is precarious at best. One might win, but many times when some big red candle happens, one doesn't have time to get out with their skin and just looses to the gamble.
Investing in something like this is a total folly, just not wise. All the indications are that there will be more selling and with all of the dirt like MDGC been displaying, there is always a bigger seller somewhere lurking.
But, there may be only retail and manipulative trading going on at the moment and any big selling just ready to pounce on the unsuspecting retail like a cougar on a wounded deer in an open field.
But good luck.
You must of missed this post. Again, just because the DTCC denies one or more of their services, DOES NOT stop dilution, just makes it more of a hassle and more expensive which in turn just increases the possibility of even more dilution. MDGC sure reeks of manipulation for dilution. Black Sculls, restricted tickers, certain brokers not wanting to deal with them, no valid fundamentals, no valid address (last address consisting of a 10X10 office with a desk and two cell phones on the floor), erroneous financials, unexplained sudden rises in pps in a thinly traded stock, and the SEC informing the DTCC of dubious shares coming into the market are not signs of any "lack of selling by the company", but the opposite of that.
A nice post from nodummy on the DD board about GTCP (go to link for pics)
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=75466080
GTCP - what the heck is going on?
So yesterday Mackie Barch sold his 400,000,000 shares of GTCP to somebody named D. Melvin Swanson for $25,000.
www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1508933/000107878212001225/f8k050812_8k.htm
Mackie Barch paid $383,000 for those very same shares.
Why would somebody take a loss of $358,000 plus give up any other compensation they may have been receiving by resigning from all of their officer positions?
In my opinion this is because it would be impossible for GTCP to be involved in a highly paid promotion with Mackie Barch at the helm after all of the attention Barch's other shell, SNPK, received during its recent paid promotions.
The way these APS shells all link to each other it wouldn't surprise me if Barch some how ended up getting way more than the $358,000 he lost by selling his controlling interest in GTCP when everything is said and done. He does appear to be nothing more than a pawn in a P&D game being run by powers far greater than he. It appears that Mackie Barch is still owed $116,865 which as a former officer he will now have an easier time turning into a convertible debt Note.
--------
So who is D. Melvin Swanson?
The 8K provides a "bio" on Mr. Swanson:
D. Melvin Swanson (“Mr. Swanson”) is the sole member of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary. He is currently a senior partner at Ola Mesa Investments and has been since March 2010, where he is responsible for risk management in all aspects of the firm. From September 2006 to present, Mr. Swanson has also served as a strategic advisor and a member of the advisory board for Silica Management, where he advises on the company’s corporate risk in emerging markets. From September 2009 through March 2010, Mr. Swanson was the managing director of Stoneridge Investments, where he acted as the junior liaison in the risk management division, concentrating on equities, and managed the European Equities fund and bond division of Stoneridge’s portfolio. Prior to working at Stoneridge, Mr. Swanson was the CEO of Panther Consulting from January 2007 through September 2009, where he oversaw all aspects of Panther’s day-to-day activities, and focused on the company’s acquisition of oil and gas assets throughout North America. From August 2005 to January 2007, Mr. Swanson was a partner of CNM Management, where he managed the equities division and was involved in corporate finance and acquisitions and mergers. The Company appointed Mr. Swanson to serve as its sole officer and director, due to his several years of experience managing and running a business as well as his financial expertise.
Web searches using some of those named entities and D. Melvin Swanson turn up no results leaving this researcher to wonder how much if any of that bio is actually true.
The actual signed agreement for the sale of those 400,000,000 shows that D. Melvin Swanson is represented by none other than Carrillo Huettel, LLP
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1508933/000107878212001225/f8k050812_ex10z1.htm
Since Carrillo Huettel, LLP can be linked to so many former AwesomePennyStock companies as well as past Kirk/Skymark companies that should come as no surprise to anybody.
The address given for D. Melvin Swanson in the 8K is as follows:
D. Melvin Swanson
142-108 Elliot Street
Whitehorse, Yukon Territory Y1A 6C4
Whitehorse, Yukon being the hometown of Mr. Swanson should also be no surprise since Whitehorse, Yukon is the hometown of Douglas Roe and Karl Gruber of Oro Quest Inc. (both Roe and Gruber graduated from FH Collins High School in Whitehorse, Yukon - class of 1991)
The very same Oro Quest Inc that sold GTCP a worthless mining claim for $15,000 to allow GTCP to have a business plan to help take the shell public.

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=73137461
The same Douglas Roe that was a seed shareholder for SNPK through a business entity known as CHP Investments and same Douglas Roe that is strongly connected to Harry Lappa (NSRS) through GBEN and LUXE/SUNB. Douglas Roe was a officer/director of both the GBEN and LUXE/SUNB shells.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=74417576
Speaking of SUNB. In D. Melvin Swanson's bio he says he was the CEO of Panther Consulting for 2 years.
Could that be the same Panther Consulting that is currently serving as the IR firm for Sunbelt International Corp (SUNB)?
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/sunbelt-signs-agreement-to-provide-water-turbines-2012-02-21-9000
Same SUNB that recently listed Douglas Roe as its IR person in their last OTC filing:
Remember it was David Baines that uncovered the connection between SUNB and SNPK:
Scott Broesky former CEO of SUNB predicted that SNPK would be used for a massive pump&dump back in December of 2010, several months before it even happened, because he knew some of the people behind the SNPK P&D which included the Shull family for whom he worked for with NTRO and SUNB.
http://www.vancouversun.com/business/Baines+Sunpeaks+stock+soars+higher+still/6450490/story.html
So does this all mean that GTCP is one step closer to becoming a major paid pump&dump promotion like SNPK was?
Yes, mainly because Mackie Barch is now out of the picture, but they will probably want to take some time to wait for people to forget about Mackie Barch before the real pump&dump action begins. And IF that P&D action ever does start (may never happen), keep in mind that just like all of the other past pump&dumps that can be linked to GTCP, GTCP was set up from day one to be a pump&dump meaning that there are lots of insiders holding shares that they received for next to nothing waiting to unload during any future paid promotions including yet another Panamanian entity (Karev Investments) that can be linked to the same nominal officers used by all the past APS connected P&D companies:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=73395583
And I personally don't believe for one second that all of the seed shareholders listed in this old GTCP post actually own those shares and are not just holding them for somebody else.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=73187601
So now MDGC is a big pink elephant. I gotcha, makes sense, judging from the big piles of you no what the stock leaves behind. LOL
Great advice, watch where one steps with this pink MDGC elephant, don't play in the pile. I understand. LOL
Yea, 99.9% of the time, it's troubles for the CEO. Especially when the CEO can't substantiate anything he says. LOL
Well there you are all in the nutshell. Sounds like a form of dilution to me. Put with all the manipulative pps action as of lately on no public disclosure with nothing substantial or fundamentally validated and nothing but years of dubious statements from the company that have never panned out or officially verified, it's pretty much obvious.
We have a black scull at the OTC Markets (no, those don't get put on just because some financial is late or erroneous) and the SEC having the stock on their books who informs the DTCC of unregistered, non-exempt shares coming into the market (confirming dubious dilution), who then doesn't want to give certain services to MDGC.
And TDA has already made the policy of not dealing with any stock with problems getting any services from the DTCC. Good for them and the bottom line, good for TDA's customers. There sure is a very large array of other stocks besides problem child MDGC to trade or invest with.
It's called run, not walk away from this garbage stock, it just a folly ready to happen.
There was nothing "slick" about it, just some plain facts about DTCC services. Which service would you like to talk about? It doesn't matter, these DTCC services are just that, services from the largest SRO that handles the share transfers. Still won't stop dilution, just makes it more expensive and many times just creates even more dilution. If the least expensive services that are offered by the DTCC are not available, then it goes to more fees and more hassle, and many times even more shares (or less price to any note holder for example) to cover the cost. Some brokers will choose not to give their services or even charge more. Pretty simple and really doesn't entail any drama about it. It is what it is.
DTCC services like their DWAC (Deposits or Withdrawals at Custody) does not stop dilution at all. This is merely a convenience service with the DTCC (along with being the cheapest) and is not regulatory in nature. It only is more expensive with fees and makes it more of a hassle and more time for note holders for example to get the shares from the TA to their accounts when they can't do it through the DTCC service.
This particular DTCC service has been denied to many dubious sub pennies and there are some brokers that are self clearing like TDA that will not deal with them (ie: let one exit but not enter any position). It is each brokers internal risk procedures which have been applied with MDGC. I personally like TDA for that reason.
But it will not stop any dilution factor one bit!
It tees off a few note holders, creates more manipulation to get the fees associated with it without the cheapest service around from the DTCC, and may even create a larger dilution factor with stocks like MDGC, but definitely doesn't stop possibility of it.
Dilution happens regularly with stocks that have this service unavailable from the DTCC.
Gee, what ever happened to all that "experience" and "expertise" with the mining business? Just a few hours of DD on the internet can tell one the ridiculous "estimations" that this company PR'd ("they" being Peterson and his "experience" prospecting with his dad I guess). After a few days of DD, the PR's became just blatant whopper lies. Let alone making those type of CRWV PR "estimations" for someone like Peterson that supposedly was "familiar" with the business.
Now grant you, I'm a pro since I went prospecting with my uncle when I was ten and found quite a bit of real gold and old bottles. Of course when I got a little older, I found out that my uncle just put a bunch of gold in the dirt before he showed me how to dig there. But it was great "experience". LOL
May I suggest anyone to go back and read the umteen PR's put out in a few weeks time and just do a bit of REAL DD with mining and even though it won't help much with CRWV, it will help when it comes to investing or trading in other "gold flavor" stocks like CRWV in the future.
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=news&symbol=CRWV
Just a note, the last 5-6 months the "waiting" hasn't been for the results, but supposedly "in negotiations with flotation mills" since the beginning of this year. Of course there never was any proper validation for anything the company PR'd and has no current financials for any operations and nothing but old erroneous filings and very questionable and dubious share structure and business practices.
Now any "money" for anything (if there really was anything there, which in all practicality isn't) would have to come from more toxic financing, selling shares with a stock barely staying out of the trips with very little or practically nothing for liquidity. All which has been P&D by a Panamanian promotion crew who ruthlessly sold it down to end up at 98% down from where they started.
"Maybe that's why we are waiting for results...they way underestimated the time and money to get the ball rolling. Thanks for the support."
Problem is, that is definitely no evidence of any "expertise" (other than selling shares) and a just more evidence of bs. "Evidence" of "business expertise" is not a fluff PR made up bio statement and advertising things that never happened and just a farce. So where is all the proper "evidence" of Peterson's great mining abilities and running real mining operations or even proper legal exploration procedures and getting all the gold that was proclaimed by CRWV fluff PR's?
Where are the proper financials and statements of operations for CRWV, let alone all the "other expertise" that Peterson has done with all the other "mining business". LOL No, PR's from sub penny stink pinks are not "evidence" and neither are company's web page statements that are just copied from other scammy operations.
Very little DD reveals the connection between Peterson, Lindsey, and OWVI. Remember when;

One World Ventures, Inc. CEO Stephen Prior Resigns
One World Ventures (USOTC:OWVI)
Today : Thursday 13 January 2011
One World Ventures, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: OWVI) announced Mr. Stephen Prior, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, has resigned his position to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Prior's resignation is effective December 31, 2010. Mr. Ron Lindsay has been appointed the company's President and Chief Executive Officer & Chairman of the Board effective January 1, 2011. Mr. Lindsay, who has been a director of the company, will lead the company into the next phase of operation creating new opportunities and vision.
"I have enjoyed working with the OWVI team to bring the company to this point," said Stephen Prior. "As was always contemplated the company is moving away from its beginnings as a manufacturing company towards a technology driven foreign exchange remittance and social networking platform with diverse holdings. I have chosen to step down at this time and transfer my Controlling interest in the business so the Company can acquire additional assets and move forward and further enhance value. Ron provides us with a wealth of knowledge, he is an exceptional executive and I am confident in his knowledge and leadership, which will propel the Company forward. I will continue to provide support as a member of the Advisory Board, a diligent shareholder and a future customer."
"As we enter the New Year we want to wish our shareholders a Happy New Year and thank them for their support," said the Company's new CEO, Ron Lindsay. "I could not be more enthusiastic or optimistic about the Company's prospects from here forward. I look forward to working diligently on our current projects and agreements to acquire complementary assets that will expand the Company's potential. We are looking to aggressively accelerate our business plan in those areas we have been successful and take advantage of new directions that have very recently been presented to us."
The Company would like to announce that it has divested of the overhead heavy retail side of the Remittance / Foreign exchange business. As disclosed earlier this will immediately result in an increase in revenues and the business unit will be cash flow positive and have an ability to rapidly expand without additional Capital. Steve Prior will continue to oversee our technology/forex operation in Hong Kong & China reporting directly to Ron Lindsay.
The Company also has entered into an agreement to acquire certain Gold and Silver mining asset rights in Mexico. Not only does the Company believe these assets will produce amazing returns, the price of Gold and Silver has substantially increased over the past year and experts are predicting this trend to continue as the major currency valuations are questioned. The Company welcomes Dane Peterson to its executive team. Dane has substantial experience mining in the contracted for areas and will be the key leader of our mining interests immediately. Expect more detail of the valuations of this OWVI addition in future announcements.
We are confident about the opportunities the future holds for One World Ventures, Inc., and thank all of our shareholders for their continued support.
Jeez, they had the same phone and mailbox at first. Until CRWV put some other erroneous address, mailbox, and $20 virtual office number to it.
There is no real mining business here and was just another P&D that put Peterson's name on it. It was decided that CRWV was a better ticker than OWVI to pump and destroy. That ticker was already down in the dirt in the trips and with a lot of people that was wise to that game. So the Panamanian business went for a dead ticker that had a better pps starting point to take from. Wonder how many shares Peterson got for using his name and "familiarity" to the "mining business". LOL
Please folks, this is a GTCP discussion board, so lets keep the discussion about this stock. Thanks.
I was just telling BB that April was the lowest volume since Feb 09 for BEHL, over three years ago. But even then, the dollar volume back in 09 and before the PSC P&D was way more dollar volume. April was a low of about 18 million shares.
http://www.otcbb.com/asp/tradeact_mv.asp?Issue=behl&searchby=issue&sortby=volume&Month=4-1-2012&view.x=0&view.y=0&downloadname=mv201204.exe
The volume lately has pretty much dropped to nothing coincidentally since a certain paid promoter has exited (or is in the process of exiting) the building so the rumor goes.
Also a strange coincidence BEHL old connected insiders names have come back around with current SEC criminal actions.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=75196359
R/S? Well I've seen some strange examples, but can't place any at the moment which served "longs" any good. There was an example about six months ago in which a DTCC restricted stock got a RS and new CUSIP through FINRA, but problem is, it still doesn't have any 211 and is still on the Grey Market from a SEC suspension. No help and no liquidity there.
BEHL ticker is pretty much gone and quickly blowing away are the last few grains of dust with nothing but a disintegrating rusted fork left behind.
I just put on ignore I believe my 10th "compensated awareness" poster for the HHII board today. Had 8 or 9 ignored from before just so that I could observe and read, definitely wouldn't buy any, just watching the devastation of share price the last week or so. But when there is that much bs spam being done, shouldn't touch the stock with a ten foot pole, pretty much ensures that it's just one of the worst scams.
What's the thing got to do now, how many 100's of percent just to get to where the point was when they started the spam campaign? Been just steadily loosing value for some time now (except just a few days in the downtrend). Obvious more dumping will be on the way, with that many garbage posts.
But pretty nice when one sees hundreds of unread posts just to find less than a dozen to read due to the ignore function. Also lets one know what stocks to stay away from considering who is getting ignored. LOL
The stock and promoters just become a joke with that type of idiocy. Just looking for the most naive of suckers I guess, but hopefully the suckers learn fast and many that are limited with their ignores can just learn to ignore the whole stock as far as buying into it, just don't follow the clowns, and go elsewhere with their money.
I guess anything is possible with these shells. Gougers other shell is having a fight between the crooks and past shell owner has filed a law suit against Gouger. Not anything positive for current retail though.

He also is having problems with the new ticker and RS shares getting through.
But I would think it would be easier and cheaper to just reorg this thing into some other business flavor. Depends though, no normal retail really knows how "clean" this shell is and who are all the people really involved or how much involvement there is behind the ticker. The SEC has tired of no financials with only 8k (and a few other forms) in years and there hasn't been any record of any operations for the company so it's pretty much dark.
In the past, that may have been ripe for some shell business change, but relatively lately, the SEC has been stepping in and nailing some of the people behind doing it. Along with suspending many tickers for lack of current or proper filings. But MXXH has been "dark" so to speak for so long now, it would take a new business. MXXH is never going to make their financials current at this point, and only some supposed "new" people or RM, etc to get some junk unaudited filings at the OTCMarkets for the last couple of years may be the only possible option. But then they may have all the scrutiny of the SEC at their heals also and may have to remain dark for awhile longer.
Gouger isn't taking care of any oil wells, new drilling or old dead ones. Can't even be sure there is even any involvement at all with him here anymore.
Absolute zero transparency and pretty much a dead ticker for now.

Michael Chertoff: Cyberattacks Are The Biggest Risk Facing America
By Stacy Curtin | Daily Ticker – 2 hours 11 minutes ago..
There have been a number of high-profile cyberattacks on multinationals in the last few years, including Lockheed Martin (LMT), Northrop-Grumman (NOC), Sony (SNE), Google (GOOG) to Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA), among others. (See: Cyberattacks: A National Security Threat Largely Being Ignored)
A new, first of its kind report by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), estimates cyberattacks jumped 650% from 2006 to 2010.
Sixty percent of U.S. companies reported security breaches, according to the annual report which was commissioned by President Barack Obama last year to assess the country's ability to respond to natural disasters and other natural security threats. Fifty percent of "high-priority facilities" like those that manage the country's electrical grids reported having been attacked.
Cybersecurity was the biggest area of concern for state and local governments with only 42% of officials believing their capabilities adequate enough to respond to such a threat and 45% of officials said they had no formal program to prevent or fend off an attack, according to the report, which was released on Thursday.
Cyberattacks: "Biggest Threat We Currently Face"
Ahead of the release of this report, The Daily Ticker's Aaron Task sat down with former Department of Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff to discuss the threat of cyberattacks on the U.S. and corporations.
"This is the biggest threat we currently face," says Chertoff, now the chairman of The Chertoff Group, a private sector company that advises businesses on cybersecurity-related issues. "Not only is there a concern about our critical infrastructure… but we are losing billions of dollars of intellectual property every year that is being stolen and it is resulting in job losses and damages to our economy."
Such illegal activity put nearly $400 billion in research spending at risk between 2009 and 2011, according to a National Counterintelligence Executive report issued last fall.
The biggest threat from cybersecurity, he believes, is coming from China. "The Chinese government has a national policy of economic espionage in cyberspace. In fact, the Chinese are the world's most active and persistent practitioners of cyber espionage today," Chertoff wrote in a WSJ op-ed earlier this year.
Due to the growing prevalence of cyberattacks, it seems cyber-warfare and espionage could become the new frontier for global combat as well as economic competition, as Aaron points out in the accompanying video.
"For many nations, they view the economic well-being of the country as part of their national security strategies. They will use their intelligence agencies as a way to enable their companies, their national champions, to compete in the market place," Chertoff says. "We don't do that in the United States. We keep the free-market separate from government, but as a result sometimes we have our rivals overseas stealing our assets."
Politics of Cybersecurity
There is an ongoing debate in Washington about how fight the impending threat from cyberattacks.
"This [threat] is not going away unless we do something about it," says Chertoff. But that may be easier said than done because, as usual, Democrats and Republicans cannot seem to agree on the best way to address the issue.
The House of Representatives recently passed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), which would make it easier for companies to share information about cyberattacks. The Senate has yet to vote on this legislation, but when it does, the bill is not likely to pass. And if it should get through the Senate, President Obama has threatened to veto the bill because he does not believe it goes far enough to protect critical infrastructure. The White House is also concerned CISPA encroaches upon civil liberties.
There are also two different bills floating around the Senate, but only one both Obama and Chertoff support, and that is the legislation proposed by Senators Joe Liberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine). This bill would give the Department of Homeland Security the authority to monitor the nation's critical infrastructure and set mandatory security standards.
Many Republicans oppose the Lieberman-Collins bill because it would give the government authority to increase regulations, which conservatives argue hinders economic growth and job creation. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the largest special interest group in America, is also lobbying against the bill.
"I like Lieberman-Collins because it has not only the information sharing but it also requires that our critical infrastructure raise its standard," says Chertoff. 'That being said, I think it is important to at least get the information sharing done. I'd rather see some of this pass than none of it."

I was just wondering if Melissa is related to Melinda, both with the last name Rice. Melinda Rice was acting president of Cal-Bay and connected to Roger Pawson, Dale Baeten, and others.
"I'm pretty familiar with Melissa Rice who was named in the litigation"
Is she any relationship to Melinda Rice, Melissa seems to be hanging out with some of the same people as Melinda did.
It worked just fine for the Panamanian business that put it on. They made out like fat cats. Quite brutal to the normal retail though.
Before that, if I remember right, they were in the business of buying a casino somewhere (different ticker letters and a reorg or two before). But take your pick, one flavor is as good as another as long as it is the "flavor of the day" and it has the right paid promo to it. LOL
Business names and flavors long gone, but giving the newer Peterson name to it. But Peterson wasn't involved with those businesses. The listing is mixing different businesses at once also. Would have to go back and check, but I believe different shell owners came about in the middle of some of those business flavors, then the shell went dark for some time before the new flavor and "out of nowhere" current P&D to where it is now with the Peterson name.
Bloomberg is just a erroneous place to get info off of for these penny stocks especially. It could have anything up on it for any company; old, erroneous, or just plain wrong or non factual data.
That happens to be old information from some of the old business flavors of the day before the ticker went through the last pump and dump to NO BID and zero volume before the RS and newer "gold flavor" and Panamanian Pump and Dump this time around.
Volume data for month of April - BMRK. Up from last month, but more than half done in two days. April 3rd and 10th with 1,757 and 2,859 shares traded in those two days respectively.

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=historical&symbol=BMRK
We've heard everything already! Including your last statement. I was only stating that I've been right when it was claimed or pretended I wasn't. What's your point? I could care less who holds, it's only statistical and when pro traders come in they count on it. That's how pro trading is done with CRWV, keep the hopeful hoping so their shares don't get in the way of any selling volume and go in and out in a day or a little more. Nothing new, that's for sure. Neither is the fact that this stock has scammed people out of their moneys, has quit even putting out erroneous financials or fluff "news". Been restricted by the DTCC and STOP sign put on at the OTCMarkets.
Anyone can hold all the way to SEC suspension, absolute ZERO volume, .0001, NO BID; good luck with that. Again, just discussing on a discussion board for CRWV about CRWV. Who holds or not, what has been said before, yada yada makes no difference with what it is.
Sorry, but been pretty much RIGHT on everything so far and basically just have stated the obvious FACTS. A few million shares (if that, other than intermittent trading days) for a double zero stock is pretty much zero in relative stock market terms. It is barely holding above the trips and has gone to the trips and there has been days of mearly a few thousand shares traded in a day. In FACT it is a matter of record that CRWV has had ZERO volume days this time around. It is as I've said, still ahead of the last time this stock did the very same thing before it went to complete zero volume and NO BID before the last RS and the Panamanian promoters took it over and did their dirty deeds (in time span anyway, it took over a year to do it last time).
I don't really care in what anyone puts credibility in, doesn't change what it is, a POS stock that took shareholders money and has nothing but bag holders with horrendous losses with only diminishing misplaced "hope" of every seeing those losses returned with this stock. But anyone can pretend that I and others haven't been right and continue to "hold" since there really isn't much value now to hold onto and is only in the mind and dreams there is. CRWV in REALITY WORLD has gone to exactly what I have claimed in the past would do and continues to.
Streak of lower volume and NO BID continues. Whoooo.
Lets see, 5 month streak of lower monthly volume and about a 60 DAY streak of NO BID. Great streak, you betcha. LOL
So at .0001 the total amount of about $2500 traded all last month (which would all be at loss for any normal retail), about the same as what a trip zero stock should be trading in a couple of hours (not the whole month). Streaking joke is what this is. LOL And we can be pretty certain that some if not many of those shares went for less than .0001, it just shows up as .0001 with the NO BID status. About 5 months since any news pump and with almost a year old state status. Yep, a streak alright, a streak right into and under a rock.
All you have here with CRWV is just every once in awhile some traders come in and manipulate the stock just to trade it. Longs (or bag holders) statistically don't sell when the opportunity presents itself "hoping" it has some recovery to some pps that is long gone and will never happen. The fact that CRWV is DTCC restricted to much of the market and it has no real business, and all it has become is some low level liquidity for the most part with intermittent trading activity.
In reality it's just some dwindling nothing ticker with no business, no real or accurate financials, no gold to fulfill the past dreams of the stock. Overall long term trend is still just lower lows and lower highs with each sporadic trading opp (or pop) going into lower and lower trading ranges.
Not much to see or talk about. Most of the money involved has long gone to Panamanian companies or individuals that have moved on to other scammy endeavors.
Just a note. This last case of Fraud connected right back to the same people with connected cases and individuals in IPWG dots that I posted. Yep, lets see IPWG or any of these scammy restricted stocks bring forth some record of transactions and any more dots that can be exposed.
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
A. Prior Commission Action Involving Similar Unlawful Scheme
24. On September 24,2009, the Commission filed a civil injunctive action in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida against Stephen W. Carnes ("Carnes"), Lawrence A. Powalisz ("Powalisz"), and others alleging that they violated Section 5 of the Securities Act through the unlawful sale of purportedly unrestricted stock, including stock acquired under wrap around agreements. K&L International Enterprises, Inc., e t aI., 6:09-cv1638-GAP-KRS (M.D. Fla. Sep. 24, 2009) ("K&L"). Linton wrote at least two legal opinion letters on transactions that were alleged in K&L to have violated Section 5 ofthe Securities Act.
25. On September 29,2009, the K&L Court issued preliminary injunctions that enjoined Carnes, Powalisz, and other defendants and their "agents, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, and those persons in active concert or participation" with them from violating the registration requirement of Section 5 ofthe Securities Act. Id., Docket No. 14 (Sep. 29,2010). Pursuant to a settlement, the Court imposed permanent injunctions against Carnes and Powalisz in 2010. Id., Docket Nos. 53 and 59 (May 14 and Aug. 18,2010).
26. By their plain terms, the preliminary and permanent injunctions in K&L against Carnes, Powalisz, and their "agents, ... attorneys, and those persons in active concert or participation with [them]" extended to Linton, who had issued some of the opinion letters for the K&L defendants.
B. Defendants' Scheme to Evade Section 5 of the Securities Act
27. Defendants employed a scheme to acquire and sell large quantities ofpurportedly unrestricted stock under wrap around agreements that closely resembles the methods involved in K&L.
28. Two ofthe defendants in K&L, Carnes and Powalisz, had retained Linton to write legal opinion letters related to the issuance and sale ofpurportedly unrestricted stock under wrap around agreements. Linton issued at least two legal opinion letters for Carnes and Powalisz on transactions that were alleged to have violated the federal securities laws in K&L.
29. In addition, Scucci was employed by a business colleague of Carnes and Powalisz, who also participated in wrap around agreement transactions and had hired Linton to write legal opinion letters for him. While employed in that context, Scucci participated in these transactions by, among other things, (1) communicating with Linton to obtain legal opinion letters, (2) communicating with at least one transfer agent about the issuance of purportedly unrestricted stock on behalf ofher employer, and (3) obtaining and transmitting documents requested by Linton and/or the transfer agent in furtherance ofthe transactions.
30. Shortly after the Commission filed K&L and the defendants were enjoined, Scucci and Beach formed Protege and Capital Edge, respectively, to engage in nearly-identical transactions involving wrap around agreements to obtain large quantities of purportedly unrestricted stock, which they sold in unregistered transactions.
31. Scucci formed Protege in January 2010, and Beach formed Capital Edge in May 2010. Scucci and Beach were the sole managing members oftheir respective companies. Scucci and Beach caused Protege and Capital Edge to enter into wrap around agreements involving several Issuers.

Personally I think there is a lot going on behind the public scenes between the SEC and DTCC. Meaning they have something up their sleeves in order to expose a lot of this OTC shenanigans.
There sure is a lot of irony with a lot or most of these suspensions. Not what is expected, but when it would be expected. These tickers haven't had any volume for quite some time, just haven't been trading at all (years even). Two of them (Berman Center and Java Detour) were already part of a SEC Fraud complaint about a year ago and seems like they could be suspended then for some technicality or reason.
http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2011/comp21865.pdf
and has been DTCC services suspended and locked.
http://www.dtcc.com/downloads/legal/imp_notices/2011/dtc/ope/0503-11.pdf
The other one (CYKN - Cyberkinetics) has even had a black scull on it on the OTCMarkets and
"Investors are advised that OTC Markets Group has been unable to contact or confirm the location of this company. If you have current contact information, please complete the Update Company Information Form or send an email to info@otcmarkets.com."
in bold and red for some time (that place is really right on top of things, right? LOL)
One almost wonders by this time, why even bother. Just so they can be on the Greys not trading I guess. Any "protection for investors" has long faded away.
Was listed under it's old name. DTCC has done quite a bit of that for some reason, listing restrictions under old names and CUSIPS (probably original names when out of custody), but it is listed under Mindenao Gold Mining Corp which went through the name change to Grand Pacaraima Gold Corp in 2006. But it is in the notice for National Stock Transfer with Cusip 602661100 for non-transferable and all physical services (Deposits, WT's and COD's).

Swiss banks to hand over staff names in U.S. tax row: report
ZURICH | Sat Apr 14, 2012 6:55am EDT
ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland will allow banks to hand over the names of any employees and other third parties who helped wealthy Americans evade taxes to U.S. prosecutors, a Swiss newspaper reported on Saturday.
Eleven Swiss banks including Credit Suisse (CSGN.VX) and Julius Baer (BAER.VX) are under investigation in the United Stated for aiding U.S. citizens suspected of dodging taxes.
In the latest attempt to end the long-running dispute, Switzerland's Federal Council has now authorized banks to hand over email traffic in connection with such clients to U.S. prosecutors, the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper reported.
This includes the names of employees and where applicable third parties, such as external wealth managers, lawyers and trustees, but not client data, the paper said.
It said Mario Tuor, a spokesman for the Swiss secretariat for international financial affairs, confirmed this in a statement. He could not immediately be reached for comment.
U.S. authorities suspect tens of thousands of Americans have used Swiss banks to squirrel their savings away from the tax inspectors.
Switzerland is trying to get the investigations dropped, in return for the payment of a hefty fine and the transfer of names of thousands of U.S. bank clients. It is also seeking a deal to shield the remainder of its 300 or so banks from U.S. prosecution.
In an interview published on Friday, Swiss Finance Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf said she expects to clinch a solution with the United States this year.

Parts of Interview Regarding United States (english translation)
April 13, 2012, Neue Zürcher Zeitung
We have obtained not blackmail us».
Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf is expressed to the tax disputes with the Germany, the United States and the EU
.....
To the tax dispute with the United States. One gets the impression that the conflict in the United States not as in the Switzerland is seen as staatspolitisches problem, but as legal and tax technical problem. Could the Switzerland top-level US heard is too little?
In fact, the case in the United States as a legal, technical and tax conflict is perceived. We feel that in the negotiations. We had contacts at the political level on several occasions. I have the opportunity to influence yourself at a technical level. US Treasury Secretary Geithner does not have this possibility. He the experts of the tax administration were emphasized, responsible and in the Department of Justice, it is not a political issue. Next week I will be holder and expected within the framework of the IMF meeting with Minister of Justice talk with Treasury Secretary Geithner. I'll try again to show that it needs a political solution.
The State Department has seemingly not much to say.
In the United States, the judiciary has a different weight. Even Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it was not possible to influence her.
The planned agreement will contain a solution for eleven banks especially in the crosshairs of the US justice system or only for the rest?
The proposed solution has two Ebnenen. In an intergovernmental agreement, we want to settle the framework for the eleven banks standing in the line of fire of the United States. In a second agreement, which can be also an intergovernmental agreement or a treaty, we will look a solution for the remaining 300 banks so that our as financial center every year again is covered with new accusations. It is important here to set a flat rate sum. We can not negotiate the individual compensation for the eleven banks. Banks have to deal directly with the US authorities. We make the framework that creates the conditions for a definitive solution.
The negotiated by you to frame for the eleven banks thus covers no framework amount of Atonement payments?
The Americans have their ideas. But not we negotiate about this sum, but this is calculated as the individual agreements of the eleven institutes. The total discussions in our negotiations with the United States concerning the payments for the other institutions.
What are still the biggest differences because in the governmental negotiations?
There are already still the amounts you discussed.
What does the this week published Bundesverwaltungsgericht judgment that halted a request for administrative assistance regarding Credit Suisse clients?
On the one hand, it is gratifying that the Court confirmed its judgment of March 2009, according to which Group requests are generally allowed. In his new decision, but the Court complained about, that for a certain category of customers, the criteria were not precisely formulated and covered may not only tax fraud, but also tax evasion. The Americans must thus more accurately set the criteria for this category of customer.
Will this cause not that the volume of delivered data is lower, as the US authorities had hoped for, and is thus in the United States once more the impression of solidified that the Switzerland brake and Terminal, where she could only?
The tax administration has already done plenty of US requests. Many conclusive decrees have been also undisputed. The ruling concerns a specific set of cases. It is sure, that can be tackled at closer definition of the criteria for the acceptance of mutual assistance requests of less requests in this way. Also means, however, that the Americans should have every interest to finally to implement the new tax treaties. This agreement allows for even in cases of tax evasion requests for mutual assistance.
But again, the judgment does not a setback for the Swiss negotiations with the United States?
The judgment is well developed. But, there is room for discretion. The question is what to do with a request, which includes assistance enabled fraud cases and other cases, but provides no exact demarcation criteria. The tax administration, must examine cases in which there is fraud or tax fraud at the end, or it says the application is so indeterminate to the extent that the criteria would have to be taken more closely? The Court has decided for the second version.
In this whole conflict, the sword of Damocles of US legal penalties against local banks about the Switzerland and their financial centre depends on constantly. Do you have the nose full of this game and the impression of the Erpressbarkeit, which emits the Switzerland for several years not slow?
We let us not blackmail. We have made, what you can do as a rule of law. We can not go up further concessions towards the United States like the other also to Germany, because it would be acceptable with our law. But exploring the legal and political possibilities is one of them. It is always to think about what would be for example the consequences of a negotiating crash. The alternative to negotiations must be at least equally good or better. With Germany, we are at the point at which we say if the partner does not wish this agreement, the status quo is the better alternative than continue to negotiate for us. Also in negotiations with the United States, there is a threshold that we can not exceed as a sovereign State.
Then would you be willing to take a criminal proceedings against Swiss banks in buying after the fall of Wegelin?
At that time, we have saved the UBS due to their systemic relevance. Wegelin was, however, not system-relevant. We can put into question not all principles alone to a bank to save.
Also not the Bank Julius Baer, the Basler Kantonalbank and the Zurich Cantonal Bank?
Again, Man can throw all principles of the rule of law into the sea to save a single Institute.
This means that you would throw the law principles overboard only when a complaint against the system-relevant Credit Suisse?
No, I generally throw the constitutional principles not overboard. But the question is how far a State can invest themselves and should vary, depending on what are the consequences of the sinking of a bank.
What prediction can you give for the continuation of the conflict in US?
We still assume that we bring the planned solution across the stage this year. It is not, to defend the banks. We must defend our rule of law. At the moment, it is so that the United States extra-territorial want to enforce their rights. However, you must defend itself as a State. Would we find no solution could banks be might be tempted to seek itself a solution, which violates our rules.
Why do you choose no preventive block command against potential data delivery?
It was and is much in discussion.
In other words, such a decision may come soon?
I can say only this: it is not the case that we focus only on a solution. We think in alternatives.
What alternatives?
Furthermore, I can provide no information. Also, when we are criticized, we were ideenlos and had no strategies....
