Modern Times: Trust Issues with Our Best and Brightest
I seem to remember Philip M. Verges being a part of this operation.
How many privileged individuals took advantage (and continue unabated) of taxpayers' money getting lucrative positions, benefits, extraordinary salaries, and are protected by the power elites because of their connections? Their demise is ONLY due to their excessive greed.
Philip M. Verges is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point
Aliases: Verges used the aliases Tom Faye and Mike Murphy during his scheme.
Here are the key details:
1. Scheme Overview:
Verges led a scheme to artificially inflate the stock prices of certain penny stock companies and then sell those stocks at inflated prices.
The PSCs involved were: Alternet Systems, Inc. (“ALYI”), Priority Aviation, Inc. (“PJET”), Puration, Inc. (“PURA”), Vaycaychella, Inc. (“VAYK”), and WaterPure International, Inc. (“WPUR”).
The scheme aimed to benefit Verges and accomplices by providing them heavily discounted shares in these companies, which they later dumped into the market.
2. Execution Phases:
Verges gained de facto control over the PSCs by installing figurehead CEOs. The PSCs issued convertible promissory notes and debt settlements in exchange for payments on sham consulting service contracts.
Debt instruments were sold to accomplices (including Blue Citi, JDT Trading LLC, and others).
Illicitly obtained and significantly discounted unrestricted shares of PSC stock were issued to satisfy debt conversions.
The accomplices offloaded the discounted shares, generating substantial trading proceeds.
A portion of these proceeds was kicked back to Verges-controlled companies.
Today it's @ $ 1.18. I think it is time for another Reverse Split, that will attract new investors. It didn't work the last time, but why not? My logic is if they keep reverse-splitting, I will be able to buy 1 million shares for 10 bucks at some point. $0.0001
Reverse Stock Split
The downside of a reverse stock split is that it can be perceived as a negative signal by investors. It made me put a hold on any further buys. A reverse split can also lead to a decrease in liquidity and trading volume, which makes it more difficult for investors to buy and sell shares.
Things we can do without in 2024
The following has been repeated over and over too many times.
No. 1:
The company is being delisted and moving to pink sheets. Assets are being sold off.
No. 2: And then there is this line
"Could it be that there is a strategy to distract people away from looking at the basic data? Is all this an exercise to create more and more forum verbiage to drown out any serious discussion of evidence?"
No. 3:
One, two, or three-word posts that just take up space and offer no valid information.
I believe what I read in a Federal Complaint!
SEC V. Philip M Verges ( aka “The Scourge” )
From at least June 2017 to June 2022, Defendants—led by Verges—perpetrated a scheme to pump and dump into the market more than $112 million of stock in certain penny stock companies. Verges designed the scheme so that Blue Citi (owned by R. Malin and L. Case 3:23-cv-02146-D Document 1 Filed 09/26/23 Page 1 of 29 PageID 1 2 Malin), Tilton (in his individual capacity), JDT (owned by Tilton), and other accomplices that Verges nominated (the “Other Nominees”; collectively with Blue Citi, Tilton, and JDT, the “Nominees”) received heavily discounted shares in five penny stock companies: Alternet Systems, Inc. (“ALYI”), Priority Aviation, Inc. (“PJET”), Puration, Inc. (“PURA”), Vaycaychella, Inc. (“VAYK”), and WaterPure International, Inc. (“WPUR”) (collectively, the “PSCs” and individually, a “PSC”). The Nominees ultimately received at least 5.2 billion shares of stock in the PSCs at an 86.64% discount and then proceeded to dump those shares into the market. Blue Citi, Tilton, and JDT alone generated more than $52 million in trading proceeds.

And to think we (taxpayers) paid for his expensive education at West Point. YES! Philip M Verges graduated from West Point Academy. That is probably the reason he got away with scamming stocks for such a long period. SEC turned a blind eye to his shenanigans.

Philip Verges. He’s the actual owner of PURA, USMJ, KALY, PJET, NOUV. He’s a big scammer from the dot com era. His gig is he acquires companies he already owns and pays for them through issuing convertible notes so he’s really paying himself for something he already owns and then he will find a reason to hire third-party companies that he already owns to contract work through and pays himself again. A very plain example of this is USMJ which is owned by Savanah East Africa. If you look them up on OTC markets and study all the filings it’s plain as day he’s hiring companies that he owns to do supposed work for the company. If you study all the tickers I mentioned above and their previous tickets before name changes and all the names of officers listed you will find they are all connected. The most recent example of this is WSGF World Series of Golf. it was one of Phil’s companies that went belly up the ticker just went through a custodianship and guess who the new custodian is, Phil’s lawyer who helps him with all his scams. If you search my posts from 10 months to a year ago you will find several detailed posts with evidence of his scams. Please study them before you invest your money.
Philip M Verges' Minions Should be Banned From iHUB.
Go back to January 2023 and note the pumpers whose posts exclaimed that PURA was going to new monetary heights.
These pumpers are just as guilty of fraud as Philip M Verges.
Philip’s Persistent Pumping Proliferation is Pummeled with Prosecution
I can tell you that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed charges (9/26/2023) against Philip Verges, James D. Tilton, Jr., et al scammers.
They ALLEGEDLY schemed to pump-and-dump more than $112 million of stock in five penny stock companies, including Puration, Inc. (PURA). The SEC alleges that the defendants perpetrated a scheme to pump and dump into the market more than $112 million of stock in certain penny stock companies.
NOTE: The evil that men do eventually catches up with them. Philip got a very, very, good education at West Point on the tax payers dollar. Philip then put that
education to use in the private enterprise sector to manipulate stocks for personal financial gain.

Looks like the SEC has had enough of Philip M Verges's business manipulations and scamming. You

Thank you, Janice. Philip M. Verges has been doing this for years. He is one bad person! I will be sending the SEC Team some additional information.
I misspoke, it isn't to save the day, it is saving our butts.
ALERT * Institutional Investors * ALERT
BNGO Management did a Reverse-Split to attract you as an investor and now the Stock is down to $ 1.62.
I think it is high time you guys came in and saved the day for us long-term investors. THANK YOU!
Reverse Split to Attraction Institutional Investors
Well! That was one idea that never made any logical sense to me. In my opinion, if you are selling
sand in the desert and your company stock is in the pennies a reverse split is not going to open the floodgates
to new investors. I think the ploy was ill-conceived and management better rethink the way they deal with their
investors. Currently, $1.75 and falling.
United States Antimony Co. is a corporation claimant based in Thompson Falls, Montana for 212 closed claims. I don’t understand the closed claim description.
Antimony is a strategic metal used to harden lead in ordnance. I think this is prime time for the Company's product with skirmishes in the Ukraine and now Israel. The next location will be either Tawain or Iran. In 2019, the U.S. was seeking to sever its reliance on China for Antimony and awarded UAMY a DOD contract. This should be boom a time for the stock.
Why is UAMY stagnating?

According to a press release by GlobeNewswire, the Portnoy Law Firm has initiated an investigation into whether BNGO issued false and misleading statements to investors.
Why did BNGO get rid of their CFO and find another CFO?
Transparency and honesty will keep current shareholders’ trust and attract new shareholders. Take a lesson from President Biden’s press secretary and her statements that “the Border is secure”.
When people have trust issues with an entity they jump ship.
The 1 for 10 split promised to energize potential investors and institutions once they saw the high dollar stock price. Nope! It seems the reverse split had a reverse effect on investors and is again falling like a lead balloon.
Work on building a better mousetrap and investors/institutions will come in droves.
No! No! No, I averaged too, again and again and again. I am SICK.
So, You Want News!
Here is is:
• “Climb To Top” is the Company pumping machine
• There are 23.5 BILLION shares Outstanding
• There are Zero employees
• There are Zero Institutional Investors
• The Company is an Unknown in the legitimate Marijuana business
• The current stock price is $ 0.0005 a share
• AND, the only News is Bad News!
Oh, oh, is it starting to climb? Get Real!
Years and years of Pump, Promises, and Hype and the bottom line is:
- BILLIONS, and BILLIONS of Outstanding shares
- .000 Share Price
- USMJ is NOT recognized as a Serious Player in the Marijuana Industry
- NO employees!
I would bet on a middle school football team to win the Super Bowl before investing another penny.
Seeking Advice
What is the best bet if one chooses to exercise subscription rights.
That the SEC does not care is the bedeviling issue at hand. These scammers create companies, list them, go belly-up, then do it again with the same adeptness I change underwear.
Now, if you commit a crime and get punished you have a record that follows you. Not so with creating paper companies and cheating investors out of thousands of dollars. However, we are led to believe the SEC has our backs. Phooey!
There is NO penalty for these wayward entrepreneurs that dream up fantasy businesses and get away with it. They just get DELISTED. That is it, end of that scam and move on to the next.
The only regulatory agent in this industry is YOU.
Daily Business Operations?
I am NOT a savvy business person. With that, I am curious as to what company higher-ups do when they don’t have any employees. However, they all have impressive titles.
Chairman of the Board & CEO Bollen
President, Treasurer Torno
COO, Director Tilton
Probably, first thing in the morning, over coffee, they would want to know if anybody bought shares, then they figure out how much each gets when split three ways. Now it is time for lunch, maybe some golf in the afternoon.
A very smart financial person told me that with no employees nothing gets made, however the upside is no wages are paid and certainly no overtime is anticipated.
Maybe, USMJ has created a new “woke” business model!

USMJ - Who???
DIVIDENDS ? ? ?
Let us contemplate this mind-numbing question. Just for the sake of mental masturbation let us make believe that USMJ was going to pay a dividend of 2 cents per share. 2 pennies per share!
Well, there are 23,500,000,000 BILLION shares out there, soooo USMJ would have to pony up $ 470,000,000.00, FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS!
P.S. Pumpers come up with some really bizarre stuff..
Searching for Profits in All the Wrong Places
Over the years I have found one sure-fire method of determining if a company stock was worth buying. Who else besides the everyday worker bee knows the ins and outs of what is taking place and what is in the pipeline, and they like making money too. So when I see the below sentiment I do NOT take the risk.
Insider Sentiment
Over the last five years there has not been an insider stock purchase at USMJ.
Besides: Shares Outstanding: 23,500,000,000 B I L L I O N.
There is NOTHING here. Best bet would be going to a casino with the money and putting it on Red (or Black) the odds are much better.
Reverse Split!!!!!!!
So, you think Reverse Split is the solution.!!!!
How do you Reverse Split 23 BILLION (BILLION) and possibly repair the damage????
If they Reverse Split at the maximum there still would be 200,000,000 Outstanding Shares.
My recommendation to you is never ever take a job that requires some math.
Interesting Business Model
Bollen is Chairman of the Board & CEO
Torno is President & Treasurer
Tilton is COO
They have zero (0) employees. They have No People That Make Stuff.
So when you buy shares they don’t have any employees to pay or buy materials for them to make stuff. So I guess they divide the share money three (3) ways. Now THAT makes sense to me.

Has anyone reported this company to the SEC yet? From the information, I believe there is definitely a Securities fraud case that needs to be opened because all the info matches the internet fraud definition.
Some prominent players in the global legal marijuana market include:
• Canopy Growth Corporation
• Aurora Cannabis
• Aphria, Inc.
• Tilray
• ABcann Medicinals, Inc.
• The Cronos Group
• Maricann Group, Inc.
• Organigram Holding, Inc.
• Lexaria Corp.
• GW Pharmaceuticals
• United Cannabis Corporation
• Tikun Olam, Ltd.
Anybody with any sophistication in the Cannabis industry knows USMJ is a charade.
A Better Investment!
USMJ sits $0.0004 and there are 23,500,000,000 BILLION shares Outstanding.
I have a better offer. I will sell you a Carnival Cruise ship for $500. Just send me cash and go claim it in Miami.
Average cost of a cruise is around $1,000. Ship holds about 2,900 passengers so you will make your $500 investment back in no time.

NO Company employees are buying any shares:

THERE ARE NO COMPANY EMPLOYEES !!!!
But the Good news is the Company has a Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, a President, Treasurer, and a Chief Operating Officer.
Let me try!
I too read and tried to keep abreast of new technology and now realize the error of my reasoning.
No, this is not a comedy this is the new normal. What you think is the right way of doing or saying something is actually the opposite now. It is all quite logical if you can channel your thinking into the crazy woke realm.
Example: The President of our country tells the Naval Academy cadets that he had a chance to attend the Academy in 1965, but opted out because he would play second fiddle in football to Roger Staubach. The reality is Biden graduated from Delaware University in 1965. Roger graduated from the Academy in June 1965. Biden didn’t play football in college. Biden’s grades were too bad to get into the Naval Academy. Does this make any sense? NO, but nobody seems to care. Crazy, right! What do World leaders think? How does Biden remain in office?
Children in the United State are currently lacking in basic education and our educational experts think the critical curriculum in our schools should be focused on identifying a child as a he, she, it, they, them, those, or whatchamacallits.
