FINRA will continue to govern the individual for activity which occurred while registered for two years post termination…
Individuals who were formerly registered with FINRA continue to be subject to its jurisdiction for at least two years after the registration is terminated. Such persons are required to, among other things, respond to FINRA requests for information regarding activities that occurred while they were registered.
Wasn’t the form-c filed a couple of days ago?
Thanks for that info. After reading that PR, I’m wondering if you have any information on this:
Well, he might’ve been hired as a local attorney, and decided to embellish his resume to say he was instrumental in Amaya’s multi-billion dollar growth just because he worked as an assistant on some M&A cases — however brief his involvement may have been he decided to use it. It’s not the first time I’ve seen that happen.
Just like he allegedly misrepresented himself to Quintana that his father was founder of the Perry Ellis brand with access to unlimited funds, and he also founded the Ticket Clinic. They lie to gain access. Overwhelming majority of these introductory PR’s are embellished and severely overstated, and a typical OTC investor rarely does a deep dive, so they get away with it.
What’s telling is who in their right mind with any legit stature would risk their name and reputation and get involved with notorious scammers in a stinky pink? That’s where the whole story falls apart and starts look like total BS.
If Feldenkrais had anything worth value here (he doesn’t), and had no idea who he was getting in bed with (he did) and just happened to be the dumbest mfer this side of the Mississippi who according to him could vet multi-billion dollar deals but managed to do zero vetting of this shell and somehow got himself conned — as any good attorney would’ve advised, if your hands are clean, then file a petition to back out of the public deal immediately when he was first questioned by the FBI, so he wouldn’t lose $12M in assets. The fact that he didn’t is very telling, that he likely knew who he was making deals with, and that there are no assets worth even a minute fraction of that amount, and the risk was worth the reward.
He’s sitting on 500M shares, and the shareholders still owe him $10M in shares that will blow up the OS when it’s all said and done. Not a bad deal for him. He’ll RM out of the ticker at some point and walk into the sunset with a boatload of free trading shares that he can dump into the market and finance his next venture. Rinse and repeat.
Thank you! That’s a great start.
Aha, so I won’t find any reference to this gambling venture, or his immense success in a public filing lol. Thanks for saving me the time. I wonder why no one asked Mr. Hobbs the details. I’d love to know who it was.
Thanks again.
What Zombywolf just mentioned, about a “gambling site”…I’ve heard through a couple of contacts that know Svorai better than me that he has/had a connection and wanted to merge one of his recent pubco’s with an “online gambling site”, but Idk any details, and what happened to those plans, however that there’s def a connection with the group that travel back and forth to Israel.
Thank you! The only reason I ask is I was curious if his real job is a side gig as immigration attorney, but primarily running Kiss Leads, with no previous experience in cultivation? I’m also trying to figure out if this merger was all an Israeli connection with Svorai et. al. (is what I’m learning from other conversations). Trying to confirm validity.
We’re just finding out that Vaccaro had not one, but two luxury yachts paid for on the back of shareholders. Government only seized one. Now he’s crying poor when in fact he spent 6 months of litigation trying to get the dinghy that was on the seized yacht back.
US attorney is saying F off. Sell your other luxury yacht to exercise your sixth amendment right to counsel and live within your means with the proceeds.
No question this was a tactic by the government to squeeze these mfers, but to cry poor when you wasted your funds, and the governments time for six months, while you’re sitting on a luxury yacht, and Presumably a bunch of offshore accounts is offensive to the government, and not helping his case.
Very interesting. Now I’m intrigued. I’m traveling today, but will be at my desk tomorrow so I can take a look. Hmm, the timing does seem suspicious.
I’m curious if you happen to look over the Kiss Leads suit? I think there’s 800 docket entries spanning ten years. I only briefly looked at the most recent judgement that was adjudicated in favor of the defendant which I believe was as a result of a settlement agreement. I only had very little time the day you posted the Quintana suit, so I’ll have to read it again. The obvious stands out as Feldenkrais was suing the very company (Ticket Clinic) that only contracted Kiss Leads for services, of which he told Quintana he was a founder.
“Oh, what a tangled web they weave, when first they practice to deceive!”
Lol. This is a good time to look into a claim against the seized assets, since in part it was paid for by your investment. US attorney sees right through Vaccaro’s BS since he spent 6 months in attorney fees and litigation just to get his dinghy back. He didn’t seem too concerned about the mounting debt then. Now they’re calling BS and saying sell your second luxury yacht and learn to live within your means. smh
A new filing in FBI case for Vaccaro — now trying to get his Rolls back and claiming he’s poor, but the U.S. attorney is in no mood to F around. Apparently he has another luxury yacht purchased on the backs of shareholders that wasn’t seized that he can sell, all while claiming he’s poor. Scumbags, all of them!

Sheesh, what a clusterF. I’m assuming Fluent was their primary contract since inception which ended up in a legal battle. Optics are horrible! Thanks man, I’m def going to read through it.
Your question is a valid one as far as who else did Feldenkrais swipe cash from. We only know of the three because of the suits, when it fell into the public domain, but it bears caution and warrants questioning of financials and what else is lingering out there.
Do you by chance know how Feldenkrais was making a living before the CATV merger?
Appreciate your research… Please keep me posted.
Ok, so first the sunbiz filing for KK Family Investment — seems he sent a copy or outdated certificate of standing as a foreign entity (Delaware) instead of the appropriate type. He corrected it a few days later. You can find the rejected registration on the SOS site. What’s questionable with Shaheed Khan is why is he still listed on the subs owned by CATV. I brought this up this week or last.
There’s way too many worthless subs (shell game), some which don’t even list CATV with the state. There’s also variation of names, like for example CIGN, LLC, and CIGN Real Estate, LLC. I was dizzy trying to keep up the other day, and I can usually whip through these lol.
Second, regarding the Alvarez and Rivillas lawsuit — collectively with Quintana suit, it appears he was attempting to run a quasi Ponzi scheme. He’s guaranteeing ridiculous ROI, but he’s swiping the cash altogether. Although that would simply be fraud, but imo his intentions were more Ponzi since at that time he had a fully functioning vehicle to dump shares to keep those investors enticed to invest more. He could’ve had the scam going for a couple of years at least, and he would’ve kept issuing notes, and they would’ve just kept dumping shares, rinse and repeat, but then the FBI came knocking on the door and basically put the kibosh on the plan.
Smalls had the right question — what happened to $105K cash? Unfortunately it appears he used CIGN, LLC instead of CIGN Real Estate, so if plaintiff wins, then CATV is on the hook.
My question is who was the beneficiary of ~100M shares he issued to himself for previous CIGN debt?? I don’t recall any specific details like a name, do you? If not, then you’d have to look through the fins and see who came in to the company on the merger as a note holder (besides his associates), and if it notes that debt paid since the date he issued the shares.
Also, I need to read through the Freedom Town/Fluent suit more thoroughly. I only had time to read the response since it was at the county site. What stands out is Fluent’s claim that All CBD and THC plants produced at the facility were found to contain such high amounts of toxic heavy metals, including but not limited to arsenic and chromium, that they had to be destroyed.
This in itself is a damning allegation. Any future tangible cultivation contract is highly questionable imo if anyone wanted to do any due diligence and run across this, which makes sense why he wants to sell the farm.
Thanks Stars. I’m going to take a look at the other suit as soon as I get some free time today.
I don’t think the Radaris info is correct since it doesn’t list his actual children or his wife.
Sometimes these sites propagate this information incorrectly from other public sites which tend to be incorrect as far as what they’re disseminating for free consumption, or it could in fact be where Michael Feldenkrais somewhere along the line used George’s name in an application, or George P. Feldenkreis could be related to them, but I don’t believe it’s the Perry Ellis George Feldenkreis.
Here is a link for Perry Ellis George Feldenkreis:
https://prabook.com/web/george.feldenkreis/527167
Fortunately since George Feldenkreis is a public figure, there’s numerous articles on him, and esp his son Oscar that runs the Perry Ellis brand now. It should be easy to find a family connection, if there’s any there.
I can’t find a relationship. Can you send me some links? I know Perry Ellis International, which was founded by George Feldenkreis — he has two children Fanny Feldenkreis Hanono, and Oscar Feldenkreis who took over as CEO. I’d be interested to see what you found though.
This is the thread you’re looking for, which I only remember because I responded to it.

Stars, I just took a look at the Miracle Leaf and Quintana lawsuit against Feldenkrais.
Wow, Feldenkrais and his associates sure as heck look like a shady scammer crew. I mean, these guys allegedly set out to dupe Quintanas and take advantage of his lack of education and business acumen, and were literally trying to steal his business from underneath him.
The guy ended up having to pay thousands in legal fees, and file for an injunction just to get away from them, and save his business after they tried to sabotage him. I can’t help but feel bad for him. What total scumbags!
Feldenkrais allegedly also did his own fake identity shtick by telling Quintana he was the son of Perry Ellis founder George Feldenkreis (different spelling) with access to unlimited funds. He’s also founder of “Ticket Clinic”…. Lol, what in the world?
He’s starting to sound more like a sociopath, yikes!
Dave, my notifications are back on. Brilliant, thank you!!
You know I’ll be there with ya. I’ll bring the best bottle of Champaign and a giant sign that reads “lock him up” LOL.
Wow! I applaud your research and educated conclusion. I’m sure it wasn’t easy. But if it’s any consolation I’ve been in your shoes, and it’s a horrible feeling.
I did know he paid CIGN with shares (~100M) for debt which I don’t know if it was for CIGN, or CIGN Real Estate, but it was for debt before the acquisition so likely for the Real Estate which CATV doesn’t own.
As I said, I never really did much research here until what you disclosed last week, followed by that letter which made all my alarms go off simultaneously.
This is an obvious shell game, set up to keep investors confused and guessing. This is the business model and it’s not the first company to do it, and unfortunately won’t be the last. They got nothing!
I’m sure I’m going to find more questions that I’ll come across as I try to unravel this web that I’ll give you shout out.
Keep your chin up. This is all a learning lesson and I’m truly sorry you’re finding out this way :(
Well, I finally got my notifications back, hope it sticks
This ticker is tough. They have way too many useless subs that basically do nothing, and to add to the confusion you have to pay attention to variations in names of companies, and the officers/Mgrs are so random — like why are these people still on file with the state when these subs were acquisition’d outright and should have two names — 4Cable and Feldenkrais as the officer. Definition of a shell game.
I just had a little bit of time to screw around so went looking for those subs. You’re welcome to jump in brother haha. It’ll be like good ol’ times :)
Thanks Smalls. Just to clarify, Do you mean the container hydroponic grow pods?
I’m mod’ing two companies that had a go at the pods when they were popular years ago. They’ve been around since at least 2011. Just look up Cannapods MCIG. MCIG gave up on cannabis altogether after 6 years, and pivoted into a RM with a crypto outfit.
The other company which has multiple marijuana grow and distribution licenses in Cali with an existing farm tried to sell the pods but didn’t catch traction. So they ate the cost and turned them into labs stored at their facility that do testing for growers in the region. This was a well funded company and they realized it was a waste of time/funds very early on.
It’s a boondoggle of a plan imo.
Now I get what you meant by this statement: “The ONLY reason the restaurant opened was to show the Fed's he was an honest businessman”.
Tbh, I haven’t looked deeper than their financials since I don’t own any shares, but then last week’s news surfaced that the sub (CIGN) that SH’s paid $10M is cooked. so I became curious about these other subs that SH’s already paid a heavy price for.
I have some questions if you can help me out…
I came across a PR from 1/4/21 that details the acquisition of Health Care and Wellness Clinics of America, LLC and Corporation Clinic, LLC (this supposed to be INC, not LLC). Feldenkrais issued himself and a buddy ~660M shares for these two subs at a price tag of $1.25M.
Here’s some excerpts from the PR that stands out:
Yup, what a disaster. Ugh, makes my stomach churn! I think the hardest part for me was exposing the bro-scam suits and telling folks that I grew to like and become friends with that it was obvious Nahon via Svorai was running yet another scam. Of course nobody believed me when I told them to gtfo. That’s def not on me.
Over 20B shares diluted and couple years later Svorai, Nahon, Ruggeri, Zoyes, and Svorai’s brothers were all in handcuffs. That was personal vindication, but nevertheless, I feel horrible to this day for those that got buried :(
On the other hand, Idk if it has reached that level here (yet), as the exposure to a federal investigation threw a huge wrench in the soup that was brewing, but it’s def not heading in the right direction to disprove negative biases. As a matter of fact the winds are blowing in the opposite direction.
Svorai had a clear track record which was repeatedly ignored. Here, the pubco is implicated in a FBI investigation involving some notorious scammers, which that alone is a giant red flag.
I also question Feldenkrais’ involvement with Svorai, Zoyes, Nahon, Skolnick and that’s another red flag. Issuing himself and his buddies, a ton of debt and series B shares for worthless subs should’ve been questioned at great length, and it’s financial suicide for shareholders to overlook that they still owe $10M+, and convertible debt and loans are piling up.
That’s where I find it very difficult to believe that they didn’t know each other. Too many facts that’s been revealed by the government and discrepancies to ignore. I’ve been told by several big players that the south Florida penny scene knows everything that goes on amongst others, and they tend to run in the same circles. Svorai and Vaccaro’s bust was huge news, so it’s implausible that Feldenkrais is that ignorant. I can’t emphasize enough that besides running financial scams, these (Svorai, et al) are generally very bad people!
Btw, sorry for the late response, but my notifications are screwed up and Dave at Admin is working on a fix. I have to check boards I post on manually for now.
Back on Expert Market!
Whenever I looked into a blatant scam, Island Transfer was always the TA, but why does Spartan sound familiar? Hmmm, every time a new scammer pops up that I have to remember, it pushes old scammers out my brain — please read that in Homer Simpson’s voice… LOL
There must be a scammer script lol. It also reminds me of all the subs Svorai was merging in and out of Vapor, and we ended up finding out that the one asset (EG) worth a shit wasn’t owned by shareholders, but held by him privately. Meanwhile he had already moved his shitshow into the next ticker. It’s almost exactly the same script.
I mentioned a while back that Svorai liked issuing series B shares to himself and associates for subs. Exactly the same here. As if these two knew each other from the get go lol.
What misinformation? Of course, anyone that states unpopular facts has an agenda. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that. Lol
It’s also not the first time I’ve heard shareholders defending dilution.
The current status of this company is literally in black and white.
They got NOTHING!
~760M shares issued to Feldenkrais and an associate for two subs that are worth NOTHING!
CATV has yet to issue millions more shareholders owe for CIGN, which is worth NOTHING!
50M shares diluted in 30 days for NOTHING!
50M is going to look like chump change when all these debt holders cash in.
I hope over a year of CE — 4 months of a failed bistro — a failed grow op + 50M dilution in 30 days was worth $10M + ~760M shares to the ‘rock star CEO’ and his buddies. Smh
Great, thanks again.
Exactly! It’s so typical it’s as if he copy and pasted from any other failing OTC ticker.
Everything makes sense now… like Feldenkrais not wasting any time converting ~760M shares for himself and associate for two subs — not including millions more owed for CIGN that admittedly is no longer viable. No viable or tangible assets, no significant operation, no concrete plan, and a ton of debt issued to themselves.
Just in the past 30 days they diluted the OS by over 50M shares.
Anyway I look at it, it sure as heck dots the i’s and crosses the t’s in the share selling scheme handbook. Smh
GM Dave. Any idea how long it takes to update the cert and if I should do anything to reset the app to recognize the update, or is it propagated automatically?
Thanks again.
Thanks Stars.
I never thought this was a scam until the last financials, bolstered by the revelation of the farm being sold this week.
I have NO DOUBT this is a shell game after reading that letter. Holy shit, this is Svorai’s playbook to the T!
The word salad, pivoting, dodging, double talking, and general deliberate obscure language leaves no guessing that he has no clear plan, nothing to show, and is throwing everything out there to confuse the less inclined to see through the utter BS in that letter, and obscure the serious problems.
After years, they literally have nothing to show after shareholders paid millions of $ to acquisition these worthless subs.
T trades can most definitely be attributed to dilution when there’s high volume.
That’s a urban legend. Avg price print can be printed during or after market close (there’s no AH trading in OTC), generally in high volume tickers where multiple trades are executed at var prices, but printed with the avg price of the batch.
I hear ya. I’ve been used as a pawn in the past myself. Did it make me jaded? Probably, but I also blew up a couple of accounts before I put aside my emotions, ignored all the excuses, and started actually hearing out those people that appeared to make sense and were more disconnected than me. I paid a heavy price, but I don’t regret it one bit because I wouldn’t be where I am without learning those hard lessons.
Don’t beat yourself up. The market is a daily lesson and always evolving and there’s no recipe for success, other than what you said — NEVER go by what any insider, associate, or group chat says; dig deep deep deep; if there’s a red flag DO NOT IGNORE it; protect yourself FIRST by locking in profits, limiting losses; and invest without emotional ties…there are no shortcuts.
I’m sure you’ll make up any loses — there’s always opportunities around the corner. I now go into a trade with the mindset that I’ll likely lose as the odds are definitely stacked against us lol. If I can bank 20% in the green at the end of the week, then it’s a good week and a nice surprise :)
Cheers
