For sure bro. I’m going to be like a fly on this piece of shit keeping a look out for his next scam. Including thousands of others that he screwed out of millions of dollars. I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts his next scam from behind bars. That’s what a slimy piece of shit he is.
Not Feds. Someone in his inner/outer circle that might’ve had a beef with him found glee to let the word out lol.
The USA v Svorai should end up exactly as Taieb’s did, terminated and created with a new docket indicating the new charges and “waiver to prosecution by indictment and consent to prosecution by information.” It’ll take a little bit to get through the system.
I’m thrilled…Good riddance for sure.
Seems so. The Feds don’t agree to plea deals for nothing. I seriously doubt he would’ve offered up any of his hidden assets, so the only bargaining chip he had was information.
The good thing is he’s being charged with federal crimes which has must stricter guidelines than state. He has to serve 85% of his sentence. If word is he’s getting 5 years, then the majority of his sentence will be served behind bars. I was hoping for at least 10 lol.
Either way I’m def celebrating…woohoo :)
New filing shows Dror Svorai plead guilty — so far it appears everyone has cut a deal except Vaccaro and Ruggeri. New Pre trial conference call is scheduled for 3/21.
Dror Svorai is going to prison — he plead guilty!
Time to break out the bubblies
New filing shows Dror Svorai plead guilty. Word on the street is he negotiated for 5 years behind bars. No one knows at this time (and probably not for a while until the case is unsealed) what information he offered up for the deal, but one thing is for sure is he is f*ing guilty and headed to prison, and will forever be known as a felon and a fraudster.
I’m still trying to find time and dreading it. Good for you though. You have a lot more patience than me :)
Thanks for the heads up. Which docket was it filed on?
Yup. I’ve never seen FINRA approve corporate actions (like a divi/name change/split) without traditional/current financials. At the same time, I’ve seen my good share of these sort of announcements in stinky pinks with no follow-through by management with the regulatory agency at all. That’s why that little statement “subject to approval by the board of directors” is always an out. They’ll drag it out as long as they can milk it.
Ah, ok. I just did a quick check at FINRA, and there’s no divi recorded for either BTZI or BULT going back to 7th of Feb, so no sense to keep checking your brokerage account. FINRA will have the data 10 days before it’s distributed, and as of today there’s nothing there.
Did they distribute the divi shares?
Good job bro. I hope they manage to negotiate for more outta that scumbag.
Yep, that’s what I’ve seen as well. You should definitely go through with it.
Anyone that lost, however small or large as a result of years of Svorai et al schemes should go through with a claim.
That’s what those seized assets are for, of course minus costs of years of government litigation. But it wasn’t just Svorai that schemed in the six companies. Assets were seized from all six defendants that participated in the PnD scheme spanning years, and there’s plenty there to at least partially recoup losses once it’s all said and done.
Nope, not happening lol.
What idiots these people were that allowed this ticker to be revoked. Smh
I’m hearing there are thousands of victims. Anyone else hear back or decide to go forward?
Hey Stars. Are you still following the other lawsuit w/fluent?
Tbh I haven’t kept up with it.
On the other front, FBI has been getting in touch with the other six company’s shareholders, providing a dedicated victim line. Last I heard there are thousands of victims reporting losses.
The year should say ‘23, not ‘24.
No problem.
I don’t have PM, but it doesn’t look like there’s any deviation from the dates. 3/2/24 is scheduled as final Pretrial conference and trial set for 4/17/24.
Only update is Ruggeri finished reverse proffer — no indication of cooperation, and apparently Berly and Hagen are trying to reach a plea agreement — no indication if they did, but AUSA is confident they will at some point. Svorai had his ankle monitor removed — no indication of an agreement. Same for Biton. Vaccaro still haggling over his assets, so it’s very much up in the air if/when he’ll negotiate a deal.
DOJ is asking victims of Charles Vaccaro and Dror Svorai et al, to file a claim for restitution with the department in relation to the six companies at the center of the nearly four year long federal investigation spanning back to 2014.
Companies involved are:
VPOR
POTN
CNCC
GRCV (now YUKA)
CLIC (suspended)
WLAB
It looks like trial will be starting in 2023 for those whom have chosen to not cooperate with investigators. Latest filing shows two of the six defendants (unidentified) took a deal. Taieb cooperated early on, so he’s on a separate docket apart from the six, but his sentencing is in January.

This is not an oversight by OTCM. The warning message is for Proprietary Quote Eligibility, so if someone goes in to buy or sell the symbol, there may not be a bid or ask that the Market Maker can execute against if you are UNS (Unsolicited Quotes).
The quote you’re seeing is not in the traditional sense of a market maker making a market in this ticker.
They don’t have proprietary broker/dealer quotation and are marked as unsolicited because they never filed a form 211 with FINRA and never filed updated financials, instead they filed a Form-C (crowdfunding) with SEC. This means under the amended rule, OTC Link ATS trading platform will function as a quotation system and brokers can only rely on OTCM information designations. It also means due to high level of risk, brokers can opt out of trading those tickers that are being quoted on OTC quotation system.
Weren’t they at much higher price point when they pulled the same thing with the Vitacig divi? Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Vitacig turn into Omni, the now dead ticker? I think I blocked out the whole experience lol.
It’s the same playbook.

I hope the Yourist brothers come up with a/new/better business plan in 2023.
Happy new year!
May the new year net us a six pack :D
Happy new year!
I don’t think he understands that a good portion of trades on the buy side are recorded as short for technical reasons. I’ll leave the burden of explaining that to you my good sir :)
Happy new year to all.
WN, good to hear from ya bud. I don’t have DM here, so I’ll try to reach out at happy hour on Friday :)
Yup, he’s not getting another chance to make a break for it LOL.
I copied the most relevant below which is Vaccaro claiming he’s so poor. The other one is his attorney stating that Vaccaro owes him money and unless the judge approves his client’s application for return of assets, he has no choice but to withdraw as his counsel.
The other filings are for the most part insignificant. One relates to Svorai requesting the removal of his ankle monitor that he’s had on since his arrest in Feb/21, when he got caught on his second stint at attempting fraud in CATV, which was granted without objection from government.
Whatever happened to that .05 crowd funding farce?
When I posted that, the signs were so obvious that it was painful watching dozens upon dozens of these idiots take the bait. I kept scrolling and there was no end to the desperation. It’s like taking candy from a baby for these pumpers.
CEI alone made @ LadeBackk & @ MrZackMorris over $4.5M
Just minutes after they pushed a $10+ price target for CEI to their followers they immediately dumped for an average of $2.61

Man, I’m just glad the arm of justice finally caught up to these scammers. It only took a decade or so LOL. Let’s see if the punishment will fit the crime(s).
Another ~80M shares added to the outstanding in one month for a company that produces less than $500 revenue.
3,700,241,862 - 11/8/22
3,790,431,716 - 12/8/22
At this pace and with ~500M shares owed to Auctus, it’s plausible that in six months or so he’ll have to increase the Authorized shares to accommodate further share issuance and dilution.
Since these shares can’t currently be dumped, that’s a minimum of 1.3B share overhang on the sidelines waiting to hit the market.

The following letter was posted on one of the boards from someone that received a letter.
That’s basically what I’m getting. Couple of other friends got in touch as well, with generally the same info. They requested all material information to be emailed and to officially open up a victim claim.
