that SCNP have been spreading about Dibcoin (5 billion in asset value, $235/share) are reason enough for the SEC to halt trading but there is a chance this runs a little deeper than that.
I regret that I don't have a proper link for this, I'm just copy/pasting from an email here but this is from James Scheltema's tax case:
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA PENSACOLA DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
v. CASE NO. 3:16-cr-00080-MCR
JAMES J. SCHELTEMA.
DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO CONTINUE SENTENCING
Now comes James J. Scheltema, by and through undersigned counsel, and hereby files this motion to continue the sentencing hearing currently scheduled on April 10, 2017 at 3:00 pm until a date in June of 2017.
As grounds for this motion, the Defendant states:
1. Neither party has previously requested a continuance of sentencing and this Court has never entered an order continuing sentencing in this case.
2. The Defendant pleaded guilty on January 19, 2017. His plea agreement with the Government contemplates the potential of providing substantial assistance.
3. Pursuant to this portion of the plea agreement, the Defendant is scheduled to be deposed on the morning of April 10, 2017 by lawyers from the Securities and Exchange Commission in a civil matter loosely related to the conduct at issue in the present case.
4. Undersigned counsel has consulted Assistant United States Attorney David Goldberg on this Motion. Mr. Goldberg represents that the United States has no objection to the requested continuance.
WHEREFORE, James J. Sheltema respectfully requests that this Court grant the present motion and continue the sentencing hearing to date in June of 2017.
CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I hereby certify that on March 6, 2017, I electronically filed the foregoing with the Clerk of the Court by using the CM/ECF system.
Respectfully submitted, By: /s/Sean M. Wagner Sean M. Wagner Florida Bar No. 14042 Wagner & Wagner, P.A. Attorney for James J. Scheltema 1900 S. Harbor City Blvd., Suite 124 Melbourne, FL 32901
So SCNP's former CEO and President has been deposed by the SEC prior to being sentenced on his guilty plea. This could be a coincidence or it could be Scheltema selling out SCNP to lessen his pending prison stay.
