Your CFO Pamela J Thompson involved in pump and dump scheme

SEC Charges Two Individuals in Pump and Dump Scheme Involving "Hijacking" a Public Shell Company and Counterfeiting Securities

The Commission today announced that it filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona against Mario A. Pino for violating the antifraud and securities registration provisions of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleges that Mario A. Pino usurped the "corporate identity" of Bancorp International Group, Inc. (BCIT), a public shell, by fabricating, issuing, and trading fraudulently issued shares of the company. The complaint also alleges that Pino issued false press releases between May 2 and July 13, 2005, and issued millions of shares of fraudulent BCIT stock to himself and others. The complaint alleges Pino sold 175,005,000 shares, earning profits of $269,033, in unregistered, non-exempt transactions into the resulting inflated market.

The complaint alleges that Pino violated Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Commission seeks a permanent injunction against Pino, disgorgement, including pre- and post-judgment interest, third-tier civil penalties, an officer and director bar, and a penny stock bar.

On February 25, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and Desist Proceedings, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 17A(c) and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Order) as to Pamela J. Thompson. The Order finds that, in April and May 2005, Thompson prepared false BCIT documents, including counterfeit stock certificates, while knowing she did not have the proper authority. Thompson is a resident of Phoenix, Arizona. During June and July 2005, Thompson received and sold two million shares of fraudulent BCIT stock, earning profits of $7,632. Thompson also acted as the transfer agent of BCIT between April and August 2005 even though she never registered as a transfer agent with the Commission. As a result of the conduct described above, Thompson committed violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act and willfully violated Section 17A of the Exchange Act and Rule 17Ac2-1 thereunder.

The Commission ordered that Thompson cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), 17(a)(2), and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Section 17A of the Exchange Act and Rule 17Ac2-1 thereunder; be barred from association with any transfer agent, with the right to reapply for association after three (3) years; and pay disgorgement of $7,632 and prejudgment interest of $830.82. The Commission is not imposing a penalty against Thompson based on her inability to pay. Finally, the Commission ordered Thompson to comply with her undertaking to cooperate with the Commission. Thompson consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order. [SEC v. Mario A. Pino, Civil Action No. 08-CV-353 (MHM), U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona] (LR-20466); (Administrative Proceeding - Rels. 33-8899; 34-57379; File No. 3-12969)
