Tradestar Corporation (TSRR)

[Kool Aid Man]

When he was born Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. His father Isko was a shoemaker/repair guy and the family immigrated here while Eddie was a kid or teen. Not sure if he ever bothered to become a naturalized US citizen but that's neither here nor there. In the past 12 years he has fronted a dozen tickers and all are scams with not a single "business" to show for all that public money raised. It began with his ARTFEST INTERNATIONAL INC which he wrecked with mountains of toxic debts and massive reverse splits. One was a 1-for-50 R/S followed a year later by a 1-for-24,000!!!

In 2013 the SEC took him to task for lying to investors by claiming the books were audited. They gave him a 2nd chance to comply and he said he had begun the process. A month later they followed up and discovered he had lied to them about that as well. Here's the smackdown wherein the SEC "permanently revoked" the company.

IMO Eddie doesn't actually "own" these tickers. I personally think he's a front man for those that do. ARTFEST had ties to the criminals operating "Big Apple Consulting" (Google that). He had tried for several years to launch an art print MLM enterprise similar to the bankrupt INTERNATIONAL GALLERIES INC" (Google that as well and add "bankrupt") scam he was mixed up with before discovering penny scamming. IMO he took his idea to BAC and they helped him secure a ticker in need of a front man with a business idea to pump.

Here's the IHub board on BAC. You'll see that other Vakser run tickers were "clients." These included TSRR, PRPM (both appearing in ARTFEST filings as subsidiaries), PBHG, SUTI, and TDEY (changed to JMDP run by Eddie's old ARTFEST lawyer and toxic financier followed by a 1-for-50,000 R/S and now owned by someone else and trading as SLDX).

Read the Intro Boxes on these boards. Lots of info there.

IMO he's a habitual and unrepentant crook, a con man, a grifter and liar.
