Integrated Ventures Inc (INTV)

Damn our CEO is a criminal... pump and dump schemes ouch

Just a week later, Anton agreed to sell a controlling interest in the company to Steve Rubakh, who at that time owned a company called EMS Factory, Inc. A reverse merger was arranged, and Rubakh ended up with slightly more voting rights than Shang Fei. He was also appointed president, CEO, CFO, treasurer, secretary, and a director.

A little more than two months later, the pump began. Ciapala himself participated in some of the trading. After all, his client was paying for a full-service “asset manager.”

Since that time, the company has enjoyed one huge run that very briefly took it nearly to $5 a share. It’s since collapsed to a penny. Steve Rubakh is still CEO, but he and INTV, as it’s now known, are into bitcoin. It seems possible that Rubakh provided information to the authorities. At the time of the 2015 pump, he issued a press release informing shareholders and the investing public that the campaign hadn’t been authorized by the company. Another person who may have cooperated is Ciapala’s partner Anthony Killarney. Though he’s named as a defendant in the Boston lawsuit, he isn’t even mentioned in connection with Blacklight, in which he was Ciapala’s partner, in the New York suit. Nor is he named in the DOJ’s indictment of Blacklight and Ciapala, and Debo.
