Not current but interesting just the same. The California stock tout charged alongside Vancouver's Oliver Lindsay for an OTC Markets scheme, made his sentencing pitch. He asked a San Diego judge to spare him jail. He says that he did not purposely set out to run a pump-and-dump, and that he only landed in trouble after he began associating with a "longtime crook" who led him to the scheme with Lindsay. He has since co-operated fully with prosecutors, providing thousands of text messages he exchanged with others, among other materials.

The request came as part of a case in which prosecutors cited him and others for a $1.57-million scheme. The government said he ran a touting site called TheMoneyStreet, and was part of an effort to boost a supposed medical device maker called Kelvin Medical Inc. The two together entered manipulative trades in the midst of a promotional campaign run through TheMoneyStreet, the government said. He pleaded guilty on July 19, 2019.

From FBI San Diego:

Two Defendants Sentenced to Prison for Pump-and-Dump Stock Fraud Scheme were sentenced to 12 months and 17 months in prison, respectively, for participating in a pump-and-dump securities fraud scheme.
