The preliminary injunction ordered the Blackstar to honor the conversion requests of November 2, 2023. GS Capital received the first tranche December 21st before a stay order was granted to Blackstar. That 30 day stay is up next week unless the court extends it. We also know from the partial conversion dated November 2nd that the GS Capital note language secured a conversion price of only $0.00012 per share. If they received their shares on November 2nd the day they requested it and they could have banked 96K from the sale with a closing price of $0.0016, but of course they likely didn't. The closing price by Monday November 6th was $0.0048 or $288K on the 96 million shares. The truth is probably somewhere in between but you can see how much just this original conversions will cost retail traders of this stock. Now maybe understand why the promotion here was so heavy. GS Capital only had a small share of the conversions, Diagonal Lending made a bloody fortune. My question is if they dumped those shares without observing the rule 144 holding period will they attract attention of the SEC. They could be targeted because the profits were obscene and there would be a lot to go after.

Additionally, convertible note issuers with a track record of driving toxic financing deals generally limit the holding period on their notes to six months for SEC-reporting companies. The Securities Act of 1933 requires all unregistered securities acquired directly from the issuer to be held for at least six months, which is why a six-month timeframe is often given as the holding period on toxic debt.

by Howard Mulligan August 15, 2023 in Financial Services

In March 2022, a Florida district court dealt with a defendant that purchased convertible notes of over 100 microcap issuers, converted the notes into shares of stock at massive discounts and then dumped over 17.5 billion shares into the public market, generating over $21.5 million in profits.
In August 2022, the SEC initiated an action for failure to register and then entered into a settlement with a noteholder that, from 2016-2020, purchased approximately 250 convertible notes and profitability sold the converted shares. In the settlement, the defendants agreed to (1) pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest of $8,390,601.27, (2) the entry of a civil penalty of $810,307 and (3) a five-year suspension from acting as a penny-stock dealers.
