Two articles below dated 2023 about the SEC coming down on lenders failing to register as dealers and dumping unregistered shares. The consequences of SEC action in the cases described is severe. I would imagine that these lenders banking such huge profits as it is from their average conversions of only $0.00017 may want to dot their i's. If that is the case these lawsuit shares will be rolled out in the months well into 2024. Take the partial conversion that GS Capital received before filing the lawsuit of 59,998,666 shares. We know from the 8K that GS Capital made their share requests on November 2nd so the 180 day rule 144 holding period would take eligibility out to the beginning of May. The GS Capital December 21st court ordered conversion of 62,084,333 shares, will that be June 2024 or do they start the clock from November? You see that the tranches of shares are issued in the neighborhood of 60 million for GS Capital. Per the rules and the language of the notes the lenders are limited to conversions of less than 4.99% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.
So we see the share count increase in January, we have had one for February so far, count 180 days... you get the picture. We will see how this goes but Blackstar isn't running infomercials just for everyone's entertainment. 🤣

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.

Stock Issuers & SEC Taking the Fight to ‘Toxic’ Lenders
by Howard Mulligan August 15, 2023 in Financial Services
Agency bringing actions against convertible noteholders for failing to register as dealers
https://www.corporatecomplianceinsights.com/sec-toxic-lenders/#:~:text=Since%20early%202020%2C%20the%20SEC,required%20by%20the%20Securities%20and
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.
