If it has been manipulated by Alan Santini then shame on you...the SEC has eyes and ears..
Of course it is being manipulated by Santini. Santini is a lying scumbag.
He has been the CEO of this company for almost a year. During his tenure here, we have seen lies about dividends (Since last Dec's HGLC promised divi), lies about an audit being completed, (since last January) lies about a stock buyback and the cancellation of shares in the O/S (since June) and lies about acquisitions (all along)
Santini is nothing more than a classic penny stock scammer. Absolute proof positive of this has been the lies about the financial company "acquisitions" He is just like every other con man in the pink sheet game who says he "bought" some other company and when you go to check out what he "bought" you find it is a company he himself has just recently created (as is the case with Trinity Merchantile "acquisition"). It reminds me of the convicted stock fraud swindler, Patrick Downs of IDWD/AVLN infamy.
Don't forget that we have been able to trace the Stephen Lumb connections to this scam all the way back to the UK and Hanover/St James Capital. Santini is an officer of St James. He has been around this stock through his involvement at St James through all of the reverse splits, CEO musical chairs games lies about dividends, etc for almost 5 years.
Anyone who thinks Santini is a good guy is out of their minds or extremely uninformed.
