Dallas penny stocks site MN1 stops broadcasting after report

"There were a lot of hardworking people who gave everything and lost a lot by trying to keep MN1 alive," Angela Junell, who handled sales, advertising and some public relations duties for MN1, said in an e-mail this week. "After your newspaper article that had Josh all over it, from then on, all we could do is go down."

Mr. Lankford, who was barred from the securities industry in October for failing to cooperate with a regulatory inquiry, could not be reached for comment. His lawyer, Spencer Barasch, said MN1 has not closed for good.

"There has been some downsizing," he said.

Said Ms. Junell: "Nobody's getting paid. MN1 is still MN1, but they're just not doing anything."

The Web site, www.mn1.com, used streaming video to offer news reports, interviews and talk shows.

It focused on penny stocks, the shares of tiny companies trading on exchanges such as the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and the Pink Sheets. Regulators describe such shares as risky, and the stocks traditionally attract little coverage from the mainstream media.

The News' article said Mr. Lankford or his companies were major shareholders in several of the stocks spotlighted by MN1 in financial analysts' reports. Other featured stocks had ties to Mr. Lankford's friends and business partners.

Back in November, Mr. Barasch said MN1 "goes to every effort to disclose any potential conflict of interest or any interest that any employee in MN1 might have in any company that's featured on MN1."

Mr. Lankford also was accused in two lawsuits of manipulating the price of two stocks, including one featured on the site while the suit was pending.

MN1 television personality Michael Willingham defended the Web site to viewers after The News published its story.

"It's a difficult situation because we are, may we say, trying to blaze a trail and talk about stocks that are not being talked about very much," said Mr. Willingham, who goes by the nickname "Mike the Analyst."

Mr. Willingham, whose reports led to some of the questions raised by The News, heads a financial analysis company called Micros Report, which produced many of the reports featured on MN1.

Ms. Junell, the former MN1 employee, said she was unaware of Mr. Lankford's potential conflicts of interest until the The News' story in November and an earlier article in March.

"He gave blood, sweat and tears to try to keep MN1 running," she said. "He really is a great guy. He worked very hard to try to make it all work."

FIVE INDICTED FOR DEVISING AND PARTICIPATING IN MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR STOCK MANIPULATION
Defendant Co-conspirators Allegedly Profited in Excess of $41 Million in Illegal Securities "Pump and Dump Scheme"

The indictment also charges Dallas-area resident Joshua Wayne Lankford, 35. Lankford's current location is unknown, and law enforcement officials are seeking him as a fugitive.

In a related action, the Securities and Exchange Commission today filed a civil enforcement action in the Northern District of Oklahoma against Gordon, Lankford, and Sheptycki. That civil case number is 09-CV-061.
