SEC Charges Eleven in Stock Manipulation Ring

[scion]

Finally, one other interesting point surfaced during the interview which does not appear anywhere in the affidavit. According to Mr. Woods, he informed the officers who questioned him in Texas that he had gotten the cash from Matt Brown's grill prior to transporting it. Mr. Woods stated to me that this was not correct and that he had actually picked it up off a table in Matt Brown's house just prior to his departing for Delaware. Mr. Woods told me that he had not been truthful to the officers on this point and regretted his bad judgment. He explained that because he didn't know if the cash was illegal or not, he did not want to say he received it directly from Matt so he made up the story that it was from the grill.
