Many trails lead back to the Canadian Mafia IMO. They have a history of parking second level crooks in their shells and milking shareholders with fake people, fake PRs, fake web sites, fake buyouts, etc.
According to documents obtained by The Vancouver Sun, Anthony Papalia — who was then in regular contact with Vito Rizzuto — was an active trader of Crys-Tel stock through Lines Overseas Management, a controversial Bermuda-based brokerage firm used by many Vancouver promoters.
Robert Papalia was also heavily involved in another bulletin board company called Nano World Projects Corp. In August 2004, the SEC barred him for life after he was found to have issued a series of false and misleading statements about Nano World’s business affairs. The B.C. Securities Commission similarly banned him.
