Here's the "history" or "the team" page at the AGS website: http://www.agscapitalgroup.com/The_Team.html Here's how they describe their "Reserve Equity Financing": http://www.agscapitalgroup.com/Reserve_Equity_Financing.html Their "Linked In" page says some of the same stuff: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/ags-capital-group-llc/17/57a/104 Zero connections ? Hmmmm... Might be more useful to see what other connections do exist, and what sort of an experience others have had ? My quick look shows TTCS, TIE Technologies, announced a $15 million financing with them last year: http://www.foresceneweb.com/New-York-Web-Design-news/tie-technologies-secures-15-million-reserve-equity-financing-facility-with-ags-capital-group/ Looking at the TTCS charts, I don't see obvious evidence of significant shorting activity... It is actually another that has shown up on my "bottom fishing" screens recently... so, I'll probably be looking at them a bit more closely now..
