You DO know that PTRZ has absolutely NOTHING to do with "Petro America" at all right? Perhaps you should read a little more carefully:
Page 11 of 39 from the Indictment:
Paragraph 20:
20. To confuse investors, Hawkins and his co-conspirators attempted to blur the lines between the acquired entities, none of which are related to Petro America. For example, Hawkins changed ASWD’s name to “Petro America Delaware,” because ASWD had previously traded on the Pink Sheets under the symbol ASWD. Hawkins then changed the ASWD symbol to PTRZ on June 12, 2009. Petro America's website might easily lead a reader to conclude that Petro Delaware is a true successor to Petro America. In fact, while Hawkins is the largest shareholder of Petro Delaware, (due to $22,500 worth of shares Hawkins purchased in his own name with Petro investor funds) Petro America is not a holder of record of any Petro Delaware shares. Moreover, there was no exchange of shares that would make the shareholders in Petro America holders of publicly-traded stock.
