RE: RRHI - Raptor Resources Holdings, Inc. Scam???
The CEO, Alfred M. "Al" Pietrangelo, was involved with the Dark Dynamite [DKDY] fiasco too. The pattern there was to issue hundreds of millions of shares of stock to officers and "consultants", sell, reverse split to bring the price back up and repeat the process. A $2,000,000 investment bought and held is worth about a buck today. He was named as one of the "consultants" back then.
I found at least one lawsuit claiming fraud and racketeering naming him as a codefendant. The case was dismissed on technicalities. "...to base a RICO claim on predicate acts of mail or wire fraud, a plaintiff must state "the identity of the person who made the misrepresentation, the time, place and content of the misrepresentation, and the method by which the misrepresentation was communicated to the plaintiff." Id. (internal quotations omitted), Inasmuch as Plaintiff has not made any such allegations of mail or wire fraud or alleged any other racketeering activity as defined by the RICO statute, he has failed to state a claim under 18 U.S.C."
However, the jusdge suggested the plaintiff re-file in State Court.
All of the entities, Raptor Resources Holdings, Inc., Raptor Networks/Mabwe Minerals, Inc. [RPTN], Lantis Laser, Inc and TAG Minerals, Inc, list their "headquarters" as 41 Howe Ln, Freehold, NJ. This is Alf's home. There are a number of other "business/companies" connected to this address, including a scrap jewelry operation, Metal & Gem Conversion, LLC.
