January 14, 2013: We note that today Grand Pacaraima Gold Corp.'s symbol was changed by FINRA to BITCF, representing the company's status as a foreign issuer. The company also announced yesterday that it was changing its name to "First Bitcoin Capital Corp." We also note that schemer, "Professor Al", modified his iReport on CNN after we pointed out the fabrications in his story. We've saved the original version that he published and that can be accessed by clicking here. http://www.scribd.com/doc/199212062/The-iReport
January 13, 2014: On Friday, 10 January, a long-dormant penny stock called Grand Pacaraima Gold Corp. rocked Pennyland, rising an astonishing 2442.86 percent to close at $0.089 on volume of 8.4 million shares. Dead junior miners that never mined anything but investors' pockets don't often generate much excitement, but this was an exceptional case. In December, the company had submitted a corporate action request to FINRA for a ticker change, and that change became effective on 27 December. GPGD, as it once was, emerged as BITC.
