It turns out that not only is the list far larger than expected, but it also includes a group of related shells that I wrote about in a separate shell factory report without realizing they were linked to Mirman and Sanders. You can see links to both reports at the following post
Listed as Co-conspirators by name in the Criminal Complaint were Daniel McKelvey and Jeffrey L Lamson. Both McKelvey and Lamson were named as Defendants in the SEC Complaint from last year:
Listed as Co-conspirators but not by name were 1) a resident of Sarasota, Florida described as a "promoter and accountant for companies that were registered to do business in the State of Florida" and 2) a registered securities representative who conducted business in Boca Raton, Florida.
Unnamed Co-conspirator #1 might be Peter Messineo or Richard Confessore who worked with Messineo. Messineo was linked to the last 13 shells on the above list including the following:
A lot of those shells came under ownership of the same group that used them all for similar rinse repeat type dilution scams using debt Notes and reverse splits
