The pump sites and newsletters they use seem to be Stock Castle and associates. I guess we now know why there haven't been any promos from them recently.

21. The Defendants worked in concert to effectuate the scheme. Among other things:

• Aaron wrote, created, and helped design the email and website promotions;

• Shalon contributed to the email content, sent out the promotional emails, and approved the use of funds by Orenstein to purchase domain names; and

• Orenstein handled back-office duties, such as setting up websites, maintaining brokerage accounts using aliases, directing payments to third parties; and often communicating with the financial firms about these accounts on behalf of the Defendants.

22. In each case, the Defendants' promotional campaign was accompanied by a spate of contemporaneous press releases put out by the issuer, many of which were suspicious in both their timing and content.

23. In each case, after the Defendants' promotional campaign ceased (and the Defendants and their associates had sold their shares), the stock price and trading volume plummeted, leaving investors with losses and with holdings of relatively illiquid stock.
