In this investigation, the Commission staff has been investigating the manufacture of at least 22 undisclosed “blank check” companies (collectively, the “Shell Companies”) for sale by reverse merger by undisclosed control persons. Ex. 1, Cook Declaration, at ¶ 5. On April 16, 2015, the Commission filed an action in the Southern District of Florida against the central players in the fraud, SEC v. Daniel McKelvey, et al., Case No. 15-cv-80496-MARRA (S.D. Fla. 2015). See id. The Commission continues to investigate the gatekeepers of the fraud, including Ian Kass, a former Delaney registered representative who, among other things, filed applications with both the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in connection with the Shell Companies. Id. at ¶ 6. Kass took some of these actions during his employment or association with Delaney. Id.




Ian Kass had since changed brokers and started working for WILSON-DAVIS & CO., INC in Fort Lauderdale

But Wilson-Davis fired Ian Kass on 7/28/16 because of the allegations against him.

No coincidence that 7/28/16 was the same day that the Criminal Complaint was filed for this shell factory scheme

Delaney Equity Group LLC which is owned by David Delaney has a pretty bad history of participating in frauds. They were very actively involved in helping Big Apple Consulting with their share dilution scams

Market Maker Settles Charges in Fraudulent Pump-and Dump Scheme

U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Litigation Release No. 23736 / February 1, 2017

Securities and Exchange Commission v. Samuel DelPresto, et al., No. 15-cv-8656 (JLL) (D.N.J. filed Dec. 15, 2015)

Market Maker Settles Charges in Fraudulent Pump-and Dump Scheme

Washington, D.C., January 31, 2017 - The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Darren Goodrich has agreed to admit wrongdoing and pay more than $805,000 to settle charges the agency filed against him for his role in facilitating a scheme to manipulate the stocks of BioNeutral Group, Inc., NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc., Clear-Lite Holdings, Inc. and Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc. The settlement is subject to court approval.

According to the SEC's Second Amended Complaint filed on November 17, 2016, Goodrich facilitated the profitable dumping of the issuers' stock by using his dual role as market maker and registered representative to arrange for coordinated and matched trading between and amongst accounts owned or controlled by his cohorts. Goodrich also pleaded guilty today to criminal charges filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey.

The SEC's action in this matter also names as defendants Samuel DelPresto and MLF Group, LLC, both of Holmdel, New Jersey and Donald Toomer of Las Vegas, Nevada, all of whom the SEC previously charged with fraud for their respective roles in the alleged scheme. The SEC's action continues against these defendants.

The SEC's investigation was conducted by Rhonda L. Jung, Teresa A. Rodriguez, Melissa Coppola, Nancy A. Brown, Adam S. Grace and Wendy B. Tepperman, and the case is being supervised by Lara S. Mehraban. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
