MYEC - I'm not sure. Maybe the shares were already issued so there was little the TA could do at that point anyways. Instead they went after Scottsdale Securities since Scottsdale was the clearing firm/broker being used to help sell the shares into the market. They wanted to freeze the rest of the stock before it could hit the market.
In the exhibits here you can see where Edward Starrs did contact the TA ahead of filing the lawsuit trying to stop transfer of the remaining shares
It's interesting that despite claiming that he learned that the Tangiers/SweetSun deal was fraudulent in early October of 2013, Edward Starrs didn't start sending letters to Signature Stock Transfer, Scottsdale Capital, and Alpine Securities until more than a month later in November of 2013.
After reading all the documents in the case I highly doubt that the Sweetsun falsely claimed they made a deal with Tangiers without Tangier's knowledge thus fooling MYEC into issuing 1,440,000,000 free trading shares of stock for $14,400 worth of debt. I think Edward Starrs was 100% on board with what these Belize entities were doing.
I'm just not sure what changed in October of 2013. I'm not sure if Edward Starrs was unsatisfied with the amount of money that Sweetsun Intertrade Inc was actually kicking back to MYEC from the share sales per their original agreement or if he had decided he wanted to use Sierra Global LLC to start selling shares and didn't want the competition of Sierra Global LLC having to sell 650,000,000 shares into the market at the same time as the Belize entities were dumping the last 530,005,000 of their shares.
