Most likely from his convertible debt holders, he received almost that much in just one of the transactions from his old buddy, Ray Kripaitis, the KING of Goldy’s Repetitive convertible noteholders.
Kripaitis was also charged by the SEC with structuring financial transactions to avoid currency reporting requirements. He pleaded guilty.
In yet another instance, the SEC stated Kripaitis was engaging in acts, transactions, practices, etc. which operate as a fraud or deceit - they have barred Kripaitis from any longer acting as a broker.
Birds of a feather.
