Richard Rosenblum I'm not familiar with off the top of my head. But I see here that he was named in a lawsuit along with Siegel and VFinance in 2004:

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=2708098


Marc Siegel / vFinance I recall from some old Mob on Wall Street related litigation linked to UBUY/E-Pawn (old Lesley Greying mob linked scam). Siegel wasn't named in the DOJ Indictment or SEC Complaint, but he was named in a lawsuit filed by UBUY against several of its former executives, insiders, and service providers:

http://securities.stanford.edu/filings-documents/1028/UBYH03-01/20031112_r01c_0361165.html

From that lawsuit:

FIRST LEVEL CAPITAL INC. N/K/A VFINANCE, INC, has violated S.E.C. Rule 144 together with 15 U.S.C. 78j, 78t, 78i, 77l, 77o, 78k and 78t-1 by engaging in the following prohibited activities with respect to the publicly traded securities of E-PAWN during the period from January 1, 2000 through June 14, 2000.

(A) Allowing customers to sell or transfer in brokerage transactions, E-PAWN common stock that was restricted without lawfully complying with the Rules and Regulations of the S.E.C. and particularly with S.E.C. Rule 144 in the removal of such restrictive stock trading legends when the company was not then current in its filing requirements.

(B) Manipulating the market price for E-PAWN common stock by allowing customers to engage in naked short sales, short sales against restricted securities, front running, and other manipulative schemes and devices.

(C) Trading in E-PAWN securities while in possession of material non- public information.

(D) Trading in E-PAWN securities during a period of time when E-PAWN was delinquent in its S.E.C. Filing Requirements and when there was no public information available about the financial condition of E-PAWN or the number of shares of E-PAWN common stock then available either to the general public, the brokerage firms and their individual brokers, E-PAWNS accountants and financial advisors or the S.E.C.

(E) Failure to notify either the S.E.C. or any recognized stock exchange of the financial delinquencies concerning E-PAWN common stock.

Due to the foregoing violations of law, rules and regulations, FIRST LEVEL CAPITAL INC. N/K/A VFINANCE, INC, is liable for damages and consequential damages, which have been suffered by the Plaintiffs. FIRST LEVEL CAPITAL INC. N/K/A VFINANCE, INC has also violated Florida Statute 517.301 and is liable to the Plaintiffs for rescission pursuant to Florida Statute 517.211.


24) MARC N. SIEGEL is the registered principal of FIRST LEVEL SECURITIES, INC. and was charged by law with the responsibility of providing regulatory compliance by FIRST LEVEL SECURITIES, INC. MARC N. SIEGEL knowingly or recklessly failed to provide such regulatory compliance for and on behalf of FIRST LEVEL SECURITIES, INC., and was also an active participant in the conspiratorial fraud schemes which were being perpetrated during the January to June, 2000 time period when the E-PAWN fraud scheme was being carried out by all of the multiple defendants through repeated and multiple violations of S.E.C. Rule 144, and 15 U.S.C. 78i and 78t together with other United States and State of Florida law, rules and regulations.



Even though Siegel avoided being disciplined as part of the E-Pawn scam, he didn't escape the wrath of the SEC for long. In 2005 he was named in an SEC Complaint for his role in manipulating the stock price of Gateway International Holdings, Inc during 2001 while it was known as Gourmet Gifts, Inc.

As a result of the litigation, FINRA suspended Siegel and he never worked as a FINRA registered broker again:

I also have notes on a Marc Siegel being partners with Alvin Mirman in the 1990s (Mirman was Indicted for his role in a big shell factory a few years ago).

https://otcmarketresearch.com/james-schneider-sentenced-to-7-years-for-his-role-in-massive-shell-factory/

Not 100% sure if it was the same Marc Siegel, but here are those notes:

Interesting. Alvin Mirman was business partners with Marc Siegel and the Siegel family going back to the mid 1990s

Siegel and Mirman were big parts of the JGBO shell when it went public as NewAgeCities.com Inc in 1999. The service providers used for the Sb-2 in 1999 were James M Schneider and Steven J Sherb.

NewAgeCities.com Inc was merged with Genesis Technology Group Inc in 2001 which brought Adam Wasserman into the mix (it was Wasserman's first public shell).

That explains why Wasserman used Sherb and Schneider so much for the next several years.

It also explains why the Siegel family used Wasserman again for at least 3 other tickers - CDII, BIGG, and LWLL

Very fitting that Schneider got busted for helping Mirman with his shell factory all those years later

Also very fitting that Sherb ended up being banned because of work he did with Chinese rm scams
