SEC moves to tumble a house of cards

The agency alleges Beverage Creations is just a shell firm for a scheme to sell stock at inflated prices and in violation of SEC rules.

A fledgling Mendota Heights company that promised to develop the next generation of sports drink is no more than a shell for a "pump and dump" stock scheme involving a small group of investors hoping to get rich quick, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleges.

But the SEC suspended the trading of the shares this week and filed a civil complaint Thursday against Beverage Creations and three Texas stock promoters. The complaint alleges that they attempted to sell shares at inflated prices and in violation of SEC disclosure laws.

"The promoters are engaged in a 'pump and dump' of [Beverage Creations] stock, hyping the stock through spam e-mails and advertising mailers filled with specious claims, while reselling millions of shares in their own accounts for substantial profits," the SEC complaint says. "For its part, [Beverage Creations] is misleading investors by disclaiming its relationship to the stock promoters."
