That's interesting, isn't it? From the litigation notice:
The complaint alleges that the defendants created and distributed various forms of promotional material for, among other issuers, a purported oil-exploration-and-development company known as PrimeGen Energy Corp. PrimeGen claimed to be headquartered in New Jersey and to have active operations in Russia. According to its press releases, PrimeGen supposedly brought at least twelve oil wells into production in 2009 and generated many millions of dollars in revenues. The complaint alleges, however, that PrimeGen was phony: its corporate headquarters were a rented mailbox in a UPS Store opened with a do-not-forward instruction; its phone line was unattended; and its web page was generated by copying the source code from another company’s web site.
Does that sound familiar to anyone here? A made-up company. Imagine that.
I suspect the SEC will be going after the companies at a later date. Meanwhile, I wouldn't want to be TheWallStBulls. Or any other promoter. It appears the SEC now expects them to do reasonable due diligence on the companies they represent.
Guess this also tells us why Kenneth Eade was contacted by the SEC.
