Big Apple Consulting

I just remembered I did some research on them in the past. They have been involved in another company that I ran across due to a very short lived pump related to a bankruptcy filing that got denied - Apple Rush Company Inc (APRU). The company put out a bunch of misleading forward statements about its financial situation to go with the bankruptcy denial news and the pumpers jumped on board.

The pump flopped and the stock plummeted, but anyways here is the research on Big Apple Consulting:

Eastwind Research did a very noteworthy November press release campaign. Noteworthy because of the interesting collection of companies they were involved in promoting:

All these promotion sites use one thing in common. The phone number on their press releases:

Being based in Florida according to one contact page you'd expect a Florida business entity to exist, but I could find none. The press releases are all sent out of Dover, Delaware and sure enough there is a Delaware Business entity for Penny Lane Reports LLC formed on 1/13/10
