wateroven,
Based on a prior post of yours, I believe you may know a lot of the private placement investors. In my area, we have a TV station that does "9 On Your Side" pieces involving people or firms that swindle other folks. If you have access to something like this and they do a piece on you and others who were scammed by a company, it is a sure-fire way to get the attention of local authorities, even the feds if appropriate.
