Sooo u think they will be coming back under a different ticker? Damn i hope so, still holding some. They don't have to notify stock holders that they are deleting their symbol???
Playing these scams, knowing they're a scam, is actually aiding and abetting a financial crime.
The elements necessary to convict under aiding and abetting theory are
1. That the accused had specific intent to facilitate the commission of a crime by another;
2. That the accused had the requisite intent of the underlying substantive offense;
3. That the accused assisted or participated in the commission of the underlying substantive offense; and
4. That someone committed the underlying offense.
A defendant associates with a criminal venture if he shares in the criminal intent of the principal, and the defendant participates in criminal activity if he has acted in some affirmative manner designed to aid the venture. Landerman, 109 F.3d at 1068 n.22. The level of participation may be of relatively slight moment. Leos-Quijada, 107 F.3d at 794. Also, it does not take much evidence to satisfy the facilitation element once the defendant's knowledge of the unlawful purpose is established. United States v. Bennett, 75 F.3d 40, 45 (1st Cir. 1996
Rather than deleting the following personal diatribe, I'm including it as opinion
When will the authorities get the balls and funding to clean up these markets ? IMO, never as long as big money makes big bucks off these scams. The promoters, CEOs, insiders, lawyers, and all the other facilitators and scam artists don't really make much money (in relation to investor losses). So who does ? And why is it such a rarity when we do find the names of the funders, the real ones who find a dummy to front.
