ARSD Rocked the Casbah today. I don't think anyone doubts the company is real, here's their refinery:

>> But actually, I think they probably went to the pinks because of this (from their 10K):

By letter dated March 11, 2003, the Company was advised that the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") was conducting an informal, non-public inquiry concerning disclosure matters relating to the Al Masane project and the Ministry's threatened termination of the Al Masane mining lease. The Company fully cooperated with the SEC in the conduct of the investigation, which became a formal investigation.

On October 16, 2003, without admitting or denying any findings of fact or conclusions of law, the Company agreed to a cease-and-desist order with the SEC settling alleged violations of the federal securities laws asserted by the SEC relating to developments not previously disclosed concerning the Company's mining lease for the Al Masane area of Saudi Arabia. In connection with the settlement, the Company agreed to (i) cease and desist from violating certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (ii) comply with certain undertakings designed to improve its reporting and record keeping practices and enhance its internal accounting controls. On the same date, without admitting or denying any findings of fact or conclusions of law, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Hatem El-Khalidi, agreed to a cease-and-desist order with the SEC settling alleged violations of the federal securities laws relating to the same matter and agreeing to pay a $25,000 penalty. In connection with the settlement, Mr. El-Khalidi agreed to cease and desist from violating certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934."
