There were a series of postings last year re: SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION Civil Action No: 03-61165, an alleged pump & dump scheme and several spammers. Does anyone know if this was resolved?
Thanks

Hey, Rap, Can you post a link. I've got some of this stuff on my cityofflint.net website. But, would like to include that information.
http://www.cityofflint.net/flint_jobs_where.htm That article was the begining of the scam. At least the one dealing with the casino. The journal even mentioned it in the lastest article about the casino. I thought they did a good job presenting the information. However, judging by the some of the stupid responses from people in the area in the talk back section. "That they thought the Mayor was doing a great thing lobbying for a casino in Flint" Totally ignoring the FACT that we could right now be putting the finishing touches on Flint's CASINO had he not underminded the whole process by wanting to build it in Mt Morris on his property. That was the main reason he wanted to be Mayor. How soon the people forget. Or is it just don't care.
In a major 100 defendant bust occurring in June of 2000 the Justice Department alleged that members of the country's five largest organized-crime families conspired to manipulate publicly traded securities in 19 companies, bilking investors out of $50 million over five years.
The Securities and Exchange Commission suspended trading in the securities of two stocks -- Wamex Holdings and EPawn.com -- involved in the alleged scheme.
Aiming to exploit the Internet boom by touting the companies as dot-com plays they promoted Wamex as an alternative online-trading system that would soon be available but the SEC said it wasn't lawfully authorized to operate such a system.
Prosecutors said that brokers who didn't play ball in the pump and dump scheme were subjected to beatings, intimidation and threats.
Many of the charges stemmed from a successful one-year undercover operation, code-named "Uptick" by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's New York office, with assistance from the SEC and the regulatory arm of the National Association of Securities Dealers. The operation involved surveillance devices at the office of DMN Capital Investments Inc, a small securities firm that prosecutors say was at the heart of the alleged manipulation.
The brokerage firms involved included First Liberty Investment Group Inc, William Scott & Co and Bryn Mawr Investment Group Inc. Other firms allegedly controlled or infiltrated by the mob group included Monitor Investment Group Inc; Meyers Pollack & Robbins, First Liberty Investment Group Inc and Atlantic General Financial Group.
Prosecutors have also alleged that Sterling Foster & Co and A R Baron & Co, two small securities firms, each bilked investors out of $75 million over six months. (Both firms now are out of business) |

Ted,
Many of the links are no longer valid. I researched this years ago and saved some data on my old computer.
some links can still be found under Epawn. and that is all I can find.
This case was dismissed and not useful other than case of precedence.
The wording on the Jet that was...hmm would have to look at exact wording. Don't want to get in trouble misstating facts.
No link was found between crime families and Epawn or International.
love ya,
RAP |

I will have to check in my "DON" file and see what else is in there. I did post that one press release that I thought would be needed again down the road. I didn't want that to dissappear.
Oh and it is needed because he is up to his old tricks again. |
