[PLNI]: James Turek, former CEO of Plasticon International, Inc. sentenced to 18 years in prison for massive fraud

Former President of Lexington Company Sentenced to 18 Years for Multi-Million-Dollar Fraud Scheme

LEXINGTON—The former president of a Lexington-based company was sentenced today to 18 years in prison for defrauding thousands of investors nationwide out of more than $18 million.

U.S. Chief District Judge Jennifer B. Coffman sentenced 67-year-old James Norman Turek for committing securities fraud and tax fraud. In June, a jury convicted Turek after a two-week trial.

The evidence at trial showed that Turek headed Plasticon International Inc., a penny stock company. Plasticon made recycled plastic products.

According to the evidence, from 2004 to 2006, Turek lured approximately 8,500 investors into purchasing Plasticon stock by falsely claiming that Plasticon was profitable when he knew that the company was losing millions of dollars. In statements to investors and in press releases, Turek also falsely claimed that the company owned valuable patents.

The evidence further demonstrated that Turek told investors he was working for nothing when, in fact, he was taking millions of dollars from Plasticon. Turek obtained the money by issuing billions of shares of company stock to himself. In order to execute his scheme, Turek transferred the stock into the names of friends and family members, including his deceased aunt, before selling the stock to unsuspecting investors. He also falsely claimed on backdated documents that he had previously loaned money to the company, so that payments to him looked like repayment of the loans.

The evidence also revealed that Turek filed false tax returns for the years 2003 through 2007 by failing to report approximately $12 million that he obtained from Plasticon.

Kerry B. Harvey, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky; Kathryn M. Keneally, Assistant Attorney General for the Tax Division, United States Department of Justice; Perrye Turner, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation; and Christopher A. Henry, Special Agent in Charge, Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division, jointly made the announcement today.

The investigation was conducted by the FBI and the IRS-Criminal Investigation Division. The U.S. Attorney’s Office was represented in the case by Department of Justice Trial Attorney Kenneth C. Vert and Assistant United States Attorney John Patrick Grant.

[EIGH]: Scam company 8000, Inc. and Jonathan E. Bryant charged with massive fraud by the SEC




U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 22495 / September 27, 2012

Securities and Exchange Commission v. 8000, Inc., Jonathan E. Bryant, Thomas J. Kelly, and Carl N. Duncan, Esq., Civil Action No. 12-CV-7261 (S.D.N.Y.)

SEC Charges Company and its Two Principals and Attorney in Stock Manipulation Scheme

The Securities and Exchange Commission filed an enforcement action on September 27, 2012, in federal court in New York charging 8000, Inc., Jonathan E. Bryant, Thomas J. Kelly, and Carl N. Duncan, Esq. for their roles in a scheme to manipulate 8000, Inc.'s stock price. The complaint charges the defendants misrepresented 8000, Inc.'s financial condition to investors while simultaneously selling, or facilitating the sale of, the company's securities in violation of the antifraud and securities registration provisions of the federal securities laws. According to the complaint, the defendants' scheme increased the volume of trading in 8000, Inc., by 93% and the company's stock price from less than $0.01 per share to $0.42 per share between November 2009 and October 2010.

Securities of 8000, Inc., a Virginia-based company, were quoted on OTC Pink operated by OTC Markets Group LLC (OTC Markets). The complaint alleges that Bryant and Kelly disseminated financial reports and press releases falsely representing that 8000, Inc. had millions of dollars in capital financing and revenues when, in fact, the company had neither. The complaint further alleges that, as they drove 8000, Inc.'s stock price higher with the false information, Bryant, of Hole Town, Barbados, sold 56.8 million shares of 8000, Inc. into the market, reaping substantial profits. The shares that Bryant sold were allegedly "restricted" shares that he should not have sold into the market at that time. Kelly, of Levittown, Pennsylvania, allegedly profited from the scheme by buying and selling the company's securities in the secondary market.

The Commission's complaint charges that Duncan, who served as securities counsel to 8000, Inc., participated in the scheme by providing false legal opinions to the company's transfer agent that improperly removed the restrictions on Bryant's shares and enabled Bryant to unlawfully sell the restricted shares into the market. According to the complaint, Duncan also provided false legal opinions to OTC Markets that ensured that 8000, Inc.'s common stock would continue to be quoted on OTC Pink. Duncan, of Bethesda, Maryland, received one million shares of 8000, Inc. from Bryant, but was impeded from selling those shares after the Commission issued an order on November 4, 2010, suspending trading in the securities of 8000, Inc.

The Commission alleges that 8000, Inc. violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and that Kelly and Bryant violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5(a) and (c) and that they aided and abetted the violations of Section 17(a) and Section 10(b) of the Exchange and Rule 10b-5 by 8000, Inc. The Commission also alleges Bryant is liable for 8000, Inc.'s violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 as the company's control person and that Bryan violated Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act. The Commission is seeking permanent injunctions, disgorgement plus prejudgment interest, and civil penalties against 8000, Inc., Bryant and Kelly, and against Bryant and Kelly penny stock bars.

Duncan, who has agreed to settle the matter subject to Court approval, without admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission's complaint, consented to the entry of a final judgment that would permanently enjoin him from violating Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act and from preparing or issuing any opinion letter in connection with the offer or sale of securities pursuant to, or claiming an exemption under, Section 4(1) of the Securities Act and Rules 144 and 802 under the Securities Act, including without limitation, signing an opinion letter or preparing an opinion letter to be signed by another person, related to such offering. The final judgment would also permanently bar Duncan from participating in the offering of any penny stock and order him to disgorge the $15,570 in legal fees that he received from Bryant and to pay $524.98 in prejudgment interest and a $25,000 civil penalty. Duncan, in a related administrative proceeding to be instituted by the Commission, has also agreed to be permanently suspended from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an attorney.

The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Derbyshire, U.K. Police in this matter.

[EIGH]: Scam company EIGH promoter Jerry S. Williams (Monk) charged with massive securities fraud by the SEC

.
.
http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2012/lr22420.htm

SEC CHARGES STOCK PROMOTER IN INTERNET-BASED SCALPING SCHEME.


U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Litigation Release No. 22420 / July 23, 2012

Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jerry S. Williams, Monk’s Den, LLC, and First In Awareness, LLC, 3:12-cv-01068 (District of Connecticut, Complaint filed July 20, 2012)

SEC CHARGES STOCK PROMOTER IN INTERNET-BASED SCALPING SCHEME.

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on July 20, 2012, it filed a civil fraud action against former Connecticut resident Jerry S. Williams, a stock promoter, and two companies that he controlled, Monk’s Den, LLC and First In Awareness, LLC. The Commission charged Williams with running a scalping scheme from which he made over $2.4 million. Scalping is a type of fraud in which the owner of shares of a security recommends that security for investment and then immediately sells it at a profit upon the rise in market price which follows the recommendation.

The Commission’s Complaint alleges that from at least early 2009 through at least the end of 2010, Williams recommended two stocks, Cascadia Investments, Inc. and Green Oasis Environmental, Inc., to a large group of potential investors who followed his trading recommendations and strategies. According to the Complaint, Williams, who was known to his followers as “Monk,” used his internet-based message board (called “Monk’s Den”), in-person seminars (called “Monkinars”), and other means to encourage people to buy, hold, and accumulate Cascadia and Green Oasis stock. In particular, the Complaint alleges that Williams told potential investors that by buying up the outstanding shares, or float, of these companies, they could collectively trigger a “short squeeze” that would allow them to sell their stock to “market makers” that had shorted the stock. The Commission’s Complaint alleges that Williams falsely stated that he had previously used this strategy to make himself and others enormous profits. The Complaint alleges that in fact, unknown to potential investors, Williams had been hired by Cascadia and Green Oasis to promote their stock and had been compensated with millions of free and discounted shares of these stocks. According to the Complaint, Williams secretly sold millions of Cascadia and Green Oasis shares at the same time he was encouraging potential investors to buy, hold and accumulate these stocks. Through this scheme, the Complaint alleges, Williams made over $2.4 million.

The Commission’s Complaint charged Williams, First In Awareness, LLC and Monk’s Den, LLC with violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5(a), (b), and (c) thereunder. The Commission also charged Williams with violating Sections 17(a)(1), 17(a)(2), 17(a)(3) and 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The Commission is seeking permanent injunctions, disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties against each defendant and, as to Williams only, a penny stock bar.

The Commission’s investigation is continuing.

For further information, see Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Release 34-63242 (November 4, 2010) [order suspending trading in the securities of 8000, Inc.].

[PLNI]: James N. Turek, Former CEO of scam company Plasticon International, Inc., convicted on all 13 counts of securities and tax fraud



Jury convicts Lexington man of defrauding investors of $18 million

Published: June 22, 2012 Updated 12 minutes ago
By Greg Kocher — gkocher1@herald-leader.com

A federal jury found the former president of a Lexington-based company guilty Friday on all counts of defrauding thousands of investors nationwide of $18 million.

The jury convicted James Norman Turek, 66, of Lexington on eight counts of securities fraud and five counts of tax fraud.

After the verdicts were returned, U.S. District Chief Judge Jennifer B. Coffman found that Turek was a flight risk, and he was taken into custody by a U.S. marshal. Coffman scheduled sentencing for Sept. 27.

Turek faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years on each count of securities fraud and three years on each count of tax fraud. However, Coffman must consider sentencing guidelines and the applicable statutes before imposing the sentence.

The trial was prosecuted by Department of Justice's trial attorney Kenneth C. Vert and Assistant U.S. Attorney John Patrick Grant. Asked whether any investors will get any money back, U.S. Attorney Kerry B. Harvey said it is "too early to know that."

"Certainly, we will make every effort, using the tools available to us, to try to get restitution for the victims," Harvey said. "We're closer to the beginning of that process than the end."

Defense attorney Elizabeth Hughes of Lexington had no comment.

A 2011 indictment alleged that Turek engaged in a securities-fraud scheme from 2004 to 2006 in which he promoted Plasticon International Inc. stock by releasing false and misleading information about the company. Plasticon was a penny stock company and made recycled plastic products but had few sales, according to a release from the U.S. attorney's office.

According to the evidence, from 2004 to 2006, Turek lured about 8,500 investors to buy Plasticon stock by falsely claiming that Plasticon was profitable when he knew that the company was losing millions of dollars.

In statements to investors and in press releases, Turek also falsely claimed that the company owned valuable patents.

The evidence showed that Turek told investors that he was working for nothing when he was stealing millions of dollars from Plasticon. Turek stole the money by issuing billions of shares of company stock to himself.

Turek, who was president of Plasticon from about 1994 to 2007, claimed on false and backdated documents that he had previously lent money to the company. In order to execute the scheme, Turek transferred the stock to the names of friends and relatives, including his deceased aunt, before selling the stock to unsuspecting investors.

The evidence also showed that Turek filed false tax returns from 2003 to 2007 by failing to report about $12 million that he stole from Plasticon.

The trial began June 11. The jury deliberated for about 90 minutes Thursday and for nearly three hours Friday before returning the verdicts.

Harvey said securities and tax fraud cases are "very complicated."

"These cases require a team effort and hundreds of hours poring over thousands of documents, and a lot of good old-fashioned police work coupled with very sophisticated financial analysis," Harvey said.

[EIGH]: Scam company 8000, Inc. is caught in yet more false statements to its stockholders

.
.
1. In this amazing Facebook post to its stockholders, scam company 8000, Inc. (EIGH) states that its real name is "8000 Inc.", without the comma (,) between the "8000" and "Inc." and that its stock certificates should not have the comma included in the name:

Share holder update

by 8000inc
on Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 3:43pm.

The company has received many email from shareholders, how have received certificates named 8000, Inc. (Please note the comma - these certificates are not from 8000 Inc.)

The only valid certificates are named 8000 Inc.

We are aware of a company, based in Florida named 8000, Inc and we are investigating this as a matter of urgency as this appears to be suspicious.

Please review the link:

We ask every shareholder to check their certificates and report any findings to the Company and the TA.

Thank you.

[POTG]: Portage Resources Inc. responds to comments by the_worm06 regarding its July 20, 2011 press release

.
.
Two days ago, on July 20th, the_worm06 pointed out that Portage Resources Inc.'s (POTG) July 20th press release failed to state the terms or value of the definitive agreement to acquire a Peruvian mining concession. the_worm06 also pointed out that POTG was deceiving the investment public by including a paragraph describing a large Peruvian mining entity which had nothing to do with the mining concession or POTG - and that POTG failed to include the name of the entity that it was purchasing the concession from:


http://theworm06.blogspot.com/2011/07/potg-portage-resources-inc-announces.html



How did POTG respond to the_worm06's comments?

Today POTG issued a press release whereby it finally named the entity/individual that it contracted with to purchase the concession and finally stated the purchase price and terms of the transaction:


Portage Resources Inc. Releases Further Details on the Recently Announced Acquisition of the CORDILLERA NEGRA Mining Concession Near Antamina Mining Complex
http://snipurl.com/266w19



Not surprisingly, it turns out that the seller of the concession is not a large corporate entity backed by large international conglomerates, but only an individual by the name of

Claver Albert Huerta Morales

In addition, the total purchase price is only $1.545 million, which is paid over 42 months with the first payment due in 13 months. This would be considered insignificant compared to the current market value of POTG of about $500 million.

[POTG]: Portage Resources Inc. announces signing of Definitive Agreement - What is wrong with this picture?

.
.
1. In a press release issued today by Portage Resources Inc. (POTG), the company states that its wholly owned subsidiary has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a mining concession in Peru (see the press release below).

2. POTG fails to state the terms or value of the acquisition.

3. POTG fails to state the name of the entity that agreed to sell the mining concession, yet in a paragraph at the end of the press release (see bold below), POTG mentions and describes a Peruvian entity, Compania Minera Antamina SA, with large corporate owners as though this is the entity that agreed to sell the concession.

4. What is wrong with this picture? Is Compania Minera Antamina SA the entity that agreed to sell the concession? Then why is this not stated in the press release?

5. What is wrong with this picture?


==================



The POTG press release:


http://snipurl.com/26rcts

Portage Resources Inc. Through Its Wholly Owned Subsidiary Portage Minerals S.A. Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire the CORDILLERA NEGRA Mining Concession Near Antamina Mining Complex

[EIGH]: Scam company 8000, Inc. issues yet another false and misleading Letter to Shareholders

Note that scam company 8000, Inc. (EIGH) now falsely claims that there are over 200 million naked shorted shares of EIGH. The company is also stating that its bogus merger that was announced will not be closed until the company receives 100% of all the common shares outstanding in physical certificates by the shareholders - something which is unheard of.


http://www.facebook.com/pages/8000inc/319800828743#!/photo.php?fbid=10150101361188744&set=a.10150101361128744.288672.319800828743&theater

8000 Inc (EIGH.PK) Statement to Shareholders –February 15, 2011

by 8000inc on Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 5:45pm.

As previously announced, 8000 Inc. (EIGH.pk) is volunteering information to the SEC relating to (i) the proposed merger with a non-shell trading Bulletin Board company as well as (ii) its demonstrable evidence regarding its concern about a suspected manipulation including a naked short position, in its common stock (estimated by the Company to be an amount greater than twice the reported float).

Today, the Company volunteered additional information to the SEC Staff collated from the transfer agents transaction and certificate reports for the periods August 22, 2010 to September 30, 2010 and October 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010.

The Company has publicly stated that, due to the many issues raised, the contemplated merger (and associated share exchange) will be undertaken only through the recall and retirement of EIGH.pk certificates. This position is further reinforced by the following facts identified in the transactional statements.

  • Shares were exchanged, traded or transferred by several brokerage houses during the period of the Company’s trading suspension, November 4, 2010 to November 17, 2010.
  • Several brokerage firms transacted internally, same day, the sale and purchase of large numbers of shares not recorded in the trading day volume. The events so far recorded equate to over 30% of the trading days.
  • Over defined periods, the number of shares purchased and recorded as such by brokerage firms was greater than the recorded trading volume
  • Trading volume recorded for defined period was seen to be significantly less than the transactional volume in over 60% of the trading days.

These events are not the only identified examples raising issues of improper trading of EIGH.pk They do, however, lead the Company to the conclusion that the matters need to be investigated and the decision to recall certificates in relation to the contemplated merger, being correct. The Company has submitted all data and further findings to the SEC Staff and requested assistance with this matter to the degree provable, highlighting all questionable events. The Company is further supported by the now known issue of non-delivery of requested certificates to Shareholders, equally exampled and relayed with the SEC Staff.

EIGH will continue to keep its shareholders apprised as events unfold. Also keep updated on 8000 Inc. developments on Facebook or Twitter.

[EIGH]: Promoter Travis Keizer, a legal representative of scam company 8000, Inc., threatens libel lawsuit for EIGH

against an innocent stockholder of scam company 8000, Inc. (EIGH) - for simply asking questions as to when the EIGH retail store will open in Barbados. The company fully stated that it was going to open by Monday, January 31, 2011 and almost 2 weeks later the store has yet to be opened.

Travis Keizer I'm a cyberbully. I never thought buying a few shares of a pink company would be so entertaining.

Randy & Bob. This is pinksheet company in development. Nobody expects the company to execute perfectly or be able to live up to all thier expe...ctations. But to continually, as if you are being paid, ask stupid questions over and over, is completely unnecessary. The company will update shareholders when there is something to tell us.

Also, there are entities paying big dollars to have this comapny inked, for whatever reason. Whether or not you represent this interest is none of my business. However, it seems like you do....

And I believe, "as I stated" when the company has the means, litigation will take place.

Also. Both you guys stay out of public restroom for awhile....See More

[PLNI]: Court Enters Final Judgment Against James N. Turek, former CEO of scam company Plasticon International, Inc., purusant to Settlement

http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2011/lr21849.htm

Litigation Release No. 21849 / February 10, 2011

Securities and Exchange Commission v. James N. Turek, et al., Civ. No. 08CV-395 JBC (E.D. Kentucky).

COURT ENTERS FINAL JUDGMENT AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND CEO OF PLASTICON INTERNATIONAL, INC. JAMES N. TUREK PURSUANT TO SETTLEMENT

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky entered a Final Judgment on February 4, 2011, in a civil action against James N. Turek (“Turek”), the former president and CEO of Plasticon International, Inc. (“Plasticon”), a Wyoming based manufacturer utilizing recycled plastics. Turek, without admitting or denying the Commission’s allegations, consented to the entry of a Final Judgment that enjoins him from violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; finds him liable for disgorgement of $2,600,000, plus prejudgment interest in the amount of $557,836.41; prohibits him from acting as an officer or director of a public company for 5 years; and bars him from participating in any offering of penny stock. Based on Turek’s Statement of Financial Condition, the Court did not order Turek to pay a civil penalty, and waived payment of disgorgement and prejudgment interest.

According to the SEC’s complaint in this matter, between at least January 2005 and April 2007, Turek fraudulently misappropriated for personal use at least $2.8 million of proceeds from a $8 - $11 million unregistered, multi-state securities offering by Plasticon, the public company controlled by Turek. Turek previously represented to investors that the proceeds from the offering would be used in Plasticon’s business. The complaint further alleged that between at least May 2005 and April 2006, Turek and Plasticon made false and misleading press releases relating to Plasticon’s financial condition, Plasticon’s ownership of patents and the value of those patents, and Plasticon’s outstanding shares. During this period Plasticon’s stock price increased dramatically, apparently in response to those false and misleading press releases. Finally, the complaint alleged that Turek and Plasticon engaged in an unregistered, non-exempt distribution of Plasticon shares.

[EIGH]: Scam company 8000, Inc. issues more bogus statements regarding its proposed merger

It is truly ubelievable that scam company 8000, Inc. (EIGH) is requiring current stockholders to request a hard copy of their stock certificates in order for EIGH to proceed with a merger with another public company - something that has never been seen in the history of mergers for public companies.

See bold below.


The EIGH statement this time is from the company's Facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/8000inc/319800828743#!/notes/8000inc/8000-inc-eighpk-statement-to-shareholders-february-8-2011/500149582843


8000 Inc (EIGH.PK) Statement to Shareholders - February 8, 2011.

by 8000inc

on Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 12:59pm.

As previously announced 8000 Inc. (EIGH.pk) is providing information to the SEC relating to (i) the proposed merger with a non-shell trading bulletin Board Company as well as (ii) its demonstrable evidence regarding its concern about a suspected naked short position in its common stock (estimated by the Company to be an amount greater than twice the reported float). Per requests from the Staff, supplemental evidence from the shareholder, certificate and stock transaction lists is being forwarded today. The Company has been copied as supporting factual representations by Company shareholders directly to the SEC.


EIGH has advised the SEC Staff that it will issue a public statement about the proposed merger as soon as it has concluded its due diligence. Meanwhile, the Staff has indicated that, consistent with their policies in the area, it is aware of the Company’s and shareholder concern and proposed resultant corporate actions. In that context, we understand the SEC Staff can’t provide legal advice or otherwise express any views on the proposed corporate actions.


---As to the Company’s proposed merger as outlined; or
---To the Company’s intent to request shareholders return their common stock certificates for recall (i.e., cancellation) as part of the transaction.


Because of the concerns expressed above, the Company will not release the name of the target entity until after its due diligence review is concluded and upon the effective date of the share exchange.


The contemplated merger and associated share exchange between the two companies will be undertaken solely through the receipt of 8000 Inc. stock certificates with the pro rata stock in the new entity being issued electronically and directly to the shareholder account pursuant to an independent opinion of counsel. Absent a surprise, the Company expects to issue direct instructions to its Transfer Agent near term, most likely in the next two weeks. Shareholders are asked, in the interim, to request physical delivery of their 8000 Inc. stock certificates from their brokerage firms in preparation for the contemplated merger and exchange. Full details of the process will be issued at the end of the due diligence review period as stated. The certificates will be verified against the Transfer Agent’s records. No exchange of stock in the new, combined Company will be undertaken without the provision of a physical certificate. Through this process, the Company hopes to address the shareholder concerns and in so doing progress to a higher quotation and accountability.


EIGH will continue to keep its shareholders apprised as events unfold. Also keep updated on 8000 Inc. developments on Facebook or Twitter.

[SPNG]: Promoter Stephen H. Pitell (spitell1951) claims to have traded on CONFIDENTIAL INSIDE INFORMATION

regarding scam company Spongtech Delivery Systems, Inc. (SPNG)

Here you have a post that he made about a year ago on the Yahoo stock message board for SPNG with his alias "spitell1951":


http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_S/threadview?m=tm&bn=100008&tid=94056&mid=94067&tof=2&rt=2&frt=2&off=1

"OK. I do not have a link for this DTCC data. It was passed to me in a whisper. It's been seen by someone. If police ask me for my source, I will claim a journalists exemption and if necessary go to jail to protect my source. Is it believable? Yes and no. It is not NY Times
reliable. In other words, I only have a single source, and no second source of verification. So it is more than interesting speculaton, but not enough more to take to a bank."

[EIGH]: Who owns "Group 8000Inc."?

It appears that someone registered a company named "Group 8000Inc." in the country of Barbados on October 19, 2010. Here are the details from The Office of the Registrar of Corporate Affairs and Intellectual Property of Barbados:

http://www.caipo.gov.bb/search/search.php


Name GROUP 8000INC.
Number 33833
Date Registered / Inc. 2010-10-19
Category Company


SOUND FAMILIAR?

As it turns out, after issuing many fraudulent press releases and detailing in its website about 14 different businesses and subsidiaries that it claimed that it owned, the only business that scam company 8000, Inc. (trading symbol: EIGH), which is registered in the U.S., now claims that it owns is a tiny unopened T-Shirt store in the country of Barbados.

here are the details of the public company, 8000, Inc. (EIGH), that is registered in the State of Nevada:

http://theworm06.blogspot.com/2010/10/eigh-directors-and-officers-of-scam.html



Does the public company, scam company 8000, Inc. (trading symbol: EIGH) own the Barbados registered Group 8000Inc.?

or

Does someone else own this foreign entity and will eventually collect any revenues that are derived from the Barbados businesses of scam company EIGH, thereby syphoning any potential revenues away from the public stockholders of EIGH?

hint: Why does scam company EIGH avoid discussing the Barbados registered company, Group 8000Inc., in its long Q/A responses that were made public recently?:

[EIGH]: Scam company 8000 Inc. issues another email update letter to stockholders

.
.

A copy of the letter is shown at the bottom of this report. In reality, the following is what scam company 8000 Inc. (EIGH) is really saying in this email letter to stockholders:

1. The SEC fraud investigation of EIGH and related parties has taken a serious turn for the worse for EIGH et al.

2. EIGH's Directors, Officers and related parties will be receiving life-time bans as officers/directors of public companies and are forced to replace the current management with other individuals.

3. EIGH expects to be fully sanctioned by the SEC for issuing the fraudulent press releases of the last 2 years.

4. The acquistion of Southbrige Development Group was never formally closed by scam company EIGH, even though 8 million EIGH shares were issued to the owners of Southbridge as EIGH falsely announced that the acquisition was formally closed.

5. The millions of dollars of funds needed to close the acquistion of Southbridge were never raised by EIGH or related parties.

6. Although EIGH announced that it was involved actively in 14 different businesses and subsidiaries, this was all false and, in reality, the only area that EIGH is involved in is an unopened T-shirt store in Barbados.

7. EIGH never received the $40 million in windfall cash that it claimed and never intended to proceed with acquisitions with this cash that it never received.

8. EIGH is no longer claiming that the evil naked shorts have shorted EIGH substantially. This again was part of the fraudulent accusations by EIGH against the evil naked shorts as an excuse for the drop in stock price of EIGH.

Re: None Post # of 95283

8000 Inc (EIGH.pk) to Focus on Core Business and Unwinds the Southbridge Development Group Acquisition

The Company and all subpoenaed individuals, in conjunction with the SEC’s order suspending trading, have and are complying fully with the requests by the SEC regarding its current “In re Matter of Monks Den.” Some 5Gb of data has been collated on behalf of the Company and provided to the SEC investigation team to answer all questions. Mr. Kelly has testified, Mr. Bryant is prepared to testify near-term under oath and the individuals subpoenaed are finalizing their responses to the extent not already included in the Company response. The Company will update its shareholders on this SEC matter in its monthly reports. The Company accepts that it was careless in some of its actions and that it will likely need to (i) enter into a consent order with regard to its publicly issued press releases and (ii) issue remedial correcting releases (voluntarily or as directed by the SEC). Nonetheless, the Company firmly believes that the SEC’s investigation will show no illegal, manipulative activities or wrong doing by its officer or associates in conjunction with the Company’s shares.

Subject to the findings and response from the SEC, the Company feels that it should install a new management team. Seasoned professionals have already been identified with agreement in principle to join the Company’s board. The new members of the management team will be experienced merchant and investment bankers to take the lead in terms of the Board of Directors and associated corporate fiduciary duty as well as shaping the operational activities of the 8000 Inc. and engaging needed officer(s).

At the request of the proposed in-coming new management team, and as a direct result of the SEC Investigation, the Company has decided that it needs to focus on its core business and take a less aggressive approach to its business. To that end, the Company intends to now concentrate solely on its profitable business interests in Barbados and move away from the longer term investment strategy of acquisitions, among other reasons because of the funding committed or required going forward.

In light of its advances made in Barbados and its belief that its operations there are gaining traction, the Company’s operations in Barbados, including its Brand8000, will become its focus, commencing immediately. The first action under this changed operational emphasis is, regrettably, the decision to concurrently rescind the December 2009 agreement of the acquisition of Southbridge Development Group, performance of which has been held in abeyance pending funding required to be provided. While no agreement has been reached and without prejudice to any rights they may have over the last year, Southbridge is expected to return to the Company the 8MM restricted shares issued in conjunction with the acquisition and both entities will proceed independent of one another, without hindrance and with no involvement or ownership by either in the other.

Football camp for Oval


By: Sherrylyn A Toppin

Kensington Oval will be the site of the 2011 AC Milan Junior Camp in Barbados from October 15 to 23.

An ecstatic Greg Castagne of Pro Shottas told the Nation following discussion with officials at Kensington Oval earlier today, they were able to secure the venue and it could become an annual arrangement.

The football camps are also used for scouting and securing talent for the Serie A club’s feeder programmes.

“We wanted to get the best facility. We are overjoyed to get Kensington Oval and AC Milan will get the best facility,” Castagne.

“It is a world-class facility for a world-class event,” sponsor Jonathan Bryan of 8000 Inc. added.

The event was originally scheduled to be held at the National Stadium. However, Castagne said they would be reducing the number of participants from 75 to 60 because they wouldn’t be able to use the square at the Oval.

A section of the venue, dubbed the Mecca of West Indies cricket, will be used for matches, while another part will be used for skill displays.

“We want as many kids as possible to benefit from the experience. If the camp isn’t going to suffer in terms of quality we will increase the numbers, but right now we can guarantee 60,” Castage said.

Officials at Kensington Oval have also made the media centre and conference facilities available. Members of the public will be able to come and watch the matches and skills displays which are open to local footballers between age 12 and 17. Coaching will be provided by AC Milan and Pro Shottas.

Former top associate of International scam artist Lou Pearlman sentenced to prison


Robert Fischetti sentenced to three years in prison for his role in Ponzi scheme.

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-lou-pearlman-fischetti-sentence-20110105,0,1466918.story


By Amy Pavuk, Orlando Sentinel

12:04 PM EST, January 5, 2011


A former top associate of Lou Pearlman was sentenced to three years in federal prison Wednesday for his role in the disgraced music mogul's scheme that bilked investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Robert Fischetti pleaded guilty in Orlando federal court in June to one count of conspiracy and three counts of failure to file an income-tax return.

Fischetti played key roles in many of the companies Pearlman set up.

Pearlman, who founded the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, is serving a 25-year sentence for orchestrating one of the largest Ponzi schemes in the state.

He pleaded guilty to running a $300 million investment scam in connection with the sale of worthless stock and retirement-account investments in Trans Continental Airlines and Transcontinental Airlines Travel Services.

In Fischetti's case, federal prosecutors said Trans Continental Airlines offered people the chance to invest in what it called an Employee Investment Savings Account program.

But that program was nothing more than a Ponzi scheme, using newer investor money to pay off earlier contributors.

Fischetti managed the investor database for the EISA program from offices in Orlando at times from 1989 to 2007, his plea agreement said.

Fischetti sent statements falsely showing investors' money was earning interest.

More than 1,500 people invested over $200 million in the EISA program, the agreement said.

[EIGH]: The Pathetic criteria used by Promoter Ryan Manley (ryanmnly) to invest in companies

.
.
Truly pathetic that the Promoter Ryan Manley (ryanmnly) cares less about the fundamentals of a company when investing in the stock. This is what promoters of scam companies do - anything to attempt to get innnocent investors to buy the stock of these scam companies, including 8000 Inc. (EIGH). In a true description of how lowly this promoter is, he claims that he doesn't even care whether a company is a scam or not....amazing!

I honestly don't care about the company. Fluff PRs, botched dividend, and no sign of a merger or acquisition yet have not exactly improved my confidence in fundamentals. However, I only care about the NSS and their ability to flush it out into the open. If they can do that, then I will gladly re-evaluate when this is all said and done.

Your questions obviously have answers people are unwilling to truthfully state. Pretty much sums it all up.

As for how terrible EIGH is or isn't, it doesn't matter. They can knock on it or any other company all day long but it literally has zero importance. Abusive NSS is illegal regardless of whether the company is good or bad and since most of us are holding because of the NSS issue, fundamentals are irrelevant. If they really want their shares back, they would be better off proving the NSS doesn't exist. This of course is impossible, so they choose to ignore it and divert attention elsewhere.

The fundamentals don't matter anymore. I'm not sure why everyone is arguing over it. I couldn't care less about whether they lied or didn't lie, incompetent or not, scam or whatever. Let's stop dancing around the primary point in question here.

We say there is a large unrecorded short position. They say there isn't. If we don't sell, they can't cover. If there is no large unrecorded short position, they don't need to cover. At some point, these conflicting statements will come to a head, but neither side is relenting nor will they until forced to.

There you go again. You can not process the concept that we don't care about the fundamentals. It makes no difference whether they make t-shirts or toothpicks or space stations. We are here because we hold proof of the naked short selling abuses, which the SEC is now looking into.

[SLJB]: The Ontario Securities Commission Seeks $6 million from Sulja stock scam profits

From super investigative journalist Gary Rennie of Canada's The Windsor Star:


http://www.windsorstar.com/business/seeks+from+Sulja+stock+scam+profits/3909712/story.html


OSC seeks $6M from Sulja stock scam profits

By Gary Rennie, The Windsor Star

December 1, 2010

The Ontario Securities Commission wants the Sulja Brothers "pump and dump" stock fraud schemers to give back almost $6 million in profits.

But mostly blaming each other at a sentencing hearing Tuesday, the five Windsor-area residents convicted in the fraud said they're broke.

"The money I have in my pocket is all I have," said Petar Vucicevich after an OSC hearing Tuesday was told he alone made about $3.5 million from the stock fraud.

Nicknamed "Black Pete," Vucicevich surprised his Colchester Village neighbours when he began driving a Range Rover or a Maserati and flashing big rolls of money when Sulja stock was being hotly traded in an electronic, over-the-counter market called the Pink Sheets in 2006 and 2007.

The penny stock scheme was concocted to bail out the small Harrow-area lumberyard founded by John Sulja more than 20 years ago, but struggling to survive the building slump that began in 2005.

Vucicevich said about $1 million made from the stock sales went back into the lumberyard or an expansion effort out west.

"Nobody walked away with bags full of money," Vucicevich said.

Vucicevich claimed one of his lawyers kept $350,000 of his money that was supposed to pay his taxes. Revenue Canada is now chasing him for $240,000 in taxes owing, Vucicevich said.

Vucicevich blamed his Texas partner Andrew DeVries and a slew of lawyers for bad advice that led him and others to think what they were doing was legal. "I should have been a lot smarter," he said.

Vucicevich claimed DeVries was the mastermind of the scheme and wrote all the press releases.

"This is quite simply an egregious case of fraud," said OSC lawyer Usman Sheikh.

Sheikh said close to 500 million shares of Sulja stock were sold at inflated prices to investors while 100 or so press releases were issued claiming business deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars were being made.

"The respondents were in effect printing money," said Sheikh. There is "not a scintilla of evidence to support the vast majority of their claims," he said.

Sheikh asked for a $750,000 fine against both Vucicevich and DeVries, and a "disgorgement" order that would attempt to seize money and other assets realized from the fraud. Anything recovered would go into an OSC investor education fund.

Fines of $125,000 each were sought against brothers Steve and Sam Sulja, Pranab Shah and Tracey Banumas as lesser figures in the stock fraud.

Sam Sulja made $100,000 in one stock trading account in his name while another account he managed in his father's name showed a $350,000 profit, the OSC said.

Banumas had a $110,000 profit in a stock trading account in her name, while the OSC said Shah's account showed a $200,000 profit.

Lawyer Khalid Sheikh (not related to the OSC lawyer), represented Sam and Steve Sulja and said the brothers trusted Vucicevich, who wrote the press releases and directed the stock trading.

The defence lawyer said Sam and Steve Sulja have since found work as labourers and Steve lost his house after the stock investigation.

Banumas said she went to work for Vucicevich as an office administrator and was told the stock sales were legal. She's now living in her mother's basement in Kitchener and hasn't found new work.

"If I had $110,000 in my bank account now, I'd be pretty happy," Banumas said. She does volunteer work for the local police department to keep busy.

Shah, a University of Windsor grad, said he was originally hired by Vucicevich as a planner, and knew little about stocks. He's now working as a consultant while trying to finish a master's degree at the University of Waterloo.

Shah said his Windsor immigration lawyer Ayemand Haddad advised him the stock sales were legal. "I got the green light from my attorney," he said. "It was an honest mistake in a way."

Vucicevich asked for a one-year delay on any fine imposed so he could defend himself on a criminal fraud charge laid by RCMP, who also investigated the penny stock sales. Vucicevich said he couldn't afford a lawyer.

OSC hearing panel members Patrick LeSage and Senan Akendiz reserved a decision on the sentencing. LeSage warned Vucicevich that the odds weren't good for getting the one-year delay.

[EIGH]: Yet another correct stock price prediction by the_worm06

.
.
On October 3, 2010 the_worm06 predicted a $0.01 stock price for scam company EIGH. The stock price at the time was $0.37. So the prediction was for a 97% drop in stock price.


http://theworm06.blogspot.com/2010/10/eigh-theworm06-initiates-research-on.html


Yesterday, on November 18, 2010, less than 2 months since the prediction, the EIGH stock price reached the $0.01 stock price prediction of the_worm06, after trading began in EIGH after the 10 day trading suspension issued by the SEC for unreliable statements made in press releases by EIGH:
