March 4, 1998
Coincidentally, trading in Mark J. Oppenheimer's prior stock promotion was halted yesterday.
Prior to joining Crystallex, Mark J. Oppenheimer was Chief Financial Officer for Concord Camera Corporation. He assumed the
position following the dismissal of his predecessor, who alleged he
had been fired because he had discovered that the Chairman was
embezzling company funds. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
was investigating these allegations, although Concord made an out of
court payment to the accuser to settle the lawsuit that first raised
these allegations. (An article in The Financial Post published on
April 18, 1997 failed to disclose Mr. Oppenheimer's employment at
Concord Camera.) After Concord Camera, Mr. Oppenheimer reportedly
ecame president of IBL Equities Ltd., presently known as Serena Resources, Ltd.
(VSE: SUS). Serena was allegedly involved in the non-metallic mineral mining and quarrying business. The trading of shares of Serena was
suspended as of yesterday, March 3, 1998, due to unpaid sustaining
fees in the amount of $652.15 owed to the Vancouver Stock Exchange.
