On March 29, the Commission filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia alleging that Sean E. St. Heart, age 25, engaged in an illegal cyber smear by posting a false message about NCO Group, Inc. on the Yahoo! Finance Internet message board.
The message posted by Sean St. Heart is still available at the Yahoo! site. This appears to have been the only post by this alias on the NCOG thread during the time period of interest.
Note: According to the SEC, the following Dec., 1999 Yahoo! post "was false in that St. Heart (1) had not prepared such a lawsuit, (2) had not joined with any other company in connection with such a lawsuit, and (3) had no basis to claim that he had been damaged in the amount of $20 million." See sec.gov or the preceding post.
Bad business relations...

I am the president and CEO of St. Heart Productions, LLC. Today, my company has prepared to file a 20 million dollar law suit against NCOG for their business practices.
Anyone doing business with this company has something to fear. The company uses intimidation and poor judgement.
Blue Angel Productions, LLC, Stamford Entertainment Ageny and ten other companies have joined us in our law suit, which we should have ready by next week.
This company has a lot to learn about people and business ethics.
