Dont you have a Trump rally to attend??? You involved in that DoubleBank scam ?? Now you two have front running down to a science. I notice you are keeping it hush hush over on Beat the Street so you can still sell your pumps over there. Most of them with the exception of a couple real dim bulbs are on to you two so I guess it was necessary to begin operations under cloak of DoubleBank . Whoever heard of an Investment website with no one with any credibility behind it. For all people know this guy in article below is the guy running DoubleBank........careful pumping from a website that promises big returns , waiver or not , you might wind up in lawyers up to your butt hole.

SEC target Durante pleads guilty to pink sheets scheme

Ed Durante, the Vancouver-linked man in jail on market manipulation charges in New York, has pleaded guilty. He entered the plea in an appearance on Tuesday, Aug. 23, before Magistrate Judge Andrew Peck. The judge ordered that he remain in custody, and set his sentencing for Nov. 28, 2016.
Prosecutors claim that Mr. Durante, 64, and others manipulated a pink sheets listing called VGTel Inc. He told investors that the stock could go to $50. (All figures are in U.S. dollars.) Then, with the help of others, he convinced a group of mostly unsophisticated investors to buy millions of dollars worth of shares.
Mr. Durante carried out the scheme using the alias Ted Wise, employing the false name after a prior fraud conviction. That conviction arose from the manipulation of another company, Wamex Holdings Inc. (In that scheme, he boosted the stock to $19.50 from $1.375 through massive promotional campaigns and heavy trading through offshore entities. Former Vancouver brokerage Union Securities Ltd. figured into the scheme, with its White Rock branch handling some of Mr. Durante's orders. Mr. Durante served 10 years in jail on Wamex-related charges.)
The present charges arose six years after Mr. Durante completed his prison term for Wamex. In parallel civil and criminal actions filed on Jan. 6, 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and New York prosecutors accused him of an $11-million manipulation of VGTel. The charges include securities fraud and wire fraud, as well as conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud.
According to the SEC, Mr. Durante began plotting his new scheme before he had even completed his prison term for the Wamex Holdings fraud. In 2009, from prison, he began negotiating the acquisition of VGTel as a shell. After his release from prison, Mr. Durante moved to New York and adopted several aliases to conceal his criminal past, the SEC said. These names included Ted Wise, Anthony Walsh and Efran Eisenberg. He also started selling shares of VGTel to unsophisticated investors, telling them that he had several major deals and large investments for the company, the complaint stated.
As part of the scheme, Mr. Durante paid a broker who persuaded several clients to invest in VGTel. The clients were mostly conservative, older investors, who owned annuities, the SEC said. Through presentations and other contact with those clients, Mr. Durante (using the Ted Wise alias) told them that VGTel would be a profitable investment. In some instances, investors wrote cheques directly to entities that Mr. Durante controlled. At the same time, Mr. Durante paid the broker $377,500 to buy her business and a further $110,000 in kickbacks, according to the complaint.
In support of the scheme, Mr. Durante directed several manipulative trades, boosting the stock to $1.90 from 25 cents, according to the SEC. The trades, as described in the complaint, involved Mr. Durante executing several matched orders. (VGTel, which reached $1.90 on Oct. 24, 2013, quickly fell off and was trading below 10 cents a year later. It was last at 0.01 cent.) The SEC said that Mr. Durante defrauded investors of at least $11-million.
For Mr. Durante, the charges brought an end to a life of luxury that began upon his release for the Wamex fraud. According to court filings in a separate case the SEC filed to collect an unpaid fine, Mr. Durante went on a $51,000 trip to Paris right after he completed his Wamex sentence. Among his expenses were $14,585 for a three-night stay at the five-star Hotel Meurice and $7,000 from a clothing store called D&G. He was also living in a $7,644-per-month New York apartment, the regulator said.
Mr. Durante has been in U.S. custody since Dec. 18, 2015, when the government had him extradited from Germany. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in jail. Prosecutors have not yet stated the term that they will be recommending as part of his plea.
The other defendants in the case are financial advisers Sheik Khan and Larry Werbel, who prosecutors claim accepted bribes from Mr. Durante. Also charged was Christopher Cervino, a New Jersey broker who prosecutors say carried out several matched trades as part of the scheme. They are free on bond awaiting trial.
