FRISKY, ITS PHUNY THAT PHANNY WHO EVEN THINK ABOUT FILING A SLAPP SUIT. HE WOULD BE HELD IN CONTEMPT RIGHT FROM THE START FOR STATING THAT HE IS A Ph.D. ON COURT DOCUMENTS WHICH WE ALL KNOW THAT HE IS NOT. PHAN ALSO LIED IN HIS LETTER THAT HARTCOURT HAD FILED SUIT AGAINST HONEST POSTERS WHICH HE CALLED COCKROACHES. (WHAT SCUM!!) AS IT TURNS OUT NO SUCH SUIT WAS EVER FILED. IF IT WOULD HAVE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A CASE NUMBER AND IT WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP IN HARTCOURTS SEC FILINGS.
IF HE EVER DARES TO FILE A SLAPP SUIT TO PREVENT ME FROM MY 1ST AMENDMENT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO FREE SPEACH HE WILL FIND OUT THAT I WILL SUE HIM FOR MILLIONS FOR SLANDER.
BESIDES HARTCOURTS DAYS ARE NUMBERED. IF HE DOES SUE YOU CAN BET THAT THE ATTORNEYS WILL ONLY TAKE A CERTIFIED CHECK FROM HIM.

CRIMINAL UPDATE
Police is investigating also in Vienna
FBI is acting against a gang of worldwide active financial artists who allegedly bilked gigantic 15 Billion ATS (1 Billion USD) from clients. Since last Autumn, the instigators of the gang own a banking corporation in Vienna. The police is investigating.
Behind the facades of the small "General Commerce Bank AG" which operated under federal administration since last year [the police] believes to find certain information about a large scale scam. Two weeks ago the US federal police has discovered the scandal after having conducted investigations for more than one year and through infiltration of undercover agents.
After the Australian exchange commission has been pressed by defrauded customers, 10 days ago a big sweep in Bangkok too place: Supported by the FBI, the local police arrested 81 suspects, mostly Europeans. The gang is accused of running a worldwide network of brokerage offices, so called "Boiler Rooms", first artificially raising the prices of worthless stocks and then selling them to thousands of clients. In the next days, sweeps are "scheduled" in further 9 cities on 3 continents.
The FBI dossier: Fraudsters bilked out one Billion Dollar
The format is exclusively in possession of the FBI report in which the shocking dimensions of the deals are described: It lists the names of 18 Boiler rooms, reaching from the Philippines over Thai to Singapore and Czechia, in which the gang has cashed in the amazing sum of 1 Billion Dollars, about 15 Billion Schillings.
For the Austrians it is very revealing what the FBI dossier says about the perpetrators of the affaire: In the organisation hierarchy ranked behind Manila and Los Angeles based Amador Pastrana, the "mastermind of the operations" according to the FBI are the US citizens Regis Possino and Sherman Mazur. 52-year old Possino appeared in Vienna last Summer for the first time where he resided in an "approbiate" luxury flat in Radisson SAS Palais (Rent: 62.500 ATS)
Kashoggi-Coup in Vienna
The Belgian Raoul Berthaumieu who grew up in Canada appeared as the new chairman of the banking corporation which is working with a restricted banking license as broker house: In turn, Berthaumieus particular contacts to glowing con artists resulted in a new shareholder for the bank: the legendary arabian arms dealer Adnan Kashoggi.

Die Wirtschaftspolizei ermittelt auch in Wien
Das amerikanische FBI geht gegen eine Truppe weltweit agierender Finanzartisten vor, die von Kunden gigantische 15 Milliarden Schilling abgenommen haben soll. Die Drahtzieher besitzen seit vergangenem Herbst eine Bank in Wien. Die Wirtschaftspolizei ermittelt.
Hinter den Fassaden der seit dem Vorjahr unter Geschäftsaufsicht stehenden kleinen General Commerce Bank AG in der Wiener Schlickgasse 1Bank vermutet man aufschlußreiche Antworten zu einem gigantischen Betrugsfall. Die US-Bundespolizei hat den Finanz-Skandal nach mehr als einjährigen Ermittlungen und durch die Einschleusung von Undercoveragenten vor zwei Wochen hat aufgedeckt.
Nachdem die australische Börsenaufsicht von geleimten Kunden bombardiert worden war, kam es vor zehn Tagen in der thailändischen Hauptstadt Bangkok zur ersten Großrazzia: Unterstützt von FBI-Beamten, nahmen Polizisten 81Verdächtige, großteils Europäer, fest. Der Truppe wird vorgeworfen, in einem weltumspannenden Netz von Börsenmaklerbüros, sogenannten "Boiler rooms", zuerst die Kurse wertloser Aktien künstlich in die Höhe getrieben und sie dann an Tausende Kunden verklopft zu haben. Dieser Tage sind Razzien in weiteren neun Städten auf drei Kontinenten vorgesehen.
Das FBI-Dossier: Finanzbetrüger ergaunerten eine Milliarde Dollar
Das FORMAT exklusiv vorliegende FBI-Dossier beschreibt die atemberaubenden Dimensionen der Deals: In 18 namentlich angeführten Boiler rooms, von den Philippinen über Thailand bis Singapur und Tschechien, hat die Truppe die sagenhafte Summe von einer Milliarde Dollar eingestreift - umgerechnet mehr als 15 Milliarden Schilling.
Aus österreichischer Sicht besonders aufschlußreich in dem FBI-Dossier sind die Protagonisten der Affäre: Hinter dem in Manila und in Los Angeles residierenden Amador Pastrana, laut FBI "Mastermind der Operationen", bekleiden nämlich die beiden US-Amerikaner Regis Possino und Sherman Mazur die wichtigsten Ränge in der Hierarchie der Organisation. Der 52jährige Possino tauchte im Sommer des Vorjahres erstmals in Wien auf, wo er standesgemäß eine luxuriöse Wohnung im Radisson SAS Palais (Monatsmiete: 62.500 Schilling) bezog.
Kashoggi-Coup in Wien
Als neuer Aufsichtsratschef des mit eingeschränkter Banklizenz als Börsenmakler tätigen Instituts, das im Herbst dann in General Commerce Bank AG umbenannt wurde, betrat der in Belgien geborene und in Kanada aufgewachsene Raoul Berthaumieu die Bühne: Berthaumieus einschlägige Kontakte zu schillernden Finanzartisten bescherten der Wiener Bank dann im Oktober einen neuen Aktionär: den legendären saudischen Waffenhändler Adnan Kashoggi.

Hi, I bought 1,000 ECSX shares back in May 2000. Little did I know that ECSX was controlled by crooks. I was so pissed that last month I spent 3 days of my vacation, digging out everything I could find about these crooks, even trying to date one of the secretaries working at the Mafia headquarter in Santa Monica (unsuccessfully, I admit). However, from all the data and conversations I had with people at this office, I learn of the following:
a. ECSX and a bunch of other scam companies on the BB ( ITNW, UNIF, JUNM or EBID, ASAT, VNOW or DIGS) are controlled by Corporate Finance Enterprise and American Equities. These two companies are owned by Sherman Mazur. His two sidekicks (employees) are Regis Possino (CFC) and Reid Breitman (AE).
b. Mazur is the infamous real estate whiz kid who was jailed for 5 years on fraud conviction. Possino is an ex-convict, disbarred lawyer, drug dealer. Most employees of the firm are ex-convicts. Brian Volmer , Mazur ‘s right hand man was in the front page of Wall Street Journal when the SEC got him. There are plenty of details on the Net on these scam artists. If you need help to find out, I will try to post some link.
c. Jim Pruzin is just a puppet, Reid Breitman is the Chairman of ECSX. But the real power is Mazur.
d. Mazur and a guy named Bryant (don’t know last name) control United Capital Management, Dukes And Companies in Manila, Sherman Brothers in Bangkok, Global Capital Partners in Austria, Pacific Continental and IAR Advisory in Spain. They also control numerous offshore entities, whose sole purpose is to buy and sell (mostly sell) stocks of companies they control.
e. These scam artists claimed that they have protection from powerful politicians that the SEC could not touch them. In fact, Mazur, Possino and Bryant have been in the same kind of pump and dump operations for the last 5 years.
f. All of these scam artists are living in $5 Million homes, driving newest Mercedez and BMW’s, spending money like big tycoons, all fully paid for by our money.
I already filed my complaint with the SEC but I think ECS will close its doors in a few months and we won’t get a penny back from this operation. I agree with Roesti that the only way to get some money back is for CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS against these scam artists INDIVIDUALLY, because they have personal assets here and abroad we can seize. If anyone has any idea, please post. I cannot afford a good lawyer now, but if all of us can contribute a little, it will help a great deal. I have written to Mr. Fischer in Switzerland, but we need a US lawyer here.

Who'll spill the beans? SPECIAL REPORT
SEC gears for high-tech
war with int'l syndicates
By Elena R. Torrijos
Inquirer News Service
READ PART 1 OF THIS REPORT
(Last of two parts)
THE SECURITIES and Exchange Commission (SEC) is working hard to form an ad hoc interagency task force in response to various complaints from foreigners against Philippine-registered companies that appear to be misrepresenting themselves as securities brokers or dealers.
This task force already has the support of the National Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, Transnational Crime Commission, Department of Foreign Affairs and Bureau of Immigration.
The task force, once formed, will trail and document suspicious activities of firms here with operations overseas and are engaged in businesses beyond what is allowable in their corporate franchise.
An SEC official familiar with talks to form this body stressed that coordination among various government agencies was vital to catch international crooks illegally peddling securities. He revealed that almost immediately after the commission had terminated the operations of a securities company being used as a front by a syndicate, another corporation with the same purpose would be set up.
"As has been raised by Philippine consular offices abroad, if these questionable business activities are not enjoined, this may cause a dent on the credence of any Philippine corporate franchise that may be issued by the commission before the international business community," the SEC said in a statement last month.
Who'll spill the beans?
The SEC recently issued orders shutting down several companies suspected of defrauding investors here and abroad.
Last month, the commission uncovered an international syndicate using Philippine companies to defraud small investors millions of dollars.
A senior investigator said the syndicate. s modus operandi was to incorporate Philippine companies and use them as vehicles to defraud people seeking to invest in US stocks and bonds.
The SEC has found an informant who is willing to spill the beans on this racket, he said.
"I think this is global in nature. There is already a probable asset. He could spill the beans. He knows the operations of this group," the person familiar with the matter said.
Initial investigations showed that shell companies posing as investment firms were preying on people here and abroad who are looking for US stocks and bonds to place their money in.
These companies will either run away with their victims. money or place them in securities that they have no intention of turning over to their clients.
Documents from the SEC showed that investors had already lost some $100 million to this scam.
International syndicates
The SEC official said the syndicate was operating not only in the Philippines but also in Thailand, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong.
The gang is allegedly overseeing the operations of several companies that the SEC has found to be misrepresenting themselves as securities brokers or dealers.
The commission recently issued a cease-and-desist order against four companies closely linked together and identified with the group of Amador Pastrana, Rufino Abad, Noel Galang, Ronnie Arojado, Hilda Ronquillo, Greshiela Compedio and their foreign partners.
The SEC has shut down the operations of Saxon and Swift Inc., Knowle and Sachs Inc., Dukes & Co. Securities Corp., and Muller & Sons Securities Management Inc. Their officers, directors, agents, representatives and all persons claiming and acting under their authority were ordered to cease and desist from selling securities.
The commission said it has been receiving letters from foreigners assailing the business conduct and activities of these companies, which have not been issued secondary licenses to engage in the buying and selling of securities.
The securities business activities of the Pastrana group undertaken by the four companies. predecessors--defunct Griffin Securities Corp., First Federal Capital Inc. and Pryce Weston Inc.--have been the subject of cease-and-desist orders issued by the SEC. s brokers and exchanges department.
One of the SEC. s chief investigators said the government would have to step up its technology if it wanted to effectively deal with international syndicates specializing in financial fraud.
Ideal arrangement
The people behind these syndicates aren. t street thugs armed with guns and knives. Their preferred tools of the trade are computers and other high-technology equipment that will allow them to move stealthily and cover their tracks. To keep up with them, the SEC would have to be just as sophisticated.
SEC Chair Lilia Bautista said an ideal setup, like the one being implemented by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, would be to form a division devoted solely to securities fraud.
Bautista said US regulators have been very vigilant in monitoring and tracking down the illegal sale of securities through the Internet.
The SEC is trying its best to catch up. This month, the commission sent the acting head of its prosecution and enforcement department to the United States to learn from his counterparts.
