The guy that was instrumental in destroying many a life who I made 18 recordings in a 15 month period...and who plead guilty as a direct result of my taperecordings ....was released from Prison in January of this year and immediately went back to court for further indictments stemming from this same exact scam I worked on exposing after issuing the only Sell and probably First Sell Reccomendation ever seen on Wall Street while the stock was at or near its high..resulting in death threats to me and my family ..... This is his third felony conviction, so i believe he is now facing life without parole ,, they never did find all the money...BUt ....it doesnt matter ..cause he can never use it now..... Do I feel bad for him??.......NO way......he touched people in the wrong way....by believeing everyone is sucker and he was smarter than everyone else ..His arrogance was unnnerving and never showed any remorse February 19, 2000 Former San Diego stock hustler Melvin Lloyd Richards is back in prison: Late this week, he was convicted in Manhattan federal court of securities and wire fraud -- among many things, using cash bribes to pump up stock that he later dumped for fat profits. Breaking with tradition in white-collar cases, the federal judge sent Richards immediately to the slammer. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York argued that he was a securities fraud recidivist. In January, Richards had been released from a 24-month prison stay for his transgressions in a tax fraud case tied to his securities machinations in San Diego's former Alco International. In the just-completed New York case, Richards was charged with paying unlicensed brokers excessive commissions that were undisclosed to investors, and also causing market makers to artificially inflate the stock of United Media Group (UMGI), a New Jersey company that said it was in the aluminum can recycling business, but actually was a shell. At trial, evidence was introduced that Richards had used similar techniques in his previous stock manipulations. He will be sentenced in May. Two brokers were also convicted, but they were released until sentencing

Tony, You've been very open about your past and I give you a lot of credit for that truthfulness. I usually never mentioned my brief penny-stock past and only said I used to work for DWR. It's not where we started, but where we progressed to, that should be judged. Of the eight people I worked with at TJ's, three are still in the business with legit firms, one has a successful insurance agency, and three ultimately went to jail for securities crimes. Firms which prey on the investing public will be around until people take more control and responsibility for their investment decisions. Thank you for your efforts to shed light on the dark side of Wall St. Eddie
