Let me help you. This is from the SEC filings for COII. They currently hold over 2.3 million shares awaiting registration. Have you ever heard of Gregory C. Johnson? Or do I need to help some more? In connection with our private placement, we reached an understanding with Plaintiff and other individuals to assist in the placement of our common stock and warrants. The Plaintiff, in concert with two other individuals (the "Participants"), successfully raised approximately $10.7 million in the placement. By letter dated February 10, 2000, the Plaintiff informed us that Plaintiff and Participants had reached an agreement to equally share commissions attributable to the $10.7 million. Subsequently, we were notified that, during the time that Plaintiff was engaged to provide services to us, Plaintiff was an employee and/or agent of Financial Services Group, an investment company doing business in Kuwait. Notwithstanding, the Plaintiff claims entitlement to 100 percent of the commissions attributable to the $10.7 million. We are awaiting a resolution of the issues between Plaintiff and Financial Services Group.

TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND ASSET FREEZE ENTERED AGAINST ANTHONY MARINO, GREGORY JOHNSON, RICHARD HIGGINS, MOUSA INTERNATIONAL, AJM GLOBAL AND CONSORTIO INTRANACIONAL On April 20, the Commission obtained an order freezing the assets and temporarily restraining Anthony J. Marino, Gregory C. Johnson, Richard Ames Higgins, Mousa International, AJM Global and Consortio Intranacional from making fraudulent sales of unregistered interests in "prime bank" trading programs. It was alleged that the defendants made over $15 million in such sales by representing that investors in the program were guaranteed returns of 20% per month; the trading program had been approved by the Federal Reserve Board; and investments in the program were insured against loss through a policy issued by Lloyds of London. The Order was entered April 20 by the Honorable J. Thomas Greene, United States District Judge for the District of Utah and included a clause requiring the defendants to repatriate any assets which had been transferred out of the United States. The complaint alleged that since at least January of 1998, the defendants had engaged in fraudulent sales of interests in a "prime bank" scheme in which they guaranteed a high return to be generated by repeated purchases and sales of financial instruments issued by the world's "prime banks." Among other misrepresentations, the defendants asserted the investors' principal was insured against loss through Lloyds of London and that the Federal Reserve Bank had approved the investment scheme. Further, the Commission alleges that Anthony J. Marino did not disclose to investors that he had been convicted of securities fraud by the State of Nevada and ordered to cease and desist from fraudulently soliciting investments in securities by the State of New Mexico. The Commission alleged that through their false and misleading statements, the defendants violated the antifraud provisions, Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Commission also alleged that the securities sold by the Defendants were investment contracts which should have been registered pursuant to Sections 5(a) and (c) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Look Inside a Pump & Dump Operation. Would you like to see the inside of a pump and dump operation? Read a offshore prospectus as the scammers prepare to unload their stocks on hapless victims? You can. Someone sent me a fascinating Bestway USA (Now Ziasun Technologies) offering Memorandum (IPO) ) in July of 1997. Its full of information of people running such a scam. Here is an actual prospectus showing a offshore boiler rooms stock manipulation. How high can they make it go? The Prospectus says it is a Initial Public Offering of 2 million shares and are restricted and offered at $5 even though the stock was trading in the open market between $2 and $2.50. At the time of the prospectus there were 10,000.000 shares already outstanding and the stock was already trading in the US all the way back to 1996 when it was Carlisle Enterprises. Bryant D.
