I'm not sure that your use of the word "accusations" is appropriate. I have no doubt whatsoever that Kevin Halter, in my own view, is a Bad Guy, but I posted it to be helpful and am not prepared to argue about it. I also don't care enough to start researching my own "scam files" from back then to see if I can find it, but I'd be surprised if some on SI don't recall the details. I think it was around 1994-95, so I wonder whether whatever you're searching goes back that far. I forget the name of the company, but it was a microcap on the AmEx, and I think the ticker started with S. I also vaguely recall that company spinning off another tiny AmEx company. If I remember correctly, there was a shareholder lawsuit, or at least the threat of one, based upon Halter allegedly enriching himself and his colleagues, and some SEC problems (maybe a trading halt, maybe only restated "earnings" - I just don't remember). That should give someone enough to go on. EDIT: I just did a search for Halter's name on Northern Light. The little company that was spun off from his main gig was Digital Communications Technology and I now recall that the ticker of that one was DCT.
