NASD Regulation also found that Asensio & Company failed to file, with NASD Regulation’s Advertising Regulation Department, 43 research reports regarding nine issuers and a brochure regarding the firm, all of which were contained on the Web Site. In addition, the firm failed to file at least 71 messages which were posted on bulletin boards run by America Online and The Motley Fool. Asensio & Company and Manuel Asensio also failed to establish, maintain, and enforce procedures reasonably designed to achieve compliance with the advertising rules, the rules relating to short selling, and the rules relating to trade reporting.>

Bill, great research on REFR. Mr. P$nk, in His infinite wisdom and being both munifiscent in His glory and resplendent in His famous robes, stopped by your most popular and excellent thread, (His own being so scantly populated due to His extended holiday taking with Mrs. P$nk and the usual entourage of body guards, hangers on, friends, family members, et. al.) thought He would offer a gift to those of your readers who enjoy the activity of shorting stocks run by peculiar types a la Amos Aharoni. That is to say, those from foreign shores with unusual backgrounds and a history of litigation and accused duplicity. Mr. P$nk's gift to you and all is a little company based in Brentwood California on San Vincente Blvd. called American Pharmaceutical Partners, or APPX for those with a penchant for stocks traded electronically on the NASD. It seems that anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of the company and access to lexis/nexis or even google might search for the names of the Company's founder and CEO Patrick Soon-Shiong and the words "Litigation, Lawsuit, Criminal, Charged" and see what comes up. You might run a similar search for the Company's COO, a certain Mercedes CLK convertible driving Jeffrey Yordon who old timers might remember worked for a certain "controversial" company called Lyphomed, back in the day. It has been some time, Mr. Wexler, who He believes once won a coveted P$nky Award for your excellent research on one name of another. Godspeed to you, Mr. Wexler... Mr. P$nk
