XYBERNAUT FORMER VICE PRESIDENT OF INVESTOR RELATIONS UPDATE. SEC SANCTIONS ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE, INC. It has been just over a year since the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc.(ESWW), and eleven other defendants, including former ESWW president Teodisio Pangia, three companies controlled by Pangia, and ESWW’s former chairman Bengt Odner, with orchestrating a massive “pump and dump” campaign for ESWW shares. See Diamond Discoveries International, Inc. - Are These Diamonds Forever Or Never? For years, Pangia operated behind the scenes, investing through offshore corporations in a series of obscure, ultimately unsuccessful, over-the-counter companies, including Infotopia, Inc. (Pink Sheets: IFTA) and Ives Health Company, Inc. See Zero Degrees of Separation - North of the Border; Part II - It Sure Is A Small, Small World; Zero Degrees of Separation, Part III - Were Those Irish Eyes Smiling, Or Is Georgia on Their Mind?; Zero Degrees Of Separation - The Last Hurrah? Infotopia, which unabashedly issued press releases containing unrealistic revenue projections, and dispensed millions of shares to consultants and favored investors, including Pangia, now trades at around one one hundredth of a cent, and has virtually vanished from the scene. Ives was shuttered after the SEC and federal prosecutors charged that the Company and its founder were fraudulently marketing an AIDS treatment. The SEC complaint against ESWW, Pangia, and his cohorts, was filed on August 7, 2002, and alleged that the defendants issued ESWW stock to various insiders through a sham private offering, and then proceeded to "pump" the market by issuing false and misleading press releases, millions of spam e-mails and a paid analyst’s report. The false statements that fueled the campaign to boost ESWW stock prices involved claims that ESWW had developed a “revolutionary catalytic converter. According to the SEC the “pump and dump” campaign achieved its desired effect. ESWW stock soared in value by about 250%, from $2 to $7 per share. Pangia and one other defendant profited by selling approximately $15 million of ESWW stock into the unsuspecting market. ESWW and Odner have now settled the charges, without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, by consenting to judgments, permanently enjoining them from future violations of the federal securities laws. Odner also has agreed to pay a $25,000 civil penalty. Unfortunately, the settlement does not result in any recovery for investors who were scammed by the “pump and dump” scheme. The cases against Pangia and the remaining defendants are still pending. (9/25/03)
