Message 14205874 But Wolfson, Gammill, and McGee are not the only players in these microcap schemes with alleged connections to family members of the Mafia. In January, 1997, the "Mail On Sunday" British newspaper ran a story disclosing Michael Zwebner's adulterous affair with Gia Franzese, daughter of Columbo Family boss Sonny Franzese, and sister to famous mobster-turned-straight man Michael Franzese. According to the article, Zwebner abandoned his wife in UK to live with Franzese in Miami, Florida. Gia Franzese died of a cocaine overdose in a Miami area motel while Michael Zwebner was in Israel on a business trip. Miami police said they found a fax from Zwebner in Gia's motel room in which Zwebner had asked Gia Franzese to marry him earlier that day. The police determined that the death was accidental. Also in January, 1997, Zwebner, who is a citizen of U.K. and of Israel, filed documents with the court in U.K. confessing that as of January, 1997, he was an undischarged bankrupt, due to an involuntary bankruptcy filed against him several years earlier relating to Zwebner's business and financial failures in the U.K. in the early 1990's. But Zwebner has failed to disclose this fact in his SEC filings relating to Talk Visual Corporation, as well as his position on the board of directors of Michael Solomon's Entertainment Internet, Inc., and of Sector Communications, a company headed by financier Mohammed Hadid, another recipient of Zwebner's insider e-mail list. (The SEC requires that any bankruptcy proceedings relating to any principal officers or directors of a reporting public company be disclosed in the company's regular filings with SEC. Zwebner's bankruptcy-related proceedings occurred three years ago.) But Zwebner's blemished past appears to have no impact on his loyal online followers and investors, who, supplemented by Zwebner's inside circle of online touters of TVCP stock, affectionately refer to him as "Mr. Z" and appear to take Zwebner's word as "Gospel" in cult-like fashion, whenever Zwebner denies his online critics' allegations. One poster stated, when referring to an SEC financial filing by TVCP, "I don't understand what any of that means, but Mr. Z says the company is solid, and that's good enough for me."
