About BUYINS.NET WWW.BUYINS.NET is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight naked short selling. Naked short selling is the illegal act of short selling a stock when no affirmative determination has been made to locate shares of the stock to hypothecate in connection with the short sale. Buyins.net has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the naked short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted and naked shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short and naked short trades. BUYINS.NET has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 1,200,000,000 short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like Buyins.net to access the data. The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each month's short transactions, BUYINS.NET provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin. All material herein was prepared by BUYINS.NET, based upon information believed to be reliable. The information contained herein is not guaranteed by BUYINS.NET to be accurate, and...

UNIVERSAL EXPRESS CRIMM ROUNDUP. UNIVERSAL EXPRESS PROMOTER INDICTED ================================ D. Weidenbaum and CLX & Associates Unregistered Sales 88. Beginning in or around September 2004, Weidenbaum and CLX entered into an arrangement with Universal Express for the Company to sell shares to CLX purportedly in exchange for "consulting" services. ragingbull.quote.com --------------------------------------------------- Weinbaum hired Weidenbaum, a stock promoter, to redistribute the false information through websites, spam e-mails and fax blasts. Weidenbaum enlisted a group of stock promoters who then executed illegal “matched orders” with Red Sea’s nominee brokerage accounts in order to “jump-start” the market and increase the price of the stock. ======================================== U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Litigation Release No. 21862 / February 18, 2011 Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jonathan R. Curshen, et al., Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-20561 (S.D. Fla.) (JLK) SEC Charges Seven in $7 Million, International Pump-and-Dump Fraud Jonathan R. Curshen’s Offshore Asset-Protection Company, Red Sea Management, Allegedly Effected the Manipulative Trading Today, the Commission filed a complaint against Jonathan R. Curshen, 46, a Sarasota, Florida resident who allegedly founded and led Red Sea Management Ltd., (“Red Sea”), a Costa Rican asset protection company that, according to the complaint, effected pump-and-dump schemes on behalf of its clients and laundered millions of dollars in trading proceeds out of the United States to its clients; David C. Ricci, 39, and Ronny Morales Salazar, 39, of San Jose, Costa Rica, whom the complaint describes as Red Sea stock traders; Ariav “Eric” Weinbaum, 37, and Yitzchak (or Izhack) Zigdon, 47, of Israel, allegedly two of Red Sea’s clients; Robert L. Weidenbaum, 44, of Coral Gables, Florida, allegedly a stock promoter who operates a company called CLX & Associates, Inc.; and Michael S. Krome, 49, a Lake Grove, New York lawyer, who allegedly wrote a fraudulent opinion letter for their respective roles in a fraudulent pump-and-dump scheme in the common stock of CO2 Tech Ltd. that was carried out from late 2006 through April 2007. According to the complaint, the defendants’ coordinated misconduct enabled them to sell CO2 Tech stock at artificially inflated prices, resulting in profits of over $7 million. Defendant Ricci simultaneously offered to settle with the Commission in a consent submitted for the Court’s consideration. According to the complaint, CO2 Tech Ltd. was a sham company without significant assets or operations whose stock prices were quoted in the Pink Sheets. The complaint alleges that CO2 Tech falsely touted business relationships that the company had not formed, including a relationship with the Boeing Company when in fact there had been no communications, correspondence or understandings between CO2 Tech and Boeing. According to the complaint, Weinbaum and Zigdon were Red Sea clients, who initiated the pump-and-dump of CO2 Tech as follows: Weinbaum and Zigdon used the services of defendant Michael S. Krome, an attorney who issued a fraudulent opinion letter to enable them to have the restrictive legend removed from their CO2 Tech stock certificate, giving them nearly full control over the freely tradable shares of CO2 Tech stock. Weinbaum hired Red Sea to sell massive quantities of CO2 Tech stock to the investing public through its web of nominee brokerage accounts. Zigdon caused materially false and misleading information about CO2 Tech to be disseminated in press releases and on its website. Weinbaum hired Weidenbaum, a stock promoter, to redistribute the false information through websites, spam e-mails and fax blasts. Weidenbaum enlisted a group of stock promoters who then executed illegal “matched orders” with Red Sea’s nominee brokerage accounts in order to “jump-start” the market and increase the price of the stock. As a result of the false media campaign and the illegal matched orders, the market price of CO2 Tech stock increased from $0.91 per share at the market’s close on January 29, 2007 to $1.65 per share at the close on January 30 – an increase of 81 percent in one day. The trading volume increased from 729,100 shares on January 29 to 12,204,700 shares on January 30 – an increase of 1,573 percent. The complaint alleges that after Weinbaum hired Red Sea, Weinbaum directed Red Sea stock traders Ricci’s and Salazar’s sales of the stock, and Ricci and Salazar placed multiple layered orders to sell CO2 Tech stock -- thereby creating the false appearance that the market for the stock was deeper than it actually was. The complaint alleges that Curshen, Ricci, Salazar, Weinbaum, Zigdon, and Krome violated Section 5(a), (c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) [15 U.S.C. §§ 77e(a), (c), and 77q(a)] and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder [15 U.S.C. § 78j(b) and 17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5]. Weidenbaum is charged with aiding and abetting Weinbaum and Zigdon’s violations of Exchange Act 10(b) and Rule 10b-5. In its complaint, the SEC is seeking permanent injunctions, accountings, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest, civil money penalties, and penny stock bars against all defendants. Without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, Ricci offered to accept an injunction against future violations of these provisions and a penny stock bar. The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the Fraud Section of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service whose attorneys and investigators conducted a parallel criminal investigation, which led to the filing of felony charges today against certain of these defendants. The Commission further acknowledges the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and several foreign law enforcement agencies that provided substantial support to this investigation. In particular, the Commission expresses its appreciation for the support of the Costa Rican Police, British Columbia Securities Commission, Israel Securities Authority, United Kingdom Financial Services Authority, and The City of London Police.
