T2, I did not say they were respectable, only that they are very good at what they do. LOCK is the only name I can recall offhand from their past. Barb

There has been a number of postings on YAHOO's LBOR thread that indicate (correctly or incorrectly) that this QUANTUM company issuing the LBOR release is the SAME company which was investigated for FRAUD by the SEC as per the following: sec.gov UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 15555, November 10, 1997 SEC V. TEDDY WAYNE SOLOMON AND LISA STEVENS, individually and d/b/a PLATINUM INTERNATIONAL, AND QUANTUM GROUP a/k/a QUANTUM TRADING, LTD. 3:97- CV-2712-H (USDC/ND TX Dallas Division) The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") announced the filing of a complaint on November 5, 1997 against Teddy Wayne Solomon and Lisa Stevens, individually and d/b/a Platinum International Associates ("Platinum"), and Quantum Group, a/k/a Quantum Trading, Ltd. ("Quantum"). After a hearing on the filing date, the Honorable Barefoot Sanders issued an order providing emergency relief in the form of a order temporarily restraining defendants from violating the federal securities laws, imposing an asset freeze and requiring an interim accounting. The complaint also seeks preliminary and permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, and the appointment of a receiver. Named as defendants for relief purposes only are Quantum Air Express, Inc., and Cherokee Worldwide Express, Inc. The complaint alleges the defendants are violating the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws found in Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, by offering and selling interests in fictitious "Prime Bank Instrument" trading programs through Platinum and Quantum. The complaint further alleges that Solomon and Stevens represented, among other things, that they were agents for foreign securities traders trading in large-denomination debt instruments issued by "one of the top 25 world banks," and that an investment in the trading programs would generate "safe, guaranteed" returns of as much as 4,300 annually. Additionally, the complaint alleges that Solomon's and Stevens' representations were false: the trading programs do not exist, and Solomon and Stevens, in an apparent "ponzi scheme" have used funds taken from investors to pay putative profits to their business associates, to repay other investors, and for their own purposes. A hearing as to the Commission's application for a preliminary injunction is set for November 24, 1997.
