Tobin Smith pumps Greenhouse Solutions $GRSU

This morning I received an email from email@investorsalley.messages4.com advertising Greenhouse Solutions (GRSU) as a new Tobin Smith promotion and linking to the promotion website http://stockreportsnow.com/index.html

Autris $AUTR Online landing page pump & dump

Sarting a few days ago I started receiving promotional emails promoting Autris (AUTR) and linking to the website at http://www.risingstockadvisor.com/autr/

Given the low budget and the weak state of the market for stock promotions, I think this will likely never get much volume and will slowly fade.

Stock promoter Eric Cusimano pleads guilty to conspiracy to commit stock fraud

Eric Cusimano, former owner of BestDamnPennystocks.com and related websites, pled guilty yesterday to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and to tax evasion. He could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for March 26th. While I do think that Eric Cusimano is scum he did at least have the decency to insist that the government drop charges against his wife as part of his plea deal.

As part of the plea, Cusimano turned over over $1.2 million, two pieces of property in New York’s southern tier, a boat, several “valuable” pieces of jewelry, and $340,000 which he had stored in accounts in Panama and Belize

Of course the forfeiture is only a small portion of the over $7 million that investigators say Cusimano made over the four year period.

See these local news stories on the plea for more details:

Federal court seizes millions from former Jamestown man, sets record
Chautauqua County stockbroker pleads guilty to duping investors

I have written about Cusimano’s legal troubles a few times over the last several months:

Promoters Eric Cusimano & Jamie Boye indicted
Full text of the Bestdamnpennystocks.com Cusimano/Boye indictment
Update on USA v. Cusimano & Boye
Prosecutors close to plea deals with stock promoters Boye and Cusimano

Jamie Boye, a stock promoter who worked closely with Cusimano and who was also charged in this same case, remains in plea talks with prosecutors, and and in the mean time the trial has been adjourned until February 6th:

With respect to Defendant Boye, the parties have been actively discussing a pretrial resolution, and a draft plea agreement has been prepared and provided to the defendant for review. Additional time is necessary for defense counsel to review the draft plea with Defendant Boye and to finalize plea discussion with the
government. Therefore, the parties are requesting additional time to allow a change of plea and sentence to occur in the present case relating to Defendant Boye.

SEC Suspends trading in perennial pump Geo Finance Corp $GEFI

Three days ago the SEC suspended trading in Geo Finance Corp (GEFI). This stock has been pumped and dumped numerous times, most recently on December 9th to 11th by EpicStockPicks.com, StockoftheWeek.net, UnitedPenniesofAmerica.com, Pennypicks.net, DamnGoodPennyPicks.com, ImpressivePennystocks.com, TodaysPennyStocks.com and BeatPennyStocks.com.

See SEC suspension notice for GEFI (PDF)

The reason for the suspension was the usual boilerplate about innacurate information and potentially manipulative activity:

The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of GEFI because of concerns regarding the accuracy and adequacy of information in the marketplace and potentially manipulative activity related to GEFI common stock.

The Commission acknowledges the assistance of FINRA in this matter

Continuing a recent trend of increased activity by FINRA, the SEC acknowledged FINRA’s assistance (above).

Coinciding with the recent pump the company put out two press releases on December 9th, which likely also played a part in the suspension:

GEO Finance Corp (OTC: GEFI) Gears Up To Provide First Set Of Evaluation Batteries For United AirlinesPR Newswire(Tue, Dec 9)

Coastal Integrated Services $COLV gets a Wall Street Revelator pump

Coastal Integrated Services (COLV) is a new Wall Street Revelator landing page pump for which I received my first pump email today although others reported receiving pump emails on the 4th. The email directed me to http://www.colvreport.com/

So far there is very little volume and it has about a 10% bid/ask spread. Because is is a Wall Street Revelator / Andy Carpenter pump there is a good chance that there will be hard mailers promoting COLV in the future. The large number of shares outstanding makes me think it unlikely that this pump will go up much if at all. Per Promotion Stock Secrets there are at least 28 million free-trading shares available to be dumped into the pump.

Disclosed budget: $12,500
Promoter: Wall Street Revelator / Andy Carpenter
Paying party: ?
Shares outstanding: 352,487,940

Prosecutors close to plea deals with stock promoters Boye and Cusimano

See my most recent post on the case against stock promoters Eric Cusimano, his wife Jessica, and Jamie Boye.

Three days ago the trial against Boye and the Cusimanos was adjourned until December in anticipation of all defendants reaching plea deals:

Since the initial appearance, counsel for the government has spoken
extensively with all defense counsel, and anticipate that a pretrial resolution will be reached
in this case for the defendants. In the case of Defendant Eric Cusimano and Defendant
Jessica Cusimano, the parties have discussed the parameters of a potential plea, and have a
nearly finalized plea document. The parties need to clarify a few minor issues, at which
point the plea will be submitted for approval. In the case of Defendant Jamie Boye, the
parties have discussed the parameters of a potential plea, and additional discovery has been
provided to assist in evaluating the plea. For all of the defendants, the pre-indictment plea
process has been lengthy due to the complex issues regarding the plea, including loss
calculations for guidelines purposes, associated tax issues, and the forfeiture of assets that
will accompany the plea. Therefore, the parties are requesting additional time to allow a
change of plea and sentence to occur in the present case.

Complaint

Falconridge Oil Technologies $FROT landing page pump

This morning at 7:01am I received an email from Marketing@insiderwealthalert.com with an advertisement for Falconridge Oil Technologies (FROT) linking to a website for the pump at http://frotinfo.com/

Given the low budget and the weak state of the market for stock promotions, I think this will likely never get much volume and will slowly fade.

Disclosed budget: $150,000
Promoter: Charles Moskowitz dba The Moskowitz Report
Paying party: Eclipse Media
Shares outstanding: 49,016,667
Previous closing price: $0.92
Market capitalization: $45 million

Excerpt from disclaimer:

The publisher was paid the sum of $7,500 for his contributions. Eclipse Marketing has budgeted $150,000 for the week of October 20th, 2014 for the dissemination of this information to enhance public awareness for FROT
