IMO it made quite a stretch to portray SPLM as a China play. The underlying company is supposedly a resource play in Australia. The paid mailer's argument was based apparently on little more than the notion that Australia is located not too far from China. |

| To: peter michaelson who wrote (1002) | 2/10/2011 8:34:54 PM | | From: Q. | | | | I got a similar TUFF tout in December, but it had the date "December 2010" in the upper right, and it had the headline "15 TIMES your money between now and year end"
So the February issue still promises 15 TIMES your money, but now it's "within three weeks."
Apparently the 15-times return is three weeks away, and always will be.
You can see the effect of the December and February mailings in the TUFF chart.
It's also curious to see these cold-climate return addresses, Fargo ND for the TUFF mailer and Green Bay WI for the SPLM mailer. I thought promoters liked to live either in Canada or someplace warm. |

Another promotional company litigation:
sec.gov
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Case No.:
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION,
Plaintiff,
- against -
WALL STREET CAPITAL FUNDING LLC,
PHILIP CARDWELL, ROY CAMPBELL, and
AARON HUME,
Defendants.
COMPLAINT
Plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), for its Complaint against
defendants Wall Street Capital Funding LLC (“WSCF”), Philip Cardwell (“Cardwell”), Roy
Campbell (“Campbell”), and Aaron Hume (“Hume”) (collectively “Defendants”) alleges:
SUMMARY OF ALLEGATIONS
1. Defendants are stock promoters – they make their living repackaging “news”
released by penny-stock companies and distributing it along with their own, always optimistic
commentary.
2. Over the course of their long careers, Defendants have knowingly or recklessly
played a critical role in numerous penny-stock scams. For example, from April 2009 to January
2010, Defendants created and distributed promotional material for a supposed oil-explorationand-development company known as PrimeGen Energy Corp. (“PrimeGen” or “PGNE”).
PrimeGen purported to be headquartered in Bridgewater, New Jersey and to have operations in
Russia. According to its press releases, PrimeGen supposedly brought at least twelve oil wells
Case 1:11-cv-20413-DLG Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/07/2011 Page 1 of 512
into production in the span of nine months and generated many millions of dollars of revenues.
PrimeGen, however, was a pure scam: its corporate headquarters were a rented mailbox in a UPS
Store opened with a do-not-forward instruction; its phone line was unattended and never placed
outgoing calls; and its web page was generated by copying the source code from another
company’s web site.
3. Similarly, from January 2009 to November 2009 Defendants created and
distributed promotional material for Caliber Energy, Inc. (“Caliber” or “CLBN”), which
purported to be an Atlanta-based developer of wind-energy projects in China. Again, despite a
series of effusive announcements about its expanding business, Caliber’s headquarters were a
rented mailbox in a UPS Store and its phone line was an unattended, outgoing-only line.
4. Defendants’ promotional materials take the form of “investment opinions” sent to
newswires, “spam” emails sent to as many as fifty million recipients at once, and other forms of
electronic communication. Defendants’ materials typically express a positive opinion about the
company being promoted, its revenues, and the future direction of its stock price. But Defendants
have no reasonable basis for those opinions. Even when they have received ample warning signs
that a scam is afoot, Defendants always do the same thing: they close their eyes and publish.
5. At the same time, Defendants falsely create the appearance of an independent
basis for their statements about the companies they promote. For PrimeGen, Caliber, and
numerous other penny stocks, Defendants’ investment opinions and other promotional material
falsely or at best misleadingly stated that the company being promoted “ha[s] not approved the
statements made in this release nor approved the timing of this release,” that “all statements and
expressions are the sole opinion of WSCF and are subject to change without notice,” and that
“information in this release is derived from a variety of sources including . . . WSCF research.”
Case 1:11-cv-20413-DLG Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/07/2011 Page 2 of 513
In fact, however: the companies in question commonly had approved of the statements WSCF
made about them; WSCF had coordinated the timing of its releases with the companies; most of
WSCF’s statements about the companies had come from the companies themselves and
accordingly were not WSCF’s sole opinion; and WSCF had not independently researched the
companies or otherwise created a reasonable basis for WSCF’s claims.
6. The misinformation disseminated by Defendants concerning PrimeGen, Caliber,
and other penny-stock issuers has misled investors or, at a minimum, created a serious risk of
misleading investors. The purpose of WSCF’s activities was to make a promoted penny stock
appear attractive, leading members of the public to buy the stock, and thereby to drive up the
price. Such price increases directly benefitted WSCF, which was commonly paid in stock of the
promoted company. On information and belief, such price increases also benefitted insiders who
were holding shares of the promoted company that the insiders could then sell for a profit – a
classic “pump and dump” scheme.
