SEC Charges California Company and Three Executives with Accounting FraudLitigation Release No. 24181 / July 2, 2018Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Release No. 3945 / July 2, 2018Securities and Exchange Commission v. Axesstel, Inc., et al.(S.D. Cal., filed June 28, 2018)
On June 28, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged a California-based telecommunications equipment manufacturer, its Chief Financial Officer, Former Chief Executive Officer, and Director of Contract Fulfillment and Sales Operations for inflating reported revenues in the company's Middle East, Africa, and Europe region in the fourth quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013.

According to the SEC's complaint, Axesstel, Inc., Chief Financial Officer Patrick J. Gray, and former Chief Executive Officer Harold Clark Hickock III, aided and abetted by Director of Contract Fulfillment and Sales Operations Steven R. Sabin, inflated the company's revenues by prematurely recognizing revenue on sales and by improperly recognizing revenue despite entering into undisclosed side agreements that relieved customers of payment obligations. Additionally according to the complaint, the Defendants inflated unit prices of products to hit revenue targets with the agreement that Axesstel would subsequently repay the inflated amounts to the customer as marketing development fees. The SEC alleges that Axesstel's revenue was overstated by 66% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 38% in the first quarter of 2013.

The SEC's complaint alleges that Axesstel, Gray and Hickock violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and that Sabin aided and abetted these violations. The complaint also alleges that Gray and Sabin circumvented internal accounting controls and falsified Axesstel's books and records in violation of Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13b2-1 thereunder; that Axesstel violated the reporting provisions of Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, and 13a-13 thereunder, and that Gray, Hickock and Sabin aided and abetted Axesstel's violations of 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, and 13a-13 while Gray aided and abetted Axesstel's violations of Rule 13a-11; that Axesstel violated the books and records and internal accounting controls provisions of Sections 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and that Gray and Hickock aided and abetted these violations; and that by signing false Sarbanes-Oxley certifications and lying to Axesstel's auditor, Gray and Hickock violated Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 13b2-2.

Axesstel, Gray, Hickock and Sabin agreed to settle the charges without admitting or denying the allegations of the Complaint and consented to entry of a final judgment that permanently enjoins them from future violations of the securities laws, and orders Gray, Hickock and Sabin to pay penalties of $40,000, $25,000 and $10,000, respectively. Gray and Hickock also consented to entry of a judgment which permanently bars Hickock from serving as an officer or director of a public company, and bars Gray from serving as an officer or director of a public company for five years. The settlements are subject to court approval.

Gray also consented to the issuance of a Commission Order suspending him from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant, with the right to apply for reinstatement after five years.

The SEC's investigation was conducted by Adam B. Gottlieb and supervised by Amy L. Friedman, with the assistance of trial counsel Suzanne J. Romajas and Christian D. H. Schultz, supervised by Jan M. Folena.

It is with great sadness that I am posting to my Dad's Facebook page to say that he passed away last Sunday July 19th. Jim Bishop was doing what he loved fishing in Nootka Sound- he had a Salmon in the cooler and one in the net. Respecting Jim's wishes, there will be no memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim's memory may be made to Nootka Sound Watershed Society, Box 293, Gold River, BC V0P 1G0. He has left a void in many lives and he definitely was one of the good guys.

SEC Charges Purported Biofuel Company and a Dozen Individuals in Chicago-Based Pump-and-Dump Scheme

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2013-143

SEC complaint 1
sec.gov
SEC complaint 2
sec.gov

Washington D.C., Aug. 1, 2013 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a purported biofuel company in Chicago and a dozen individuals in a pump-and-dump scheme that generated $4.4 million in illicit profits.

The SEC alleges that Bosko R. Gasich, a founder and principal shareholder of Zenergy International caused the company to enter into a reverse merger with a publicly traded shell entity called Paradigm Tactical Products. Using backdated convertible debt, Gasich caused Paradigm to issue 300 million shares of purportedly unrestricted stock to his family and friends, a lawyer who served as transaction counsel, stock promoters, and associates of Paradigm.

The SEC alleges that Gasich and Scott H. Wilding, who is the subject of a prior SEC cease-and-desist order, and several stock touters then conducted two promotional campaigns to generate investor interest in Zenergy. These touters failed to disclose the compensation they received for promoting Zenergy. The touting was accompanied by misleading press releases and financial disclosures that were reviewed and approved by Gasich and Robert J. Luiten, who was Zenergy’s CEO. Diane D. Dalmy, who acted as counsel for the reverse merger, issued opinion letters that improperly concluded that her and others’ shares were unrestricted and freely tradable. As Zenergy’s stock price increased in conjunction with the promotional activity and other misconduct, Gasich and others sold their shares into the public market for illicit profits.

The SEC also today announced a trading suspension in Zenergy stock.

“This case covers a broad range of parties who were involved in various aspects of a pump-and-dump scheme to make illicit profits at the expense of the investing public,” said Timothy L. Warren, Acting Director of the Chicago Regional Office. “These individuals included a complicit CEO, Gasich’s family and friends, a lawyer who issued improper opinion letters, and promoters who touted the stock without disclosing they had something to gain.”

In complaints filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the SEC charged Zenergy, Gasich, Luiten, Wilding and his company Skyline Capital, and Dalmy, who live in Chicago, Mobile, Ala., Pembroke Pines, Fla., and Denver respectively. The complaints also charged the following other individuals and their entities:

Gasich Family and Friends
Diana Bozovic – Niece who lives in Evanston, Ill.
Javorka L. Gasic – Sister who lives in Evanston, Ill.
Nenad Jovanovich – Former college roommate and close friend who lives in Chicago.
Kymberly A. Nelson – Formerly engaged to Gasich and shared a residence with him during the scheme.

Promoters and Touters
Dale J. Baeten of Brillion, Wisc.
Charles C. Bennett of Gainesville, Ga.
George E. Bowker III of New Milford, N.J.
Ronald Martino of Cranston, R.I.

The SEC’s complaints allege that Zenergy, Gasich, Baeten, Bennett, Bozovic, Dalmy, Gasic, Jovanovich, Nelson, Wilding, and entities associated with them violated Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933. The complaints allege that Baeten, Bennett, Bowker, and Martino violated Section 17(b) of the Securities Act, and Wilding violated an SEC cease-and-desist order previously issued against him. The SEC further alleges that Zenergy violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and that Gasich and Luiten also violated, aided and abetted, or are liable as control persons for Zenergy’s violations of these provisions. The SEC’s complaint names Market Ideas and Vertical Group Holdings as relief defendants.

Agreeing to settle the SEC’s charges are Baeten, Bennett, Bowker, Bozovic, Gasic, Jovanovich, Nelson, and their associated entities. Without admitting or denying the allegations, they agreed to penny stock bars, permanent injunctions from further violations of the charged provisions of the securities laws, and monetary relief.

Gasich agreed to a partial settlement that imposes disgorgement and penalties, a penny stock bar, an officer-and-director bar, and a permanent injunction from further violations of the charged provisions of the securities laws. He neither admits nor denies the allegations. Amounts of disgorgement and prejudgment interest to be paid jointly and severally by Gasich and his company Market Ideas as well as financial penalties are to be determined by the court.

The SEC’s case continues against Zenergy, Dalmy, Luiten, Martino, and Wilding. The SEC is seeking penny stock bars, disgorgement and prejudgment interest, financial penalties, and permanent injunctions, as well as an officer-and-director bar against Luiten.

The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Kathryn A. Pyszka, Paul M. G. Helms, and Timothy T. Tatman in the Chicago Regional Office. The SEC’s litigation will be led by Daniel J. Hayes and John E. Birkenheier.

CIMA — 2/11/2012 2:19:29 AM

The list of once-obscure metals and minerals that are becoming "strategic" seems to be growing daily. However, population growth and rising living standards in developing countries are driving demand for most raw materials. In this exclusive interview with The Critical Metals Report, Institute for the Analysis of Global Security Senior Fellow Jack Lifton explains how increasing demand and harder-to-mine deposits are raising prices on these essential materials.

The Critical Metals Report: In the last five years, investors discovered lithium and the rare earths. What will be the next big thing?

Jack Lifton: The answer is graphite. Graphite has traditionally been considered a boring, mundane industrial mineral, evoking thoughts of pencils, golf clubs and tennis racquets. Investors should think again. Traditional demand for graphite in the steel and automotive industries is growing 5% annually, and graphite prices have tripled. New applications such as heat sinks in computers, lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, and nuclear and solar power are all big users of graphite. These consumers are beginning to place substantial demands on existing production—and over 70% of that production is from China, which is no longer selling this resource cheaply to the rest of the world as the country's easy-to-mine, near-surface deposits are becoming exhausted.

Graphite's criticality and potential scarcity has been recognized by both the United States and the European Union, which have each declared graphite a supply-critical mineral. Recently, the British Geological Survey ranked graphite right behind the rare earths and substantially ahead of lithium in terms of supply criticality. Clearly, there is much more to graphite than pencils.

http://www.theaureport.com/pub/na/12484

TCMR: What mining companies could fill this growing demand in the coming years?

JL: There is only a handful. Northern Graphite Corporation (NGC:TSX; NGPHF:OTCQX) is, in my opinion, the leading public graphite company. Northern Graphite has the "three Ps" of investing in junior resource companies: people, property and price.

Seven members of Northern Graphite's board and management team have significant senior management experience with mining and exploration companies and are widely known and respected in the mining and investment communities. CEO Gregory Bowes was senior vice president of Orezone Gold Corp. (ORE.TSX) and Ron Little, a director, is Orezone's CEO and founder. Orezone drilled off a 5 million ounce gold deposit in Burkina Faso, Africa, completed a bankable feasibility study and permitting, and started construction before its Essakane project was taken over by IAMgold Corp (IMG.TSX) in a $350M transaction. Iain Scarr, another Northern Graphite director, was commercial director of Rio Tinto's (RIO:NYSE; RIO:ASX) industrial minerals division for many years and is now vice president of corporate development at Toronto-based Lithium One Inc. (LI:TSX.V). Jay Chmelauskas, a director, is CEO and a director of Vancouver-based Western Lithium USA Corp. (WLC:TSX; WLCDF:OTCQX). Don Baxter, president, was mine superintendent at the Kearney Graphite mine in Ontario when it operated in the 1990s and was CEO of Ontario Graphite, which is presently attempting to reactivate the mine, before being lured away by Northern Graphite. George Hawley, technical advisor, started in the graphite business more than 40 years ago and is a leading minerals industry expert.

Northern Graphite's Bissett Creek graphite project has a number of significant advantages over other graphite deposits. It is located about two hours east of Ottawa, the nation's capital, and 10 miles from the TransCanada highway and associated natural gas pipeline, power lines and small communities where workers can live. It is five hours by truck from the port of Montreal and less than one day by truck from the major steel and automotive centers in the northeast United States.

Bissett Creek itself is a very large, low-grade deposit that is located right at the surface, which means it will be mined by simple open pit methods and will have a very low waste-to-ore ratio. It is also very flat lying and therefore production can be expanded by moving laterally rather than going deeper, which is much more expensive. North Graphite's original NI 43-101 report contemplated an operation producing 20,000 tons of graphite per year for over 40 years. Since that time, the resource has more than doubled and it is still open to the north and down dip. This indicates the deposit could support production of 70-80,000 tons per year and still have a mine life of more than 20 years. We do not know of any other graphite deposit in the world that has this degree of scalability and believe that at this production level it would be the largest graphite mine in the world. This feature should make it very attractive to potential strategic partners that want to secure a stable source of long-term supply to meet growing demand.

Another feature that makes Bissett Creek quite unique is that almost 100% of production will be large-flake (+80 mesh), high-purity graphite. Recent metallurgical test results have shown that 50% of production will be even larger, +48 mesh jumbo flake, which will result in premium pricing. We believe Bissett Creek will produce concentrates that have the highest average value per ton in the industry. While Bissett Creek will not be the lowest cost operation due to its relatively low grade, its near-surface nature and low strip ratio will help to balance this disadvantage out, meaning that costs will be in the middle of the pack. Bissett Creek should generate the highest margin per-ton of concentrate in the industry.

Northern Graphite expects to complete a bankable feasibility study in the first quarter of 2012; full permitting should be completed shortly thereafter. It will take approximately $80M and one year to build the mine, so Bissett Creek could potentially be in production in mid-2013. With the bankable study and permitting near at hand, Northern Graphite has a substantial head start on many other companies that have yet to commence either.

Northern conducted its IPO in April of 2011 at CDN $0.50 per share and closed the year at $0.94, which is fairly good performance considering that the TSX Venture Exchange was down about 40% over the same time period. However, with only 37.4M shares outstanding and 45.8M fully diluted, the company has a market capitalization of less than $40M. We consider this very cheap considering the quality of both management and the asset itself, as well as the advanced stage of the project. The company has a minable, diluted resource of over 1.3 Mt of graphite in the indicated and inferred categories, and almost all is large flake, high purity. Accordingly, the market is valuing the company at less than $30 per ton for a product that sells for close to $3,000 per ton and has a margin well over 50%. As the bankable feasibility study and permitting are completed in the near term and the investment profile of graphite goes mainstream, we expect the share price to move substantially higher.

Feds accuse Full Tilt Poker of being Ponzi scheme
By Michael Winter, USA TODAY - Updated 34m ago

Poker player Chris Ferguson during a poker tournament in Las Vegas. Tuesday, the U.S. Justice Department accused Full Tilt Poker and its co-owners, Ferguson and Howard Lederer, of running global Ponzi scheme.

CAPTION - By WSOP/Image Masters

The Justice Department is accusing Full Tilt Poker of being a Ponzi scheme that has defrauded players out of more than $300 million. The civil lawsuit names celebrity players and co-owners Christopher Ferguson and Howard Lederer and other executives of the online site.The Wall Street Journal writes that the government's amended complaint alleges Full Tilt "misrepresented to the website's players that the money the company was supposed to be holding in player accounts was safely held when it was actually being used for other purposes, including payments to owners."

"Full Tilt was not a legitimate poker company, but a global Ponzi scheme," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement. He alleged that Full Tilt "cheated and abused its own players to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars" and that "insiders lined their own pockets with funds picked from the pockets of their most loyal customers while blithely lying to both players and the public alike about the safety and security of the money deposited with the company."

The complaint states:

According to a balance sheet prepared by Full Tilt Poker, as of March 31, 2011, Full Tilt Poker owed players from around the world over approximately $390,695,788 but had only approximately $59,579,413 in its bank accounts. Full Tilt Poker relied on new deposits from players to ensure its ability to fund withdrawals to players' accounts.

Rather than protect player funds as promised, Full Tilt Poker distributed hundreds of millions of dollars to its owners…

Defendant Lederer personally received at least approximately $42 million, including approximately $37,856,010.92 in ownership distributions and at least $4 million in "profit sharing" payments…

Defendant Ferguson was allocated approximately $85,161,305.88 in distributions. Tiltware records reflect that approximately $25 million of this sum was actually transferred to Ferguson's personal accounts, with the remaining balance characterized as "owed" to Ferguson.

No comment so far from Full Tilt, Ferguson or Lederer.

Back in May, Reuters' financial blogger Felix Salmon wrote about " Why the online-poker crackdown makes sense."

Can Do Stocks 2 — 9/19/2011 11:30:30 AM

Side note, I have the feeling from all I read and hear from friends in the middle east
that it's setting up a perfect storm. (Disclaimer I am not bashing Israel) .

By this it seams that the news does not report of the true growing resentment of
Israel by 85+% of the population of the middle east. All the rulers that are getting kicked out
of office have been semi-tame toward Israel. the new leaders are wildcards and Egypt and Turkey
are leaning hard at an aggressive military stance against Israel.

If you really want to get a better idea of the "perfect storm" it will take you about 30 to 45 min
of work.

Do the en.wikipedia.org
1. open a map of the middle east.
2. read what the dominate religion is of all the countries that are surrounding Israel
( not just Muslim and being Islamic but the sub sector of those religions )
3. Look at the ruling class from all the surrounding countries before current changes.
4. Look and see whats going in their places. The New ruling powers are from
the majority religious sub-sectors. This was not the case before, and it will have a
major effect on how they interact with Israel.

5.. If Syria has a regime change it's gonna hit the fan for real.

So how do we prepare for this possible scenario, How do we profit from it ?

US and Canada oil and gas plays should do well, unless the President does a temporary nationalization
when the oil stops flowing from the middle east, Gold, My guess is a sell off from the Arab states keeps
it from going to 2200+ unless the storm starts to be more transparent then it will run to 3000 (fast)
Any thoughts on my perspective are welcome.
