I did notice that Transferonline had suspended my account for lack of payment, they use to give a little grace period. Thanks for the heads up. I was there recently & didn't see (or look for an invoice) since it is usually due by the end of January. I logged in & saw my account was suspended but it gave me the opportunity to pay there. I did.... but even though it shows on my history that I just paid, it would only let me see my information & make changes....but not my holdings. It still says I owe the $25 I just paid...so I assume it takes a bit to catch up. I sent an email early this morning after still not being able to see my stocks. Their reply was ...yes but we have to wait for them to apply it to our account..... and should be able to access it now. I logged in & all is well. 😁 This shows it is best not to get a new email address.... because you would need to update since that is how they will notify you. |

Brian Dvorak, et al (CMKM) Case number: 2:09-CR-00132-RLH-RJJ January 24, 2022: The U.S. Attorney's Office will host a virtual town hall for victims and shareholders in this case on February 11 at 10 a.m. PT. A link to register will be available soon. January 3, 2022: Criminal charges in the case which involves defendant(s): Nickolaj Vissokovsky were dismissed on December 29, 2021. Since the charges have been dismissed, there are no longer any bail restrictions on the defendant's release. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience due to the delayed update, and please know that your case is a priority for the dedicated staff professionals and AUSAs in our office. Defendants Jeffrey Turino, Melissa Spooner, Ginger Gutierrez, James Kinney and Jeffrey Mitchell U.S. District Court - Las Vegas, NV Please be aware that the criminal prosecution in the District of Nevada (United States v. John Edwards, et al., 2:09-CR-00132-RLH-RJJ) is separate from and unrelated to a civil suit in the Central District of California that has now been dismissed (David Anderson, et al., v. Christopher Cox, et al., 8:10-CV-00031-JVS-MLG). In Anderson, the plaintiffs alleged that the SEC and other agencies of the U.S. Government conducted a sting operation against "illegitimate brokers, dealers, market makers, hedge funds, and other persons and entities that had engaged in naked short selling of CMKM Diamonds Inc. Stock." Essentially, the Anderson case involved allegations against an entire industry. In contrast, the superseding criminal indictment in the Edwards case charged a more clearly defined group of defendants: specific insiders who engaged in fraud through shell companies. Specifically, between approximately May 1997 and April 2008, the defendants used various shell companies – including Pinnacle Business Management, Inc. (May 1997 to December 2003); CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (November 2002 to October 2005); St. George Metals, Inc. (July 2004 to July 2005); and Global Diamond Exchange, Inc. (November 2005 to April 2008) – to defraud purchasers of stock in those companies. The defendants secretly authorized increases in the number of available shares and falsely represented or hid the true number of shares from investors. At the same time, the conspirators issued billions of shares to themselves through affiliates. By falsely claiming that these shares had not been issued to company affiliates, the conspirators were able to sell these shares without restrictions imposed by law. By issuing false and misleading press releases regarding the companies’ business activities, the defendants were able to drive up demand for the companies’ stock while selling their shares at a profit. Court Documents Second Superseding Indictment Link to PDF On March 24, 2010, the grand jury returned a sealed Second Superseding Indictment which added the following defendants: Jeffrey Turino, Nickolaj Vissokovsky and Jeffrey Mitchell. In addition, several new charges were added, alleging that certain defendants engaged in a conspiracy to conduct an enterprise engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity, a conspiracy to sell unregistered securities and to commit securities fraud and a conspiracy to commit money laundering. On May 6, 2010, the Second Superseding Indictment was unsealed. Superseding Indictment Link to PDF The superseding indictment in United States v. Edwards, et al., alleges as follows: the defendants combined and conspired to perpetrate a fraud involving the issuance and sale of CMKM stock over a period of several years. Hundreds of billions of shares of CMKM stock were sold to thousands of investors during that span. Investors in CMKM are invited (but not required) to complete the following questionnaire. The questionnaire solicits information pertaining to this case for purposes of enabling prosecutors to confer with and receive information and opinions from victims of the CMKM scheme. Please note that while the completed questionnaires will not be publicly accessible, relevant information may be disclosed to the court and/or defense counsel in accordance with the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and other laws. |

It is interesting that they say we are a high priority...
And why would the Town Hall take 1 & 1/2 hrs. ?
🙏🤞😁

Well here's what we no know, in case you missed the marathon 5-minute coffee break webinar.
There were 1000 submissions made to the VNS to be declared a victim. They will be reaching out by email to those people in the next two weeks. They will inform you of (up to three things): - You qualify.
- You need to provide more information...such as the receipt for what you paid. If you lack the receipt they will provide a form on which you can declare (under penalty of perjury, should it not be correct) what you paid for your shares and from whom.
- You do not qualify as a victim.
Why might you not qualify? - You got your shares as a gift.
- You bought shares after revocation and not from a brokerage...thinking you would be part of a big payout, yet they don't consider you financially harmed.
You may recall in previous Town Halls they stated you had to have bought between certain dates and hold your certificate. So it seems they're further refining or verifying the legitimacy of everyone as a "victim." They also stated previously that the FBI was making those determinations. He also stated there is no pool of money, no Trusts, no real estate to be liquidated--nothing that would provide significant funding. (Yet they're still verifying victims) He mentioned that the defendants were paying their restitution, but it doesn't equate to a significant collective amount either. He stated at the onset, Vissokovsky has been dismissed--yet never said why. They will reach out to the 1000 to let them know over the next two weeks and if you've not heard from them by March 1, 2022 you are welcome to email him at tony.lopez@usdoj.gov. So that's what we now know. As for dot connecting... - It does smack of not being forthcoming, though it could be a case of unrealistic expectations.
- The TH was set up for 90 minutes with one attorney...it was changed to 5 minutes with another. That seems odd at the last minute. Maybe it isn't?
- He referenced the "victims" but never addressed "shareholders"...and perhaps never intended to. Yet the email invite to this TH cited addressing both
My mind runs down this path and admittedly I could be entirely running the wrong direction. I contend they didn't need this webinar for the info that was delivered. Could have been an email, could have been a post on the website. I'm also stuck on the "can never be stated" when it comes to the impropriety of the brokerages for the over-sold status of the shares. Keep in mind this TH doesn't address that--this is only addressing the harm caused by the insider defendants. So...more to come? It might have been underwhelming, disappointing or even maddening...but it could not have been surprising. This is the norm with CMKX, isn't it?

It's just the public show as they drag things out until they run out of legal maneuvers IMO. After the public show is finished I still expect the private packets with the .40pps info from a Vegas law firm. Optimistically speaking ,everything fits a $200 billion Iron Bob win that was delayed by opposing forces until 2022.Cheers

All bona-fide shareholders should be very excited. Two events, the legal play and the preparation of restitutions. Next event distribution of our assets. IMHO

For those members who may not be familiar with the boards... if you see a number by messages at the top of your screen, you need to click on it to read your pm (private message)
You must log in to see that. 😁

I sent the DOJ guy an email. I haven't gotten the victim emails in years. I haven't been contacted by the other settlement investigation group either that was to verify our certificates... what's going on there? What communication site was that group? Concerned about getting an update!

From another board: 16 hours ago, "portrush" : "My buddy called today and actually was able to speak to Veronica. He sent his paperwork to be declared "harmed" over a year ago w/o any reply. She was kind but knew nothing. Said she didn't make the determinations about harmed/unharmed...someone else would. She mentioned another TH at the end of this month." cmkxunofficial.proboards.com/thread/13325/doj-email?page=1&scrollTo=172457 |

Tried to send an E-mail to tony.lopez@usdoj.gov. and it says it's invalid, can someone help with this? He said Tony, but you might try Anthony.Lopez@usdoj.gov That could’ve been my mistake. |

I researched the email address and tony.lopez@usdoj.gov is valid. @tbone may have included the . (period) behind gov which would cause it to be rejected.
