Cort Poyner / Joseph Manfredonia 

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/13/us-pennystock-idUSBRE97C0JA20130813 

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday said they have made arrests in an international penny stock scheme that involved fraudulently inflating shares prices and trading volumes. 

The fraud generated more than $140 million through various brokerage and bank accounts, according to a statement from the office of U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch in Brooklyn. A press conference is scheduled for 11 a.m. EDT. 

Two people, Joseph Manfredonia, 45, of New Jersey, and Cort Poyner, 44, of Florida, were arrested on Tuesday morning, according to Peter Donald, an FBI spokesman. 

A superseding indictment filed earlier this month also names four Canadians and three other U.S. citizens allegedly involved in the scheme. 

The scheme involved fraudulently inflating share prices and trading volumes of certain penny stocks. The defendants also operated a so-called advance fee scheme, making false promises to investors to induce them to pay fees for non-existent services to sell their illiquid penny stock shares, according to the indictment.

Interesting that in the SEC litigation filed against Poyner last week they only listed about $3million in illicit proceeds. Obviously the investigation has blown up into something much much bigger

I have seen the name Cort Poyner in the past 

Here is some of my notes: 

He was involved in an old FBI bust (but was not named in the complaint) 

http://www.justice.gov/usao/nys/pressreleases/October10/portofnewyorkharborpr.pdf 

The investigation into criminal conduct at the Port uncovered a sprawling, multimillion-dollar "pump and dump" stock fraud scheme that used multiple web sites, Facebook pages, and Twitter "feeds" to defraud the investing public into purchasing stocks that were being manipulated by participants in the conspiracy. The scheme was uncovered when investigators identified a longshoreman operating at the Port who received money from others to generate trading volume that "pumped" stock prices in penny stocks ( i.e., low-priced stocks that tend to have lower trading volume and higher volatility). 

The discovery of the longshoremen involvement led to a wiretap and financial investigation that revealed links among over 15 web sites, Facebook pages, and Twitter feeds (collectively the "Internet Stock Tips") that purported to provide penny stock picks based on the authors’ expertise and independent research. In truth and in fact, however, the Internet Stock Tips were orchestrated by participants in the stock fraud scheme to dupe unsuspecting investors into purchasing the stock in order to cause an increase in the stock price and generate trading volume. Once those goals were achieved, participants in the scheme sold their interests in the stock and realized gains, the fraudulent recommendations ceased, and victims who purchased while stock prices were on the rise lost a significant portion of their investment, sometimes within hours. Issuers of the Internet Stock Tips were often compensated by other participants in the scheme who were orchestrating the "pump and dump" operation. 

Financial analysis to date has identified over $3 million in illegal gains by participants in the scheme and a loss in shareholder equity of over $7 million in four stocks that are referenced in the Complaint. The investigation of the stock manipulation scheme to date has resulted in charges against Bradley Susser of Manhattan; Michael Oiring and Thomas Prezioso of Brooklyn; Jeffrey Hurwitt, Ricardo Fernandez, Donna Levy, Michael Steinberg, and William Mackey of Florida; Jeffery Halbirt and Stinson Bland of Texas; and Juan Rodriguez of Pennsylvania.
