CASPER for OCT 5th: OPINION, to be continued on Oct 6th
In Response To: CASPER for SEPT 1: "Sometimes its darkest right before the dawn. Many say this is the status of things." (hobie)
Hi, Folks -
Received from Wendy via e-mail - discernment is advised:
***************************************************************************
WE continue to observe activity not in keeping with our desired outcome. All activity visible to us spells ‘Status Quo Forever’. And so, we count on and continue to believe in that which is not yet visible to us.
· WE hear the Fed secretly sent another 42B to Europe this week. We hear it went to Greece and Spain but current news speaks of ‘DEXIA’, a big Belgium Bank getting bailed. It does not matter where the Fed’s Funny Money goes, only that the bad guys continue to bail their fellow snakes in the grass. After several weeks in a row of inviting ‘the world’ to explain how bailing Fiat Banks with Fiat Computer Digits equates to our getting funded, the silence is deafening. Nevertheless WE take comfort in the sure knowledge that what is left of their Fiat World is a Big Black Hole requiring Six to Eight T’s to even make a dent in their problems.
· Once again the Incorporated Supreme Court refuses to address the Obama eligibility issue. What are the people to do when every aspect of Government has been taken over by thousands of unconstitutional Corporations primarily concerned with their own survival and covering up decades of crimes against their own people?
· After Bank Of America announced their $5.00/month debit card fee customers tried to withdraw deposits and were refused entry to the Banks (see video posted on RMN - http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=217406 ). All laws are now being used to protect the ‘Power Structure’ and are used to oppress and ‘herd’ the people. This week a couple has been fined for having a Sunday School Class in their home. The ‘Executive’ is completely out of control, is a cesspool of corruption and no longer represents the people. Each President is more corrupt than the previous ones. When Bill Clinton stood beside and shook hands with Boris Yeltsin and said, on worldwide television, “welcome to the rich man’s club”, it was not clear at the time what he meant. It’s clear now. He was welcoming Yeltsin to an International Crime Syndicate run by the worlds Political Leaders. The price of admission? A willingness to gut your country and to rape your own people which Yeltsin promptly did. Obama has just given Nancy Pelosi’s husbands brother 737 Million Taxpayer Dollars for another “Green” boondoggle. Spain ‘went green’ to the tune of tens of billions---a complete failure across the board. 34B of the 42B mentioned above supposedly went to Spain to save them from their ‘Green Fever’. Pelosi’s husband is supposedly worth 400 Million made from Government Contracts. The never ending fight in D.C. is over which Criminal Group will get to RAPE the people and the country for the next four years. Our land and our people are overlaid by a gigantic spider web full of blood sucking spiders seeking to distribute and redistribute every citizens money to their friends and supporters. It is a gigantic con-game and We The People are the ‘marks’. Most every spider has ‘Government’ stamped on its forehead.
· The CFTC delayed its meeting (scheduled today) to limit the number of Silver Contracts one entity can hold thereby aiding J.P Morgan/Chase in its ongoing manipulation of the Silver Market at the expense of other investors, the market itself and the public in general (J.P is trying to liquidate 30K or 40K Silver Contract Shorts) . The CMKX lawsuit against the SEC for three point something Trillion Dollars is being converted into an IMF Program, WE hear, in order to avoid public awareness of this area of Government Corruption if this massive Class Action should became known. My point is, whether we are discussing Solyndra, Fast and Furious, lack of Birth Certificate, false Social Security Numbers, any of the above items or any of LITERALLY DOZENS of other SCAMS and CONS being run from Washington D.C. our ‘Government’ is a CESSPOOL OF CORRUPTION. It is a SEWER of Power and Greed and Personal and Special Interest. Nothing is lower in their world than ‘The People’. If you think Obamacare, for example, has anything to do with improving your health or your health care then count yourself as exceptionally naďve. The’ Government’ of the Corporation of THE UNITED STATES has declared ‘we the people’ to be Enemies of the State and they did so in writing. Now we have a camera on every corner, Paramilitary trained law enforcement killing and maiming citizens every day with impunity and immunity, draconian rules and regulations designed to ‘control’ every aspect of life in America. One need not look far or be exceptionally attentive to observe the ‘changes’ taking place at break neck speed.
· Italy’s debt was downgraded THREE NOTCHES today by Moody’s. Dexia (big Bank in Belgium) is in deep deep doo doo. France’s top three banks are ‘in the toilet’ as are Deutsche Bank, UniCredit (Italy), etc… All big Euro Banks are Bankrupt. Marking their ‘assets’ to market would reveal just how ‘underwater’ they are so, as in the U.S., all big banks continue their completely fraudulent accounting practices WITH GOVERNMENT APPROVAL proving the Politicians are equally corrupt and are OWNED outright by the banks and defrauding and snookering the public is their role in the illegal and unconstitutional CORPORATE GOVERNMENT. They know what is going on, they are participants in it, therefore they are TRAITORS. Greece must default and run all lenders out of the country or simply deed everything from the Parthenon to the Acropolis over to them (lenders) along with their wives and daughters. Again I say, no haircuts, CUT THE USURIOUS BASTARDS HEADS OFF. A worldwide renunciation of debt. Debt forgiveness. Jubilee. Do over. Mulligan. As goes Greece soon goes the U.S.. Have our National Parks, Wetlands and Military Secrets already been sold by Hillary and Obama? The Ponzi Monetary System and the Fractional Banking System are OUTRIGHT FRAUDS which have been ripping off the people for a HUNDRED YEARS. These systems must be ‘Flushed’. Their Fraudulent Loans must be Flushed.
· WE hear Greece told Bernanke today, ‘thank you very much, we will take your bailout funds but we will cut nothing. No more job cuts or austerity measures. You want to save your fraudulent fiat asses by stopping the dominoes here? Provide funds then get lost’. If Greece goes under it backs up into the Commercial Banks then into the Central Banks and crashes the Ponzi Fraudulent Financial Playpen post haste. Greece has apparently figured this out and found the courage to say “It is our debt but it is your problem”. Ain’t that a hoot? A play on the U.S. Treasury Secretary’s words ‘it’s our dollar but it’s your problem’. The debtor owns the lender because the lenders entire Fiat World System hangs in the balance. My guess is that the other PIIGS will follow suit very soon. Goldman Sachs, more than any other, is responsible for Greece’s woes having led them into a financial death trap. . How do those BASTARDS sleep at night? Greece is Socialist in the extreme. This is another example of the failure of Socialism. Given what they have told Bernanke it is also an example of how impossible it is to withdraw the Govt Teat once provided. As an example, in Greece people retire at 53 will full pay and benefits. They are refusing to alter this, refusing to raise taxes, refusing to cut Pension Benefits, etc.. So they are flat busted financially. They can’t even pay Govt Salaries. So here we can once again observe what Socialism does to a Country Financially and also the impossibility of ‘Saving Themselves’ from themselves. The drug addict will not willingly give up his drugs. What do you think will happen in the U.S. when the Unions are faced with Austerity caused by their exorbitant contracts which bankrupted many companies, and cities such as Detroit, and caused tens of thousands of companies to move to China? They told you what they would do—on National Television a couple of weeks ago. Violence, ‘take out’ anyone trying to mess with their Gravy Train (Union Contracts) constructed for them by the Democratic Party.
· Fed Funds Flying is a stalling tactic. They can’t ‘print’ enough fast enough to save their stinking sinking ship, IMO.
· WE were advised this morning when the Dow was down 234 on top of yesterday’s 258 and Fridays 240 that the PPT was coming to the rescue. At the close today the market was up 154, a 388 point swing. ALL is manipulated. Government screws its own people daily. They are CRIMINALS.
· Anonymous says NYSE to be wiped from the Internet Monday. Interesting. The NYSE/Deutsche Bourse Merger has been cancelled.
· What we can see coming is frightening. To what extent ‘The New’, assuming it comes to pass, can lessen these difficulties is the great unknown. The potential exist for things to turn out great. Think about the possibilities, Personal and National Debt Forgiveness? No more IRS? No more wars? Our funding?
· Why all this upset over B.of A.’s $5.00 Debit Card monthly charge? Citi says they are going to charge a $20.00 monthly fee unless account balance in excess of fifty thousand dollars (on T.V. and Radio today). Banks, after being bailed by taxpayers, now borrow funny money from the Fed at one percent and lend/charge customers 25/30% for Credit Card purchases. What a racket. Bonuses are greater now than before the crash. They should be in prison cells across from the politicians cells so they can all scream and holler at each other for the next 50 years. Better still, handcuff them all together in a huge circle. Give each one a machine gun. Put Barney Frank and Criss Dodd in the middle. Put the leftovers on the railroad track.
· Now that we have all gotten behind Cain as I suggested he is now tied with Romney in the polls. I didn’t realize how much influence I had (ha).
· WE hope those saying ‘today’ know what they are talking about. They have a new excuse every day. WE can find nothing moving at this time.

Naked Short Selling of America and the World. Will Rupert Murdoch and the News Media continue to cover it up
Florida OFR presentation dated April 22nd, 2011 COALITION COMPLAINT AGAINST THE FBI/SEC/DOJ
This complaint is for all shareholders and covers all views, it has been passed by many shareholders before going in and all have agreed to file it for themslves with the Las Vegas FBI and other authorities as a show of unity. Enough is enough, it is time to demand the authorities get investigated for their role in this fraud and its cover up, or just pay us!

Dear Sir,
My name is Dave Nelson and I represent the CMKX Shareholders for Justice, a group of shareholders who demand an independent investigation into the many Authorities involved in the CMKM Diamonds Inc (CMKX) fraud case. We have entered evidence which clearly shows that the SEC and other authorities aided and abetted corrupt insiders of CMKX currently indicted by the DOJ and covered up the fraud committed by countless Wall Street firms, and/or this was a DOJ sting operation, in which case the Authorities are illegally withholding the victims’ restitution collected in that operation so perpetrators could avoid criminal prosecution. In either case the facts call for an independent investigation into the Authorities role in this fraud and its cover up, a fraud which has directly cost the shareholder of CMKX hundreds of millions of dollars. Authorities involved include: the SEC/DOJ/FBI/IRS/RCMP. We demand accountability!
We have shown that fraud and manipulation is the modus operandi of the SEC in particular and other Authorities hereby mentioned in evidence submitted to the Las Vegas FBI and many other regulatory agencies. A brief history of corruption of the aforementioned authorities in the form of a pdf file was delivered to Jerald Burkin of the FBI and to various Authorities in Canada who have taken no action. This evidence outlines the timeline of the largest fraud in history, the counterfeiting of the stock market, which occurred prior to 1996 when FBI Special Agent Robert Wright launched Operation Vulgar Betrayal, through Operation Uptick in 1999-2000, and continues unabated to the present. Former Special Agent Wright said, in essence, that the U.S. Department of Justice had been captured by Al Qaeda’s most important financiers, and given the crimes he talked about continue until today it is clear the agencies involved are still captured. The proceeds of these crimes went to organized crime families, to terrorists, and the major Wall Street brokers who aided them. This evidence was entered to Burkin in early 2009, along with the evidence in the CMKX case in particular which followed the same pattern of the SEC aiding massive counterfeiting:
http://cmkx.info/CMKM-BRIEF-HISTORY-OF-SEC-CORRUPTION-2010-06-08.pdf
Additional evidence implicating the Authorities in directly aiding the corrupt insiders of CMKX and others who defrauded shareholders is included in a letter by Mark Faulk, CEO of CMKX. He outlines the fraud that was allowed to occur by the SEC and other Authorities; all of whom stood by silently as the fraud happened after they had subpoenaed the records that were used in the indictments:
http://www.cmkmdiamondsinc.com/letter-m_index.html.
In the CMKM Diamonds Inc. case, specific evidence was given to Mr. Burkin which clearly showed the SEC, FBI, DOJ, and IRS were complicit in the crimes which took place and the cover up of the fraud by all of the Wall Street firms involved, a mirror image of Operation Uptick and Operation Vulgar Betrayal. Here is a list of the crimes alleged to have been committed by the SEC, FBI, DOJ, and IRS, further known as The Authorities in the CMKM Diamonds Inc. case. This list either shows the Authorities allowed this crime to take place and aided and abetted the fraud committed against CMKX shareholders, or they allowed this fraud to take place to run a sting operation as outlined in Al Hodges bivens case and have harmed all victims by withholding illegally their restitution for over five years. There clearly there needs to be an independent investigation into these points:
1. The Authorities investigation (into CMKX) was well under way by May 2004, before hundreds of billions of shares were sold to investors in a publicly traded company and the money laundered. Corporate insiders were aided and abetted in their crimes by high-powered attorneys, accountants, transfer agents, major banking institutions, brokerage houses, and clearing firms. It occurred right under the noses of the SEC and NASD (now FINRA); both agencies ignoring dozens of blatant warning signs, allowing the scam to go on for years. The Coalition asks for an investigation into why the Authorities just allowed these crimes to happen and the money laundered over years when it was their duty to stop these crimes when they detected them in 2004, costing the company and its shareholders hundreds of millions of dollars.
2. The Coalition alleges and has provided evidence that Leslie Hakala conspired with ex-SEC attorney D. Roger Glenn (who wrote opinion letters allowing over 300 billion shares of stock to be dumped into the market) to facilitate the sale of hundreds of billions of shares of CMKX stock, all proceeds from those sales were apparently stolen right under the nose of The Authorities while they watched. D. Roger Glenn escape and indictment by the DOJ for his role in this fraud. PR person for CMKX, Andrew Hill, has publicly stated Leslie Hakala was fully aware of what was happening inside CMKX and had been in contact with D. Roger Glenn in 2004. Furthermore, the FBI never questioned Andrew Hill, even though he had pertinent, incriminating first-hand information in this case. The Coalition asks for Andrew Hill to be deposed and Leslie Hakala and other SEC enforcement attorneys investigated for their role in this fraud and its cover up.
3. When Leslie Hakala met with CMKX management and shareholders lawyer Bill Frizzell on May 11th 2005, she was fully aware of the fraud inside CMKX at this time. Bill Frizzell presented her with indisputable evidence of massive counterfeiting of CMKX stock, a fact that later proved to be true as 622 billion unregistered shares were sold in CMKX stock out of 703 issued and outstanding shares in total. Mr. Frizzell had direct evidence of hundreds of billions of unregistered share sales by brokers such as Etrade, Ameritrade, TD Waterhouse, and others. None of those brokers were ever indicted and no civil action has ever taken place despite the indisputable evidence of their crimes. Not only did Leslie Hakala not stop these crimes from happening, and saving shareholders hundreds of millions of dollars, but she allowed the fraud to continue. These corrupt brokers were allowed to sell hundreds of billions of additional counterfeit shares, steal the illegal proceeds, and then have their crimes completely covered up. Hakala allowed corrupt management to launder their proceeds from their crimes for years. The Coalition asks for an immediate investigation into the evidence presented at that meeting and to the SEC actions and inactions after that meeting.
4. Co-conspirators John Edward Dohnau, Michael Williams, and Rendal Williams, plus a cast of numerous other associates have not been charged for their part in this massive fraud. Why?
5. The phone records from NevWest, which show that they contacted the SEC each time Edwards came in with CMKX certs to sell, many of which were clearly forged and fraudulent, some even “signed” by an individual who had been deceased for months. Instead of taking action to halt the obvious fraud against innocent shareholders, the SEC and NASD (FINRA) ignored the evidence and dozens of other red flags, allowing the scheme to continue unabated, costing unsuspecting buyers of CMKX stock hundreds of millions of dollars. The Coalition wants access to those phone records and an investigation into why the SEC allowed those certs to be sold after they had already subpoenaed the fraud records used in the indictments and SEC civil action.
6. Clearing firm Computer Clearing Services (now owned by Penson Worldwide, Inc.) helped John Edwards trade over 250 billion shares of CMKX stock totaling over $53 million. Clearing firms and brokers weren’t the only ones who ignored red flags that should have triggered the filing of Suspicious Activity Reports. Several Nevada banks, most prominently Silver State Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, allowed CMKM Diamonds and related fraudulent companies to run hundreds of millions of dollars through dozens of accounts. Penson is mentioned in the article, which documents the counterfeiting of the stock market by Wall Street, organized crime and terrorists; a crime which all Authorities were fully aware of before the year 2000 and did nothing to stop although trillions of counterfeit shares were sold into the market and trillions of dollars stolen from the general public: http://www.marketrap.com/article/view_ar….shor t-selling. The Coalition asks for an investigation into Penson Worldwide’s history of covering up the crimes of Wall Street, organized crime, and terrorist naked short sales, and those of John Edwards in particular.
7. The Authorities subpoenaed the Silver State Bank regarding suspicious activities on September 5th 2004 (the Silver State Bank had no action taken against it for its role in this fraud) BEFORE hundreds of billions of shares were sold in CMKX stock. The evidence gathered from that subpoena showed 64 million dollars went through the Silver State Bank. Among the transactions executed by Silver State Bank after those subpoenas include:
• Wire transfers totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars were executed with only the notation “transferring to Personal Acct. per cust. Transfer via phone”.
• Checks from various accounts set up as shell companies and controlled by Casavant and Edwards written out only to “CASH”…including one for $350,000.
• Multi-million dollar wire transfers between Edwards and Casavant run through dozens of accounts they controlled there.
• Millions of dollars written out of company accounts to Casavant, his wife Carolyn, and several family members; often on temporary checks.
The Coalition asks for an investigation into why the Silver State Bank continued to allow money laundering into the millions of dollars when the Authorities had already subpoenaed the fraud records used in the indictments and civil actions. We also ask for an investigation into why the DOJ and SEC allowed these crimes to continue unabated when they already had the evidence of the crimes.
8. The Authorities allowed Robert Maheu, Urban Casavant, and other management to continue to promote the sale of CMKX stock through various means, including a drag racing team, after they were fully aware of the fraud inside CMKM Diamonds Inc. Robert Maheu, Roger Glenn and Don Stoecklein were not indicted for his role in this fraud although six hundred billion shares were sold while they ran CMKX. The Coalition wants an investigation into why these individuals were not indicted; why the DOJ and SEC continued to allow them to promote this fraud after they had subpoenaed the fraud records; and why they allowed these masterminds the time to launder their proceeds from their crimes.
9. In letters to other brokers in mid-2005, shareholders lawyer Bill Frizzell not only identified the brokers who sold over 300 billion shares of CMKX stock, but those brokers continued to sell unregistered shares for months while The Authorities watched. The money from the sale of hundreds of billions of shares (approximately 190 million dollars) was stolen by these brokers, with none of those known brokers being indicted, and none of that money recovered. Why were these brokers not indicted, and why were their crimes covered up? Why did the Authorities continue to allow them to sell unregistered securities in CMKX stock when the fraud was clearly detected?
10. In Bill Frizzell’s letter to TD Waterhouse in Canada, he explains that none of the shares sold by them were even on the NOBO list, meaning they were sold unregistered. TD Waterhouse continued to sell unregistered shares of CMKX stock for months, as did all other Canadian brokers. In his letters, Mr. Frizzell also stated that the SEC was watching this very closely. Mr. Frizzell stated in his deposition to the SEC that none of the Canadian brokers had shares on the NOBO list, indicating all shares sold in Canada were sold unregistered. There has been no action against any Canadian brokers from The Authorities and since all illegal shares sold by Canadian brokers were grandfathered, they would not have to cover their fraud. The Coalition asks that there be a public inquiry (by an outside agency) into the grandfathering of trillions of counterfeit shares by Wall Street, organized crime, and by terrorists. The crimes could have been stopped well over a decade ago, but were allowed to happen, and then the fraud covered up. Why?
11. According to Bill Frizzell, Andrew Petillion (Branch Chief of Enforcement at the Pacific Regional Office for the SEC) issued this warning with regards to his evidence of the naked short in CMKX stock:
“By the way, if this is an orchestrated short squeeze against the brokerage houses to make the stock price go up, we will come after those who are responsible. We would not look kindly on a cert pull because it would cause market manipulation.”
The Authorities allowed CMKX stock to be manipulated down, but would not allow the natural correction for this: a short squeeze. This mirrors what the SEC said to David Patch regarding the Grandfather Clause: it was supposed to stop runs in stocks which had been manipulated by Wall Street firms, which in-turn counterfeited trillions of shares of stock in hundreds if not thousands of publicly traded companies. An example of this is Eagle Tech Communications. Authorities knew Eagle Tech was the victim of counterfeiting by Wall Street firms and crime families, but grandfathered those counterfeit shares so they would never have to be covered, while protecting the criminal firms at the same time. The Coalition wants to know why the DOJ and SEC allowed Wall Street firms to create the Grandfather Clause (with the help of the SEC) as this allowed felonies to be covered up; felonies committed by terrorists and organized crime families.
12. The Authorities and alleged corrupt Judge, Brenda Murray (see the modus operandi of Brenda Murray in evidence presented regarding the Gary Aguirre cover up), would not allow evidence of massive naked shorting in CMKX stock in the administrative hearing (October 5, 2005) that eventually ended up in the revocation of CMKX stock. Financial expert Jim DeCosta analyzed the naked short in CMKX stock and found it to be 14-1. No evidence of any other broker’s fraud or the fraud already detected by The Authorities was entered into the hearing, and billions of shares of CMKX stock traded afterwards; all monies stolen from shareholders. The Coalition asks for an investigation into the cover up of the largest naked short in history by Judge Brenda Murray and the SEC enforcement attorneys. The Coalition asks for an investigation into why the Authorities allowed this crime to continue when clearly they were aware of it, and why did they allow all of the money to be stolen from the victims in this case when they could have stopped it in 2004?
13. In Civil Action No. 2:08-cv-0437, 4-7-08, United States District Court for the District of Nevada, Leslie Hakala alleges that “To divert attention from their own dumping of CMK shares, Casavant persuaded CMKM’s investors that the reported high trading volume in CMKM stock reflected extensive “naked short selling” rather than ordinary stock dilution.”
Leslie Hakala was fully aware that there was massive naked shorting in CMKX stock by Wall Street firms (evidence entered to the FBI in this case), and that she concealed the fact that there were other perpetrators besides the insiders of CMKM Diamonds Inc. This is a mirror image of the victims of Operation Uptick. From March 2003 through May 2005 John Edwards sold almost 260 billion shares of the purportedly 622 billion registered/unrestricted CMKM shares. That leaves approximately 362 billion purportedly registered/unrestricted CMKM shares that Leslie Hakala fails to account for in said civil action. The Authorities try and make it look like all shares and money stolen was by the corrupt insiders. The Coalition asks for an investigation into Leslie Hakala’s actions which appear to be nothing short of criminal and follow the modus operandi of covering up the crimes of Wall Street firms.
14. In its Grand Jury Superseding Indictment 2-09-CR-00132-RLH-RJJ, 5-27-09, United States District Court, District of Nevada, the Grand Jury charges that:
“…To create the appearance of an active and established market for CMKM stock, and to disguise the fact that the conspirators were virtually the only sellers of CMKM stock…”
DONALD STOECKLEIN DEPOSITION, 1-24-06
In said deposition, Donald Stoecklein testifies that naked short expert Jim Decosta, with 25 years of experience, told both Bill Frizzell and him that a 14 to 1 short position exists in CMKM stock.
That means that for every one legitimate share that exists, 14 naked short shares exist, which in turn means that numerous naked short sellers exist. In said deposition, Donald Stoecklein testifies that they obtained a NOBO list and the number of CMKM shares on that NOBO list exceeded the number of CMKM shares on the list of 1st Global Stock Transfer, which in turn means that naked short sellers exist. The Coalition demands that Jim DeCosta’s report be made public along with the cert pull deposition which shows the Authorities made false statements in this case to cover up the crimes of many Wall Street brokers by making it look like corrupt insiders were the only sellers of unregistered shares of CMKX stock.
15. On 6-24-09, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed Motion for Summary Judgment Against Defendant John Edwards (#991), Motion for Summary Judgment Against Defendant Daryl Anderson (#102), and Motion for Summary Judgment Against Defendants Kathleen and Anthony Tomasso pursuant to Civil Action No. 08- CV 0437, 4-7-08, United States District Court for the District of Nevada. In said Motion for Summary Judgment, the Securities and Exchange Commission alleges, “CMKM provided investors with phony maps and fabricated videos of alleged mineral claims in North and South America.”
The following was left out of the Administrative hearing. The following are excerpts from Regional Triaxial Aeromagnetic Survey Assessment Work Report by N. Ralph Newson, William Jarvis on the Fort a la Corne Diamond Project:
“Drilling results and additional ground magnetic and gravity surveys have shown the best known kimberlite bodies to be bedded, and to have a very different shape from most known kimberlite bodies. In most of the well-known diamond mines in Africa, for example, and in those in the NWT in Canada, the upper portions of the kimberlite bodies have been eroded, leaving only the feeder pipe, which has a “carrot” shape, getting smaller in diameter with depth. However, in the Fort ŕ la Corne swarm, the tops of the kimberlitic volcanic edifices are COMPLETELY PRESERVED [emphasis added by author], and they are shaped more or less like a soup bowl, with two larger horizontal dimensions, and one smaller vertical dimension. Several of these have an inferred geological resource (based on a few holes and on geophysical modeling) in excess of 100 million tonnes, one has nearly a billion tons, and one group of five which are close together, or perhaps coalescing, contain about 2 billion tons of kimberlite. There are thus HUGE VOLUMES OF KIMBERLINE WITHIN A FEW HUNDRED METRES OF THE SURFACE.” [Emphasis added by author].
The Coalition asks for an independent investigation into all claims held by CMKX past and present, including the warehouse full of core samples currently held in a warehouse in Saskatchewan, not mentioned in the hearing, under the control of Emerson Koch, Urban Casavant’s partner. We ask for an investigation into all land lost during the era where the DOJ and SEC allowed the masterminds in CMKX management to commit fraud against the shareholders or when the DOJ sting operation was on.
16. If this was purely a fraud, then the DOJ/FBI should have already extradited Urban Casavant since the evidence they used against him was from late 2004. It is unacceptable that the Authorities allowed Urban to sell hundreds of billions of shares after they knew he was committing fraud, it is unacceptable the Authorities gave him time to launder that money, and it is unacceptable they have not arrested the largest penny stock swindler ever. He is free to do what he wants and spend the money he stole from shareholders while we lost everything and our company was destroyed. The Coalition demands to know why Urban Casavant has not been arrested for his crimes.
17. The SEC revoked CMKM Diamonds Inc on October 28th 2005, knowing that would prevent the perpetrators from ever having to cover their naked short positions in CMKX stock and in turn ensuring that the shareholders would never recover the damages they suffered. Thousands of victims in other companies of the exact same crime also received no compensation from this massive naked shorting fraud. This tactic was used in concert with the perpetrators who counterfeited the stock market into the trillions to cover-up the fraud and allow the criminals to escape from having to cover their counterfeit shares. The perpetrators in concert with the SEC and DTCC grandfathered trillions of dollars in felony counterfeit stock sales to hide the largest crime in history. The Coalition asks for a full investigation into the Grandfather Clause and the hundreds to thousands of companies who were victims of the illegal clause and in particular all firms who had their shares Grandfathered that sold illegal CMKX stock.
The evidence above is just the tip of the iceberg on the damage caused to the victims in this case by the Authorities. If this was just purely a fraud there is more than enough evidence to call for an independent investigation into the Authorities’ role in this fraud and its cover-up. If this was a sting operation, then there is clear, insurmountable evidence that crimes are still happening, preventing the restitution for all bona fide CMKX shareholders from being released. The Victims have been and continue to be harmed- either way.
Here is evidence entered to SA Burkin, the DOJ Victims’ Rights official in Nevada, and to Gayle Jacobs of the Las Vegas FBI, which indicates the Authorities allowed this fraud to continue as they were using CMKX as a vehicle in a DOJ sting operation run in concert with Robert Maheu. This operation resulted in perpetrators secretly paying into a fund for the victims in this case to avoid criminal prosecution. I asked Debra Waite of the Victims Rights office to investigate the evidence below, and she refused, but referred me to the Las Vegas FBI where I already had asked Jerald Burkin to investigate this evidence and corroborate Al Hodges allegations. This evidence clearly affects the indictments Jerald Burkin is working on in the CMKX case and it is his duty to investigate this evidence. He refused. The Coalition demand that an independent investigation into the Nevada DOJ/FBI’s handling of this case. Also, the shareholders request that an immediate investigation take place into Al Hodges June 17th letter to a representative of China where he claims President Obama is committing extortion which is preventing the release of our restitution and all other allegations put forth by Mr. Hodges. This letter is included in this complaint and on its own merit should be the basis of an immediate criminal investigation.
Below are the second set of questions and requests that the Coalition feels needs to be answered legally by the FBI and SEC.
1. Why is the DOJ/FBI in Nevada refusing to corroborate Al Hodges allegations and investigate his evidence which clearly contradicts the Nevada DOJ and FBI, fully-knowing that pertinent information would affect the indictments in this case? It is the legal duty of the FBI in this case to investigate this information as it comes from a credible source who is directly involved in this matter.
2. Why has the FBI refused to investigate the allegations that extortion is taking place which prevents the release of the restitution illegally held from victims in this case? Why have they not questioned Al Hodges and Michael Cottrell regarding this matter when they can corroborate the allegations put forth? The FBI apparently is doing nothing to stop the crimes currently being committed, further harming the victims in this matter.
3. Mr. Hodges says he has an eye witness to the fact that the restitution should have been released over five years ago. It is the legal duty of the DOJ/FBI to depose Al Hodges’ witness to the facts as it has dramatic impact on their current indictments in this case, if necessary he should be subpoenaed.
4. The DOJ/SEC subpoenaed the fraud records used in the indictments and civil actions in 2004, then allowed the fraud to continue for well over a year. Was the DOJ/SEC allowed to use CMKX and its shareholders as a vehicle in a sting operation and hide that fact from them? I talked to officials at the SEC, but didn’t mention CMKX; those officials said that it is the SEC’s legal duty to stop the fraud when detected, to halt the stock. In CMKX’s case, they not only didn’t stop the fraud they allowed it to continue unabated costing shareholders hundreds of millions of dollars in loses.
5. Was it the legal duty of the DOJ/SEC to include the fraud records they had subpoenaed in the SEC file given to company officials and lawyers in June 2005? Those records ended up being the basis for most of the actions by the DOJ and SEC against Urban Casavant and John Edwards. I personally spoke to John Martin of the Owner’s Group (which hired Bill Frizzell to represent the shareholders) and according to Martin they were fully aware of the Silver State Bank fraud records, as were all shareholders as it was on the internet in Feb. 2005. The fact that the management and shareholders’ lawyer had access to these confidential records and then worked with Urban Casavant proves this was either a sting operation, or they aided this fraud and its cover up. The Coalition demands to know exactly what confidential banking records management and Bill Frizzell were privy to and when to prove if this was a sting operation.
6. Mr. Hodges claims in his bivens case that the DOJ/SEC told CMKX officials that the release of funds was imminent on many occasions, but this was not true. Is it legal to have secret negotiations to take place regarding our restitution, and is it legal for the DOJ/SEC to lie to company officials about the release of their money? Does that not violate the rights of the victims and should the DOJ/FBI be required by law to investigate the facts surrounding these negotiations? Exactly who were these officials?
7. Reece Hamilton, plaintiff in Mr. Hodges bivens case, claimed that Mr. Hodges trustee received the codes from the authorities to release our restitution on or about DEC 30/31 2009, and that the taxes were taken out at that time. This was later confirmed by Mr. Hodges, and the tax issue confirmed in a complaint to AG of New York Andrew Cuomo, which is in the evidence package. Did giving our trustee the codes and having them not work violate our victim’s rights, and should it be the duty of the DOJ/FBI to investigate the officials who gave those codes and why they didn’t work? Who exactly gave the codes to our trustee?
8. Mr. Hodges filed a complaint with the AG of New York stating taxes were taken out of the settlement funds, which has now violated several banking laws, why is there no investigation into these crimes?
9. Mr. Hodges, in an update to his plaintiffs, said that he hears that the DOJ signed off on the distribution of our money, and says that his trustee is in constructive control of that money. He said he has three independent eye witnesses who have seen the packages coming to all shareholders with their restitution in it. It is the legal duty of the DOJ/FBI to investigate these eye witnesses who have seen these packages as they contain the restitution for the victims in this case?
10. Plaintiff Robert Hollenegg contacted the London FBI, and has contacted the Las Vegas FBI to give his statement of the facts as he knows them. He will corroborate public statements he made including the fact he was on the phone with Al Hodges when the funds were transferred to our trustee; funds which have still not been distributed to the victims in this case. Gayle Jacobs of the Las Vegas asked for Mr. Hollenegg’s contact information but did not contact him as of yet. Why has Robert Hollenegg not been interviewed and the facts in question, substantiated?
11. Mr. Hodges claims to have first-hand knowledge that the fund containing the restitution for all CMKX bona fide shareholders was not released BECAUSE it was attached to the World Global Settlements. It is the legal duty of the DOJ/FBI to investigate CMKX being attached to the World Global Settlements and to confirm or deny Al Hodges direct knowledge of this? Mr. Hodges supposedly has direct knowledge that Senators were briefed on the situation and the pending release of the World Global Settlements, which includes the restitution of funds for all bona fide CMKX shareholders. Hodges can corroborate this fact made public by plaintiffs in his bivens case. It is the FBI’s duty to corroborate with Al Hodges the public comments made by the plaintiffs in his case; public comments which were updates directly from Mr. Hodges and entered into the FBI?
12. Mr. Hodges has an eye witness to the deals made by the DOJ and Robert Maheu in Las Vegas; he claims these deals were videotaped. The Coalition wants these tapes made public immediately if our restitution is not released.
13. Work was done to identify the brokers, who counterfeited CMKX stock that includes Jim DeCosta’s report; Susanne Trimbath’s report; and the Cert Pull work product in possession of the SEC; all of which were hidden from the public. Is this not clear evidence of a cover up of the crimes committed by Wall Street brokers? The Coalition wants all those records made public immediately and those experts deposed, or our restitution released. These records will show which brokers stole 190 million dollars from CMKX shareholders, and will allow us to take legal actions against them if Mr. Hodges is lying and there were no deals made in secret by the DOJ and Robert Maheu.
14. The Coalition asks for a complete list of what documents were given to CMKX management in the SEC file, and exactly what confidential banking records CMKX management and Bill Frizzell were privy to and when. This will immediately prove whether this was a sting operation, or whether these individuals aided Urban Casavant to commit fraud.
15. Several letters were written and made public by Al Hodges to different world leaders that allege crimes were or are being committed by high ranking officials in the United States, including the board of the Federal Reserve. These crimes affect the release of our restitution and the Coalition would like an immediate investigation into these allegations. A list of names and contact information from all letters is available to corroborate their authenticity.
16. In file no. S7-19-07, Bud Burrell, consultant in the John O’Quinn multi trillion dollar lawsuit against Wall Street brokers for naked shorting, states the following regarding CMKX: “No fewer than three federal criminal confidential informants were involved in the deal before the stock ever started trading”. The Coalition would like this investigated and Bud Burrell deposed as he has information regarding the sting operation that took place. He can also comment on the size of the overall fraud that was covered up over the past decade and the Authorities role in that cover up.
If the above isn’t proof enough that a thorough immediate investigation be conducted of the DOJ, the SEC and the FBI, then perhaps what is written below will convince you from deepcapture.com. This is one of the Authorities own admitting the truth over a decade ago, the Authorities were and are completely captured. This is evidenced by the fact the crimes talked about below continue unabated to today:
“In 1996, FBI Special Agent Robert Wright launched Operation Vulgar Betrayal, the FBI’s first major effort to crack down on what would later be termed the “SAAR Network” of financial entities with links to Hamas, Al Qaeda, and other jihadi outfits. Among Agent Wright’s principal targets were the billionaire hedge fund manager Yasin al Qadi (who, as I say, was Osama bin Laden’s favorite financier) and his U.S.-based bagman, Yaqub Mirza. But Wright (who referred to Yasin al Qadi as “Al Qaeda’s banker”) was removed from the investigation in 1999. Operation Vulgar Betrayal was shut down in 2000. According to Wright, his team’s efforts were foiled by U.S. politicians and FBI higher-ups who were unnerved by the fact that he was investigating powerful people who had considerable influence in both Washington and Saudi Arabia (ostensibly a key U.S. ally). Former Special Agent Wright said, in essence, that the U.S. Department of Justice had been captured by Al Qaeda’s most important financiers. The capture apparently extends to the SEC, which has shown no signs of investigating the trading of people like the billionaires who comprise Al Qaeda’s Golden Chain and who funded the SAAR Network. (In fact, in the view of Deep Capture, the capture of the SEC by criminal financial operators is essentially total, unlike the DOJ.)
When Agent Wright blew the whistle on the political interference with his FBI investigation, he literally broke down in tears as he publicly apologized for the FBI’s failure to complete its mission.”
In conclusion, the Coalition demands our restitution be released immediately, or a thorough independent investigation into the evidence entered in this complaint. We demand an outside agency investigate on our behalf as we have clearly shown that the Authorities are not capable of being unbiased as Former Special Agent Wright said, in essence, that the U.S. Department of Justice had been captured, he should have included the SEC.

COMMISSION,
Plaintiff,
vs.
MARCO GLISSON,
Defendant
Case No. 2:09-cv-00104-LDG-GWF
PLAINTIFF SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION’S
MOTION IN LIMINE TO
EXCLUDE AT TRIAL
TESTIMONY OF CERTAIN
WITNESSES THAT WERE NOT
DISCLOSED BY DEFENDANT
DURING DISCOVERY
Case 2:09-cv-00104-LDG-GWF Document 79 Filed 10/14/11 Page 1 of 8
I. INTRODUCTION
In this matter that is set for trial on November 14, 2011, Plaintiff Securities
and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) moves in limine for an order
excluding testimony from six defense witnesses: Al Hodges, William Percy,
Joseph Ray Overman, Shelia Morris, Jack Miyler, and Connie Miyler. In the Joint
Pretrial Order, defendant Marco Glisson (“Glisson”) listed these individuals as
witnesses he may call at trial in his defense. However, Glisson failed to disclose
these witnesses in his initial disclosures, during discovery, to supplement his
disclosures or discovery, or to offer to make these witnesses available for
deposition by agreement – even though the discovery cut-off has passed. Indeed,
while defendant listed the names in the Joint Pretrial Order, defendant has not
provided even rudimentary contact information for these witnesses.
The Commission first learned the identity of these witnesses as defense
witnesses long after the close of discovery, and has had no opportunity to take the
depositions of, seek documents from, or otherwise investigate the expected
testimonies of any of these witnesses. Consequently, pursuant to Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure 26(a)(1)(A) and 37(c)(1), the Commission requests that the Court
issue an in limine order precluding defendant from calling these six witnesses to
testify at trial.
II. LEGAL ARGUMENT
A. The Court Should Preclude Defendant From Calling These Six
Witnesses at Trial
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(1) requires all parties in a civil action
to disclose to the other parties “the name and, if known, the address and telephone
number of each individual likely to have discoverable information, along with the
subjects of that information, that the disclosing party may use to support its claims
Case 2:09-cv-00104-LDG-GWF Document 79 Filed 10/14/11 Page 2 of 8
or defenses, unless the use would be solely for impeachment.” Fed. R. Civ. P.
26(a)(1)(A). Rule 26(e) requires that initial disclosures be supplemented or
corrected in a timely manner if a party learns that its disclosure is incomplete or
incorrect and the additional or corrective information has not otherwise been made
known to the other parties during the discovery process or in writing. Fed. R. Civ.
P. 26(e)(1). The Rules mandating such disclosures were promulgated primarily to
help parties focus the discovery that is needed and facilitate preparation for trial or
settlement and, specifically with respect to the requirement that the identities of
potential witnesses and the subject areas of their likely testimonies be disclosed, to
assist parties in deciding which depositions should be taken. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
26, Advisory Committee’s Notes to 1993 Amendments.
Rule 37(c)(1) “gives teeth to these requirements by forbidding the use at
trial” of any information or witnesses required to be disclosed by Rule 26(a) that
are not properly disclosed. Yeti by Molly Ltd. v. Decker Outdoor Corp., 259 F.3d
1101, 1106 (9th Cir. 2001). Rule 37(c)(1) provides that a party that fails to make
the required initial disclosure of witnesses “is not allowed to use that information
or witness to supply evidence on a motion, at a hearing, or at trial.” Fed. R. Civ. P.
37(c)(1). The sanction against a party that fails to disclose a potential witness “is
meant to prevent unfair play between parties, i.e., litigation by surprise.” Igbinovia
v. Catholic Healthcare West, 2010 U.S. Dist. Lexis 129316 (D. Nev. Dec. 7, 2010).
Unless the failure to disclose is “harmless” or excused by “substantial
justification,” the sanction is mandatory; the Court must impose the sanction of
precluding the undisclosed evidence or witnesses.1 Yeti, 259 F. 3d at 1106 (“The
1 Courts generally limit finding that a nondisclosure of potential witnesses
was “harmless” to situations where the witness’ identity and subject areas of
potential testimony are already known to the opposing party or they have already
Case 2:09-cv-00104-LDG-GWF Document 79 Filed 10/14/11 Page 3 of 8
3
Advisory Committee Notes describe [Rule 37(c)(1)] as a ‘self-executing,’
‘automatic’ sanction to ‘provide[] a strong inducement for disclosure of
material….’”). The burden is on the party facing the sanction to demonstrate that
the failure to comply with Rule 26(a) was substantially justified or harmless.
Torres v. City of Los Angeles, 548 F.3d 1197, 1213 (9th Cir. 2008). It is not
necessary that the Court find that the nondisclosure was done willfully or in bad
faith. Hoffman v. Construction Protective Services, Inc., 541 F.3d 1175 (9th Cir.
2008). Courts have upheld the use of the preclusion sanction even when a
litigant’s entire cause of action or defense is effectively precluded. See, e.g., Yeti,
259 F.3d at 1106.
Here, defendant never disclosed the identities of six defense witnesses as
part of a Rule 26 disclosure or supplemental disclosure, or in discovery. Defendant
did not identify these six persons as witnesses until the final drafts of the Joint
Pretrial Order were being completed, when defendant provided the names of his
proposed witnesses, and these six individuals were included on the list. This
despite the fact that at the Rule 26 conference, the parties agreed to make all
required initial disclosures on or before April 27, 2009. (Docket No. 12, p. 2.)
The initial discovery cutoff was September 9, 2009. (Docket No. 13.) Even after
discovery was reopened for three months in late 2010 and early 2011, defendant
did not disclose the identities of these six witnesses. (Docket No. 40.) Defendant
has never provided a supplemental Rule 26 disclosure identifying these witnesses
and providing current contact information. Defendant has never disclosed the
subject areas on which these potential witnesses might testify. Defendant has not
offered to agree to make these witnesses available for deposition during the
been disclosed by other parties. See, e.g., Igbinovia, 2010 U.S. Dist. Lexis 129316
at *13.
Case 2:09-cv-00104-LDG-GWF Document 79 Filed 10/14/11 Page 4 of 8

intervening period between the filing of the Joint Pretrial Order in April 2011 and
the present, and despite the discovery cut-off.
The defendant’s failure to disclose the identities of, and other information
about, these six proposed defense witnesses, other than to list their names in the
Joint Pretrial Order, has prejudiced the Commission in the preparation of its case
for trial. The Commission has been prevented from taking the depositions of these
witnesses, from subpoenaing documents from these witnesses, and from otherwise
investigating the nature of their expected testimony through discovery propounded
on defendant or other witnesses. The Commission does not even know the subject
areas about which defendant will have these witnesses testify, so that the
Commission is effectively precluded from preparing an effective crossexamination
of these witnesses.
Defendant’s failure to make any disclosure of these witnesses, other than to
list their names in the Joint Pretrial Order as defense witnesses, is exactly the type
of conduct and “litigation by surprise” that Rule 37(c)(1) was designed to deter and
prevent. Accordingly, plaintiff requests that the Court issue an order in limine
under Rule 37(c)(1) precluding defendant from calling any of these six witnesses at
trial.
III. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the Court should grant the Commission’s motion
and preclude defendant from calling as witnesses at trial in this action the

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Before the
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Release No. 65584 / October 18, 2011
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING
File No. 3-14592
In the Matter of
Sergey Rumyantsev,
Respondent.
ORDER INSTITUTING
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS PURSUANT TO SECTION 15(b) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, MAKING FINDINGS, AND IMPOSING REMEDIAL SANCTIONS
I.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) deems it appropriate and in the public interest that public administrative proceedings be, and hereby are, instituted pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) against Sergey Rumyantsev (“Rumyantsev” or “Respondent”).
II.
In anticipation of the institution of these proceedings, Respondent has submitted an Offer of Settlement (the “Offer”) which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of these proceedings and any other proceedings brought by or on behalf of the Commission, or to which the Commission is a party, and without admitting or denying the findings herein, except as to the Commission’s jurisdiction over him and the subject matter of these proceedings, and the findings contained in Section III.2 below, which are admitted, Respondent consents to the entry of this Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (“Order”), as set forth below.
2
III.
On the basis of this Order and Respondent’s Offer, the Commission finds that:
1. Rumyantsev was the CEO and head trader at NevWest Securities Corporation (“NevWest”), then a broker-dealer registered with the Commission, from at least January 1, 2002, until April 13, 2006. Rumyantsev was also one of four members of the Board of Directors of NevWest, which had policy-making authority. Rumyantsev holds Series 4 (registered options principal), 7 (general securities representative), 24 (securities principal), 27 (financial and operations principal), 53 (municipal securities principal), 55 (equities trader) and 63 (state securities) licenses. Rumyantsev, 41 years old, is a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada.
2. On August 1, 2011, after the Commission’s motion for summary judgment against Respondent was granted, a final judgment was entered against Rumyantsev, permanently enjoining him from violating Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 77e, and additionally permanently barring him from participating in an offering of penny stock, in the civil action entitled SEC v. CMKM Diamonds, Inc. et al., Case No. 2:08-cv-00437-LRH-RJJ, in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada.
3. In granting the Commission summary judgment, the Court concluded, among other things, that the following facts were uncontroverted: (a) while CEO of NevWest, Rumyantsev allowed NevWest to acquire and distribute newly issued unregistered stock certificates representing billions of shares of stock of CMKM Diamonds, Inc., a Nevada corporation, from which the restrictive legends had been improperly removed by CMKM’s transfer agent; (b) Rumyantsev allowed an individual associated with CMKM to open more than thirty different brokerage accounts at NevWest in more than thirty different names, while using the same social security number for most accounts, for the sole purpose of trading the unrestricted shares of CMKM stock, which were sold in several unregistered distributions between December 2002 and September 2004.
IV.
In view of the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate and in the public interest to impose the sanctions agreed to in Respondent Rumyantsev’s Offer.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED pursuant to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act that Respondent Rumyantsev be, and hereby is:
barred from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization; with the right to apply for reentry after five years to the appropriate self-regulatory organization, or if there is none, to the Commission.
Any reapplication for association by the Respondent will be subject to the applicable laws and regulations governing the reentry process, and reentry may be conditioned upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the satisfaction of any or all of the following: (a) any
3
disgorgement ordered against the Respondent, whether or not the Commission has fully or partially waived payment of such disgorgement; (b) any arbitration award related to the conduct that served as the basis for the Commission order; (c) any self-regulatory organization arbitration award to a customer, whether or not related to the conduct that served as the basis for the Commission order; and (d) any restitution order by a self-regulatory organization, whether or not related to the conduct that served as the basis for the Commission order.
By the Commission.

DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY AFFIRMANCE
AND STAY OF BRIEFING SCHEDULE1
I.
INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to Circuit Rule 3-6, Defendants-Appellees CHRISTOPHER COX,
MARY L. SCHAPIRO, CYNTHIA A. GLASSMAN, PAUL S. ATKINS, ROEL
C. CAMPOS, ANNETTE L. NAZARETH, TROY A. PAREDES, LUIS A.
AGUILAR, ELISSE B. WALTER, and KATHLEEN L. CASEY, all of whom are
current and former Chairmen and/or Commissioners of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred to as “SEC”), hereby move the Court
to summarily affirm the district court’s dismissal of Plaintiffs-Appellants David
Anderson, Nelson L. Reynolds, Sheila Morris, Patrick Cluney, Robert Hollenegg,
Allan Treffry and Reece Hamilton’s (hereinafter referred to as “Appellants”) First
Amended Complaint and to stay the briefing schedule until the motion for
summary affirmance is resolved.
Appellants are shareholders in CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (“CMKM”). The
action arises out of the sale of stock from CMKM to Appellants, the corporation’s
On October 2 1 7, 2011, this Court denied the SEC’s motion for summary
affirmance, without prejudice to renewal following the filing of the opening brief.
Dkt. Entry 15.

subsequent resolution to self-liquidate, and the alleged involvement of the SEC in
that process. Appellants contend that during the liquidation of CMKM’s assets,
the SEC repeatedly delayed distribution of money recovered and held in trust for
Appellants. Appellants’ First Amended Complaint asserts claims for declaratory
judgment and deprivation of their Fifth Amendment rights under the Takings
Clause and Due Process Clause.
On appeal, Appellants argue that the Fifth Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution protects their property interest in receiving distribution of assets that
were allegedly collected upon liquidation of CMKM’s assets, pursuant to Bivens
v. Six Unknown Agents of Fed. Bur. of Narc., 403 U.S. 388, 297 (1971). AOB 2.2
This Court should summarily affirm the district court’s dismissal of the
action for the following reasons: (1) Appellants’ Takings Claim is not cognizable
because they do not have a proprietary interest in the funds sought; Broad v.
Sealaska Corp., 85 F.3d 422, 430 (9th Cir. 1996); (2) Appellants’ Due Process
Claim fails because they have no legitimate claim of entitlement to the funds
[Board of Regents of State Coll. v. Roth, 408 U.S. 564, 577 (1972)] and because
they do not have a property interest in the funds when the SEC retains discretion

number.

to disburse those funds [Erickson v. United States, 67 F.3d 858, 862 (9th Cir.
1995)]; and (3) Appellants’ claims against the SEC Commissioners in their official
capacities are barred by sovereign immunity; Hodge v. Dalton, 107 F.3d 705, 707
(9th Cir. 1997).
Because this appeal is clearly controlled by precedent, this Court should
summarily affirm the district court’s dismissal. See United States v. Hooton, 693
F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir. 1982)(per curiam).
II.
STATEMENT OF FACTS AND CASE
A. Appellants’ Factual Allegations
Appellants owned shares of CMKM stock. (ER 34.)3 In 2005, the SEC
imposed a temporary suspension of trading of CMKM stock based on concerns
over the adequacy of publicly available information, and then brought an
administrative proceeding alleging CMKM had failed to file required reports. (ER
39-40.)
In July 2005, an SEC administrative law judge found the facts to be as
alleged by the SEC in the administrative proceeding. (ER 41-42.) The SEC de-
3 “ER” refers to Appellant’s Excerpts of Record followed by the applicable
page number.

Case: 11-55169 01/03/2012 ID: 8017505 DktEntry: 20-1 Page: 4 of 10 (4 of 11)
Courtesy of Fishes Board
registered the CMKM stock in October 2005. (ER 42.) CMKM then started to
wind up its affairs by selling its assets. (Id.)
Appellants allege that SEC Appellees Glassman, Atkins, Campos and the
United States Department of Justice (with alleged assistance from the Department
of Homeland Security) operated a “sting operation” and used CMKM to “trap[] a
number of widely-disbursed [sic] persons who were believed to be engaged in
naked short selling of CMKM Diamonds Inc. stock.”4 (ER 45-47.) In a settlement
between CMKM and the short sellers, the short sellers allegedly “promised to pay
negotiated amounts to a frozen trust for disbursal [sic] at a later time” in return for
a promise that the United States government would not prosecute them. (ER 48.)
Appellants further allege that money was “collected for the benefit of the
shareholders of CMKM... [and] have been placed in a trust, or are otherwise now
held in trust, by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation [“DTCC”], a
privately-owned clearing house for all secured financial transactions which take
place in the United States, and the United States Treasury, pursuant to a Trust
Agreement on behalf of the shareholders.” (Emphasis added) (ER 49.)
4 The FAC does not define or explain naked short selling, and resolution of
this motion does not require definition of that practice. However, some general
information on naked short selling is available at http://www.sec.gov/ spotlight/
keyregshoissues.htm.

Courtesy of Fishes Board
Appellants further allege that SEC Appellees “held and hold the sole and
absolute discretion to determine when moneys collected pursuant to the scheme
set forth above would and could be released for distribution.” (ER 49-50.)
Appellants allege that “[d]emand for release of said moneys has been repeatedly
presented to [SEC Appellees], and each of them, without result.” (ER 50.)
Appellants contend that the SEC’s repeated failure to distribute money
collected in the trust constitutes a taking of property under the Fifth Amendment
to the United States Constitution. (ER 54-55.) Based on these alleged events,
Appellants assert claims for deprivation of their civil rights against current and
former Chairmen and/or SEC Commissioners, in their individual and official
capacities, under Bivens.
B. Procedural Background
On August 2, 2010, the district court dismissed the original complaint, with
leave to amend, because Appellants failed to identify a viable property interest,
which is a necessary predicate to claims under the Takings Clause and Due
Process Clause.5 (ER 78; Clerk’s Record 15.)
On September 21, 2010, Appellants filed a First Amended Complaint
(“FAC”) for declaratory judgment and deprivation of their Fifth Amendment
5 See, e.g., Broad v. Sealaska Corp., 85 F.3d 422, 430 (9th Cir.
1996)(Takings Clause); Brewster v. Bd. of Educ. of the Lynwood Unified Sch.
Dist., 149 F.3d 971, 982 (9th Cir. 1998)(Due Process Clause).

Case: 11-55169 01/03/2012 ID: 8017505 DktEntry: 20-1 Page: 6 of 10 (6 of 11)

Rights under the Takings Clause and the Due Process Clause. (ER 24.) Pursuant
to the SEC’s motion to dismiss, on December 6, 2010, the district court dismissed
the FAC, with prejudice. (ER 3.)6
III.
ARGUMENT
A. The Court Should Grant Summary Affirmance
Summary affirmance of the district court’s dismissal is appropriate when “it
is clear from the face of the appellant’s pleadings that . . . the appeal is patently
insubstantial or clearly controlled by precedent . . . .” In re Keith, 508 F.3d 1225,
1227 (9th Cir. 2007); See also United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir.
1982) (per curiam).
1. The district court properly dismissed Appellants’ Takings
Claim
As the district court noted, Appellants’ Takings Claim fails because such a
claim is not cognizable under the alleged facts. Broad, 85 F.3d at 430. In Broad,
this Court considered the Takings Claim of a number of shareholders who
challenged the creation of a trust that favored one group of shareholders over
6 In light of the district court’s disposition of the Takings Clause and Due
Process Clause claims, the court did not consider SEC Appellees’ argument that
their conduct was protected by qualified immunity. Saucier v. Katz, 533 U.S. 194,
200 (2001). (ER 3.)
6
Case: 11-55169 01/03/2012 ID: 8017505 DktEntry: 20-1 Page: 7 of 10 (7 of 11)
Courtesy of Fishes Board
another. Id. at 425-426. In rejecting the Takings Claim, this Court noted that,
“almost universally,” Takings Claims involve rights to real property, and plaintiffs
cited no cases suggesting that the Takings Clause applied to their personal
property. Id. at 430. This Court further noted that shareholders did not “directly
own any part of a corporation’s property or assets,” and that shareholders merely
held a “proportionate interest in the corporate equity remaining after a corporation
meets all its other debts and obligations.” Id. Accordingly, this Court concluded
that “the plaintiff shareholders have no proprietary interest that could have been
taken.” Id.
Here, Appellants claim they are entitled to recover their interest in CMKM
stock that was placed in a trust. As in Broad, Appellants do not have a proprietary
interest in the funds that could have been taken under the Takings Clause. Thus,
the district court properly held that Appellants’ Takings Claim fails to state a
claim, and this Court should summarily affirm dismissal of that claim.
2. The district court properly dismissed Appellant’s Due Process
Claim
The district court properly dismissed Appellants’ Due Process Claim as
well. In asserting a procedural Due Process Claim, Appellants must establish:
(1) the deprivation of a constitutionally protected liberty or property interest; and
(2) a denial of adequate procedural protection. Brewster v. Bd. of Educ. of the
7
Case: 11-55169 01/03/2012 ID: 8017505 DktEntry: 20-1 Page: 8 of 10 (8 of 11)
Courtesy of Fishes Board
Lynwood Unified School Dist., 149 F.3d at 982. Property rights are not created by
the Constitution, but are defined by independent sources such as state law,
statutes, ordinances, regulations or express and implied contracts. Board of
Regents of State Coll. v. Roth, 408 U.S. at 577 (“To have a property interest in a
benefit, a person clearly must have more than an abstract need or desire for it. He
must have more than a unilateral expectation of it. He must, instead, have a
legitimate claim of entitlement to it.”).
Indeed, Appellants concede that they have found no case authority
supporting the notion that a shareholder’s property right is Constitutionally
protected. AOB 32-33. Moreover, as the district court stated, Appellants have
asserted nothing more than a “unilateral expectation” of receiving funds but have
not demonstrated a “legitimate claim of entitlement” to such funds. (ER 3.)
Finally, to the extent Appellants claim that the SEC, in its discretion, wrongfully
denied release of the alleged trust funds, such a claim does not lie. An individual
has no property interest in a particular benefit where a government agency retains
discretion to grant or deny the benefit. See, e.g., Erickson v. United States, 67
F.3d 858, 862 (9th Cir. 1995); Greenwood v. FAA, 28 F.3d 971, 976 (9th Cir.
1994); Swanson v. Babbit, 3 F.3d 1348, 1353-54 (9th Cir. 1993).

Courtesy of Fishes Board
Therefore, this Court should summarily affirm the district court’s decision
to dismiss Appellants’ Due Process Claim because they have failed to establish a
legitimate claim of entitlement to, or a property interest in, the funds at issue.
3. The district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction for other
reasons
Appellants asserted claims against the SEC Commissioners in their official
capacities; such claims are barred by sovereign immunity. Hodge v. Dalton, 107
F.3d at 707. Accordingly, there is no jurisdiction over those claims.
B. Request to Stay Briefing
SEC Appellees seek a stay in the briefing schedule until this motion is
decided. Appellants’ brief was filed on December 5, 2011 and SEC Appellees’
answering brief is due January 4, 2012.

Yes, even though CMKM Diamonds (CMKX) has been revoked for so many years, Janice Shell, the phony "fraudbuster", laughably lauded in Forbes as a "cyber-vigilante" (as if vigilantism is a legally-accepted practice), still spends most of her day moderating the IHub "CMKM Diamonds board" there. She and her minions viciously attack any CMKM Diamonds shareholder who posts ANYTHING optimistic. She first contended that no one can short OTC stocks. Then when evidence was presented, she stated only market makers can short OTC. Then when presented links evidencing Timothy Sykes has made a fortune shorting OTC stocks, she then again waffled and said you can't short OTC's under $1. They will boot you if you talk about shorting penny stocks. They viciously attack and slander any shareholder who doesn't fit their agenda.
Janice claims to be a legitimate "volunteer" fraudbuster. Yet, for 8 years (according to her court testimony) she was "friends" with Tony Elgindy (now serving an 11-year sentence for short-and-distort racketeering) through Silicon Investor and knew members of his "club" as she called Anthony@Pacific. Why would a legitimate "volunteer cyber-vigilante" run to the defense of a CONVICTED market felon? And why would one affiliated with a short-and-distort racketeer be "camped out" for years on the Ihub board of a penny stock revoked and no threat to investors for over 5 years now?
On top of that, the infamous naked short shill, Gary Weiss, spent a lot of time in 2011 posting on the RB board (the CMKI board) under the handle "Medchal" (Medchal is a city in India, and Gary's wife is from there... he's written an article or two on the area). Gary, once again, was attacking anyone suggesting anything about naked shorting. Gary was once quoted as saying, "only a fool writes for free". So what was this Columbia School of Journalism graduate and "professional" journalist doing spending so much time, effort and animosity on the obscure board of a pinkie revoked so many years ago.
BTW, Gary's still VERY sore and vindictive about Judd Bagley using his computer savvy to nail down Gary's use of computers within the DTCC to send out pro-naked short selling propaganda. ROFLMAO! Hope to see the main DeepCapture site up and running again soon! Good luck to Patrick Byrne, Mark Mitchell, Judd Bagley and all others who have been instrumental in exposing the naked short sellers and captured journalists trying to cover it up and maintain WS "business as usual". I believe the "Information Highway" leads to a dead end for their usual route to riches. JMHO

To All CMKM Shareholders:
I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas yesterday, with plenty of family time, gifts, and good food! We have much to be thankful for, and the Holidays give many of us time to fellowship, enjoy special memories, and rest (hopefully)!
Since I posted my initial letter to you on December 12, 2011, I have had the privilege of talking with several shareholders by phone or through e-mails. I appreciate the messages of support that many have expressed. I hope to help develop a great sense of unity among all shareholders over time.
The New Year is almost upon us, and with it the many challenges and opportunities we face both individually and as a company come back into focus. CMKM has many ongoing efforts to move the company into a better financial position – that is job #1. If that task can be accomplished, then the dominoes should begin to fall our way for a change.
Let me reiterate that I fully intend to bring a new level of communication and transparency to the shareholders. I hope you will support that effort, and welcome it.
I hope that each of you enjoy the remainder of the holidays to the fullest! Let’s all hope and pray that 2012 is the year that the tide turns for CMKM Diamonds, Inc. I assure you that we will be working diligently on your behalf to make that happen. Happy New Year, and God bless!
Steve Kirkpatrick
December 12, 2011
To All CMKM Shareholders:
It is with a tremendous amount of excitement that I introduce myself to you, the shareholders of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. My name is Steve Kirkpatrick, and I am thankful and proud to serve you as the new President and Chairman of the Board of CMKM. I, too, am a shareholder of CMKM, and it is my strong desire to bring to you a well-deserved return on your investment in this company.
I want to express a heartfelt “thank you” to Mr. Jim Lowden, Mr. Kevin West, and Mr. Bill Frizzell for the diligent efforts these men have made to move the company forward under difficult circumstances. These are men of integrity, and I can assure you that, without each one of their contributions, it is doubtful that CMKM would have survived to this point. They all have been instrumental in helping me get “up to speed” with the many details involved in this transition. They are truly “unsung heroes” in ways that may come to light in the days ahead.
I do not personally know any of the former Board members, but want to thank them for their time of service to CMKM. I wish them well with their future endeavors.
Please allow me to address some of the issues that may be on your minds:
COMMUNICATION FROM MANAGEMENT
I will make a diligent effort to keep the shareholders informed and updated on a regular basis from this day forward. I will use the company website for written updates. However, I believe the shareholders want and deserve a forum that will allow you to ask legitimate questions, and get answers. Over the next few days, I will make contact with one or two of the Pal Talk rooms in an effort to set up a live forum for me to talk with shareholders. I hope to have the session recorded so that shareholders will be able to listen at a later date. If this medium proves to be effective, perhaps it can be used on a regular basis as important events occur.
As company finances improve, I will host webinar events online that will be recorded and archived on the company website. Also, I have had calls from owners/moderators of various boards offering communication options. I will research these opportunities as well.
Please be aware that I do not and never have posted on any of the “boards”.
It is important for shareholders to understand that I will not have the answers to every question. Public discussion of certain topics could compromise our position with regard to ongoing litigation or collection efforts. Some topics serve no value in moving the company forward. I will, however, provide honest feedback on subjects that are open to discussion.
SHAREHOLDER MEETING PLANS
As has been stated before by CMKM management, the only reason that a shareholder meeting has not been planned or held is the sheer lack of the funds needed to host such a meeting. I hope to provide enough feedback to the shareholders to fill the “void” until such time that funds to hold a meeting are available.
NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS
As you know, all previous Board members have resigned. I am in the process of assembling a group to sit on the Board of CMKM. Unfortunately, in order to get quality professionals to sit on a corporate board, the company needs to be able to cover the Board with liability insurance. Many of the people I have in mind for the Board have significant assets, and will not join the Board without the insurance coverage. The Board will be selected, and will be on “standby” until the funds are available to insure them.
I have discussed the Board positions with several highly qualified individuals, and have commitments from two so far. I want a diverse group with the business and life experience to truly help me move this company forward. I will keep you informed on this process.
AL HODGES AND THE BIVENS LAWSUIT
I spoke with Mr. Al Hodges recently. I assured Mr. Hodges that I would help any way possible if he needs anything from company management to move his case forward. However, the Hodges case is a totally separate issue from the operation of CMKM Diamonds, Inc.
I believe Al Hodges is an honorable man and a very good attorney. From what I can gather, he has put his entire law practice and professional reputation on the line for this lawsuit. I am convinced Mr. Hodges truly believes he will prevail. I wish him the best.
However, the position of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. is neutral with regard to the Hodges effort. I can assure you that company management has no “inside” information to share.
COMPANY HEADQUARTERS
The company headquarters will be moved from Tyler, Texas in the near future. When the relocation is complete, I will update you with all the facts.
2010 TAX RETURN
As you have seen, the 2010 tax return has been released on the company website for your review. I am sure many of you have questions about the return. I will discuss the return with our accounting firm, and will be as prepared as possible to answer questions during the first Pal Talk session.
If you are not familiar with how to “read” a corporate tax return, then you may become confused or make incorrect judgments about the “numbers”. I hope each shareholder will get the real facts before making incorrect assumptions.
SHORT-TERM PLANS
There is much work to be done. However, a quick look at the 2010 tax return will help you understand my most pressing priority. The company has assets, but no operating cash at the present time. We have significant liabilities that need to be paid soon. The task of converting real estate assets into cash is underway. I was in Clayton, Georgia on Friday, 12/9/11 interviewing agents to list and sell the land we own there. I hope to sell the land rapidly for enough cash to pay all current liabilities in full.
There are several parcels of land that can be acquired through judgments – it will take time to convert those to cash. We have many millions of dollars judgments in favor of CMKM against several individuals, but many, if not most of those judgments are uncollectable.
There are other potential sources of cash on the horizon, but to discuss them in this forum could compromise our position and ability to collect funds.
LONG TERM GOALS
The following list outlines goals I hope to accomplish over the next two or three years:
1. Test 1010 core samples.
2. Return CMKX stock to trading status.
3. Form “New Corp” to work or sell off 1010 claims, giving CMKM shareholders a pro-rata stake in the “New Corp”.
4. Ultimately, provide a good and well-deserved return on investment to all bona-fide CMKM shareholders.
These goals are realistic and attainable, but not guaranteed.
SUMMARY
As I stated in my opening paragraph, I am truly excited about the potential CMKM holds. I believe in the potential enough to spend my time and energy without cash compensation at this time. I know what needs to be done, and I know how to do what needs to be done. However, I am not a “miracle worker”. I will put the work into the company that is necessary, but the company needs some good things to happen for a change.
The negative verdict in the Glenn case was a major setback for CMKM. We had a very good case, but, as we have seen in recent years – a good case doesn’t always insure a positive verdict in court.
What we have as CMKM shareholders is a company that has been damaged severely by many illegal activities in years past, but is still alive and has a good chance of becoming a profitable venture.
There are many misconceptions about CMKM due to its past history. However, let me assure each of you that I know of no conspiracies, mystery “money men”, or anything else of that nature. I hope to address these issues in more detail in the near future.
We have a much better chance for success if we are unified as shareholders. I ask for your support, and if you believe in prayer – pray for this company and for me as I lead the effort. I assure you that I will conduct business honorably and diligently. I look forward to working on your behalf in the days ahead.
God bless!
Steve Kirkpatrick
Shareholder update 12.9.2011
To all CMKM shareholders,
The management team of CMKM has changed. The company’s statement earlier this year read as follows:
“The goal of this management is to build a company one step at a time. It is of the opinion of the company that a round table team of shareholders be assembled with approximately 7 individuals. These individuals will assist the company in their past knowledge and their ideas moving forward. It is important that these individuals have a good standing with our shareholders”
Please be advised that the company received several responses to the quest for the round table group and for the CEO position.
October 31, 2011 Tom Stevenson and Stan Polsom resigned their positions as Directors of the Company leaving Roger Summers as the sole remaining Director.
November 17, 2011, Mr. Summers signed a resolution to bring new management onboard to bring in a fresh new perspective.
November 18, 2011 Mr. Steve Kirkpatrick accepted the position as the new President and Chairman of the Board. Please join the Company in welcoming Mr. Steve Kirkpatrick. Mr. Kirkpatrick was one of the people who applied for the position of CEO earlier this year and brings with him a wealth of business contacts and experience that he will utilize in moving the Company forward.
December 6, 2011, Mr. Summers tendered his resignation as a Director of CMKM.
The Company would like to sincerely thank Mr. Tom Stevenson; Mr. Stan Polsom, and Mr. Roger Summers who unselfishly and freely gave of their time to CMKM. It is because of these Men and the Company’s management that CMKM is prepared to move forward.
The Shareholders of CMKM Diamonds will be happy to know that Mr. Kirkpatrick is motivated to continue the growth of the company, the communication between company and shareholders will be better than it has ever been using the new technologies and social media.
Mr. Kirkpatrick will be personally addressing the shareholders through an update on this website by early next week.

Hodges and Associates - 12/31/11
My associate Dennis Smith recently advised that I would have some information for all on this date. Let me start by conveying to all my very best wishes for a happy and joyous holiday season. The coming year will, IMHO, bring life-changing conclusion to this extremely arduous journey we have been forced to endure.
Although you may not be happy with what has been going on, I can assure you that there was simply no other way to accomplish what will become the new foundation of this great country, and establish the agenda for its rebirth in form and fashion as originally set forth in the US Constitution. As I have previously stated, we have confronted, with added pressure from the “lien-holders,” the vilest, most contemptible, well financed forces for evil on the planet – and we have won! I know, some eleven months later, that must seem to have been an idle boast. However, it merely reflects the mighty struggle that has been raging in the shadows.
While I had hoped to be able to advise you this afternoon that we had finally achieved Economic Receipt, which in turn would authorize release and delivery of the CMKM pay-outs, I cannot do so at this moment. Having said that, please remember my prior advice regarding the Iraqi Dinar re-valuation, which has been much anticipated and discussed. Funding of the IQD re-val is part of the World Global Settlement scheme; and release of the re-val will essentially be coincident with release and distribution of all WGS program pay-outs. I am very pleased to be able to report that not only is Iraq now a sovereign country, but will have an internationally recognized and tradable currency by January 1, 2012. This indicates to me that distribution of the CMKM pay-outs is truly imminent – with-in hours/days.
Again, I wish each of you happiness and joy at this seasonal juncture. Please keep in mind that most of this information is not “legal” by definition, not directly related to our Federal Court action and certainly not something I originally ‘signed on’ to accomplish. In the event that additional delays are encountered, I believe they will be de minimus in both time and substance. We have in fact won the war and proof of that is forthcoming.
I ask that you read and consider carefully the entire contents of this letter, prior to adding your own interpretations, prognostications and conclusions hereon, or any similar interpretations, prognostications or conclusions offered to you by others. Accordingly, and please note that the following is repetitious, and is meant to be: I am very pleased to be able to report that not only is Iraq now a sovereign country, but will have an internationally recognized and tradable currency by January 1, 2012. This indicates to me that distribution of the CMKM pay-outs is truly imminent - within hours/days.
Sincerely,

The SEC Appears to Be Colluding with the Management of CMKM Diamonds, Inc.
The pa rticipation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in political cronyism and crony capitalism and its practice of covering up for its indisputable gross negligence and seeming criminal complicity (hereinafter collectively referred to as "business as usual") creates an environment in which perpetrators are able to perpetrate their wrongdoing with impunity.
Pertaining to CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (CMKM), business as usual of the SEC and its SEC Enforcement Division Attorneys, John M. McCoy, Molly M. White, and Leslie Hakala (hereinafter collectively referred to as "malfeasant SEC Attorneys"), allows Kevin West, off-and-on COB/CEO/President of CMKM Diamonds, Inc., (CMKM) , Mark Faulk, former CEO/President of CMKM, all other subsequent illegally-appointed officers of CMKM, and Bill Frizzell , current attorney for CMKM (hereinafter collectively referred to as "CMKM management") to operate CMKM without calling an annual shareholder meeting. By failing to call an annual shareholder meeting, the CMKM management breaches CMKM's bylaws, violates Texas Business Corporation Act, Article 2.24(B), and therefore is liable for mismanagement (hereinafter collectively referred to as "wrongdoing").
Even if CMKM management's wrongdoing does not fall within the purview of the SEC and its malfeasant SEC Attorneys, they are still conducting business as usual for failing to refer CMKM management's wrongdoing to the appropriate governmental enforcement agencies.
What is even more disturbing is that the business as usual of the SEC and its malfeasant SEC Attorneys indicates they are colluding with the CMKM management by agreeing not to file a complaint against it for its wrongdoing.
Thus, the CMKM management is now able to illegally operate CMKM without calling an annual shareholder meeting, which includes, but is not limited to, pursuing the following expedient goals: filing complaints against the previous CMKM management for the pump and dump fraud it perpetrated against CMKM investors, appointing their cronies as officers of CMKM, obtaining default judgments (potentially tens of millions of dollars), hopefully collecting on those default judgments, and ultimately splitting Bill Frizzell's contingency fees if those default judgments are collectible (potentially tens of millions of dollars).
In return, the CMKM management agrees not to expose the business as usual of the SEC and its malfeasant SEC Attorneys pertaining to the illegal naked short selling of CMKM's stock and numerous other issues.
Read my articles on OpEdNews -- "The SEC Learned Nothing from Madoff -- Check Out CMKM Diamonds, Inc., for Proof" and "Can the Office of the Inspector General Be Trusted to Perform its Mandated Duties and Hold the SEC Accountable?" -- for the gamut of the business as usual of the SEC and its malfeasant employees.
The following flip-flop of the CMKM management pertaining to the illegal naked short selling of CMKM's stock points toward said collusion:
Before being appointed or hired to their respective positions with CMKM, the CMKM management advocates stock market reform in general and questions the business as usual of the SEC and its malfeasant SEC Attorneys in particular regarding the illegal naked short selling of CMKM's stock.
Excerpts from three of Bill Frizzell's emails:
"I can confirm that actions are contemplated which will identify the naked short position which may exist."
"We proved a huge naked short position in this company a long time ago."
"Our investigation reveals a potentially huge naked short position in at least two of the very companies that have sent us certs."
In his 1-6-06 SEC Deposition, Bill Frizzell testifies repeatedly under oath that CMKM was illegally naked shorted, pages 123, 149-151, 155, 164, and 167;
In his 6-1-06 article, "The CMKX Story: When Too Much Isn't Enough," Mark Faulk points out that brokerages give phony excuses for their failing to deliver stock certificates to CMKM shareholders.
After being illegally appointed or illegally hired to their respective positions with CMKM , the CMKM management flip-flops its position pertaining to the illegal naked short selling of CMKM's stock as evidenced by the following:
In FAQ Session #s 1-4, 6, and 13-14 (8-10-07 to 6-1-08), the CMKM management pronounces that CMKM's being illegally naked shorted is no longer a primary concern; and furthermore, they cover up the illegal status of CMKM's naked short sales which denotes fraud, RICO, and punitive damages and replace it with the legal status of failures to deliver which merely denotes bookkeeping errors and the mere recovering of one's investment.
Mark Faulk constantly disrespects and belittles CMKM shareholders on his show, "The Faulking Truth Show," on Toginet when they broach the subject of their being victimized by the illegal naked short selling of CMKM's stock.
Because the flip-flop is so transparent, many CMKM shareholders are able to interpret it to mean that the CMKM management is colluding with the SEC and its malfeasant SEC Attorneys as evidenced by the following posts of CMKM shareholders in CMKM forums:
"It appears that the Tyler gang has been bought off...... could that be the case, Kevin?
"It is clear that you have signed some sort of settlement agreement in which you promised not to sue the bankers and brokers""
"So Mssrs Faulk, West, and Frizzell, you will all be guilty of criminal negligence if you do not get shareholders the compensation they deserve, for being victimized by the largest naked short in the history of Wall Street."
"Kevin, Mark" if you two turned to the darkside, we will be united in the things we do to the 2 of you....think you can't sleep at night now think about the nights after the truth comes out......"
In response to the business as usual of the SEC and its malfeasant SEC Attorneys, I file the following complaints with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) against the SEC and its malfeasant employees:
On 9-1-11, I file Complaint, Report #115612564 against the SEC and a malfeasant employee for their stonewalling my SEC Complaint, Case Number HO102219.
On 11-15-11, the OIG confirms that it has opened a preliminary inquiry into possible SEC staff misconduct pertaining to Complaint, Report #115612564.
On 9-2-11, I file Complaint, Report #115613986 against SEC and the SEC malfeasant Attorneys for their failure to comply with the demands listed in my 8-18-11 Petition Letter that I start on Change.org.
On 9-19-11, the OIG confirms that it has opened a preliminary inquiry into possible SEC staff misconduct pertaining to Complaint, Report #115613986.
On 1-5-12, I file with the OIG, Complaint, Report #116066995, against the SEC and its malfeasant SEC Attorneys for their supra business as usual .
As of the date I submit this article, the OIG has not yet confirmed that it has opened a preliminary inquiry into possible SEC staff misconduct pertaining to Complaint, Report # 116066995.
Because CMKM shareholders are fed up with the business as usual of the SEC and its malfeasant SEC Attorneys, seven CMKM shareholders take matters into their own hands on 12-14-11 and file a Petition for Shareholder Meeting and Order for Inspection of Corporate Records, Cause No. 11-3417-A, against the CMKM management in the District Court of Smith County, Texas, 7th Judicial District, for its failure to call an annual shareholder meeting and for its failure to investigate a trust fund that has allegedly been set aside for CMKM shareholders; and then on 12-19-11, they file a Motion for Summary Judgment against the CMKM management.
My articles on OpEdNews point toward a disturbing truism: The SEC is not a solution to the problem -- the SEC is the problem.
Now it is up to the OIG to hold the SEC and its malfeasant employees accountable for their business as usual.

Letter To OIG
20 December 2011, 5:19 pm
Posted by: klonopin2mg:
not sure where to post this, but it deserves recognition and your consideration. i personally back this effort, which is rare for me. doesn’t take long to write the oig, my thanks to dave:
Mr. Raphael Kozolchyk
Inquiry Specialist
Office of the Inspector General
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Ph 202.551.6061 | OIG@sec.gov
Dear Mr. Kozolchyk,
Here is a list of what the sec allowed to happen after they subpoenaed the fraud records they used in their civil actions against insiders of cmkx. The sec had the full evidence they used in their actions and in the doj indictments, then allowed joint ventures to take place in other publicly traded companies, allowed massive fraud to continue, allowed all shareholders money to be stolen, allowed fraudulent agreements to be made to promote the fraud, allowed the corrupt cmkx management to continue to promote the fraud through its racing team, and allowed all other brokers to conceal their crimes and launder their proceeds from those crimes.
This history is an indictment of the sec more than anything else, we expect your office to do its legal duty and stop the continued victimization of the shareholders in cmkx and take action against those in the sec that allowed this to take place:
THIS IS FROM THE LAS VEGAS JOURNAL REVIEW IN FEB. 2005 RIGHT AFTER THE SUBPOENAS WERE SERVED TO THE SILVER STATE BANK, IT WASN’T EVEN A SECRET URBAN COMMITTED MASSIVE FRAUD AND BOB MAHEU SAID HE HAD A KIND OF PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GOVERNMENT WHILE WORKING WITH URBAN CASAVANT KNOWING THIS EVIDENCE. BUT THEY WERE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO RUN THIS COMPANY AND STEAL TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND SELL HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF SHARES ILLEGALLY, ALTHOUGH PHONED INTO THE SEC EACH TIME. 64 MILLION DOLLARS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE JUDGMENT WAS FOR THE DEFENDANTS IN THE SEC’S CASE AGAINST CMKX INSIDERS. FROM FEB. 2005 LAS VEGAS JOURNAL REVIEW:
“More recently, the company announced that former Howard Hughes aide Robert Maheu had become a member of its board of directors. A nationally recognized authority on security issues, Maheu has credibility in many circles.”
“I became interested in CMKM recently, and it appears I’m not alone. The Securities and Exchange Commission is downright fascinated with CMKM and has begun to probe the company’s numerous Southern Nevada business transactions.
The SEC has subpoenaed bank records related to CMKM’s local transactions, an institutional source confirms. The company maintained nearly 100 accounts at a local branch of Silver State Bank alone. A bank employee who handled CMKM’s accounts is no longer employed after suspicious activity involving a continuing circle of cashier’s checks was uncovered.
By one informed estimate, CMKM is suspected of moving up to $64 million through its Silver State accounts.”
http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2005/Feb-08-Tue-2005/news/25821561.html
THIS IS FROM MARK FAULK SHOWING THE SEC HAD THE FRAUD RECORDS BEFORE OK’ING THE SALE OF HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF SHARES ILLEGALLY. IT ALSO SHOWS THAT THE SILVER STATE BANK SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH AIDING AND ABETTING MONEY LAUNDERING AS THEY ALLOWED THE FRAUD TO CONTINUE LONG AFTER IT WAS KNOWN:
Silver State Bank has not been charged in the CMKM Diamonds case, although they did fire an employee named Patricia DeCosta, who approved most of the transactions.
That on or about the 5th day of September 2004 the bank was served with a subpoena with regard to accounts maintained at the branch plaintiff supervised. Certain executives of defendants (Silver State Bancorp, Silver State Bank) owned stock in companies controlled by the subject of the subpoena and became disconcerted when the bank was served with the aforementioned subpoena.
Seeking a scapegoat the bank terminated plaintiff claiming she had not processed a suspicious activity report in a timely manner. Plaintiff was unable to timely process the SAR due to the fact that she was undergoing a ‘serious health condition’, which required her to take leave from her employment.”
The fact remains that Silver State Bank never filed a single Suspicious Activities Report (SARS) while 50,000 CMKX shareholders lost their entire investments.

Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick, Mr. Woerner, and Mr. Kotz
I represent a group of shareholders who have exercised our rights to inspect the company documents. I am part of a group who assumes that CMKX was a vehicle in a sting operation, at least at a certain point. The operation cleary started when David Liston, Assistant D/A for Manhattan, signed the form 15 to allow CMKX to not report. In a press release while Robert Maheu was co-chairman of CMKX, the company said that it was the SEC who felt it was in the best interest of shareholders to not report. Leslie Hakala was handed clear cut evidence of broker fraud by Bll Frizzell in their 2005 meeting, she either covered up that fraud with Mr. Frizzell to this day or the brokers paid into the trust fund as outlined in Al Hodges bivens case. The company has the records that either prove Mr. Hodges case is a hoax or it is real, they fully support Al Hodges, so shareholders can assume the cert pull proved the exact totals of counterfeit shares sold by each brokers, and they paid into a trust fund to avoid criminal prosecution. If that is not the case, Bill Frizzell has aided the fraud, the company management have been negligent by not doing their fiduciary duty and stopping the fraud when they were made aware of it, the company concealed the fraud by everyone else but corrupt insiders of CMKX, and the company did not force the SEC and DOJ to do their mandated duties and protect the shareholders of CMKX.
It is not acceptable for the shareholders to not have one relevant question answered almost six years after the largest cert pull in history proved exactly who committed crimes against the shareholders of CMKX. It is not acceptable for the company to conceal all evidence of the fraud that happened while you do nothing with the evidence you have six years later. It is not acceptable for the company to say Urban Casavant was a mastermind of this fraud and have his accomplice hold our claims we have left. It is not acceptable that no action was taken against the SEC, DOJ, all other brokers who naked shorted CMKX stock, the OIG office of the SEC when they have all breached their mandated duties in this case. It is not unacceptable the shareholders don't know what records Bill Frizzell had in is possession from the SEC while he worked with Urban Casavant. It is unacceptable that easily obtained evidence was not used in your cases against company insiders and Roger Glenn. It is unacceptable that the company is fully aware that the Silver State Bank records were fully known to all CMKX management in early 2005, but they all lied about not being made aware that there was fraud occurring by CMKX management while Roger Glenn, Robert Maheu, Donald Stoecklein, Bill Frizzell all worked and promoted CMKX. It is unacceptable that six hundred billion shares traded after the SEC and DOJ subpoenaed the fraud records which were used in the DOJ's indictments and SEC's civil actions, by law they had the duty to halt CMKX and stop the fraud and protect the investors, they did the opposite while Bill Frizzell worked with them having access to the SEC file and SEC confidential banking records.
I could list at least a hundred more examples of how our company has breached their fiduciary duty to the shareholders of CMKX. Cleary the brokers sold hundreds of billions of counterfeit shares of CMKX stock, that is not even in question. Clearly they were identified in the cert pull done by Bill Frizzell, among others. Bill Frizzell, after he had access to the Silver State Bank records, stated the shareholders he worked for were handed a silver platter of the largest proven naked short in history, plus the goods in Saskatchewan. The cert pull he worked on would have proven that statement to be true or false, he never said it was false in June 2006 when the cert pull ended, and if the cert pull proved he was wrong he had the duty to his clients to tell them immediately then. The cert pull proved he was correct, but has been hidden for five and a half years while the company pretended they didn't have those results.
Enough is enough Mr. Kirkpatrick. The shareholders have the right to the following questions, which will be sent to the OIG and to William Woerner of the Nevada FBI as well as it is their duty to answer these questions as well. Both have had mountains of evidence entered to them of the fraud that has taken place in CMKX outside the corrupt insiders of of the company. Evidence was entered to the Victims' Rights Office of the DOJ, to the OIG of the SEC, to the Los Angeles DOJ, to our own company. Not one entity, including our company has answered one tough question, as if they did it would prove you all knew of the CMKX sting operation ,or it would prove that you all committed fraud against the shareholders of CMKX, either way you have all breached your legal duty to the shareholders of CMKX.
List of question you all refuse to answer, but all have the legal duty to answer:
1. What SEC confidential records did Bill Frizzell and CMKX management possess while working with Urban Casavant and promoting CMKX stock?
2. The DOJ and SEC subpoenaed the fraud records used in their actions in 2004, it was their duty to halt CMKX and protect the investors, so why did they allow the fraud to continue for an extra year? This allowed the insiders to launder their proceeds from their crimes, and allowed a further six hundred billion shares to trade in CMKX with all that proceeds being stolen by brokers on Wall Street.
3. Hundreds of billions of shares were traded by brokers other than NevWest Securities, why were those crimes covered up? Those brokers were warned in early 2005 that they were selling illegal shares, why did the SEC and Bill Frizzell and company management allow six hundred billion shares to trade after the fraud was already detected? Where is that money?
4. What action did Bill Frizzell or any CMKX management take against the DOJ, SEC, or OIG of the SEC for failing to protect the shareholders of CMKX?
5. When Bill Frizzell handed Leslie Hakala the fraud evidence in CMKX she had already subpoenaed the fraud records months before that, and was fully aware of the other brokers selling illegal shares in CMKX, so the cd Bill Frizzell handed here just proved what she already knew. Why did Bill Frizzell and other CMKX management not take action against Leslie Hakala for the fraud she covered up? Why did you not subpoena the phone records between Roger Glenn and leslie Hakala when Andrew Hill claimed they colluded together? Why did not one authority or our company question Mr. Hill?
6. Why is CMKX in a partnership with Urban Casavant's accomplice Emerson Koch, why was no action taken against him. Why was no action taken against CMKX management that allowed six hundred billion shares to trade after they were fully aware of the fraud that happened, the fraud was even in public news stories in Feb 2005?
7. The management of CMKX and Bill Frizzell had access to the SEC file in 2005, was the Silver State Bank fraud records in that file? If not the SEC had the duty to inform CMKX management they knew fraud had taken place in the company for years. Lawyers for defendants in the indictments by the Nevada DOJ have stated that the evidence held at the Foley Building in Nevada contains new evidence, about thirty percent new evidence, why was evidence held back from them when these records were held in Los Angeles? Was the company given access to this new evidence or did they always have access to all of their own company's records?
8. Has the OIG or the DOJ questioned Mr. Hodges? The company had the legal duty to investigate Mr. Hodges claims and subpoena a deposition from him to have him provide the information he has hidden from the company and its shareholders, they didn't. A group of shareholders had to and Mr. Hodges hid from the serving of this subpoena, forcing that group to have to file a complaint against Mr. Hodges with the CA Bar Association. All of these entities breached their legal duties in not demanding to see the evidence Mr. Hodges says he has possession of and breached their legal duty in not forcing Mr. Hodges to give the name of the person who was present when deals were cut with the DOJ and the brokers who committed massive rico fraud in this case. If the authorities did their legal duty the victims would have been compensated years ago.
In conclusion, the DOJ, SEC, and our company have had more than enough time to answer all the questions entered to them, and they have colluded to hide the facts in this case. It is clear that is either to hide their own culpability, or to hide the fact this was a sting operation. In either case, all shareholders of CMKX have had their rights violated for years by all. We expect immediate answers to the questions above and are taking legal action to obtain all of this evidence to finally after six years find out the truth. If Mr. Hodges was lying the company and the authorities know, they all have the obligation to stop his case if it is baseless. It has run for two years, with thirty promises that the money held by the authorities so the brokers could hide their rico fraud from the public would finally be released. In a complaint sent to William Woerner of the Nevada FBI shareholders asked Mr. Woerner to corroborate with Mr. Hodges the facts in this case, six months later we have no answers. The OIG clearly is stonewalling the investigation into CMKX and refuse to corroborate Mr. Hodges information. And our company has lied to the shareholders since Bill Frizzell signed non disclosure agreements with these agencies, Robert Maheu, and Urban Casavant in early 2005. There needs to be an independent party step in on behalf of the victims in this case, as they clearly have not had any representation for years. On behalf of all CMKX shareholders who are tired of being lied to, we expect immediate answers to the questions listed above and a resolution to this matter so our rights can finally stop being violated.
Thank you,
bona fide shareholder of CMKX

Subject: File No. S7-08-08 From: al ho Affiliation: Injured Shareholder of NSS
March 24, 2008
Mr. Cox, you may like reading this: CMKX Shareholders Coalition for Market Reform unites against systemic problem create market wide awareness
On 31May2006, Mr. Bill Frizzell, a member of the CMKM Task Force and CMKM Diamonds shareholder attorney, submitted an extensive letter of complaint to the NASD Investor Complaint Center. Coupled with 10 stated complaints, and additional pages available, this letter specifically called for an investigation of brokerage conduct involving an upcoming CMKM distribution. Prior to revocation, CMKM Diamonds Inc. traded on the Pink Sheets with ticker symbol CMKX.
According to the latest CMKM Task Force shareholder count, there are currently over 38,900 CMKX shareholders worldwide of whom this ordeal has affected. With a united front of this size, great responsibility is carried in moving forward against the evils that continue to erode confidence in our securities markets, as apparent in Mr. Bill Frizzell?s letter of complaint. Beyond CMKX, this complaint should elicit sentiments of deep, market wide concern amongst all shareholders participating daily in market activities.
We, the CMKX Shareholders Coalition for Market Reform, are justifiably concerned that naked short selling, the electronic counterfeiting of securities, has became a menace of epidemic proportions, plaguing many viable developmental stage companies, as well as larger, prominent corporations. This behavior may have played a role in the current delay of all CMKM Diamond's shareholders obtaining physical possession of their stock certificates.
Mr. Frizzell's letter of Complaint to the NASD can be found on the CMKM Task Force website:
Re: Request for Investigation of Brokerage Conduct Involving CMKM Distribution http://www.cmkmtaskforce.com/nasdcomplaint.php
"Due to the indisputable evidence of large numbers of failed deliveries in this stock...."
"The most alarming problems are represented by those shareholders who have been requesting certs from their brokers since the company?s first announcement of a distribution seven months ago. Here is a sampling of excuses being given to shareholders as reasons for their inability to obtain a cert:
1. We had your cert, but it is now lost. It will take us another 6 to 8 weeks to obtain another one.
2. This stock purchase was a book entry only and no certificate is available.
3. Your stock was classified as a worthless security and is no longer in your account.
4. Our clearing firm has not been able to deliver these certificates due to a backlog of requests at the transfer agency.
5. I have been instructed we are no longer pulling certs for CMKM and there is nothing I can do. You need to contact the company.
6. CMKM Diamonds has a K code next to it, indicating that it is being held in safekeeping for the client. The clearing agent has made the decision not to issue certs but rather fax a copy of the certs it holds to the transfer agent.
7. Attached herewith is evidence of ownership of shares held electronically by XYZ clearing for ABC broker. ABC to confirm receipt of this proof of shares of CMKM and related companies are held with XYZ.
8. In light of the lack of cooperation (by the transfer agent), your May 15th, 2006 deadline must be bogus and must be extended, and Entourage shares could of course still be sent to ABC for the benefit of XYZ.
9. MNO said they had discussed with the Task Force the acceptability of the affidavit as proof of ownership in lieu of the certificate, and that it would be accepted. No such conversation ever occurred with the Task Force members.
10. We ordered your certificate, and it has been lost. You must now fill out a loss certificate. The transfer agent confirms that no certificate was ever issued.
Each quoted statement above is taken verbatim from a shareholders letter or from a broker's written response to a shareholder's request for a cert. I could continue with pages and pages of documented incidences of these broker responses to the requests of the shareholders if such is necessary to establish the need for a full investigation."
Nevada law NRS 78.235 mandates that each shareholder has the right to request and receive certificates of ownership from the company for their stock. Specifically, the statute states "....Every stockholder is entitled to have a certificate, signed by officers or agents designated by the corporation for the purpose, certifying the number of shares owned by him in the corporation."
To the Attorney General of the State of Nevada, regulatory officials, and Congressional Representatives, it is respectfully requested:
"This law has been broken and some seven months later, the people/shareholders of CMKX request that the necessary steps be taken to enforce this law."
Further, the impact of naked short selling (electronic stock counterfeiting), has had negative and far reaching effects on many companies, in which shares are being traded daily. The mounting indications of manipulative shorting and massive failures to deliver (electronic stock counterfeiting) associated within the fails statistics and confidential records held by the clearance corporations, leaves more questions than answers in regards to the enormity of this problem.
"Compliance with Regulation SHO began on January 3, 2005. Regulation SHO was adopted to update short sale regulation in light of numerous market developments since short sale regulation was first adopted in 1938.
Regulation SHO requires the SROs to disseminate a daily list of threshold securities where such SRO, or its market center, is the primary listing venue for any such security.
Currently, threshold lists include the name and ticker symbol of securities that meet the threshold level on a particular settlement date. Some investors have requested that the SROs provide more detailed information for each threshold security, including the total number of fails, the total short interest position, the name of the broker-dealer firm responsible for the fails, and the names of the customers of responsible brokers and dealers responsible for the short sales. The fails statistics of individual firms and customers is proprietary information and may reflect firms' trading strategies. The release of this information could be used to engage in unlawful upward manipulation of the price of the securities in order to "squeeze" the firms improperly."

However, considering the above information, the confidentiality and anonymity privileges enjoyed by these firms is at the expense of the victimized companies in question and their investors.
Starting with an increased awareness of this issue now is the time to act and let our collective voices be heard. While the CMKX shareholder base, of over 38,900+ shareholders worldwide, provides a formidable force to be reckoned with, the appeal of this complaint should capture the attention of all those who participate in a market that all investors should be able to place a great degree of faith and confidence into. Concerns over this issue have been expressed by many companies, beyond CMKX, and are deserving of our collective action.
This press release is meant to serve as a global rallying call for all shareholders, and companies, who have been affected by this issue. The systemic nature of this problem cannot be denied and all efforts will be taken to expose it.
The CMKX Shareholders Coalition for Market Reform is a non-partisan group and is dedicated to creating market wide awareness in regards to the systemic problem of stock manipulation. It is not affiliated, in any way, with the CMKX Owner's Group or the CMKM Task Force.

Dear Mr. Kozolchyk,
I appreciate you getting back to me, and we will go ahead and file the foia request. I look forward to the truth coming out, unless of course the foia department continues to stonewall this investigation as is the rest of the sec. It should be the legal duty of your office to answer our questions we have entered to you for almost a decade now it seems. This fraud was detected by the sec over seven years ago. In that time the sec allowed the fraud to continue and cover up the facts to this day. On behalf of the shareholders of cmkx I request your office answer our questions publicly. Tell the shareholders the reason your office has not stated on the record why the sec okayed all the share trades of the masterminds of this fraud, after they had supboenaed the records of that fraud. Your office has not answered why the sec was allowed to publicly make it look like the only criminals who sold illegal shares in cmkx were insiders, when more shares were sold by other brokers. Your office didn't answer why the sec was allowed to cover up that massive crime and all wall street brokers who committed it. I assume the cover up will continue and there will be no answers to those questions. I have included comments regarding the meeting that took place in May 2005 between Leslie Hakala and our company, including Bill Frizzell. In that meeting Leslie was handed absolute proof of massive naked shorting by many wall street brokers. Was it not Leslie's legal duty to have stopped the fraud then and protected the shareholders. She didn't, she covered up all the brokers crimes, allowed the brokers to continue selling illegal shares and steal the money, allowed cmkx management to continue committing fraud and launder the money. She allowed valuable propety held by cmkx to be lost. She allowed corrupt cmkx management to enter into joint ventures with other publicly traded companies. She was in contact with Roger Glenn, then the oig whitewashed the investigation into him. Maybe you can see the frustration of the cmkx shareholders who your office continues to victimize by your lack of action, that lack of action breaches your fudiciary duty I believe. Leslie Hakala had the legal duty to stop the fraud in cmkx and protect the investors, she did the opposite. Your office has the legal duty to investigate her actions, and have done the opposite, or there would have been actions taken to address the shareholders concerns. Here is the May 11th meeting between Leslie Hakala and our company, and yes we will be asking for those meeting notes and the cd Bill Frizzell entered to Leslie. When that cd shows what Bill Frizzell stated to be true, namely the proof of the largest naked short in history, then we will have shown that Leslie Hakala covered up the largest counterfeiting situation in stock market history, and will have shown your office covered up the crimes of the sec members involved in this crime.
"The next day before we were supposed to leave, Don Stoecklein had set up a meeting with the SEC. And we were not excited about staying for this meeting, we wanted to get out of town, but Don felt like we were going to go talk to them about naked shorting. And that was the main reason that we were there in the first place, and I had all this evidence that I was hoping to give to the SEC, so we had to stay When Bill Frizzell walked into the meeting on the morning of Wednesday, May 11, 2005, he saw every person in the room in a different light. He looked at the faces around him and began to wonder if he had a friend in the entire process. SEC attorneys Leslie Hakala and Gregory Glenn were there with someone else from the SEC, along with CMKX attorney Donald Stoecklein, Bob Maheu, and Mike Williams. Looking back at it later, Frizzell said: So I have all that knowledge while Im sitting there at this meeting with the SEC. And Ive got the corporate general council for CMKM, Don Stoecklein there, and Bob Maheu who was supposed to be cleaning everything up. I was seriously thinking You know, nobody wants me here. I dont even think the judge wants me here. The SEC dn sure doesnt want me here. The corporation doesnt want me here. And I was thinking Oooo, this is ugly, but Ive got this information here and Im trying to figure out what can I do with it. Hakala had made every effort to exclude Frizzell and the shareholders from being represented from day one. In Bills words, Hakala and the SEC had the attitude of why do the shareholders need a lawyer? Our job is to represent the investorsthey dont need their own council. But in Frizzells mind it was clear they were simply covering up their own mistakes: Although the naked short position was not a central issue in the hearing, I had the concern that the naked shorting was so bad that the SEC was going to revoke this company in hopes of covering up the massive stock counterfeiting. Hakala and Glenn introduced the person they had brought with them, Andrew Petillion, Branch Chief of Enforcement at the Pacific Regional Office. Frizzell was a bit taken aback why were they bringing in the head of the entire Pacific region for this little diamond mine company? Frizzell hoped that Maheu might side with him, especially with theories abounding that he was brought in specifically to deal with the criminals who were selling counterfeit stock into the market. Stoecklein wanted to buy time for the company to file their delinquent paperwork. Even if he was using Frizzell to drag out the process, at least he was siding with him on the issue of naked short selling. And who was Mike Williams? Frizzell still didnt know where Williams fit into all of this, since he had no official position with the company. Why was he there at all? Sitting in the meeting with the three SEC officials, Maheu, Stoecklein, and Williams, Bill Frizzell wasnt certain how much of this newfound information he should divulge. He knew the SEC had access to it, and surely they had put two and two together and made the connection between the massive share dumping by Edwards and the other insiders and the money that flowed like water through Urbans bank accounts. But as far as the naked short selling, he knew he would have to lay his cards out on the table: I had a CD-ROM that had an actual picture of the brokers statements. And we had the database that actually totaled up what those statements were. So if they were inclined to do so, they could check out our numbers by just pulling up the data base, clicking on it, and theres a picture of the brokerage statement to see if it is authentic or not. In other words, this wasnt just a jokester conversation. We had a hard copy printout of every brokerage statement, who the broker was and what the number of shares were, a whole box full of statements with the CD-ROM sitting right there on top of it. In several conversations with Bill Frizzell, he recalled that Leslie Hakala had voiced her true feeling towards the more than 50,000 CMKX shareholders who had lost hundreds of millions of dollars: I am not concerned about the present shareholders. Im concerned about future investors in this company. Those were her exact words And I said, Leslie, thats 50 or 60 thousand people who have put their money in there. Your action is going to delist this security. All their investments go down the tube if this company goes under, and thats not a concern? I remember having that conversation. She said, Im just worried about future investors. I dont want anybody else investing their lives in this. It was then that I realized that the SEC didnt want to do anything to help the shareholders of CMKX. They just wanted us to just go away. It started off with Leslie asking What proof do you have of naked shorting? Well, I have a CD and these are 5,050 brokerage statements that represent 350 billion shares. This has just come within the last five days. We also have a December 2004 report from the transfer agent saying that 2,033 people hold certificates representing 326 billion shares. Thats 676 billion shares owned by only 7,083 shareholders. Since there over 50,000 total shareholders total, its obvious that the ones that havent been counted yet will far surpass the 703 billion shares issued. So, Hakala said, well, how do I know that those brokerage statements havent been altered? Wellthat can be verified through the brokerage house and we can get affidavits if we need to. But were here to tell you that this is our investigation. And she said, Well if you prove the naked short, we will investigate it. The end result of all of this was that as I was walking out, we were all getting up, and Mr. Petillion, said, By the way, if this is an orchestrated short squeeze against the brokerage houses to make the stock price go up, we will come after those who are responsible. And then he said, We would not look kindly on a cert pull because it would cause market manipulation. And this was the regional chief. I meanit was a clear threat in my opinion from the SEC that if we did anythingwell, I said something to the effect that if there are brokers out there with shares in their accounts that they havent delivered, thenit is what it is."
In conclusion, I assume your office will take immediate action to address this situation and explain why this was allowed to happen. We will file the foia request, but feel it is your office's legal duty to act, we should not have to take any further action, and we should not have to hire a lawyer to do what is your duty. If that is the case, what is the need for your office. Thank you,

Our shares held in our certificates from the cert pull were
converted to money in our trust...(i believe or certificate
number is related to our "compartment" in the trust, held
by a private company (i believe the dtcc). Brokers/dealers
were given 5 years to get all liens/notes paid in full...
The SEC filed their lawsuit April 2006, 2 months before the deadline
for the Nevada Company to be wound down...Kevin West was nothing more
than the registered agent for Nevada...After he signed off on the
SEC lawsuit April 21, 2008...his job was done...no more business/lawsuits could happen June 21, 2008. Nevada Company no longer existed after June 2008...(Now, the SEC is continuing their 2008 lawsuit by appeal...on Bagley...that's not new business, so it's kosher.)
Hodges lawsuit was filed because he called Obama and asked about our trust...claiming it was $3.78T....Obama looked for it and found it, he added $90B to Hodges figure (for himself) so Obama confirmed the dtcc (a private company) had the trust...
Hodges made many false claims in his lawsuit; i have personal knowledge of those false claims...since i have the true docs to prove it....you see, Maheu and Stoeckline were not the power behind getting us paid....Maheu was appointed by CONGRESS to looking why the SEC allowed 4T unregistered shares flood the market and scam investors. Maheu's job was to disprove that fact; and he could not. The power behind this is LeoWanta, the real LeoWanta which is a code name and is worth over 42T.....this is what hodges wanted to get his hands on...my money; this is the reason he went to Richmond Va...claiming i was his client and to release the money to him....i called the SEC and the SEC called Bush Jr, who moved my money. This is the $4.5T Bush Jr. moved to the Richmond VA BoA June 2006, after Maheu resigned. i believed, that Bush was using this money to earn interest over the 5 years to help the brokers pay what they owed..since some of you hold billions of shares, and i will not tell you the price per share that was demanded be paid....June 2006. (Because Interest since then as been added...it's way more than demanded...probably double the demand...i will tell you this; the demand was not cheap. Anyway, Hodges in Richmond VA for that 2 weeks to us, claimed the account Hodges was claiming belonged to Cottrell...(you see Bush Sr was trying to capture my money; using his goto guy, Cottrell and Lee Emil Wanta who claimed the money was theirs)...this is why hodges wanted in our game; and the reason why he bought the bogus delidog shares...the reason why he filed his lawsuit; he figured he could get control of the money by court order making our distribution through him--of course he would pay all delidog shares and bogus owner group shares out of our trust....eliminating the SEC in our distribution...which i knew was never gonna happen. (i believe after the July 2005 Initial Decision to revoke our security...the owners group sold out...October 28, 2005 it became final...then the cert pull...then delidog begin to sell...and that's why frizzell's extra 20,000 shareholders were added to the mastershareholder lists April 2008...May 2006, we had 39,000 bona fide shareholders (less brokerage houses who tried to cash in on folks who didn't pull their certs)
Today, the problem is Hodges showed the thief in the white house where our trust money is; and they've been using it ever since...stealing it...the SEC is between a hard place and a rock....Schapiro gets fired if she tells the DTCC to release the trust....if she doesn't...for certain when Obozo is gone...she will be gone too..she is in a no win situation...
You see the Japanese have the access codes to my money and all stolen money held in the dtcc/federal reserve....they can't use it; it's still frozen...that is why i posted benjaminfulfords update...the White Dragon Society (the ruling party in Japan) doesn't like thieves and liars....and won't give the bushes anymore loans to bail out banks or give to the military to start wars...they wouldn't take $23T of my money as a bribe, since Ben Fulford is fully aware that i am the real Leo Wanta...the japanese know the bushes and clintons have stolen my money over the past 22 years.
Not to worry, you couldn't have a better individual on your side..You bona fides have the best of the best on your side...LeoWanta--in with our LORD and Saviour holding my right hand..what more could you ask for..these thieves will get away with NOTHING
...all you have to do is watch....money talks ...BS walks....the money is mine our LORD knows it and these thieves are gonna have to give it all back, and the CMKX trust is part of what they've stole.
i don't think it's gonna be much longer, i was told Obama is a Chinaman......that's his home....On Valentines Day, guess where he is going>>>>China, Communist China, where Americans are not welcomed. Obozo is gonna meet with the head honcho in china...they are probably related...they had big plans to take over the USA, covertly..
..no way, no how, this founding father is gonna let that fruitcake in the white house take over my country!
keep the faith nosurrendernc...watch Obama....i think he won't be coming back from China...i think the congress can and will impeach him...then throw him and Michelle in jail for the rest of their lives, IF he comes back to face impeachment.
THANK YOU FATHER

To All CMKM Shareholders:
Greetings to all of you – I sincerely hope that you and your families are doing well so far in this New Year. Much has been happening on the inside with CMKM, and I want to update you as to many of the ongoing efforts being put forth on your behalf:
Company Headquarters
The company records and documents have recently been relocated to my office/warehouse in Alabama. I am providing use of my office facilities at no cost to the company, as it was absolutely necessary to reduce company overhead to the lowest possible level at this time.
I have hired the local accounting firm Madeley and Associates to take over the company accounting, and they will be filing the 2011 tax returns for CMKM. I hope to have the returns filed by March 15, 2012, and will post the return on the CMKM website when completed.
The new company address is as follows:
720 Airport Drive Lincoln, Alabama 35096
Update on Legal Matters
I will be meeting with a prominent law firm this month to discuss the possibilities of pursuing a Naked Short action against various entities that could have harmed the company in the past. I hope to be able to retain this firm on a contingency-only basis, but will meet with other firms if we are unable to strike a deal. I am hopeful that a law firm can be found to pursue this legal avenue for us.
Our legal team met with counsel for Wells Fargo Bank last week to discuss our ongoing lawsuit against the bank. We intend to pursue every legal strategy available to recover from damages we believe were caused by the bank. I will update you further as I am able to discuss with more clarity.
We continue a diligent effort to locate and obtain possession of numerous properties and assets that we believe were bought with CMKM funds by former company insiders. This effort has already produced revenue for CMKM, and I believe it will be a significant revenue source in 2012. I will be personally visiting several of these properties in March to begin formulating a plan to sell or make use of these assets.
Our property in Clayton, Georgia is listed for sale, and is being actively marketed. We hope to find a buyer very soon.
I will keep you updated on these efforts, and others that cannot be discussed at this time.
Upcoming Travel Plans
As previously mentioned, I will be meeting this month with a law firm the Naked Short action. Looking ahead to March, I will be making a long trip out West to look at various properties in Las Vegas and California that we plan to obtain in the near future.
On this same trip, I plan to meet with our new local counsel in Las Vegas, who will be very important to us in the Wells Fargo lawsuit, and in other legal actions in that area.
I am planning a meeting in March with our partner in the 1010 Joint Venture, Mr. Emerson Koch. I look forward to meeting with him, and continuing to affirm our commitment to that Joint Venture. When the spring thaw comes to Canada, I plan to put “boots on the ground” and visit the 1010 claims lands.
While in California, I hope to be able to meet with Mr. Al Hodges. I have not asked for a meeting nor confirmed a meeting with Mr. Hodges, but will contact him soon to ask to meet and shake hands in person.
Company Webinars
In a continuing effort to provide transparency to the shareholder base, I will begin a series of Shareholder Online Meetings or Webinars in April, 2012. I will hold at least two of these meetings in April, 2012 and at least two in May, 2012. I will hold at least one meeting online each month from that time forward. These meetings will be limited to 1,000 participants on a first-come basis. The meetings will involve general statements and updates from headquarters, plus a question-and-answer session. The meetings will be recorded and archived on the CMKM website for review.
I have done the one Pal Talk session recently and personally enjoyed the event, and felt that it was beneficial. I have been invited to participate in other forums as well. However, it has become clear to me now that many shareholders are polarized or have their favorite board, Pal Talk room, or other venue for discussion. I have no desire to alienate any shareholder by participating in a forum that might seem polarized. I have no agenda but to serve the shareholders, and to build unity and trust with each one of you. As a result of my commitment to build unity and trust, while providing the needed information and feedback, I will exclusively use the CMKM website for updates, and the company Webinar format to hold live events.
Board of Directors
The company will hold an online vote on September 30, 2012 for two Shareholder Representatives that will serve on the Board of Directors. These Shareholder Representatives will be considered full Board members, with the same voting rights as other Board members. The company will seek candidates for the Shareholder Representative positions between July 15 and August 15, 2012.
I will appoint up to four non-shareholder Directors prior to the vote on September 30, 2012. I am interviewing potential Directors at this time, and seek to have a strong, diverse Board to help me move CMKM forward into the future.
I will update you as the process of putting this Board of Directors together comes together.
Summary
I have had the privilege to communicate with many shareholders by phone, by e-mail, and by text since coming aboard on November 18, 2011. I have enjoyed meeting each of you, and appreciate your kindness and support, as well as your candor and passion for the CMKM cause. By and large, we all have a common goal and desire – to see CMKM provide a return on your investment that is long overdue.
I can assure you that a tireless effort is underway to put CMKM back on solid footing, and to make you proud that you invested your hard-earned money in this company.
I will communicate again soon. In the meantime – take care, and God bless….

shareholder action settlement
i am happy to report to all shareholders that there has been a settlement in the 7th District Court of Smith County, tx Action 11-3417-a, regarding 7 shareholder plaintiffs and cmkm Diamonds, Inc. This settlement paves the way for a open official forum for the shareholders to interact with their company and officers, and for a real shareholder vote to legitimately occur to place elected shareholder representative directors on the board. The Plaintiffs have submitted a motion and an order, to be signed by the judge, for dismissal without prejudice, in case the terms of the agreement are not met. i do not expect this to be an issue at all, because i believe Mr. Kirkpatrick to be a man of integrity and his word.
Mr. Kirkpatrick and Mr. Kozic conducted these negotiations with the intention of doing the best for the shareholders. Both parties realized that should a judge get a look at this situation, the future of cmkm would be cloudy at best, and the company could be put into receivership. i don't think shareholders realize how close this company was to being done....over....kaput. Without the intervention of Mr. Kirkpatrick into this company, cmkx, in my opinion, was doomed. He has already infused his own money to keep this afloat and met obligations the company was mandated to make good on. He can discuss those with all at the upcoming meetings, should he choose to.
Parameters have been agreed upon for shareholder web meetings, a vote of 2 shareholder directors on the board and terms regarding litigation of the naked short issue of this stock and review of records. i invite all to review this agreement.
http://www.zshare.net/download/990860149f9f66c2/
Please be aware that Mr. Kirkpatrck is financing these meetings out of his own pocket, to the tune of thousands of dollars. This is how much he believes in the future possibilities here. There is no company money. The previous management and board basically left this situation high and dry, and in my eyes, looked for someone who could infuse capital and hopefully have some business sense.
In Mr. Kirkpatrick, i believe we have found more than that. We have found a man of means, tact, business acumen, honesty and the ability to take the bull by the horns and march us forward with grounded leadership and hopeful promise for the future. Our negotiations through numerous conversations have been open, yet testy at times, and i have enjoyed getting to know him and gain respect for him.
I was not going to relent on the fact that we needed open legitimate meetings and a vote of some type. i also wanted the board to board chats and interviews to stop immediately, which Mr. Kirkpatrick did as part of our negotiations. i told him in order for him to have credibility to all shareholders, you cannot play to factions. It will be just more of the same. He admitted to not being "up" on the politics of the situation, which i tried to explain to him.. board to board, person to person.
That said, Mr. Kirkpatrick is looking at this situation as strictly a business venture going ahead. He has said he can't do anything about the past. i said, i can forget the past, as long as we examine it, to make sure criminal activity did not take place, and if it did, i expect the company to take the appropriate action.
I am also encouraged by the fact that the "Tyler" era is coming to an end in terms of location and personnel. It is time for a fresh start. Time to look forward, because in my eyes, there are exciting possibilities for this company.
First, Wells Fargo.. i am getting the sense, we may have some success here..
Second, the land claims and core samples, held by Mr. Koch.. Mr. Kirkpatrick is holding meetings and moving forward quickly to try and make deals and get things moving on this front. One great reason we all wanted a settlement. i expect to hear updates at our first meeting on this and of the legal actions to acquire properties that cmkx wants to seize and put on the market to be sold to raise capital to fuel the company and these endeavors.
Lastly, and very, very exciting to me.. after years of delay by former management, we finally, i believe, will find out very important truths quickly through the litigation of the naked short issue, if this tx firm, be it Wes Christian or whomever, takes on the case. Mr. Kirkpatrick has assured me if they don't, he will seek out other representation, including the taser law firm in Atlanta, to possibly help us out. It is my understanding that this law firm, supposedly one of the best in the country at this type of litigation, was interested in our case and solicited the company, then examined the records and evidence, and in doing so, established that we have a case. Our settlement agreement specifies a timeline in which the company must secure representation or the plaintiffs will be allowed access to any naked shorting materials they request or require to take action on their own.
The other important aspect of this "Naked Short" litigation is this.. it will once and for all put to rest the matter of the trust. In one phone call to a brokerage, Ameritrade for example.. when this law firm calls and says "we are probably going to take action against you for the shorting of cmkx.. there is rumor you already made a settlement.. is that true or not".. If true and money was collected, then the Urban/Maheu/Hodges/Conspiracy/Sting/Operation stuff was all true.. If not, and no settlement was made.. it was all bs.. pure and simple.. so all shareholders should have that answer very shortly.. and i welcome that day..You well know, if the brokers really did pay, there is no way that they will pay twice.
What i consider one shocking revelation that came to light, to me at least, which i believe the shareholders need to know.. is that Bill Frizzell forwarded to the sec a copy of the Owner's Group cd that contained the data of brokerage statements obtained from the shareholders by the Owners Group solicitation to tabulate their holdings in order to prove a naked short. As we know from the 2005 Frizzell letters to brokerages, by tabulating just a small percentage of stock held by shareholders at each brokerage, it was clear that a huge naked short occurred.. in the Ameritrade example, with about 3,000 shareholder accounts reporting, we almost reached the total of shares issued and held by Ameritrade, yet there were still some 15,000 accounts to go. So the sec had all this information, and did nothing. (Remember Bernie Madoff???) That, in my eyes, puts them in collusion to protect the crime perpetrated by the naked shorting of this stock against the shareholders. In other words, they are liable. Where was Tyler... they wasted years of peoples' lives, instead of publicly forcing the hand of the sec to right this enormous wrong. And to this day, what has been done??? i was absolutely incensed finding this out. How this serves us now is that if the law firm that is going to take on this litigation brings this matter up to the sec, i would hope that they can leverage the sec into playing ball with us and help facilitate a naked short settlement, even though, to my understanding, research and interaction with securities commissions, the naked short must and should be attacked on a state by state basis. The states' laws are what is going to win the case for us. btw, Exhibit b, #3, was pretty much written by Mr. Frizzell as an edit to our negotiation, so this came from him, not me.. Please also refer to Exhibit b, #7-8.. same thing...Another thing, why wasn't this type of information used or mentioned in the Bivens.. Seems to me, presenting this evidence in court would have been a slam dunk, to show collusion on the part of the sec. We can only hope that these wasted years finally pay off for all of us with the upcoming naked short litigation by a competent law firm. That is our only hope here, in regards to this.
As far as the statute of limitations that apply here, since the shareholders have not been made aware of the naked short evidence and have never been privy to it, a class action should be able to proceed, by the shareholders, not the company, since no timetable has begun relating to the shareholders as a class. As far as the former liability the former company officers may have for sitting on this evidence.....well.......I also believe there was a us Supreme Court ruling that addressed this situation, in our favor. That is for this expert legal firm to figure out.
I have said to Mr. Kirkpatrick that i could show shareholders a document from the dtcc that says we have no money for cmkx, signed by a judge, and they still wouldn't believe it. He agrees that we will never be able to have all shareholders on the same page regarding these beliefs....but.. the only thing that interests me at this point, is going ahead with real business with a man that i believe can do the job, and i think we have one.
The dtcc lawyers told the Court at the Fryar hearing.. they are not a bank, and would not be holding this money, if any of this occurred. They also said if we could corroborate any of these "trust" rumors, they would provide an affidavit to this fact. They went out of their way after the hearing to confer with Mr. Fryar on this point. . Now had Hodges come forward and worked with the Fryar office, this all could have been done. But Hodges never once, as opposed to every other person contacted in this effort, made a legitimate effort to respond, in any way. You all will have to form your own opinion of Hodges' actions.
In regards to the Fryar effort and our present 7 plaintiff effort, Mr. Kirkpatrick admires what we did and are doing. Realizing it is our right as shareholders to find the truth and demand certain basic things from the company. We have discussed the Hodges' situation and basically he is caught between a rock and a hard place. The Bivens action will run its course, and that will be that.
In regards to the Fryar effort, i believe it is important to clarify that there were nine attempts made to serve Hodges. i personally talked with the lady at the Apple Valley, ca address that informed me she used to work for Hodges and he owes her money. She was very sympathetic to our plight. Once again, it is obvious to me by reading some of these boards, that even supposed board mods who were in law enforcement for 30 years.. don't get it. The Fryar office accomplished something extremely difficult legally. They obtained 2 out of state subpoenas through the petition of letters rogatory. i talked to many lawyers that said this probably would not happen. i will say this about "Flips"... at least he was man enough to accept his subpoena and not run and hide, even though he did "hide" with his testimony, after expounding to all who would listen his intimate knowledge of the "trust" funds. The Hodges situation is what it is.. it certainly does not paint a pretty picture of a man who is attempting to chase down almost 4 trillion dollars for shareholders, or give it much legitimacy. To me, the quick resolution of that matter, the Bivens, will only serve the shareholders positively to move to the future with the real possibilities for the company through the claims and naked short litigation.
Before i start my kumbaya moment, i want to address those people and boards that have done nothing but berate myself, ag members, Fryar clients, and the 7 of us. What most don't realize is slowing but surely, the onion known as cmkx is being peeled away and the truth is coming out, mainly due to these actions above. While board research and dd is important, without verifiable legal action, it basically means squat. What the current action in tx has gained us is leverage.. something the shareholders have never had. If anyone can't see this, they surely don't see the entire picture and are too jaded to realize this. Many companies have had shareholders seek legal action against them to gain some type of equity for the shareholders and been successful, as we have been here. If gaining shareholder meetings and a vote for directors is harmful to shareholders, i must be on the wrong bus. Especially after being blindly promised these things for years. As far as who was involved in these negotiations, i can tell you that the only people on the phone when i was discussing our legal action was myself and Mr. Kirkpatrick, certainly no one from any board or any board moderator... and while some people really think they may know what is actually going on.. when i read these posts and insults, i realize 99% have no clue. Already some are coming out and saying don't vote for this guy ...or this one.. The bottom line is.. we will have an open election.. people can run and vote for whom they want, and if people don't like it ... tough..All i would say to that is, remember who got you the right to do it.. and the gentlemen that took money out of their own pocket to finance the tx litigation...after being promised for years by the Tyler gang that you would have that right.
For that matter, i want to thank publicly all that sacrificed and spoke with their wallets, not their mouths... in the Fryar effort and the gentlemen in the tx effort. Mr. Bates, Mr. Hermansen, Mr. Crosier. Mr. Cox and all of the people that dug deep to keep us afloat and that took much abuse. You folks are all the best and i congratulate and thank you all for your commitment and support.
I have shown Mr. Kirkpatrick a company in Minnesota, a shareholder voting company, and talked with these people. i have described our situation and our shareholder base, and they tell me a vote can be held for between $6,500.00 to $8,500.00 depending on certain things. They can transfer the data from the ta and handle paper ballots as well. Obviously, this is a far cry from the quotes of previous management, that really in my eyes, never really wanted a vote and in general, did not serve the shareholders well. We had money for everything.... salaries, medical coverage, legal fees...but never for a legitimate vote. Mr. Kirkpatrick assures me that, one way or the other, the expense of this will be covered..with whatever voting method he approves.
http://www.surveyandballotsystems.com/
In closing, much has been accomplished in the last two years, even though money is not yet in our pockets. i feel we are finally on the right road, with the right leadership. i ask those who have been friends of mine and supported actions i have been involved with.. to look at the bigger picture here and throw your support behind Mr. Kirkpatrick. i believe he is our only fighting chance, for this company to at least survive and then, hopefully, succeed.. and if he is given a real chance, with real support by the shareholders, will do right by us.
To those that hold me in disdain, hatred or whatever, realize what has been accomplished. Realize after years in this stock, you finally will have a legitimate voice here.
I ask all to put down our swords of disagreement and discontent.. band together...and support Mr. Kirkpatrick and the hopeful future of cmkm Diamonds, Inc.

Watch the personal attacks? You calling Hodges crazy is not a personal attack... Not to mention what you stated many times about the Shareholders in this stock..
Seems like the court at this moment do not think Hodges is crazy...
FACT IS.. You said NSS did not exist through the years since 1997... Let the future record divulge the truth.

You calling Hodges crazy is not a personal attack...
Exactly. It's the simple truth.
You said NSS did not exist through the years since 1997...
Not true. I said that there was no NSS in CMKX, or in most other penny stocks. Casavant issued 800 BILLION shares. Is there some part of that you don't get?
The appellate panel based its ruling on questions having nothing to do with the merit, or lack thereof, of Krazy Al's appeal. Had you been reading along, you'd know that jarta thought resubmitting the motion for summary affirmance was a poor move on the part of the Appellees. I guess the judges thought so too.
More fun this way.
Oh, and are you aware that a group of CMKX shareholders has filed a complaint against Hodges with the California Bar?

SEC OBTAINS $4.8 MILLION JUDGMENT AGAINST MARCO GLISSON, WHO WAS CHARGED WITH MAKING A MARKET IN DEREGISTERED SECURITIES OF CMKM DIAMONDS, INC.
U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 22340 / April 23, 2012
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Marco Glisson, Civil Action No. 2:09-cv-00104
SEC OBTAINS $4.8 MILLION JUDGMENT AGAINST MARCO GLISSON, WHO WAS CHARGED WITH MAKING A MARKET IN DEREGISTERED SECURITIES OF CMKM DIAMONDS, INC.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") announced that a judgment was entered on April 11, 2012 in its civil injunctive action against Marco Glisson, filed in the United States District Court of Nevada. Without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, Glisson consented to entry of a permanent injunction against violations of the registration provisions of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the broker dealer registration provisions of Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Glisson was ordered to pay $2,765,650.65 in disgorgement, which represented profits gained as a result of the conduct alleged in the complaint, together with prejudgment interest in the amount of $670,574.79. In addition, Glisson was ordered to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $1,400,000, and was permanently barred from participating in the offering of penny stock.
The Commissions complaint alleged that from December 2005 through April 2007, Glisson acted as an unregistered broker or dealer and illegally sold deregistered securities of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. CMKM's registration with the Commission was revoked and the stock delisted on October 28, 2005. According to the complaint, Glisson, a retired auto worker and part-time restaurant worker who used the name Deli Dog or Deli in Internet chat rooms, identified potential buyers and sellers by frequenting CMKM related internet chat rooms and through referrals from past buyers and sellers. Glisson then negotiated the terms of the transaction and consummated it by exchanging money for the pertinent CMKM stock certificate. Through these practices, Glisson made a market in deregistered CMKM securities at a time when legitimate broker-dealers refused to execute such purchases or sales because of the Commission's deregistration of CMKM.
See Litigation Release No. 20855/January 15, 2009, for information on the filing of the original action and a link to the Commissions Complaint.

• 1 P R 0 C E E D I N G S
2 THE COURT: All right. We are on the
3 record in Cause Number 2011-47860;
4 and if I could have appearance for the record,
5 Counsel.
6 MR. FRYAR: Eric Fryar, Avneil Adler,
7 Fryar Law Firm, for Petitioner.
8 MR. ADAMS: Edward B. "Teddy" Adams and
9 Peter Tipps for DTCC, one of the respondents.
10 THE COURT: All right. And this is a
11 motion to compel depos prior to suit, correct?
12 MR. FRYAR: I guess for permission to
• 13 take depos prior to suit.
14 THE COURT: Okay. All right. You can
15 give me the background if you want. I've read it.
16 I -- I guess my -- my major question at this point
17 is: The depos you're seeking to get are those
18 dep -- are all of those depos out of county?
19 MR. FRYAR: Yes.
20 MR. ADLER: They're all out of state.
21 THE COURT: They're all out of state.
22 Do I -- that's -- this is going to be my first
23 question to you. Do I have authority to order depos
24 of witnesses that are out of state when we don't even
• 25 have a case pending?
4
• 1 MR. ADLER: Well -- so actually
2 Respondent somewhat addressed that in his objections.
3 THE COURT: I thought of it before he
4 came to his objection, so that's
5 MR. ADLER: Right.
6 THE COURT: That's why I'm asking the
7 question.
8 MR. ADLER: Right. Okay. We 11,
9 Rule 201 does allow us to take out-of-state
10 depositions in the case that there is an action or
11 proceeding in the state. Mr. Adams actually said an
12 action. In the beginning of Rule 201 it says • 13 proceeding in the state.
14 THE COURT: Okay.
15 MR. ADLER: You can certainly make the
16 argument that the Rule 202 petition is a proceeding
17 of some sort. It's an action. There's a cause
18 number. Actually, the case law Mr. Adams cites and
19 which just generally speaks about Rule 202 is about
20 I ' whether or not 1t's subject to removal for federal
21 diversity grounds.
22 So there really is no case law as far
23 as -- I mean, there is case law that discusses
24 Rule two -- as an ancillary proceeding, but there's
• 25 no case law on point as far as out-of-state
• 1 subpoenas, but I'd argue that it is a proceeding for
2 purposes of allowing letters rogatory.
3 MR. FRYAR: It -- it would seem to be
4 strange to set up to say we want to have in this
5 state a mechanism where people can take limited
6 discovery with the permission of the Court in order
7 to avoid unnecessary lawsuits and limit that to
8 discovery within the state unless, you know, it were
9 specifically stated in the rule --
10 THE COURT: Uh-huh.
11 MR. FRYAR: -- and it's not. The rule
12 allows us to have a proceeding, subject to permission
• 13 of the Court, to take limited discovery to determine
14 whether a cause of action exists and allows us to use
15 the rules of discovery to do that.
16 Rules of discovery clearly say -- I
17 mean, you can't order a deposition in New York, but
18 you issue letters rogatory, and we have to go follow
19 the New York procedure in order to secure a subpoena
20 there and get that.
21 THE COURT: Uh-huh.
22 MR. FRYAR: But, I mean, there is a
23 proceeding on file here. There is a cause number.
24 If you issue an order, then Rule 202 gives us the
• 25 right to go exercise, you know, whatever remedies
• 1 exist in New York, Florida, and California.
2 MR. ADLER: Right. Incidentally, we
3 also -- we styled the petition in a way that it's for
4 an anticipated suit. I actually looked into the case
5 law and -- or the -- rather, the statutes in
6 California and Florida, and they also have a similar
7 type of proceeding for obtaining testimony prior to a
8 lawsuit.
9 THE COURT: Okay. Response.
10 MR. ADAMS: Yes, Your Honor. And you
11 want to just talk about whether they can do this at
12 all? • 13 THE COURT: Yeah. I mean, if I don't
14 have legal authority to do it, then I'm not going to
15 do it whether you respond to it or not. I'm--
16 MR. ADAMS: Sure.
17 THE COURT: That's all I'm asking.
18 MR. ADAMS: We believe there is no
19 legal authority for out-of-state depositions. As the
20 Court knows, this is a very narrow area that allows
21 very limited, specific discovery. You don't get to
22 take discovery -- you don't get to do anything
23 besides take a deposition of someone in state.
24 As opposing counsel mentioned, there's
• 25 not a lot of case law on this, but that case law that
··-------------------------------
7
• 1 does exist talks about whether this is an action or
2 proceeding in the context of removal. You can remove
3 an action. So if there were truly an action, we
4 could've come down here and removed the case to
5 federal jurisdiction -- federal court of
6 jurisdiction -- existed.
7 The case that I looked at said "No.
8 You can't do that because this is not an action that
9 can be removed." And for the same reason it's not an
10 action letters rogatory rules of procedure that
11 allow you to, in this pre-suit context, reach over to
12 Florida or New York or California to take a
• 13 deposition of somebody who's a stranger to Texas.
14 But even if you could, Your Honor
15 THE COURT: Uh-huh.
16 MR. ADAMS: -- under that reason, you
17 shouldn't allow the deposition of Mr. Richards here
18 because although -- be talking about investigating a
19 claim, the motion they filed was for -- there are two
20 reasons you can take a deposition pre-suit, one, to
21 investigate a claim --
22 THE COURT: Uh-huh.
2 3 MR. ADAMS: and two, to prevent a
24 failure or delay of justice. At least as to
• 25 Mr. Richards, they went for the latter, and there is
-------- - - -------- ··-- ··-·-·· --- .
8
• 1 no evidence at all anywhere in the papers they filed
2 that taking Mr. Richards' deposition now would any
3 way prevent a failure or delay of justice. He's not
4 sick. He's not going away. If they think they have
5 a lawsuit, they can file it and then go through the
6 procedure, take his deposition if they need it, but
7 there's nothing in the record to indicate that he
8 needs to be deposed now. They could've filed a
9 different motion asking to -- to investigate a claim.
10 We'd have a different issue. They didn't do that.
11 THE COURT: And I thought I read in
12 these papers that this is not y'all's first rodeo,
• 13 that there's already some litigation previously
14 around this.
•
15 MR. ADAMS: Let me give you a little
16 bit of background about this.
17 THE COURT: Okay.
18 MR. FRYAR: Not us.
19 THE COURT: Not you, but there's some
20 previous was it in your response --
21 MR. ADAMS: It was, Your Honor.
22 THE COURT: that I read that? Okay.
23 MR. ADAMS: There's a company called
24 CKKM Diamonds [sic] .
25 THE COURT: Uh-huh.
•
•
9
1 MR. ADAMS: It's a penny stock. The
2 people that ran that company were bad actors, issued
3 billions of shares improperly. There was lawsuits in
4 Nevada by the SEC against the operators of that.
5 Everyone in there either agreed to a consent judgment
6 against them or had summary judgment found against
7 them. While that proceeding was going on, the
8 company was folded up. Through that -- there were
9 various doc exchanges between that company -- other
10 companies as part of the winding-up process.
11 Meanwhile, in California -- and these
12 were some of the documents that were attached to the
13 petition. Mr. Hodges, one of the lawyers, one of the
14 people they want to depose, filed a lawsuit, a
15 putative class action against all the commissioners
16 of the SEC, and their theory is that there is a
17 secret multi-trillion-dollar fund that was set up.
18 That case was dismissed on the
19 pleadings, and one of the things they want to do is
20 depose the lawyer. The DTCC -- and I'm sorry for
21 this background. This is a little complicated.
22 Back in the olden times, when you
2 3 bought a share of stock, you got a stock certificate.
24 They sent it to you in the mail . That doesn't happen
25 anymore. What happens now is the company called the
• 1 DTCC that we represent, The Depository Trust &
2 Clearing Corporation, collects all those stock
3 certificates for pretty much everybody in the
4 country, and they put them in a vault, and they keep
5 electronic records of "Teddy Adams has a thousand
6 shares of Exxon stock" and I have it through Smith
7 Barney. Smith Barney will have an account with the
8 DTC that says "We have 5 million shares," and if they
9 need more shares they'll buy them from Morgan Stanley
10 and they'll make a record on the books.
11 Along with the functions of
12 storing/keeping records of who owns -- which
• 13 brokerage houses own stock, the DTCC also will -- if
14 you're going to make a dividend payment, instead of
15 ExxonMobil having to pass it out to everybody,
16 they'll give it to the DTCC, which, in turn, will
17 say, "All right. Smith Barney has a thousand shares.
18 They get $500,000. Merrill Lynch has 5,000 shares.
19 They get $25,000." Then Merrill Lynch and Smith
20 Barney will allocate it to their people.
21 Mr. Richards, who they want to depose,
22 is somebody who works for the DTCC
23 THE COURT: Okay.
24 MR. ADAMS: -- and he is part of this
• 25 other lawsuit and part of this morass.
1 Someone called him and recorded a
2 conversation with Mr. Richards in which he says "I
3 don't know anything about this. I don't know what
4 you're talking about. I've never seen anything, nor
5 have I told anyone I've ever seen anything." So this
6 is some big fishing expedition trying to find
7 something that may lead to some lawsuit about a $2.8
8 trillion secret fund that may or may not exist.
9 MR. FRYAR: Let me
10 THE COURT: Okay.
11 MR. FRYAR: -- get
12 THE COURT: Yeah.
13 MR. FRYAR: -- real practical.
14 THE COURT: Okay.
15 MR. FRYAR: Okay? First of all, we're
16 representing shareholders okay? -- shareholders
17 who bought stock that wasn't even authorized stock
18 okay? -- who lost their money. They're victims; no
19 question. There was a lot of litigation involving
20 the people that perpetrated the fraud, none which
21 went to a judgment that actually benefited the
22 shareholders.
23 THE COURT: Okay.
24 MR. FRYAR: Okay? There are -- you
25 know, I' 11 just say there are rumors -- okay?
DONNA KING, CSR
164TH OFFICIAL REPORTER
(713) 368-6256
There
1 is -- I don't have any documentary evidence that
2 proves this, but there the shareholders had been
3 told by company insiders, some of whom are now d e ad,
4 that there were settlements done several years back
5 to set up funds for the benefit of the shareholders.
6 Mr. Hodges is one of the people we want
7 to depose. He instituted a lawsuit in California in
8 which he went -- you know, we got records of -- of
9 arguments before the Court in which he stated: I've
10 got evidence that this record that these trust
11 funds exist. DTCC is one of the owners of this.
12 Mr. -- who's the other guy?
13 MR. ADLER: Richards.
14 MR. FRYAR: -- Richards has been
15 contacted. The other guy' Fielding
16 MR. ADLER: Phillips.
17 MR. FRYAR: -- Phillips says he's
18 actually seen records that prove that this trust fund
19 exists and is where Mr. Hodges says.
20
21
22
2 3 wait, wait.
24
25
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. FRYAR: So we have contact
THE COURT: Is Phillips one -- wait,
Is Phillips
MR. FRYAR: Okay.
THE COURT: Is this Phillips person
somebody you wanted to depose?
2 MR. FRYAR: Yes. There were --
3 MR. ADLER: Yeah.
4 MR. FRYAR: -- three people we want to
5 depose, Richards, Phillips, and Hodges. Basically
6 we've been hired by a bunch of these shareholders,
7 who say "If there's money out there that belongs to
8 us, we want to find it and we want to assert our
9 rights to it. We want to be paid. If there's not
10 we want to know that too. " You know?
11 THE COURT: Uh-huh.
12 MR. FRYAR: So, I mean, this is a
13 situation in which I could file a lawsuit, which
14 would be very expensive, and go through motions
15 practice on information and belief based on these
16 representations that have been made to our clients.
17 We'd be doing it in good faith. They think the money
18 is there.
19 THE COURT: Okay.
20 MR. FRYAR: Okay? But what we want to
21 do is use this rule for exactly what it's designed
22 for, which is to say, you know, "DTCC, if we're
23 crazy" -- and some people have said Mr. Hodges is
24 crazy. "If this fund doesn't exist, why don't you go
25 under oath and tell our shareholders it doesn't exist
instead of file -- hiring Fulbright & Jaworski tot
2 come in and file a paper the day before the hearing
3 to say 'Don't -- we don't want to go under oath to
4 say whether you have -- we have your money or not.'"
5 THE COURT: Uh-huh.
6 MR. FRYAR: Okay? What we're tying --
7 trying to do is save resources, use the rule for what
8 it's designed for, and they're in here trying to
9 block our access to information. Well, all -- all
10 our people want to know is: Should we be suing
11 somebody? We don't want to file a lawsuit if there's
12 no basis. We've been told that we're crazy. We've
13 been told that this is a lie. We've also been told
14 that it's the truth. You know, "Attorney Fryar, can
15 you -- is there any way to find out for sure?" You
16 know? To which, my response is: There's Rule 2 0 2'
17 which allows us to take a deposition for exactly this
18 type of situation.
19 THE COURT: Right. But does it allow
20 you to take all of those dep -- it sounds like, from
21 the little bit you just told me, the main person you
22 need is this Phillips person, but --
23 MR. FRYAR: Well, Phillips and Hodges
24 definitely, and -- but, you know, what they're saying
2 5 is: We've seen the information -- we -- we have
• 1 information that it's at the DTCC. We've seen a
2 record that it's at the DTCC. They're not, like
3 they're not associated with the DTCC. They're -- all
4 they can give us is hearsay. Why not go to the
5 source? I mean, give us one guy who's going to say
6 "This is true" or "This is false" under oath.
7 MR. ADLER: If I may add, just as far
8 as the DTCC is concerned, the phone transcript that
9 Mr. Adams was referring to earlier -- that's actually
10 a call from the CEO of the company. The rumors were
11 so prevalent that the CEO of a company actually
12 called Mr. Richards, hosted a transcript on their
• 13 company Web site --
14 THE COURT: Uh-huh.
15 MR. ADLER: -- and com -- and put up a
16 report about -- aside from the actual conversation
17 about the substance of this conversation.
18 It was obviously a very prevalent
19 rumor, and there were several people -- we weren't
20 we weren't able to find those people that had spoken
21 directly to Mr. Richards. There were several people
22 that had said -- to that effect, that
23 THE COURT: Uh-huh.
24 MR. ADLER: -- you know •
25 THE COURT: All right. Frankly, I
1 don't think you're saving any money to take three
2 depositions, regardless. I'm still kind of
3 questioning whether or not I even have the authority
4 to order these depositions. I'm--
5 And this Phillips person is somebody
6 you represent as well?
7 MR. ADAMS: No, Your Honor. We
8 represent Morris --we represent DTC, who's Morris
9 Richards' employee [sic].
10 THE COURT: Okay.
11 MR. ADAMS: Hodges and Phillips -- I
12 don't know anything about them. They --
tt 13 THE COURT: Yeah.
14 MR. ADAMS: They're on their own.
15 I think we I'd like to just re-focus
16 for a little bit. First of all, Rule 202 -- there's
17 got to be some standard. It can't just be based on
18 rumors and hopes and dreams. The transcript that was
19 posted was unequivocal. He said he didn't know
20 anything about this, but we're getting a little bit
21 a -- far -- far afield because they asked to take a
22 deposition not to investigate a claim as to
23 Mr. Richards, but to prevent a failure or delay of
24 justice, a situation if somebody is sick, dying,
1 THE COURT: Yeah. I mean, if that's
2 the reason -- that seems like the wrong reason. I'll
3 tell you that right now. If that's what you've
4 alleged, that's the absolute wrong reason because we
5 haven't even talked about that.
6 MR. FRYAR: Well, we don't want to sue
7 Mr. Richards individually, but he's a witness in a
8 lawsuit -- if this -- if the fund exists --
9 THE COURT: Uh-huh.
10 MR. FRYAR: -- our people have a
11 lawsuit to assert their interest in the fund.
12 THE COURT: I understand
tt 13 MR. FRYAR: Right.
14 THE COURT: exactly what you're
15 saying, but if the basis for your wanting a
16 deposition prior to suit is just because you want to
17 avoid him dying on you or something like that
18 that's not what we've discussed. What we've
19 discussed is investigating a claim.
20 If that's your basis, it sounds like
21 that should have been part of the original motion.
22 MR. FRYAR: I think we alleged that in
23 the alternative. Didn't we?
24 MR. ADLER: Well, the rule actually
25 says to perpetuate or obtain testimony, and I don't
1 think that whether Mr. Richards --
•
•
2 THE COURT: Do you have a copy of your
3 motion?
4 MR. ADLER: Yes.
5 THE COURT: Make my life easy. If all
6 it says is that you want to prevent it because he's
7 dying or he's got some other calamity, then it's
8 going to be denied. You're not barred from re-filing
9 it with the correct claim, but -- or you might just
10 save yourself some money, just file this thing.
11 MR. ADLER: Here's the paragraph that
12 talks about Richards' testimony .
13 THE COURT: Yeah. You got "may prevent
14 further delay." You --
15 MR. ADLER: I don't -- I don't think
16 the situation of whether or not he might die is
17 necessarily an only circumstance where --might
18 prevent a delay of justice.
19 THE COURT: And I think we're saying
20 the same things. The problem is that's not what --
21 you -- you alleged it as just trying to prevent delay
22 instead of alleging trying to prevent delay or --
23 and/or investigating the claim.
24 So, you know, if that's all you've got,
25 I'm going to deny as to Richards. Let me see
• 1 Phillips. It sounds like you just need this Phillips
2 person. I will tell you that.
3 MR. FRYAR: Well -- and Hodges is the
4 attorney who says that he has this evidence, and his
5 lawsuit was dismissed before it got to discovery or
6 anything on the merits, so we want to -- and he's
7 also a shareholder, so we want to find out what he's
8 got.
9 THE COURT: Okay. I'll let you depose
10 Hodges and Phillips. You're not deposing Richards.
11 Give me an order. There you go.
12 MR. ADAMS: Thank you, Your Honor. May
• 13 we be excused?
•
14 THE COURT: Yes. You're excused.
15 Do you have an order for me, or do you
16 want to submit one?
17 MR. ADLER: I have one here.
18 THE COURT: If you want to doctor it
19 and submit it to me, that's fine.
20 MR. ADLER: I have -- if you want to
21 just change the -- put the relevant names --
22 THE COURT: There. You fill in their
23 names so that I don't misspell them and then hand it
24 back to me .
25 MR. ADLER: Sure. Sure.
• 1 THE COURT: I'll sign it. Okay?
2 MR. ADAMS: May we submit an order as
3 to Richards?
4 THE COURT: Yes. Submit an order as to
5 Richards, and I'll sign off on it.
6 MR. ADAMS: Thank you.
7 THE COURT: Okay? Thank you. Have a
8 good weekend.

oldepro/Steve Walker's letter to Senators Boxer and Feinstein and Congresswoman Capps from the Mil Board. Some comments to his post are posted below.
Honorable Senators Boxer and Feinstein and Congresswoman Capps and Most Honorable Fellow Citizens of America,
I am Steve Walker from Oxnard Ca. I have been involved in stock market reform, with particular attention to Abusive Naked Short Selling (Phantom Shares), for over ten years. On June 7, I filed two separate Whistleblower Complaints with the SEC. On June 11, from a previous Freedom of Information Act request, the SEC sent me a copy of Exhibit 17 from the SEC Administrative Hearing in Los Angeles involving CMKM Diamonds May 10. 2005. File No. 3-11858.
The contents in this document are startling. I ask for a complete investigation.
CMKM Diamonds is the largest case of abusive naked shorting in history. Proof can be obtained by comparing two Documents. Exhibit 17 from File No. 3-11858 and Exhibit A from the Koch Declaration, filed 04/27/2007 by David Koch on behalf of CMKM Diamonds. http://www.cmkmdiamondsinc.com/documents/Koch%20Declaration.pdf
Please read my SEC-OIG Complaint filed June 7, before I received Exhibit 17 under the FOIA,
The SEC and the DOJ are using false volume numbers in two major cases involving CMKM Diamonds.
During an SEC Administrative Hearing involving CMKM Diamonds, Christopher Wall presented testimony regarding volume in CMKX stock. The numbers he relied on are FALSE. It was a result of a computer "glitch":
"One of the problems with this exponential rise in popularity occurs in tracking share volumes. The Pink Sheets and OTCBB are limited by binary reporting systems that 'max out' at 4.295 billion shares, and the largest number a binary system can display is 32 digits. If it reports volumes larger than that, the data gets distorted. Counters either revert back to zero or provide incorrect volume data. Only a new reporting system could rectify this problem."
Read more: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/trading/04/072804.asp#ixzz1x1rLg1EX
Note: I contacted the author Matt Blackman yesterday by email. Look at his charts and imagine what the total could be (Naked short shares), if he is correct.
From Steve Walker to Matt Blackman: "Thank you so much for responding.
I assume the numbers in the charts came from the exchanges. If the OTCBB and Pinks had faulty reporting systems, these chart numbers would be suspect. Actually all OTCBB and PInks data would be. Correct? Am I missing something?
Thanks so much for your help.
Matt Blackman mattblackmancmt@gmail.com
4:04 PM (17 hours ago)
to me
Suspect only on issues that have maxed out at 4.295 billion shares (more than 32 digits) which is a very small subset of all PS and OTCBB stocks. But the growth bars since they are relative accurately depict growth rates which is what I was trying to show."
If he is correct and I agree with him 100%, if the "very small subset" is 5 stocks (we have documents for 3), you are then looking at 700 Billion X 5= 3.5 Trillion phantom shares. At .0001 = 1 billion shares is $100,000.
*Not in Original filing (Added for clarity) "from Lee Webb Stockwatch,'
"As Judge Murray wrote, 'the investing public has received only self-serving statements from persons promoting CMKM Diamonds.'"
Ms. Hakala goes on to remark that despite the lack of reliable information, "CMKM Diamonds' stock trades at exceptionally high volumes."
In fact, CMKM has traded at even higher volumes than perhaps realized by the SEC, which relied on flawed data provided by Bloomberg.
As previously reported by Stockwatch, CMKM has traded such massive volumes that many quote services, evidently including Bloomberg, have not been able to accurately report the daily totals.
In simple terms, the volume counters used by many quote services "turn over" much like a vehicle odometer once they hit a certain point.
In more technical terms, most software uses a 32-bit signed integer to represent volumes, therefore the maximum possible value is 2,147,483,647.
CMKM regularly traded more than 2.15 billion shares per day, topped 10 billion shares on many occasions and once notched an astounding 39.6 billion shares. Those whopping volumes were not accurately reported in the Bloomberg data relied upon by the SEC.
http://www.stockwatch.com/swnet/newsit/newsit_newsit.aspx?bid=B-471798-U:CMKX&symbol=CMKX&ne..
It's a bit confusing at first, but what happens is when the total reaches 2,147,483,647; it then resets and counts backward to zero. Then it restarts at zero and goes up. At the end of the day, it ends in either a positive or negative number below 2,147,483,647, and it may have reset 5-10 times (if 10 times, real volume was roughly 20 billion).
If you look at Exhibits 17 and 61 from the SEC Hearing, you will see many NA. Approximately 50% of the time. Every NA would be a negative number.
I have documented proof and I alerted Agent Vasquez two years ago.http://www.capwiz.com/politicsol/bio/userletter/?id=3181&letter_id=4046781356
Both the SEC and the DOJ are prosecuting major cases relying on FALSE NUMBERS.
I make no accusations about the character of those involved. I think it is a case of a computer "Glitch". No matter what, it must be resolved.
Here are the volume figures from CMKM,http://www.cmkmdiamondsinc.com/documents/Koch%20Declaration.pdf See exhibit A.
Take special note, until June of 2004 the company records show negative numbers. I believe they switched systems at this time.
Mr. Wall testified the volume went over 2 billion shares "six or seven times". This is ludicrous. It is much higher. In February of 2004 it averaged 3 billion per day from Knight Trading ALONE, per Carol Remond Dow Jones.
Which begs the question, are these naked shorted shares? In my opinion, yes. I believe the phantom shares are held by Major Brokerages, in individual Roth/Ira Accounts. Please take swift and decisive action. I will provide documents upon request.
My Canadian counterpart has evidence this was done to other pink sheet stocks as well. He has documents on QBID and FFGO specifically. He will provide upon request.
If applicable, ask for whistleblower protection under Dodd Frank.
I am filing with the SEC Office of the Whistleblower today.
Finally, I petition for a Congressional Investigation.
Sincerely,
Steven Walker
filed 6-7-2012
IWF_CD064A5BB3
Here's the smoking gun, Mr. Wall testified the period was between January 2003 to April 2005. Confirmed by Ms. Hakala. The first 2 pages of the exhibit show the price volume chart for this period. Next were daily time and sales. Shockingly the time and sales charts stop 3/19/04. The CMKM reports are showing every other day (average), a negative number. So are Bloomberg from exhibit 17, but they are left blank. Question is who blanked them out and why? If they had shown a negative, pages 1 and 2 would look like CMKM"S Exhibit pages 7 and 9. It would show negative volume. If the SEC had shown Judge Brenda Murray 14 months of negative volume, in BILLIONS of shares, I doubt she would make this ruling, http://www.sec.gov/alj/aljorders/2005/3-11858-1.pdf
CMKM stopped showing negative numbers after changing Tranfer Agents in June of 2004. These numbers are the best reference to true trading, available to the pubic. In his deposition with the SEC Donald Stoecklein testified an analysis by Dr. Jim DeCosta, showed the naked short could be 14-1.
A meeting was held between the SEC and CMKM Attorneys and management.
Among others, this meeting consisted of Andrew Petillion (AP), Branch Chief of Enforcement at the Pacific Regional Office, Leslie Hakala (LH), SEC Enforcement Attorney, , Gregory Glenn, SEC Chief Litigation Counselobert Maheu (RM), Donald Stoecklein (DS), and Bill Frizzell (BF), Owners Group (OG) representive for CMKM shareholders. Donald Stoeckein states Jim DeCosta presented evidence of 14-1.
During the Hearing, no one objects to or disputes the false numbers of the SEC, who play 'hide in plain sight' with Judge Brenda Murray. What is needed is to look at the original Bloomberg Reports.
With my whole heart and hopes for those in the future, I beg you to investigate. A naked short pays no income tax.
From CMKMDiamonds June 20, 2012:
There is apparently a new controversy among shareholders about the actual CMKX share counts, so here are the numbers as of today, 6/20/12 per the records at Transfer Online:
Shareholder Count: 50,407
Issued Shares: 695,969,515,522
Outstanding Shares: 695,933,015,522
Non-Restricted Shares: 672,250,114,879
Restricted Shares: 23,682,900,643
Authorized Shares: 800,000,000,000
http://www.cmkmdiamondsinc.com/
There are 633 Billion certed by the TaskForce
There needs to be an immediate ,audit through the DTCC, of all brokers still holding shares , including ROTH/ IRA Accounts.
CMKM still exist today and has a preliminary agreement with the holder of what may possibly be valuable claims. We deserve to know the TRUE number of shares.
There are claims by Attorney Al Hodges that CMKM was involved in "support foreign terrorist organizations."
"The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice, with assistance from the Department of Homeland Security, believed and developed evidence that said short sellers were utilizing their activities to illegally launder moneys, wrongfully export moneys, avoid payment of taxes, and to support foreign terrorist operations. To fulfill the plan to criminally trap such wrongdoers, the Securities and Exchange Commission, with assistance from the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security" http://cmkxunofficial.proboards.com/inde....ay&thread=4385.
Oh, where's the sex? While this was all going on,
"One senior attorney at SEC headquarters in Washington spent up to eight hours a day accessing Internet porn, according to the report, which has yet to be released. When he filled all the space on his government computer with pornographic images, he downloaded more to CDs and DVDs that accumulated in boxes in his offices." http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/sec-pornograph....44#.T-euxfW3FNg
In October 2009, I contacted SEC Chairwoman Mary Shapiro, SEC Director of Enforcement Division Robert Khuzami, David Kotz at the time, Inspector General of the SEC, about this very subject, and nothing was done. This was before I had possession of Exhibit 17. Exhibit 17 screams for a full Congressional Investigation.
I have no doubt many insiders of CMKM were corrupt and should pay for their crimes. But I believe the SEC came into this case with tunnel vision. Naked short selling in CMKX was not addressed at the May 2005, when it should have been. Why did the SEC fight so hard to exclude evidence of naked shorting BEFORE the Hearing? Why was Judge Brenda Murray not shown the REAL trading in CMKX? How many other companies were victims? Someone was gaming the system and so far, they have gotten away with it. Why? It's time for all these and other questions to be answered.
I leave you with the words of the late Robert Maheu, former aide to Howard Hughes and one time Chairman of the Board of CMKM Diamonds.
Conversation with Mark Faulk March 2007,
"FAULK: I agree with that completely. I think in the end that will be the only way that the truth comes out is for them to push it into the courts and the judge to step up and say enough is enough now let’s get it all out there. What about the SEC? What was your involvement with them? What are your feelings on how they’ve dealt with this?
MAHEU: Well, I don’t quite get this question.
FAULK: I've covered the issue of stock market fraud and naked short selling and stock counterfeiting over the last three years quite a bit and I've always had the impression that many times the SEC would just as soon kinda bury the companies and make it go away and I very much had that feeling in this particular issue but again from your viewpoint, do you feel like they were operating in the best interest of the shareholders?
MAHEU: I kept saying at that same hearing that I felt that they and we, and by we I mean those that were at the so-called management level at the time, had an obligation to protect the stockholders, and I was inferring that sometimes I get the impression that that was not what they were doing. I hope that answers your question.
FAULK: Yeah, it does. Sometimes it's hard to tell if they are doing it maliciously or are they just kind of following the letter of the law. That's a gray area where I obviously have my own opinions about how, not just in this case but how they’ve dealt with…
MAHEU: Why was the SEC put in place in the first place? I thought the first obligation they had was to protect the stockholders.
FAULK: Exactly. And theoretically that is true. I haven't always seen it play out way and not just in this instance but in hundreds of companies. Very many times I’ve had them just say the easiest approach is to just make it go away.
MAHEU: I don’t know if you have the same feeling as I do, but my youngest son is the number 2 man on the police force in San Diego. He and I and Peter, who of course runs the Global Intelligence Network, we talk about certain things, about how things were handled in the past and how we feel that there is a tendency today to handle it differently. We feel that there are too many people in law enforcement or regulatory bodies today who begin with a conclusion. They do not logically arrive at one.
FAULK: So in other words you think they have a conclusion and then they try to find the facts to back up their preconceived…
MAHEU: They've got to rationalize their fallacious conclusion, and when you do that, Mark, and I don't give a damn, you may be the smartest thing since 7-up, but you're on a collision course.
FAULK: You've already clouded your objectivity, basically.
MAHEU: Exactly."

Fellow Honorable Citizens of America and the World,
In my life, I have never 'taken a shot'. My wife raised our boys with Wayne Gretsky's quote "you miss every shot you don't take.". Please help me with my shot, spread this to anyone you know and urge them to take action, by emailing and calling the offices of the Senators Boxer and Feinstein and Congresswoman Capps . And then, contact your Representatives and ask them to become involved. Alert the Senate Banking Committee. If a member is from your State, it makes a big difference. Working together we can create a reverse Ponzi scheme, and hold someone responsible. Please help me make this go viral, email and post it everywhere on the web. If you have invested in the stock market in the last ten years, you have been a victim of abusive naked short selling. Let's see some justice for a change.
Thank you,
Steve Walker

RoughCut$:
I haven't read and/or absorbed the whole post but is he the same Steve Walker who was Investor Relations for CMKM Diamonds for a while last year?
funado:
Yes, Roughcut, it's the same person. He posts on this board as Oldepro.
And it seems like he's made very remarkable progress here. Steve posted information when he was in the early stages of this investigation powered by himself and a friend in Canada, but now he seems to have wrestled some real evidence from the SEC.
I hope we can all help to spread this and, like he says, help it to become viral. It seems like another avenue toward getting the SEC, or someone, to start telling the truth about CMKX sales, both legitimate and naked.
Great job, Oldepro! You certainly took a shot here -- and it looks like your aim is right on.
Funado
Duc N Altum:
Yes and he is an Oldpro!!! Nice post Oldpro.... wow... that an awesome understanding of proof of how high the shares purchased on a day go way higher than it really is!!! This is huge and also seems like a perfect system to really hide a ton of abuse by this kind of resetting system once it reaches its highest ups and lowest lows. Very very interesting!!! A +1 for your efforts and Matt Blackman.
Awesome again Steve, infinite respects!!!
ShowMeTheMoney:
Oldepro/ Steve...
Nice investigative and deductive work... awesome, really! I will send this info to my Senate and Congressional Representatives.

bob remember the post where you proved the naked short
it is below but here is an excerpt from it and the ramifications I added, are these completely true statements given the evidence below:
"According to the documents there are 703,518,875,000 shares held by stockholders of record (certified stock) + 407,321,106,308 known uncertified stocks= 1,110,839,981,000 (Trillion Shares) accounted for. Now, what about the Unknown “Street Name†stocks? That is what the certificate pull was about, to identify the actual owners of both unknown and known “Street Name†stocks"
Bob does this mean every real share in cmkx was held in cert form march 4th 2005, ie not one share held at the dtcc to trade.
So would that mean every single brokers statement bill handed leslie Hakala on the cd may 11th 2005 were naked or fails as there were no shares held at the dtcc to even trade.
So that would mean going into the administrative hearing every single share was off the market, not at the dtcc, so the exhibit 17 used false data as there were no shares to trade and it would have proven a massive naked short, the exact short held at the dtcc, ie over 400 billion shares.
So it would be true that every letter bill wrote to etrade, ameritrade, td waterhouse, etc were all naked shares or fails.
So this is clealy why bill said he had irrefutable evidence of the naked short, as it was just that easy to prove.
And every share traded here was either a naked share/fail the dtcc cover: From March 17, 2005 through April 29, 2005 CMKM traded publicly, in the US under the trading symbol “CMKX,†a total of 551,756,751,833 shares, an average share volume of more than 17 billion shares per day, reaching a maximum on April 21, 2005 of 94,654,588,201 shares. These figures do not include foreign trades nor trades made on an ex-clearing basis.
Given we all know etrade and ameritrade and td certed their clients, then we now know that those shares came from the 703 billion certs held, right, as all those fails at the DTCC are now certed. None of the shares on the master list were dumped into the market as those certs didn't end up in street form. We know that because there were 703 billion shares in cert form march 2005 and not in street name, ie they were held outside the DTCC. Phxgold was right, none of the share raises were dumped into the market.
Basically bob, this proves the whole ending is a facade as the company had irrefutable evidence of the naked short, and those that thought all along that all the shares were tied up for the operation al hodges outlines were right. And this is not conjecture, it is fact. It also proves that proving the short was easy, you just had to get the records of the shares held at the dtcc and you have an exact record of the short, which would have been verified in the cert pull.
CMKX's Naked Short Reveiled?
« Thread Started on Today at 11:43am »
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Naked Short is noted in the company’s PRs and SEC Filings. The wording is confusing in the original statements. Stockholders addressed this several times, but there remains an uncertainty whether there is documented evidence of a substantial naked-short. The following paragraphs provide explanations clarifying the company's information on naked-shorted stock count. The reference documents are provided at the end of this post.
On March 4, 2005, a company's Press Release stated 703,518,875,000 owned by 2,032 Stockholders, which doesn't include the “Street Name†stocks.
The company released another PR to clarify the previous information. The company explained Issued and Outstanding …†The issued and outstanding share number includes all shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 4, 2005, including those held by stockholders in their respective brokerage accounts and/or other nominee names.†In other words, definition of Issued and Outstanding, Stocks held by stockholders, whether at home, bank, brokerage account, beneficiary, TRUST, or under the mattress.
Then the company continues and explains what they consider a “Stockholder of Record†. “A stockholder of record is a person/entity that holds an actual certificate for shares of the Company's common stock in its name. Therefore, the Company has 2,032 stockholders that hold certificates in their own name. “. In other words, Definition of stockholder of record are stockholders with certificates in the name of the actual owners whether held at home, bank, brokerage, beneficiary, TRUST…
The company then explains the definition of †Street Name†and how many shares are listed with Cede & Co., which are 407,321,106,308 “Street Name†. "Street name" refers to shares held in a person's/entity's brokerage or other trading account (important statement here, stockholders are not identified by the actual name of owners because the shares are not certed). The majority of these shares are typically shown on stockholder lists as being held in CEDE & CO. This is where the confusion enters the picture. Definition of †Street Name†... shares held by brokerage or other trading account that are not certified. Why are "Street Name" stocks not certified? For starters, the stocks are always available for immediate sale or transfer to another broker. In addition, monthly brokerage statements are proof of ownership. Also, if the stock splits, there are no labor-intensive processes of having old certificate and having a new one issued.
According to the documents there are 703,518,875,000 shares held by stockholders of record (certified stock) + 407,321,106,308 known uncertified stocks= 1,110,839,981,000 (Trillion Shares) accounted for. Now, what about the Unknown “Street Name†stocks? That is what the certificate pull was about, to identify the actual owners of both unknown and known “Street Name†stocks. What is the known and unknown amount? It is somewhere located in the following Task Force Count and the shares presently not certed. The counterfeiting of shares is huge, imho.

The Clincher???
If there were 703,518,875,000 shares held by stockholders of record (certified) before the cert pull, then where are and who owned the large number of certified shares? The SEC Filings state that certain decisions were approved by the majority shareholder vote. Urban Casavant took the time and effort to file with the SEC what constitutes a majority shareholder. When the Outstanding balance was increased to 800 Billion, the document referenced below states that the increase was approved by 65% vote. Now, 65% of 500 Billion is 325 Billion shares held by the majority vote. What entity or entities are owners of 352 Billion shares, who voted for the increase to 800 Billion? Is this what the 2002 UJAC Irrevocable Trust and 2005 Irrevocable Trust accounts are all about...protecting the Majority Vote shares and assets? Also, what was the “significant contributions to the company†already made by Michael Williams as stated by Urban Casavant in the SEC Filing referenced below? Is part of the majority vote in Mr. Williams’ “The MDW and GRW 2000 Irrevocable Trust†? Urban Casavant and Michael Williams both entered contracts signing as Trustees of the Irrevocable Trust Accounts. Something to ponder.
Each avenue we take leads us to yet another direction. There will be many directions mapped out in the documents available. We are driven by our desire to understand the journey through CMKX-Land. Though we may take a different route with different viewpoints, I feel the final destination will be the same for the bona fide stockholder, a welcoming Return On Investment. Imsho.
All the best,

Shares Outstanding and Stockholders of Record.
In the March 4, 2005 press release, the Company disclosed it had 703,518,875,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding to approximately 2,032 stockholders of record (excluding shares held in "street name").
Several stockholders have raised concern over what the previous statement actually means. The issued and outstanding share number includes all shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 4, 2005, including those held by stockholders in their respective brokerage accounts and/or other nominee names.
A stockholder of record is a person/entity that holds an actual certificate for shares of the Company's common stock in its name. Therefore, the Company has 2,032 stockholders that hold certificates in their own name.
"Street name" refers to shares held in a person's/entity's brokerage or other trading account. The majority of these shares are typically shown on stockholder lists as being held in CEDE & CO. The Company is not aware of how many stockholders have shares held in "street name", but the Company's stockholder list as of March 4, 2005 had 407,321,106,308 shares held in CEDE & CO.

PHXGOLD MEMEBER OF BOD EXPLAINS THAT NONE OF THE CERTS FROM THE MASTER LIST HIT WERE DUMPED INTO THE MARKET. LATER IT WAS CORROBORATED BY THE POST ABOVE THAT NONE OF THE CERTS HANDED OUT HIT THE STREET OR THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN STREET NAME AT THE DTCC:

ill say it again you cannot find a single issuance to cede and co. directly from the company to raise capital. since 2002 before uc came along. see. every shares issued had a name on it. every share issuance can be traced to a certificate issued to a person not to cede. from start to finish. every share started in someones hands directly from the company in cert form. either the sec ignored thousands if not hundreds of thousands of violations of rule 144 or something else is happening. Pedro posted some info about the share releases from the a/s increase to 800b but quickly removed it as it proved the shares were issued to specific individuals in cert form in canada. and not dumped by the co on the market. but that proved something other than his point. once realized it was removed quickly. much like the actions of the dtcc on their site.
You should remember that the simplest explanation, containing the fewest assumptions, is usually correct.
your right treyb the simpelest is probably true so here we go. remember GB's graph shows shares surrendered and volume spikes almost identical? well go back and look at Pedros exibits Most of those shares are issued and surrendered the same day. looks pretty bleak huh!
I meanlooks like uc and friends got those shares issued and sold them the same day right?
well if the T/A cut the certs and handed them directly to someone right now. and they went directly to theyre broker how long would it take for that cert to be processed by the broker. then sent to the dtcc and processed then sent back to the T/A and processed out as surrendered in the T/A books? Remember alot of these entities are canadian also.
Now which answer is the simplest?
1) those shares were issued and handed directly to all of those individuals then taken directly to a brokerage, processed thru the broker, dtcc and back to the T/A and processed out as surrendered on the very same day?
2) is it possible that the shares never left the building?
which is the easiest answer?
i just find it interresting that there was so mouch interrest in the stock the very days the shares were surrendered compared to the days they werent. its almost spooky huh. but If the interrest was self generated meaning that there was an entity that picked up all or most of the"surrendered shares taht makes the chart more logical IMO. We do know with Reg D shares that they have to be registered that means that the transactions have to run thru a broker but what about the s registered shares. what if cmkm llc thats in canada took posession of the s shares in cananda. that would mean no registration needed as they are forign entities. and it would also allow uc to pick up shares thru the entitiy in canada without requireing a form 3 because the s registration dosent require disclosure and they are not controlled shares. just some thoughts as to how those shares could be issued and surrendered in the T/a's books the very same day normal avanues imo are physically impossible. jmo

If we are going to use Pedro's numbers and GB's graphs, then the simplest explanation is that no NSS exists, since the O/S gets reconciled to the 778 billion figure.
ok thats if thats the simplest explaination to you can you let us know how is and i say if the entities that were issued these shares and if they were sitting at the T/A's office waiting for the certs how they got to theyre brokerages signed the certs the broker processed them drove them to the dtcc then the dtcc drove them to the T/A to be processed out all in the same day? Maybe for someone from Nevada but what about the canadian entities? I know when Ive ordered certs from the Time that Jeff has told me tghey were issued to the time I got them has averaged about 10 days that just 1 trip. But if they were issued directly from the T/A mail in a perfect world would take at least 3 days to recieve them locally

Also look at the A/S increases in feb 2004 and March 2004 those percentages were increasing from 97b to 200b was voted on by 55% then 200b to 500b Voted on by 65% If your diluting by selling as well as increasing the O/S how does you voting percentage go Up? ~Phx

EVERY SHARE ON BILL FRIZZELL'S CD THAT WAS A BROKER'S STATEMENT WAS NAKED OR A FAIL, BELOW EVERY SHARE NOT IN CERT FORM IS NAKED AND WHY BILL COULD SAY HE HAD IRREFUTABLE PROOF OF THE NAKED SHORT HE DIDSept 30, 2005
Greetings Group Members,
I have received several emails of late inquiring about our naked short investigation. We have continued to tally shares by people that have sent their statements to us but the numbers are not changing significantly. We proved a huge naked short position in this company a long time ago. Our documentation substantiates 482 billion shares (approximately) owned by 11557 shareholders. This does not include cert holders. FRIZZELL LAW FIRM

Re: FOIA Request on behalf of CMKX Shareholders
This request is being made on behalf of 5,050 shareholders of CMKX stock. These shareholders own over 300 billion shares of common stock. This number does not include shareholders who possess certificates of ownership. A current NOBO/OBO list has confirmed that there exists a minimum of 59,669 accounts in various firms with holdings of CMKX. A December 2004 certificate detail report from the transfer agent states that 2033 people hold certificates of ownership. Those certificates represent 326 billion shares being held by individuals other than Cede and Co. By these numbers 626 billion shares are owned by only 7,083 shareholders. The company states that 703 billion shares are issued and outstanding. The CMKX shareholders that own the balance of the 59,669 accounts (an estimated 50,000) are confirmed owners of the remaining of the outstanding stock. I trust you can understand our need for the information requested in this document. I will be glad to provide you with documentation of my group’s share ownership upon your request.
NOTICE THE CHANGE FROM THE DECEMBER 2004 CERT LIST TO THE MARCH 4TH 2005 CERT LIST, NONE OF THE SHARE RAISES HIT THE MARKET AT ALL
In the March 4, 2005 press release, the Company disclosed it had 703,518,875,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding to approximately 2,032 stockholders of record (excluding shares held in "street name")."

Now, what about the Unknown “Street Name†stocks? That is what the certificate pull was about, to identify the actual owners of both unknown and known “Street Name†stocks. What is the known and unknown amount? It is somewhere located in the following Task Force Count and the shares presently not certed. The counterfeiting of shares is huge, imho.
ALL THESE SHARES ARE NAKED OR THE COVER AS ALL SHARES AT THIS MOMENT IN THE COMPANY ARE HELD IN CERT FORM From March 17, 2005 through April 29, 2005 CMKM traded publicly, in the US under the trading symbol “CMKX,†a total of 551,756,751,833 shares, an average share volume of more than 17 billion shares per day, reaching a maximum on April 21, 2005 of 94,654,588,201 shares. These figures do not include foreign trades nor trades made on an ex-clearing basis.
"Ms. Bagley, just so that we understand the difference between issued, surrendered, and outstanding shares, suppose hypothetically I have a certificate -- I'm issued a certificate for 100 shares," Ms. Hakala began. "And that's the only issuance, that's the only thing going on. What would issued, surrendered and outstanding be?"
Ms. Bagley explained that there would be 100 issued shares, no surrendered shares and 100 outstanding shares.
"Okay," Ms. Hakala said. "If I then sell my -- transfer -- want you to transfer my hundred shares, I sell them to my co-counsel, Mr. Glynn here, so that now he has the hundred shares and I no longer have anything, what would the issued, surrendered, and outstanding be?"
"The issued would be 200, the surrendered would be a hundred, and the outstanding would be a hundred," Ms. Bagley replied.
"So is it correct that the outstanding number of shares is the most accurate number to know how many shares of stock issued by the company are out in circulation?" Ms. Hakala asked.

With all due respect CURTISRP, the implication that there are "50,000" CMKX shareholders is getting old, very old.
Doesn't it bug any other CMKM Diamonds, Inc shareholders, besides Sparky, that the management of a company that has been revoked from trading for over three years can't seem to provide its shareholders with an "EXACT" number of shareholders?
Let's be Faulking real here!!
Even back at the revocation hearings the shareholder base was repeatedly described as being between 40,000 and 60,000.
Let's stop right there for a minute; for after all, there is a 50% disparity between 40k and 60k! Specifically, 60k is 50% bigger than 40k.
Now let's carry this a step further. Since the infamous revocation, countless shareholders with whom Sparky has communicated directly have split their holdings several ways. In Sparky's case, for example, he has distributed - post cert pull - CMKX shares to 13 brand new shareholders - people who never owned a single share pre-revocation.
Similarly, Sparky knows of many shareholders who have set up Dynasty Trusts, which also resulted in the splitting of shares.
And as if all the post-revocation splits aren't more than enough reason to suspect that CMKX shareholders are being deliberately kept in the dark on this "size-of-the-shareholder-base" issue; what about the hiring of Dr Suzanne Trimbath for the purposes of conducting a shareholder audit? Did she shed no more light on this should-be-simple issue? And if so, why in the Faulk is the company's CEO when writing to the President of this once-great country still using this tired old 50k shareholders number?
And lastly, send a CMKX cert over to the company's "new" transfer agent right now and just watch how long it takes to get a CMKX cert cancelled, split, and reissued. Try over a week! And supposedly this is because they are "very busy" and because they are fulfilling requests on a "first come first serve basis." Busy doing what?!
Something smells very, very fishy here folks; and it's not a dead fish.
In Sparky's statistically-based opinion, there are WELL over 100,000 CMKX shareholders, perhaps even double that; and those in the know know it too!
All IMHO, of course ~
Sparky
Nice reply sparky buddy. Thank you.
