Took them so d*mn long everyone died before sentencing

[nudo]

I just want to thank you Portrush and all admins for all the years of keeping a person like me informed...it is very heart wrenching for all these years to go by without the DOJ giving us that there is no one left alive to get restitution from, they all died before sentencing which makes me sick that the DOJ, and all responsible wasted years on end without informing us of anything. Thanks to all who worked hard to keep the legacy alive until today. Stay safe all who are on the boards. Thank you again.

[abby52]

Again no evidence of a trust with funds for Shareholders.

That's it.

Thanks for giving us a place to meet Port.
Wish it had worked out in our favor.

nudo,

I can't speak for the others--but for myself, it was my pleasure to serve CMKXnation all these years. I did so more from a servant's heart than a need to feel important. I am nobody special and never claimed to be...just wanted us to see positive closure. So THANK YOU for your kind words. They mean a lot. The greatest "treasure" we have to take-away at this point is the friendships made and in many/most cases, there isn't a price to be put on those.

Thanks Port and everyone else that posted here over the years! Wish the best for everyone!

DOJ "washing of the hands". Now to the brokers, DTTC and others. We shall see if there is another leg to this CMKM story. IMHO

[vulcanized crawler]

i left the number in my shoe and the dog ate it. anything happen? or should i wait another 20 yrs? im guessing i made the restitution list and expect my check for at least 25 dollars any day now. thats 25 dollars total, not per share.

[portrush]

I hesitate to post this because I surely don't want to foster false hope. Seems pretty clear; restitution is looking unlikely based on no assets reclaimed or claimable. If they cannot issue $25 per person for the approx 1000 who qualify, then they only have $25K. Can’t do much with that.

It was interesting where they disavowed naked shorting. They did not say it didn’t exist just that the defendants did not participate in it. But it wouldn’t be the defendants that did NSS, it would be the brokerages, would it not? And didn't they reclassify it as FTD? Failing to deliver that which they sold...because they didn't have it? THAT might be where F&P has a place in this saga, but how could it ever be made public?

Regardless, if there is life beyond April I cannot see the pathway today. Not saying it isn't there, not saying it is. Just observing and trying to keep it all in context. If I got my original investment back I would be thrilled. Who wouldn't? The more disappointing notion maybe the amount of time and energy folks invested in dreams and hopes that returned flatlined. This is where it will take an extra dose of fortitude to step up, shelve it and look forward while moving on.

I've been painted wacko for maintaining this thought--but I don't think we were asked to pull certs for nothing, nor that the backstory at brokerages during the process was moot. I've long believed it was a sting and if true it will never be admitted to...perhaps at our expense.

It isn't over until they declare it done. Next target: April.

Soi should be looking extra hard for the FED EX truck! Now that this faze of the operation is over?? Lol

[Santasi]

I would like to give my thanks to Portrush for being there for us all these years and Manny for giving 1MM refugees a place to land.

I'm drained of all hope. I have wasted too many years to get less than $25.

I'm done! I will try to keep reading the boards but right now I'm just in mental pain.
