On May 18, 2023, Mark Miller became the last of three men to be sentenced for a securities fraud scheme that involved hijacking several abandoned penny stocks, then using them for an illegal pump-and-dump stock manipulation scheme. Miller pleaded guilty to count 1 of the Indictment, Conspiracy to Commit Securities Fraud, and was sentenced to 12 months and 1 day in prison, followed by 2 years of supervised release...
CNNA recently appointed Jason Tucker, former CEO of LEAS, as its new CEO, giving it yet another connection to past Miller frauds. And according to SAPX OTC disclosures, on December 27, 2022, all the debt notes previously put in the name of Capitol Capital Corporation were transferred to an entity named Via Capital, represented in the SAPX filings by Jesus Cipriano, keeping the notes active despite Mark Millerโs various legal issues. Via Capital immediately started converting the debt into large chunks of free trading stock, including 150,000,000 shares on December 28, 2022, 150,000,000 shares on February 21, 2023, and 180,000,000 shares on March 6, 2023. SAPX has also begun to issue new debt notes to Via Capital.

SEC Charges 18 Defendants in International Scheme to Manipulate Stocks Using Hacked US Brokerage Accounts
Litigation Release No. 25469 / August 16, 2022
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Rahim Mohamed, Davies ("Dave") Wong, Glenn B. Laken, Richard C.S. Tang, Zoltan Nagy, Jeffrey D. Cox, Phillip G. Sewell, Breanne M. Wong, Christophe Merani, Anna Tang, Robert W. Seeley, Richard B. Smith, Christopher R. Smith, H.E. Capital SA, POP Holdings Ltd., Maximum Ventures Holdings LLC, Harmony Ridge Corp., and Avatele Group LLC, Defendants, and 9224-3708 Quebec, Inc., a/k/a Distributions Bano, and Jason Black, Relief Defendants, No. 1:22-cv-03252 (N.D. Ga. filed Aug. 15, 2022)
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged 18 individuals and entities for their roles in a fraudulent scheme in which dozens of online retail brokerage accounts were hacked and improperly used to purchase microcap stocks to manipulate the price and trading volume of those stocks. Those charged include Rahim Mohamed of Alberta, Canada, who is alleged to have coordinated the hacking attacks, and several others in and outside the U.S. who allegedly benefited from or participated in the scheme.
According to the SEC's complaint, in late 2017 and early 2018, hackers accessed at least 31 U.S. retail brokerage accounts and used them to purchase the securities of Lotus Bio-Technology Development Corp. and Good Gaming, Inc. The unauthorized purchases allegedly enabled fraudsters, who already controlled large blocks of Lotus Bio-Tech and Good Gaming stock, to sell their holdings at artificially high prices and reap more than $1 million in illicit proceeds. According to the complaint, Davies Wong of British Columbia, Canada, and Glenn B. Laken of Illinois, respectively, controlled the majority of the Lotus Bio-Tech and Good Gaming stock that was sold while the hacking attacks were being carried out, and Mohamed coordinated with Davies Wong, Laken, and others to orchestrate the attacks. The complaint also alleges that Richard Tang of British Columbia, Canada, was involved with both the Lotus Bio-Tech and Good Gaming schemes.
The SEC's complaint charges violations of the antifraud and beneficial ownership reporting provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), and names two relief defendants who received proceeds from the hacks. More specifically, the complaint charges the following defendants with the following violations:
โข Rahim Mohamed of Alberta, Canada, with directly violating, and aiding and abetting violations of, Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, and Sections 9(a) and 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder;
ย
โข Davies Wong of British Columbia, Canada, Richard Tang of British Columbia, Canada, Zoltan Nagy of British Columbia, Canada, Anna Tang of British Columbia, Canada, and Breanne Wong of British Columbia, Canada and Panama, with directly violating, and aiding and abetting violations of, Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and directly violating Sections 13(d) and 16(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 13d-1 and 16a-3 thereunder;
ย
โข Glenn B. Laken of Illinois, Jeffrey Cox of Alberta, Canada, Christophe Merani of Illinois, and Phillip Sewell of British Columbia, Canada, with directly violating, and aiding and abetting violations of, Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder;
ย
โข Robert Seeley of the Dominican Republic, Christopher R. Smith of the Dominican Republic, Richard B. Smith of the Dominican Republic, Wyoming entity Harmony Ridge Corp., and Nevis entities H.E. Capital SA and POP Holdings Ltd., with aiding and abetting violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder;
ย
โข Wyoming entity Maximum Ventures Holdings LLC, with aiding and abetting violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and directly violating Sections 13(d) and 16(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 13d-1 and 16a-3 thereunder; and
ย
โข Wyoming entity Avatele Group LLC, with directly violating Sections 13(d) and 16(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 13d-1 and 16a-3 thereunder.
The SEC's complaint also names Quebec, Canada entity 9224-3708 Quebec Inc., a/k/a Distributions Bano, and Jason Black of California and/or Georgia, as relief defendants. The SEC seeks the return of ill-gotten gains plus interest, penalties, bars, and other equitable relief. The SEC's investigation is continuing.

Office, and Patrick McCluskey of the Philadelphia Regional Office, with the assistance of Marlee Miller and Owen Granke of the SEC's Office of International Affairs. The case is being supervised by Acting Chief of the Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit Carolyn Welshhans, Market Abuse Unit Chief Joseph Sansone, Justin Jeffries and Natalie Brunson of the Atlanta Regional Office, and Amy Flaherty Hartman of the Chicago Regional Office. Robert Gordon and William Hicks of the Atlanta Regional Office will lead the SEC's litigation, supervised by M. Graham Loomis.

Hence shares were sold to continue paying the bills in the meantime IMHO!
Or to scam investors by stringing them along with some future "deal." Good news for this scam and it's scamming management is always in the future as they scam and pocket investors' money while the good news never arrives.
Mark Miller and Jason Black have a long history of scamming investors here and with other penny stocks. Now they added Jason Tucker to help with the scam.
https://www.securitieslawyer101.com/2023/shell-hijacker-mark-miller-sentenced-to-one-year-in-prison/
Public records show that Capitol Capital Corporation has also been involved as a noteholder in at least three other public issuers that used Jason Black as the CEO, MedX Holdings Inc (MEDH), Cann American Corp (CNNA), and Seven Arts Entertainment, Inc (SAPX).
CNNA recently appointed Jason Tucker, former CEO of LEAS, as its new CEO, giving it yet another connection to past Miller frauds. And according to SAPX OTC disclosures, on December 27, 2022, all the debt notes previously put in the name of Capitol Capital Corporation were transferred to an entity named Via Capital, represented in the SAPX filings by Jesus Cipriano, keeping the notes active despite Mark Millerโs various legal issues. Via Capital immediately started converting the debt into large chunks of free trading stock, including 150,000,000 shares on December 28, 2022, 150,000,000 shares on February 21, 2023, and 180,000,000 shares on March 6, 2023. SAPX has also begun to issue new debt notes to Via Capital.
Capitol Capital Corp (Mark Miller) mentioned in the article above as an instrument for fraud is still listed as noteholders/shareholders in the company on the most recently filed annual report.
There is no way the SEC will approve a Form 10 from this scam company.
https://www.securitieslawyer101.com/2023/shell-hijacker-mark-miller-sentenced-to-one-year-in-prison/
Court documents show that Capitol Capital Corporation received several big chunks of stock in IGEX, then transferred the shares to Tiger Trout Capital LLC, a Puerto Rican entity controlled by Alan Masley. A bank statement from December 2019 provided in the lawsuit shows that Tiger Trout Capital LLC would then transfer money back to Capitol Capital Corporation, who, in turn, split the money between Mark Miller and Jason Black (Market Cap Concepts LLC). At the time, Jason Black was the CEO of IGEX, and none of the debt conversions were disclosed in any of the IGEX OTC filings.
Public records show that Capitol Capital Corporation has also been involved as a noteholder in at least three other public issuers that used Jason Black as the CEO, MedX Holdings Inc (MEDH), Cann American Corp (CNNA), and Seven Arts Entertainment, Inc (SAPX).
