Entrepreneur,

Learner of "Life's" Lessons

Hello and Welcome to my web site! I hope I can help you! If you are under Indictment or have been sued by the SEC, I will be able to help. Why? Because I’ve been there, done that. I have knowledge from the other side. So, stay positive and let me help to guide you through the MAZE. Because the Justice system is a MAZE. Anyone who has simply been pulled over for a driving ticket knows the beginning of the Justice system. Keyword “Bureaucracy”.

 

My main objective with this web site is to help others to deal with their past while I deal with my own. As well as, write about what really happened in 2004. And what continually happens today in my own life based upon what is and has been said about me online for many, many years. Time for me to take action! After all, there are NO saints reading this posting. You are either a person in trouble, has caused trouble or someone that knows, loves or cares about you. I understand it all and am available to help you. : )

 

If you would like to schedule a brief conversation together to discuss your challenges, please fill out this contact form or call me directly at 312-532-1048.

 

I had for years been very successful in the business of Internet Marketing. It’s true I used bulk email to promote various opportunities. One of them being Investor Awareness for publicly traded companies. I also used PPC (Pay per click), direct mail, TV, Pop-up ads, faxes. I paid for advertising, there was nothing I was doing that was wrong as all my ads online had disclaimers & disclosure according to rules and regulations. My problems started because I didn’t do due diligence on the people behind a company called CNDD (Concorde America). If anyone was to take the time to read these disclaimers the first thing they would see it say is: “Do Not Buy this Stock…” Why did we say that? We wanted people to know that they should research the company prior to purchasing the stock as was outlined in the rest of the disclaimer.

 

Bottom line at the end of the day all the companies were researched by our writers and the CEO’s were interviewed and most of the companies CEO’s were even video interviewed with the writers of the research reports.

 

I’m tired of people judging me for a story that is online about me. It’s not a true story, only a story created by one guy. Personally, I believe he was a stock “Shorter” and a part of a syndicate of “Shorters”. By driving the stock price down with negative publicity, he / others, were able to cause “FEAR” in the marketplace from Individual Investors. It’s very similar to the Herbalife situation that has now circled the media since January of 2013 and continues today. Look it up and read about how some people who want to make money can push a sphere of negative news towards something while they reap the rewards of that negativity.

 

If you do not know how the stock market works, then here’s a little lesson. Just as you buy stock to make money as it goes up, you can “short” stock to make it go down. And there are many other things you can do in between. End of lesson.

 

What was Prison like?

 

Here is my side of the story. If you like, first read what is said, then read what was happening in my life in 2004 (today it’s 2014).

 

First off, the author of the piece about me on JunkFax.org is a guy named Steve Kirsch. I never met Steve Kirsch, nor did I ever talk to him. All I know is that he called me numerous times as he did everyone else that I knew or know on this mostly BS storyline. While calling various people in this article he also was known to impersonate being a lawyer, a member of the FBI, SEC and other enforcement agencies to scare people into talking to him. I never played his game.

 

Here is his first comment about me in his “story about me” on the Internet.

 

Like Jaynes, Kos is also a top ROKSO e-mail spammer (see ROKSO page on Kos). However, he wasn't as successful as Jaynes. In early 2003, he didn't have much available cash.

 

Who cares how much cash I have or had?

 

Born and lived in the US (Sunnyvale CA, Scottsdale AZ, and Chicago IL). Went to high school at St. Viator High in Arlington Heights, IL. He's now based in Quebec partly because he thinks he'd be harder to get there and partly because his wife Caroline is from there. Kos and Jaynes hooked up in 2000 and are the top people which is consistent with their psych profile as well (i.e., they don't take orders from anyone). According to one of Kos' former associates I spoke with, Kos, like Kevin Katz (of fax.com), is very charming and charismatic in person. People want to like him and help him. Just like Katz, his charisma creates a huge sense of loyalty to him that transcends their better judgment.

 

Again “Who cares where I grew up and where I went to High School?” I lived in Canada because I love Canada and I was busy raising my awesome children. I was hardly trying to escape anyone or anything. I never met or knew Kevin Katz.

 

Kos is co-founder of SGNJ, a heavily promoted WSP stock. Not really surprising because the profit margins are much higher on a pump and dump when you own the whole company, rather than do it for someone else.

 

I was a co-founder of SGNJ and I wasn’t “Pumping and Dumping” anything. I was doing what everyone in the Investment industry does which was raising money so that we could buy Storage facilities.

 

Kos' ROKSO page says this: "Another long time spammer. Normally spams for hire using free websites or "fake free websites" that either he, or a spamming partner run. Normally spams porn and illegal stock hyping schemes."

 

I never spammed porn sites.

 

Kos's main company is Internet Opportunities aka IOPS Inc aka www.i-ops.com aka Internet Promos LLC aka BK Ventures aka XTR Capital Resources, LLC based in Canada (see the ROKSO page for more info). He started IOPS around 1996. IOPS actually stands for "Internet Optimized Promotion Services."

 

Kos is quite diversified as he describes in this e-mail excerpt from 2001 where he is recruiting for talent:

 

Internet Promos is an Internet company that owns an ever-growing number of Internet Properties. We own a Financial Education Center including many Financial Newsletters, Dating Services, as well as many additional Free Newsletters on diverse topics (such as: Health, Travel, Credit, Taxation, etc.) as well as an Internet Public Relations Firm specializing in the promotion of Public companies.

 

Note that he forgot to mention his porn business. Here's just one of the websites he created to promote the I-OPS turnkey porn business: Koss porn promo.pdf. Kos will supply the porn expertise and marketing guidance; you run it.

 

I find this very interesting. Prior to being involved in the Internet business I was in the 900# industry where I owned numerous types of 900#’s as well as sold these services to individuals for many seminar companies. This opportunity was nothing different. Many major public companies such as Hyatt, Hilton, Starwood (Hotels) sell porn in their hotel rooms. Porn is a legal business. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it!

 

As noted in the writeup, IOPS provides "investor relations services" as one of their core businesses. Investor Relations (IR) is the euphemism that they use to describe their illegal "pump and dump" stock promo business. For example, they provided "investor relations service" to Advanced Optics Electronics Inc. according to their SEC Form SB-S/A Filing of 9/21/01.

 

I never promoted a company called Advanced Optics. I don’t know of it.

 

He's been involved with promoting a lot of stocks including the WSP stocks as well as the stocks listed in the next paragraph.

 

In 2000, Kos, started with Steve Reid (THE WIZZ KID) using the names "MOEBIUS-Emerging Company Reporter", Moebius "STOCK PICKS." In 2001, Kos switched to Heysek as "The Penny Stock Picker" and The Heysek Report and Micro-Caps News. From April 2001 to April 2003, Kos and crew promoted the following roster companies: Wasatch Pharmaceutical (WSPH), Ziasun (ZSUN), UICO, ARSN, ESPB, ZABC, FASI, TELI, DDD, First Aid Direct (FADI) in 2001, Thaon Communications Inc. (THAO) in April 2001, VisualMED Clinical Systems (VSMD), Regency Group Limited (RGNC), MLM World News Today, Inc. (MLMS), Biomerica Inc. (BMRA), HouseHold Direct, Inc. (BYIT), CastPro.com (KPRC), Internet Venture Group, Inc. (ITVI), NanoPierce Technologies, Inc (NPCT.OB), KCS Energy, Inc. (KCS), Parallel Petroleum Corporation (PLLL), Contango Oil & Gas Company (MCF), American Bio Medica Corporation (ABMC), Bradley Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BPRX), Lynx Therapeutics, Inc. (LYNX), Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (QSC), Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN), Derma Sciences, Inc. (DSCI.OB), Endocardial Solutions Inc. (ECSI), I-trax.com, Inc. (IMTX.OB), inTEST Corporation (INTT), MDSI Mobile Data Solutions Inc. (MDSI), Vital Images, Inc. (VTAL), EP MedSystems, Inc (EPMD), eUniverse, Inc. (EUNI), Ostex International, Inc. (OSTX), Carroll Shelby International Inc. (OTC BB:CSBI), and Genius Products, Inc. (GNPI).

 

And?

 

Kos also promoted Geoffrey Eiten's OTCFN.com aka OTC Financial Network (OTCFN) a full-service financial communications and investor relations firm that specializes in emerging micro-cap companies listed on the OTC Bulletin Board (see Stock Profit About Us showing Kos' promotion). More about Geoffrey Eiten can be found here, Eiten posting on Silicon Investor, but the article is incorrect as I only found that Kos promoted OTCFN.

 

Here's more on Geoffrey Eiten aka Geoffrey J. Eiten:

 

  • From New York Post Online Edition, Geoffrey J. Eiten: Arrested, convicted and sentenced to prison in 1984 for cocaine possession with intent to distribute, Eiten was dismissed by his next six post-incarceration employers, and thereafter opened a Web-based penny-stock touting firm called OTC Financial Network. The Web site lists none of his previous brokerage-industry employers, though it speaks of the "high esteem" in which he is held in the investment community and the fact that he has appeared as a "guest analyst" on CNBC's "Squawk Box" cable TV show.

  • for more info, do a SiteSearch on Investrend.com for articles about Eiten, and the services he allegedly uses to hype LocatePLUS Holdings Corp (OTCBB: LPLHA), including TheSubway.com.

 

I met Geoffrey Eiten one time via the phone. I never promoted his OTCFN.com newsletter.

 

I obtained a copy of the Genius Products, Inc. contract with Kos, for example. The short story is that he gets paid based on a fixed dollar value of the stock calculated right before the promo starts. Specifically, in this particular case, the payments are:

 

  • $50,000 in shares - price per share to be that on the day that the Company gives the "go-ahead"

  • $25,000 in stock due the day the Company gives the "go-ahead"

  • $25,000 due 30 days after "go-ahead" date

 

Therefore, Kos is incentivized to blow up the price as high as he can so he (and the company that hired him) can sell their shares at the inflated price.

 

The promotion for Genius Products was not about promoting their stock. It was a promotion of their products not their stock. I was paid in stock and I was paid based apon the stock price. This is very common in any payment program when someone is paid in stock.

 

Here's some more info on NanoPierce, for example, which Kos promoted sometime around April 2002:

 

The CEO of NanoPierce has been sued by the SEC three times for fraud. Their current stock promoter and past stock promoter is currently being sued for securities fraud for illegally promoting the scam stock.

 

See Nanopierce Technologies Inc., NPCT Paul Metzinger CEO, potential securities fraud NPCT.ob

 

Note: the author of that page is being sued by the current stock promoter for libel, but has won the first 5 rounds.

 

I did not promote nor did I know of a company called Nanopierce.

 

Here's a screenshot of the i-ops home page on April 18, 2001, showing The Penny Stock Picker and The Heysek Report: i-opsHeysekReport4-18-01.pdf.

 

Here's a writeup on THAO on i-ops.com in April 2001: Thaon Communications Inc. (THAO)

 

Here's the pitch i-ops.com used to solicit "investor relations" (IR) business: i-ops.com Investor Relations "pitch"

 

Here is Bryan Kos management team. Caroline (who is listed on that page) is his wife, Caroline Kos aka Caroline Archambault. The key thing here is that the two top executives are Kos and Heysek.

 

In his SEC deposition, Bryan (like Oehmke) basically answered "Fifth Amendment" to most of the questions. In his answer to the SEC complaint, he denied everything.

 

His attorneys are William Nortman (based in Florida), and his long-time counsel, David J. Levenson (Potomac, Maryland).

 

I have no idea why I was ever indicted with David Hagen in April of 2008 – I did not know David Hagen and only met him once on a webinar in September of 2004 when Howell Woltz asked me to invest $500,000. For his company. I did not invest.

 

I had been presented a Plea offer by the States attorney of North Carolina in August of 2006 that I never accepted. My thoughts are that after numerous attempts to indict me with a grand jury they did not have evidence of any criminal action by me. So, the way they were able to indict me was to “Bundle” me with David Hagen. Once indicted I had no chance of defending myself especially using the services of the Federal Defenders office. Federal Defenders are overworked and underpaid compared to their counterparts. Most Federal / Public Defenders work for the public sector long enough to reach the top pay grade when they then leave to defend the same people they once prosecuted. This is also true of the SEC (Security Exhange Commission). Most top officials of the SEC go on to very lucrative careers defending the same people they once prosecuted.

 

No matter what is said about me wheter true or not the bottom line is I was involved in bringing Investor Awareness to companies. I did it through email marketing, PPC (Pay Per click), “Paid” advertising”, Faxes, Pop-up ads, Newspaper, TV, Direct Mail, etc…

 

All paid for upfront by me and my partners. What I was doing was legitimate advertising with complete Disclaimers & Disclosure. The beginning of our Disclaimers started with “DO NOT BUY THIS STOCK” and went on from there. In the years following 2004 when I left the business of stock promotion it never ceases to amaze me how many stock promoters and public companies still go up and down. That is the nature of the stock industry. Speculation!

 

Either way, I’m alive and well in 2014, I served 2.5 years in Federal Prison Camps in Atlanta, Duluth MN, and Pekin, IL. I also stayed a week in the “Hole” in Terre Haute, IN (while being moved to Duluth to compete the RDAP (Residential Drug & Alcohol Program), and one week at the MCC (Metropolitan Correctional Complex) in Chicago.

 

I paid my price, I did my time, and it’s over.

 

If I can help you in any way, let me know. I have a broad range of business experience, expertise in marketing and I’m a cool guy! When I say help you in any way what I mean is helping you with marketing, promotion, sales, or if you are going to prison or have been indicted I can shed a lot of light on that as well. I’m happy to help!

 

Have a great day!

 

Bryan Scott Kos
