It enabled the Mulholland Group to engage in more than 40 \u201cpump and dump\u201d schemes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For example, this structure enabled the Mulholland Group to manipulate the stock of Cynk Technology Corp, which traded on the U.S. OTC markets under the ticker symbol CYNK.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Using aliases such as \u201cStamps\u201d and \u201cCharlie Wolf,\u201d Mulholland was intercepted on a court-authorized wiretap on May 15, 2014, admitting to his ownership of \u201call the free trading\u201d or unrestricted shares of CYNK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Prior to this conversation between Mulholland and his trader at Legacy, there had been no trading in CYNK stock for 24 trading days.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Over the next two months, the stock of CYNK rose from $0.06 per share to $13.90 per share, a more than $4 billion stock market valuation for a company that had no revenue and no assets, according to federal officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Mulholland used the services of a U.S.-based lawyer to launder the more than $250 million generated through his stock manipulation of CYNK and other U.S. companies \u2013 directing the fraud proceeds to five law firm accounts and transmitting them back to members of the Mulholland Group and its co-conspirators.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">These concealment schemes also enabled Mulholland to evade reporting requirements to the IRS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The charges were brought in connection with the <strong>President\u2019s Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The task force was established to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">With more than 20 federal agencies, 94 U.S. attorneys\u2019 offices, and state and local partners, it is the broadest coalition of law enforcement, investigatory, and regulatory agencies ever assembled to combat fraud.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Since its formation, officials said the task force has made great strides in facilitating increased investigation and prosecution of financial crimes; enhancing coordination and cooperation among federal, state, and local authorities; addressing discrimination in the lending and financial markets; and conducting outreach to the public, victims, financial institutions, and other organizations.\u00a0 Since fiscal year 2009, the Justice Department has filed over 18,000 financial fraud cases against more than 25,000 defendants.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gregg R.
