Puration Inc (CE) (PURA) Share Price

From at least June 2017 to June 2022, Defendants—led by Philip Verges—perpetrated a scheme to pump and dump into the market more than $112 million of stock in certain penny stock companies. Verges designed the scheme so that Blue Citi (owned by R. Malin and L. Tilton (in his individual capacity), JDT (owned by Tilton), and other accomplices that Verges nominated (the “Other Nominees”; collectively with Blue Citi, Tilton, and JDT, the “Nominees”) received heavily discounted shares in five penny stock companies: Alternet Systems, Inc. (“ALYI”), Priority Aviation, Inc. (“PJET”), Puration, Inc. (“PURA”), Vaycaychella, Inc. (“VAYK”), and WaterPure International, Inc. (“WPUR”) (collectively, the “PSCs” and individually, a “PSC”). The Nominees ultimately received at least 5.2 billion shares of stock in the PSCs at an 86.64% discount and then proceeded to dump those shares into the market. Blue Citi, Tilton, and JDT alone generated more than $52 million in trading proceeds.

Philip M Verges received a free West Point education on the taxpayers. If you have any information pertaining to his many illicit dealings, I am sure the SEC would appreciate the information.

Well maybe someone will pickup the shell..

PURA still selling dildos?

Asking for a friend, Jimmy Joe.

So what. They all are, OTC stocks. This one is in very healthy shape. I'm looking to take a position.

You are kidding, right?

You do know this is a stone cold scam run by stone cold criminals?

Really good SS. Would like to see new filings or some movement forward here.

Historically a classic p/d scam that is now totally dumped.

Philip the Scourge

And to think we (taxpayers) paid for his expensive education at West Point. YES! Philip M Verges graduated from West Point Academy. That is probably the reason he got away with scamming stocks for such a long period. SEC turned a blind eye to his shenanigans.

Philip Verges. He’s the actual owner of PURA, USMJ, KALY, PJET, NOUV. He’s a big scammer from the dot com era. His gig is he acquires companies he already owns and pays for them through issuing convertible notes so he’s really paying himself for something he already owns and then he will find a reason to hire third-party companies that he already owns to contract work through and pays himself again. A very plain example of this is USMJ which is owned by Savanah East Africa. If you look them up on OTC markets and study all the filings it’s plain as day he’s hiring companies that he owns to do supposed work for the company. If you study all the tickers I mentioned above and their previous tickets before name changes and all the names of officers listed you will find they are all connected. The most recent example of this is WSGF World Series of Golf. it was one of Phil’s companies that went belly up the ticker just went through a custodianship and guess who the new custodian is, Phil’s lawyer who helps him with all his scams. If you search my posts from 10 months to a year ago you will find several detailed posts with evidence of his scams. Please study them before you invest your money.

Congrats! Finally found a stock you may not have been wrong about. Of course you followed the rule of being gone in 3 weeks as this did turn out to be a scam company

Philip M Verges' Minions Should be Banned From iHUB.

Go back to January 2023 and note the pumpers whose posts exclaimed that PURA was going to new monetary heights.
These pumpers are just as guilty of fraud as Philip M Verges.

Philip’s Persistent Pumping Proliferation is Pummeled with Prosecution

I can tell you that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed charges (9/26/2023) against Philip Verges, James D. Tilton, Jr., et al scammers.

They ALLEGEDLY schemed to pump-and-dump more than $112 million of stock in five penny stock companies, including Puration, Inc. (PURA). The SEC alleges that the defendants perpetrated a scheme to pump and dump into the market more than $112 million of stock in certain penny stock companies.

NOTE: The evil that men do eventually catches up with them. Philip got a very, very, good education at West Point on the tax payers dollar. Philip then put that
education to use in the private enterprise sector to manipulate stocks for personal financial gain.

They all do. Waiting for a new necromancer to arrive.

"Dead scam."

Of course. But not so dead that it doesn't still have eyes on it.

Dead scam.

Does anybody know how long pura is to stay in expert market just asking for a friend

This scam is a TWIN of MCOA!! it just filed to be a NONE REPORTING COMPANY...its got 23billion shares...nothing left!! No business..no employees..no office....everything is gone!! Same as this scam!!!

I had hope but no one answered my calls or responds to email, and my shares are worthless. Last time I checked google maps told me they were closed indefinitely. Is marijuana even legal in Texas? Maybe they'll be worth something to my grandkids.

NAH I pass

Why are you posting if your post mean nothing ... I mean you re-posted a link over a year old; why? How about this ... get on an airplane, fly to where this person lives, knock on their front door and ask them for some relevant news. Then fly back and post what this guy said. That would be worthy This year + link you posted is useless !!!!! It's not fake news, old news !!!!

These are not 531 shareholders but rather 531 companies who are being listed as associated companies within the Signature Stock Transfer Company. Two different things. I'm not listed and I'm an investor ... so where am I???? I mean this site is a joke!!!! False information at best. Everybody who invest is looking to make money!!!! And if you are investing in a company on the pink sheets then you are at your own risk!!!! Stop complaining. You may have a mental illness, me included. It's not their fault you invested in them!!! It's your fault ... God all might people!!!! It's your fault. Not theirs, so instead of complaining, sell your shares and invest in a Blue Chip Stock and stop posting "FAKE NEWS".

Little volume today

getting some action here wonder what's going on?

531 Shareholders, being thrown under the Shibley-Rash bus

There hasn't been any PR about receiving the supposed Cash Infusion so this company can continue on through this Slow down. Which was announced in August 2022, It should have been received by November 20th 2022, But I don't see anything made public.
