On November 16, 2011, Aaron Seeds Lamkm was barred from association with any broker or dealer by the

SEC for his role in the illegal distribution and sale of Xpention Genetics, Inc. (XPNG) and HS3 Technologies,

Inc. 00TH) stock. The Complaint describes a stock promotion scam very similar to recent

AwesomePennyStock promotions.

Lamkm is a 34 year old Castle Rock, Colorado resident and graduate of Colorado State University.

Also barred in the same SEC litigation was Larnkin's fraternity brothers, Scott F Gelbard and Jeff Kuslosky,

and their company, The Regency Group, LLC. Through some recent research I have been able to uncover

some very noteworthy connections behveen Aaron S. Larnkin, Stott F. Gelbard. and AwesomePennyStocks

(APS).

The Regency Group, LLC was founded in Denver, Colorado in 1999 by Scott Gelbard. Soon after founding

The Regency Group, LLC Scott brought in Aaron Lamkin and Jeff Koslosky as trusted partners. In 2001 the

4th eventual partner of the firrn arrived, Brien Cook. Each partner of the company graduated from Colorado

State University. Below is a photo of Jeff. Aaron, and Brian in 2008 at a charity golf tournament.

No firm doing business in the stock market can exist for long without legal council. In 2004, The Regency

Group LLC built a close business relationship with SEC veteran, now private security attorney Michael

Littman, Michael Littman, operating in Denver, CO, often spoke at PIPES conferences.

In this 2005 order made by the SEC, Michael Littman is found connected to many revoked entities based in

Colorado.

Listed as a Partner with The Regency Group, LLC on the Regency Group website was Windfall

Communications LLC. Windfall Communications LLC is run by Trevor Justus (another Colorado State

University Alum) and Brian Cook. The same Brian Cook once listed as the 4th partner in The Regency Group

LLC.

Brian Cook went Onto become the CEO of Tranzbyte Corp (ERBB). Trevor Justus became his Vice-

President. Legal Counsel for ERBB was William B. Haselfine.

Back on September 10, 2009, Windfall Communications LLC received 56,000 from Diane Dalmy for 03 month

investor relations contract to answer incoming calls and investor inquires regarding Genova Biotherapeutics

Inc (GVBP). A second investors relations contract extent!. for 6 months was requested and signed by Genova

Bmtherapeutics CEO, Aaron Whiteman, on September 24th. 2009. The value of the contract was $10,000 per

month.

Genova Biotherapeutics stock was halted by the SEC on 9/23/09.

Diane DaImy also of Colorado was added to the SEC's prohibited attorney's list on 9/25/09.

The attorney for Genova Biotherapeutics Inc (GVBP) in May of 2009 was Luis Camille. The same Luis Carrillo

often found linked to recent APS plays.

The attorney for Genova Bratherapeutics Inc (GVBP) starting in July of 2009 was Diane Dalrny. Diane Da/my

has also served as legal counsel for Lamlon, Gelbard, and Koslosky's current business venture, Apis

Ventures LLC. Other business ventures connected to Aaron Larnkin include Austere Consultants, LLC and

Tech World Capital, Inc (KARE) On June 4, 2010, KARE signed a LOI with Mistral Ventures, Inc (MILV). On

June 17, 2010 the LOI was canceled. The accountant for KARE was Allen Srnethers.

Aaron Larnkin also authored all of the 2010 MILV OTC filings. This was the same exact time that Jeffrey

Srnuda took over as the CEO of MILV. Legal Counsel for MILV during the Smuda/Larnkin era was hen nuke.

!rake is a Srnuda regular. Smuda does a lot of front work for Chris Benz and Arrrar Bahadoorsingh (both out

of LAT Leo 'rake (aka heonnel lruke) also represented AwesordePennyStocks (Marketing Integrale Co.) in

some civil cases Including this one from March of 2011 and this one from April of 2012.

MILV became an AwesomePennyStocks (APS) pick In October of 2011. The share price rose from under

1.02/share to around 1.14/share before quickly crashing down under 0.01 'share. The stock now sits at

around 0.003 'share. The APS pump seemed to be run to support the dumping of 200,000,000 shares held by

an anonymous foreign entity known as Ludwig Holdings Limited and 105,000,000 shares held by Smuda and

his cohorts (silent associates). Past research available here and here.

Another shell linked to Jeffrey Smuda and his silent associates is Capital City Corp (CTCC) which was

suspended on April 13, 2012. The suspension was quickly followed by litigation and a complaint against

CTCC and its former CEO, Ephran J Taylor II.

Jeffrey Smuda can also be linked to XNEZ (along with Allen Srnethers), OPLO (along with William B.

Haseltine), PHMB (which was previously known as ABV Gold Inc - Dan Ryan, Tony Papa, Alex Barta, Eric

Van Nguyen, Dale Baeten, and Diane Dalmy), and several other shells.

Another associate of theirs is Shehzed Peerrnahorned. Shehzad Peerrnahomed recently showed up as the

CEO of Salient Products Corp On April 14, 2011, Diane Dairny did an S-1 filing for Salient Products Corp.

Page 3 of 5

Salient should be getting a trading symbol soon

Could Salient be a future PAD? lire definitely one to keep an eye on.

Another close associate with Aaron Lamkin is Karim Rawji, Karim Raw)! and Shehzad Peermahorned can

both be linked to Provectus Reputo Inc. This corporationwiki page shows Shehzad Peerrnahomed as the

president of the business entity. In the TechApp Solutions SEC filings, Karim Rawg (who acts as the sole

officer/director of the future publicly traded shell) lists himself as the founder of Provectus Reputo Inc in his

bro.

"Mr. Rawji was promoted to Managing Director of the firm and in September 2010 started a management-

consulting firm, Provectus Reputo, Inc. to pursue his goal of having his own firm."

Te chApp Solutions is also awaiting a future trading symbol. This is definitely another shell to keep an eye in

the future.

CTFLA, LLC which is listed as the Resident agent for Aaron Larnkin linked PARE in this filing is linked to

Karim Rawji. CTFLA, LLC was once listed as a subsidiary of USA Signal Technology Inc (USST) linking

Karim Rawji directly to KARE and USST.

Aaron Lamkin was listed as the long time CEO of Tapslide, Inc ITSLI). TSLI which claimed to be in the wine

industry became involved with Paper Free Medical (PFMS). PFMS was being run by another Colorado

college buddy named Matt Diehl,

Aaron Larnkin married into a prosperous wine family called the Turnbull Clan.

"MEET THE FAMILY. To tell the story of XIPPER DESIGNS and how the Sipper CD and DOD opener came

about we should probably first tell you a little about our family. We are Randy and Bonnie Turnbull from

Brighton Colorado approximately 20 miles north of Denver. We have two great kids. Our daughter Amanda is

married to Aaron Lamkin. They have given us our first granddaughter, Brook:

The whole winery connection makes me think of our good buddy, Peter Evan Bell, who was used as a front

man for GWBU while insiders situated themselves for future enrichment now being played out with the current

paid promotion.

Now here Is where things go from documented information to speculation based on rumors and secondhand

information provided by various sources.

I have recently come across information that suggests that APS plays are currently pulling in between 520 -

4100 million per play. A chunk of that money is used to create volume to support the promotions. The email

newsletters alone do not create any where near INC total volume that APS plays often

generate. A lot of that volume is created by APS insiders running the box. APS insiders are spending a lot of

money on wash trading and of course they allegedly use WDCO for bid support on their plays.

I also have come across information that suggests that at some point, Aaron Larnkm and Scott Gelbard may

have gotten involved with APS taking a large cut from each of the plays or possibly even taking control of the

APS companies.

APS might have been sold or shaken up a bit back around June or July of 2011. What was formerly run by

Erik. Van Nguyen, Jey Fong, and Al Thompson may have been passed off to Aaron Lamkin, Scott Gelbard,

Karim Rawg, Shezhad Peermahomed. Ardar Bahadoorsingh and their group. This group Includes a huge

financier out of Singapore and possibly some involvement by Francisco Abelian with helping to set up some

of the Panamanian entities. More Information about Abellan's past here. Francisco Abelian spends much of

his time these days chilling on his yacht off the coast of Spam.

Recently APS has been using its riches to expand its empire. In March of 2012, APS bought the hototc stock

promotion sites from Tuyen Tran for 53,000,000 plus coverage on some deals.

The alleged timing of the change of control of APS from Van Nguyen to Larnkin, Gelbard, and company would

place the first Larnkin/Gelbard APS play as Portage Resource Inc (POTG). The first APS play under the new

Regime with close ties to the Lamkm/Gelbard group was HDS International Corp (1-IDS1).

HDSI was a shell largely run by Aaron Lamkin in the background. While awaiting his sentencing by the SEC.

Lamkin brought in Hillwinds Ocean Energy LLC which is controlled by Tassus Recachinas.

A Note for 5325K was issued to Hi!Winds Ocean Energy LLC on 8/1S/I 1. Another Note for SI 85,000 was

Issued to Senk Enterprises Inc on 8/10/11.

Serik Enterprises Inc is a Cray&Co Panamanian entity. Gray&Co Panamanian entities are commonly found

involved in APS plays.

The $185K Note was allegedly used to settle a $34.500 Note owed to Vail International Ltd for $39,187, a

$105,000 Note owed to Newton Management Ltd for 5114,177.72, $25,965 in expenses owed to Mark Simon

for $10,000. and a debt of 540.000 owed to the shell's legal counsel (probably Carrillo Huettel) for $15,000.

The Serik Enterprises Note was settled 2 days after it was issued on 8/12/11 with no explanation given as to

the terms of the settlement.

Serik Enterprises was also given a 515,000 debt Note on 7/25/1 I which was used to help settle debts shown

here and here owed to Mackie Barch (SNPK and GTCP).

Tossas Recachinas didn't bother to disclose the details about the Serik Enterprises debt Note settlement until

3 months after the fact On 11 i12/11, Tosses finally did an NEC filing disclosing that 3 months earlier on

8118/11, HDSI issued a 5500,000 debt Note to yet another Gray&Co Panamanian entity called Wiremu Inc.

On the exact same day that the Wiremu Inc Note was signed (8/18/11 ) the AwesornePennyStock (APS)

promo kicked off. That is no coincidence

Lamkin and Gelbard started building up these S-I corps 2 years ago and they have dozens in waiting all with

the potential to become the next big APS promotion.

After HDSI, Lamkin and Gelbard changed the game plan a little bit and started creating both the merger entity

and the shell. With HOSI, lassos wasn't as cooperative as they would have liked and didn't provide all the

PRs they needed to help the promo really hit the mark. With full control of all aspects of the entity and

promotion, the promotion could be much more successful.

The same people involved in the fore front with helping to originally set up the HOS' shell (Don Calabria,

Frank Hamm and Alan Collier/ can also be found involved in setting up two more shells - Massive Dynamics

Page 5: A Banned Stock Promoter

Page 5 of 5

Inc (MSSD) and Hanover Portfolio Acquisitions, Inc (HVPA) making both of those shells (which have yet to

start trading) potential future APS promotional companies.

The S-I filing for MSSD is almost identical lathe 0-1 filing that HDSI did. It even includes many of the same

seed shareholders. HVPA is a bit closer to seeing its shares start to clear for trading.

CRWV (august of 2011) - has a Panamanian entity used Ken Bart of Colorado as legal counsel and has ties

to ABOT

MILV (october of 20111 - has major ties to Lamkin and his crew as explained earlier in this post

NSRS

(november of 201 I) - has a Panamanian entity and Carrillo Huettel and ties in with SNPK ABOT

(december of 2011) - has a Panamanian entity and ties to CRWV and used Ken Bart of Colorado as legal

counsel AMWI

(december of 201 11 was left over from the old regime - was tied directly in with WRIT and PEPR (Phil

Kueber) may have been done because of some pre-arranged agreement when the APS change of control

took place During the early part of 2012 the APS domains were all moved to new servers and a few mare

domains were bought up (like the ones from Iran) expanding the APS family SNPK (march of 2012) - has

Panamanian entities and Carrillo Huettel and ties in with NSRS and HMI GWBU may of 20121

The guys that hold shares in APS deals often use 'residual" shares to promote the stocks again once APS

has moved on. Hence the few times HOS' and others have been re-promoted. Drew Ciccarelli and Gabe Nix

recently got residual leftovers on the SNPK pump.
