SEC charges Texas man with running Bitcoin Ponzi scheme

A Texas man was charged on Tuesday in U.S. federal court with allegedly running a Bitcoin Ponzi scheme, allegedly siphoning the virtual currency from victims to pay for rent, food and gambling.

Trendon T. Shavers of McKinney, Texas, ran the Bitcoin Savings and Trust (BTCST), an investment scheme that promised 7 percent weekly returns from bitcoin trades intended to profit from market price differences in the virtual currency, according to a news release from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Instead, the 30-year-old Shavers, who went by the “Pirate” and “pirateat40,” on the popular Bitcoin Forum — is alleged to have used bitcoin investments from new investors to pay interest to early entrants to the scheme and cover withdrawals, the SEC said. He has been charged with violating parts of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Exchange Act Rule.

Shavers allegedly collected 700,000 bitcoins from investors, which the SEC calculated was worth more than US$4.5 million based on an average of bitcoin’s market price in 2011 and last year. At Wednesday’s market price, 700,000 bitcoins would be worth about $66 million.

NTRR Seeks Out Alternative Cannabinoid Treatments for Pain Management

SARASOTA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– As part of its initiative to market and develop healthier, more effective alternatives to smoking for medical marijuana patients, Neutra Corp. (OTCBB: NTRR) is currently exploring cutting-edge, alternative cannabinoid treatments for those who need it most: patients who suffer from chronic pain.

Recent studies have suggested that cannabis-derived treatments can be safe and effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer pain—three notoriously difficult ailments to alleviate. Additionally, injections of synthetic cannabinoids have shown great promise in enhancing morphine’s antinociceptive effect while preventing the buildup of tolerance to the drug in patients.

With pain affecting 1.5 billion people worldwide, drugs and analgesics to treat it comprise one of the major segments of the central nervous system (CNS) therapies market. NTRR believes that cannabinoid treatments could hold the key to unlocking a whole new era of pain management, helping the company to break into the $52 billion pain management market. NTRR is seeking out potential partners who are developing breakthrough delivery systems capable of helping patients cope with chronic pain in new, more effective ways.

The company is dedicated to commercializing innovative, all-natural products to compete in the fast-growing medical marijuana sector alongside Cannabis Science Inc. (PINK: CBIS), Medical Marijuana Inc. (PINK: MJNA), HEMP Inc. (PINK: HEMP) and Growlife Inc. (PINK: PHOT).

GTSO Works to Bring Latin American Best Practices to U.S. Urban Mining Market

GTSO Works to Bring Latin American Best Practices to U.S. Urban Mining Market

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– As talks with Chilerecicla to expand its urban mining business throughout Latin America continue, Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: GTSO) is making plans to bring best practices learned from its potential new partner to the U.S.

Founded in 2009, Chilerecicla opened the first e-waste recycling plant in Southern Chile and specializes in direct removal of e-waste from clients’ offices for reuse and recycling. It’s a successful business model that GTSO expects to help expand to Chile‘s neighbors as soon as a definitive agreement can be signed.

Latin American nations such as Chile lead the U.S. in recovering unwanted computers, electronics and other gadgets from the waste stream, but the U.S. remains a rich market for urban mining that GTSO is determined to tap. According to the EPA, only about 25 percent of electronic waste is collected in the U.S., with about 38 percent of that waste stemming from computers.

As its relationship with Chilerecicla progresses, GTSO hopes to apply that company’s expertise in isolating e-waste before it reaches the landfill to its recycling efforts in North America, where a growing silicon gold mine remains largely unexploited.

Urban mining is key to GTSO‘s plans to compete alongside major international corporations striving for sustainable waste solutions, such as Industrial Services of America (NAS: IDSA) and Sims Metal Management Ltd. (NYS: SMS) . Late last year, GTSO acquired the company Global Cell Buyers and soon after rebranded the company as Green Urban Mining to handle its domestic recycling and resale operations.

NTRR Explores New Ways to Make Medical Cannabis Healthier, More Effective

SARASOTA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– As Neutra Corp. (OTCBB: NTRR) explores the market potential for various smoke-free cannabinoid delivery systems, the company is seeking out new innovations on the cutting edge of the swelling U.S. medical marijuana market. Topical treatments, oral capsules and throat sprays could hold the key to achieving NTRR‘s aggressive corporate growth goals as more and more patients turn to healthier, more effective alternatives to smoking.

With new North American markets opening up for cannabinoid-related products and services every year, NTRR is seeking out new products and potential partners capable of maximizing its position in $1.7 billion U.S. medical marijuana industry.

“Alternative prescribed cannabinoid delivery systems offer several advantages over herbal cannabis,” said NTRR CEO Cindy Morrissey. “They’re the future of this industry, and we want to position NTRR at the ground floor of the coming boom.”

NTRR is seeking out potential partners who are developing breakthrough delivery systems capable of dramatically improving the benefits of prescribed cannabinoids to patients. The effects of throat sprays, oral capsules and topical creams are typically more predictable, more discrete, less invasive and less harmful than smoking cannabis.

The company is dedicated to commercializing innovative, all-natural products to compete in the fast-growing medical marijuana sector alongside Cannabis Science Inc. (PINK: CBIS), Medical Marijuana Inc. (PINK: MJNA), HEMP Inc. (PINK: HEMP) and Growlife Inc. (PINK: PHOT).

Auxillium to Increase Focus on Polish Shale Gas

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– AUXILLIUM ENERGY INC. (“AUXILLIUM” or the “Company”), (OTCQB: AXLM) is pleased to announce that it is accelerating its efforts in the exploration of potential opportunities in the Baltic Sea area of Northern Poland.

The Company’s management identified Poland as an excellent prospect for oil and gas exploration based on EIA data that indicates Poland may contain the largest estimated shale gas reserves in Europe. Poland contains approximately 777 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of shale gas, with an estimated 67 trillion cubic feet that is technically recoverable. In particular, most of the shale gas is in the Baltic Sea area in the region of the Lublin Basin and in the Podlasie region.

The potential of Poland has not gone unnoticed with the Polish government having granted 111 shale gas exploration concessions covering 29% of Poland to date. The shale gas boom in Poland has attracted oil majors and independents such as PGNiG, Marathon Oil, Talisman Energy, Chevron, etc.

“The Company’s increased effort in Poland is shaping up to be a fantastic opportunity for both Auxillium and its shareholders,” said Mr. Warmond Fang, the company’s CEO. “I believe that Poland has great potential to be the next major shale gas play if you look at what is happening in Europe. With bans on hydraulic fracturing in France, Bulgaria, and resource rich regions in Spain, Poland has a near monopoly of this valuable resource. It is an exciting time for Auxillium as we take steps to strategically position ourselves as a potential player in the evolving Polish shale gas industry.”

About Auxillium Energy Inc.

Auxillium Energy Inc., is a US based oil and gas exploration company that focuses on exploration and development of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons. Through its wholly owned subsidiary Auxillium Alaska Inc., the company has two strategic oil and gas leases covering 9,600 acres in the North Slope Foothills of Alaska.
