SEC SHUTS DOWN Colon End Parenthesis as a Ponzi Scam!!!

[Ferret]

Moderator Note: The Following post is ficticious and no official announcement has yet been made by the SEC regarding CEP.FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2007-18

Washington D.C., May. 18, 2007 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the filing of securities fraud charges against the operators of www.ColonEndParenthesis.com, a “paid HYIP program” that in fact was a massive Ponzi scheme which raised more than $40 million from over 20,000 investors worldwide by offering a 2% return on investment per day. As a result of the SEC’s charges, the defendants, Trevor E Reed, of Charlotte, N.C., and his companies, ceased their solicitation of investors and agreed to a freeze of all their assets and the appointment of a receiver who will take control of the companies’ operations.

According to the Commission’s complaint, which was filed last week in federal district court in Los Angeles, Calif., www.ColonEndParenthesis.com claimed to be a paid autosurf program — a form of online advertising program that purportedly generates advertising revenue by automatically rotating advertised websites into a viewer’s Internet browser. Advertisers purportedly pay “hosts,” which in turn pay their members to view the rotated websites. The Commission’s complaint alleges that www.ColonEndParenthesis.com sale of membership units constituted the fraudulent and unregistered sale of securities under the federal securities laws. The Commission also today posted to its Web site an investor alert concerning autosurf programs. The alert can be viewed at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/autosurf.htm.

Randall R. Lee, Regional Director of the Commission’s Pacific Regional Office, said, “Paid autosurf programs have become an enormous industry on the Internet. When these schemes depend on attracting new members in order to pay returns to current members, they are destined to collapse. The promise of guaranteed, double-digit returns in a matter of days should raise a red flag. We urge the public to be aware that paid memberships in these schemes may be a form of investment, and to exercise extreme caution before investing in any get rich quick scheme.”

The Commission alleges that the defendants defrauded investors by operating www.ColonEndParenthesis.com as almost a pure Ponzi scheme — using new investor monies to pay the promised returns to existing investors — in violation of the federal securities laws. The defendants falsely represented that upgraded members’ earnings “are financed not only [by] incoming member fees, but also with multiple income streams including advertising, and off-site investments.” In fact, at least 95% of www.ColonEndParenthesis.com revenues have come from new investments in the form of membership fees from new or existing members. The other “multiple income streams” from advertising revenues or off-site investments touted by the defendants were either negligible or non-existent.

The Commission’s complaint alleges that the defendants violated the antifraud provisions of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and the securities registration provisions of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act.

This matter was referred to the Commission in early February by several members of the public. Complaints and tips from the public are vital to the Commission’s mission to protect investors, and the Commission staff reviews each and every complaint it receives.

It was a hoax by Ferret!!


Deadgrassdog, this is the exact reason we do not need to be looking around in a garbage dump like Matrix. Everyone can see this Ferrett character is a liar. That's why his screen name is a disgusting rodent that NYC banned! I hope Trevor takes a look at this because this slander is actionable. I work as a liason for a federal agency and will be filing a complaint against that website.

Folks, don't just run with something because it showed up somewhere on the internet.
A very big thanks to deadgrassdog :D

A: Ferrets are not rodents

B: It would be libel not slander

C: PLEASE file a complaint with a federal agency about this

EVERYTHING in the first post is true except that The SEC has not
acted YET!!!
They never make BIG announcements on Friday because of the
weekend.

PS: While ya all are here take a look at this post
Maybe you have some answers? probably not...

Welcome to our newest member, Feretkiler lol :D

I would suggest using a spelling checker next time genius :p :p

PS: What happened to FerretJR?

[solidsnake]

As a member of CEP, I was taken aback by some of your statements. That's not to say that you can't share your opinion. As a matter of fact, I read through the majority of one of the longer threads about Colon End Paranthesis.

What makes me more curious, is the lack of citing any sources for information that you or anybody else posts. And posting web links to the cep forums doesn't qualify as a source. They only begin to justify your opinions. Some of which I agree with. Others, not such or at all.

I would just like to know where you are getting your information on Trevor and Clayton since you talk about them so much.

[Ferret]

Welcome solidsnake

I haven't really said anything about Clayton

As a member of CEP you must know how Trevor Reed and Colon End Parenthesis
is making FOUR TIMES what Colon End Parenthesis is paying out.

Colon End Parenthesis is paying out 60% per month so that means that
Colon End Parenthesis is claiming to make 240% a month

Colon End Parenthesis is paying out 720% per year so that means that
Colon End Parenthesis is claiming to make 2880% a year

How are they doing this?

How much money do you have in CEP?

PS: What do you think about the big announcement today?

[solidsnake]

About $100. And that came from another site. The math you show is simple enough. I've taken advanced calculus courses. I'm curious where your information comes from. We all know the same information posted on the web sites about Trevor, his seminary education, etc.

Your posts paints him to be the poster child of thievery and humanity's undoing. You have yet to cite your sources. The only thing I've seen is your opinion.

Did you get burned from one of these sites or hyip's? Do you know Trevor on a personal level? Has he wronged you in any way, shape, or form?

Some of your posts do a lot of fingerpointing. There's just no backing to them. I think that's where people are going to become frustrated.

[Ferret]

About $100. And that came from another site. The math you show is simple enough. I've taken advanced calculus courses. Was the other site a HYIP, Ponzi or an autosurf?

So if it is so simple answer the question how is Trevor Reed performing
this financial miracle?

In fact if anyone would answer this I will shut up

If you really had read that thread you would know that i have never been
burned from one of these sites or hyip's
I said it at least two times

I don't have to personally know Trevor Reed to see that he is running a
massive Ponzi scam in the name of God

[solidsnake]

Allright. That's one answer. And here's my answer, yes the money did come from another site. So, to be honest, I wouldn't feel like I was losing out on anything there. It was money generated from somewhere else.

And my condolenscences on you being burned from one of the other sites. I've been burned from one of ebay's users. But I didn't go accusing someone else of being a conman or liar. That's all I'm saying. Think about it for a second.

My other point . . . have you actually met Trevor? And no, I haven't. I don't trust him any more than I trust the "one true God". I don't care if it is a religious program or not. I'm about money. And the thing is, I've seen my financial gains. I've able to withdraw money without any hinderances.

So if it is so simple answer the question how is Trevor Reed performing this financial miracle?

Everyone gets paid in a Ponzi before it crashes so what is your point?

and I never got burned :p Pay attention ;)

[solidsnake]

I can't answer the question anymore than you can. Because, I don't know. I do know that you're dodging the questions about Trevor that I have asked you. Are you ever going to answer those?

[Ferret]

I can't answer the question anymore than you can. Because, I don't know. I do know that you're dodging the questions about Trevor that I have asked you. Are you ever going to answer those?You really don't pay attention, I already said I don't
know Trevor Reed personally
It is irrelevant to the fact that Trevor is running a ponzi scam.
Trevor has no real investments like he claims.

However, I do know the answer to the question of how Trevor is
claiming to make such incredible returns.
He is robbing peter to pay paul. Its really obvious to anyone who
doesn't have money invested in Colon End Parenthesis and can
see clearly

[solidsnake]

That's wonderful, you're using the same exact arguments to present opinion. When you come back with the financial stats and hard proof that he is running a scam, then I will take out all of my money and give it to you. But guess what, all you have is speculation. You don't have any proof. You never did. Presenting me with mathematical percentages that can be found on our own website doesn't prove anything. It does nothing for your arguments. Everything you've been saying is bases on conjecture, nothing more. Where are your facts? You don't have any. Chances are, you never will. One more thing, quoting everything that someone says, doesn't help you either.

This is getting nowhere slowly lol

You, Trevor Reed and CEP are the ones that need to produce some proof

You are the ones that can't answer the tough questions

I can't prove a negative.

Tell me how Trevor Reed and Colon End Parenthesis
is making FOUR TIMES what Colon End Parenthesis is paying out?


Colon End Parenthesis is paying out 60% per month so that means that
Colon End Parenthesis is claiming to make 240% a month

Colon End Parenthesis is paying out 720% per year so that means that
Colon End Parenthesis is claiming to make 2880% a year

When you do that I will quit and shut up :p

[solidsnake]

Why do I, or Trevor Reed, have to prove ourselves to you. If you were a potential member, I would understand. You're just spouting off at the mouth saying, "The numbers can't be real! The numbers can't be real!" What have you really shown to me or anybody else with a brain. And you don't have to reference anybody that uses CEP or part the CEP group. Just talk to me, and about me.

You said that you can't prove a negative. That's obvious. If anything, that should be enough to shut you up. You have nothing but bad things to say about people and whatever they do because of a couple of bad experiences. That's all I know about you. And post after post proves that.

As far as what you've just shown me, all you've done is print the same numbers with the same reply with a little smiley icon that has its tongue sticking out at me.

You have no proof. And until this company fails, you will be a constant failure.

[Ferret]

Ponzis like Colon End Parenthesis always fail and it looks like it has already happened

I haven't had any bad experiences.........

CEP is a typical ponzi scam because (i) it is mathematically impossible to have such a high return in reality; (ii) it is running in black box; (iii) any business that uses God to back them up = scam (based on our experience).

As the latest CEP announcement is more relevant to the discussion and no SEC announcement has been made this thread will now be locked.

Even though this is pure fiction at the moment, one cannot dismiss the timing of the announcement from CEP admin regarding administrative deficiency's..
