Hawaiian Hospitality Group Inc (EM) (HHGI)

Haraburda should be in prison.

This sucker rip banch of people 10 years ego so go and try your luck , you may get in but never be able to get out

What is up with HHGI? The stock has exploded over the last few weeks and no one is talking about it.

Who the heck trades this shit?

this is a super low float -- any news here?

"What happened here?"

A failed scam...

News coming soon? Trading 2 days in a row with big volume and movement?

What happened here?

Haraburda SEC sanctions -broke- HHGI is worthless.

http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2015/lr23321.htm

Looks like this one may finally get delisted.

Fingers crossed X.

GeckoSystems has no relationship to HHGI or Haraburda. George MacLeod referred GeckoSystems to Big Apple to set them up for his con, but they failed to do proper DD in the International Shoe RM Big Apple got ripped off too. But does crook robs crook count?

Apparently MacLeod was furious when he found up that Big Apple messed up his deal -

Here's the decision NY court case Big Apple Consulting V. Belmont Partners that conclusively proves that GeckoSystems had nothing to do with Haraburda or Belmont:

http://decisions.courts.state.ny.us/10jd/nassau/decisions/index/index_new/austin/2008sept/023105-07.pdf

Anyone who was involved in this transaction would be fully aware of this and the fact that GeckoSystems finally went public through FINRA 15c-211. There is no relationship between HHGI and Haraburda and GeckoSystems.

GeckoSystems is a valid business enterprise that operated for nine years as a private company before even attempting to go public.

IMTD is HHGI - Same CEO, same SEC CIK.

If you look back in the financials for HHGI you find IMTD.

This one smells like dead fish -

Here's an old pump post...

IMTD – Our New Stock Pick

Posted by Bob Wilcox on Oct 25, 2007 in Articles | 0 comments
We announced IMTD to our premium members last week. It still looks promising at these prices.
Visit www.pennystockforums.net to discuss this pick and other penny stocks.

ImagiTrend, Inc. is a development-stage Company that specializes in developing and marketing pet products and consumer products. ImagiTrend currently owns interest in two companies: Eternal Gems, which has a unique process for creating durable and attractive pet memorial products; and The Hollywood Movie Machine, which has an exclusive license on technology to place individual customers in to film clips of movies, television shows, and other video footage. The Hollywood Movie Machine has also developed and licensed interactive home consumer entertainment products and software.

Outstanding Shares153,000,000 as of Aug 23, 2007
Authorized Shares490,000,000 as of Aug 23, 2007

This stock should head much higher once an acquisition is announced. Until then it trades under $.001, which considering the current share structure, is a very good price. The same holds true for IMTD as any of our other picks. Do your own DD before deciding to take a position. There is a chance this stock could fall even further before heading higher.
Trading strategy for IMTD
Look for an entry under $.001 and hold for acquisition news – then sell as the stock appreciates in value.
This is all hypothetical of course. There is no guarantee any acquisition news will ever be released. Like any Pink Sheet stock this one is a gamble, so don’t risk more than you can afford to lose.
As always we picked IMTD based on our own opinions and DD.

Big Apple - sold this shell and then tried to keep all of the shares (and the company). It became Imagitrend and Castle Technologies because GeckoSystems walked out on them.

Big Apple's website is offline now because you can only find them in the Federal Court docket.

Read the first 50 posts on this board - this shell has been dirty from the beginning.

HHGI - a serial scam by Haraburda -

If you go to the oldest financial on the OTC page:
http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/HHGI/financials

You come up with a company started in 2005 called Imagitrend.
http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=3969267

Harbruda was connected with Big Apple.

Registration for the stock was withdrawn on March 8, 2007
http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=5019882

What just happened here? Why the explosion? I've been stuck with this forever and now all of a sudden the bid is .001 and Ask .01???
Is this for real? Any news, or some insiders playing on fact that most PPL have low Asks and been trying to unload, shaking out their shares?

Anyone know the actual float, what's going on here???

Hi Fingers! I didn't know you were an HHGI'er too! What's your current take on this one? I've been stuck here since the reverse split some time ago. BTW Glad I bailed on "That other one" we were in,on Wed of this week. Hoping for similar action over here.

Same one throwing money way baying this crap

OMG this thing STILL trades? 160? Makes no sense at all. Did some MM get board and try to show a 160 share lot to make people think this still trades? thats histerical.

Thanks for info. That was nice how much information was found. I like the Secretary of State info too.

Check this out Kevin jasper and his mafia
http://www.justanswer.com/fraud-examiner/6htx1-insight-management-corp-isim-penny-stock-scam.html

Good call. Thanks for info.

Lol. I remember some years ago I talked to some lady there named Linda or Lisa something. I asked her questions about that company. She stuttered after everything I asked her and I knew she didnt know shit about what she was talking about. I sold like an hour after I talked to her.

No one is going to buy a Haraburda shell. Too dirty.

Almost none...

Unless someone buys the shell. They were a scam from head to toe...

Is there any potential for this ticker?

How'd that huge idea work out for you folks?

the funny part would be that you would owe yet another $20 to your brokerage. Yu better just get rid of it.

up 2150%? on 20k volume?

Same one poke a crust of that crap it may start small bad soon

30,000 shares worth of paint.

This shell's too dirty to be run again IMO.

oh yeah, I already lost my cash on this dog. I was just wondering why it jumped today.

Total scam... don't touch it!

North Shore Wedding Venue Linked to Man Accused of Fraud
posted by Alex Ferreras on August 3, 2012 in Scams

(Source: Andrew Gomes The Honolulu Star-Advertiser (MCT) — Loulu Palm Estate LLC on Oahu’s North Shore is a picturesque setting for weddings but also appears connected to unsightly stock fraud allegations that recently led to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission complaint.
The property was an editor’s pick this year for best Hawaii wedding venues by wedding industry publication The Knot, joining a list of top venues that include the Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki and The Fairmont Orchid resort on Hawaii island.

Loulu Palm’s parent company, Hawaiian Hospitality Group Inc., is financially intertwined with several companies set up by Hale­iwa resident Nicholas Louis Geranio, who was charged in May with defrauding overseas investors of $35 million.

The SEC alleges Geranio deceived investors by coordinating a scheme to sell stock in the firms based on lies about their operations and manipulated prices. Between April 2007 and September 2009, Geranio founded eight small companies and arranged to have sales agents pressure overseas investors to buy shares of the so-called “penny stock” companies, the SEC said. The stock was manipulated to inflate prices and proceeds, the SEC claims.

Hawaiian Hospitality is publicly traded, but it isn’t among the businesses that the SEC alleges were used by Geranio to defraud investors. Geranio is accused of using gains from illegal activities to help establish Hawaiian Hospitality.

Hawaiian Hospitality is engaged in weddings and catering and also aims to launch minisubmarine tours. According to the company’s website, Hawaiian Hospitality is “a huge up-and-comer in the local hospitality industry.”

Geranio, who is also known as Nick Louis, helped establish Hawaiian Hospitality, the SEC said in its complaint. Most weddings hosted by Hawaiian Hospitality are held at the Loulu Palm property leased from one of the Geranio companies in the SEC complaint.

Hawaiian Hospitality representatives did not return phone calls seeking comment. Geranio could not be reached. The SEC would not comment on the ties between Hawaiian Hospitality and Geranio beyond what was included in its complaint.

The wedding and catering company was formed in August 2009, and since then has sought publicity by issuing close to 20 news releases touting a wide range of activities, including planned acquisitions, partnerships and anticipated performance.

In each of the past two years, Hawaiian Hospitality reported unaudited net losses of about $263,000 on about $500,000 of revenue primarily from the wedding operations of Loulu Palm and catering affiliate 21st Parallel Catering & Events, according to public annual reports.

The Loulu Palm property includes a five-bedroom house built in 1941 on a 35,240-square-foot parcel between Turtle Bay and Sunset Beach.

The site is touted as being a private beach setting but actually is separated from the public beach by state conservation land.

A Geranio company, BWRE Holdings LLC, contributed $250,000 as a down payment to buy the property for $2.7 million in 2008, the SEC said. According to the purchase agreement, Geranio is also the guarantor for $20,000 monthly installment payments to the seller, and full payment is due July 24.

The SEC seeks to recover alleged ill-gotten proceeds from Geranio companies, including BWRE.

Hawaiian Hospitality is obligated to pay BWRE, which is based in Hawaii, about $20,000 a month for rent, but instead has largely issued stock to BWRE, making BWRE a major shareholder in Hawaiian Hospitality, according to the company’s annual reports.

Hawaiian Hospitality reported owing BWRE $166,720 in unpaid rent and a promisory note of $175,858 at the end of last year.

Another major connection between Geranio and Hawaiian Hospitality involves the company’s plan to offer underwater tours through subsidiary Submersible Technical Services Inc.

Hawaiian Hospitality reported purchasing Submersible Technical Services, a Nevada company, using $5 million from Kaleidoscope Real Estate Inc. The deal included a pair of small submarines — a two-seater and a three-seater that Hawaiian Hospitality said were received but not yet certified for use last year.

Kaleidoscope is a Geranio company sued by the SEC in connection with the alleged stock fraud. Hawaiian Hospitality reported owing Kaleidoscope $525,201 at the end of last year for the sub company purchase. The other roughly $4.5 million Hawaiian Hospitality owed Kaleidoscope was satisfied by giving Kaleidoscope 394 million shares of stock in Hawaiian Hospitality, the company reported.

Shares of Hawaiian Hospitality stock aren’t worth much. The company has issued more than 2 billion shares since its founding, and periodically has condensed those shares to boost the value of each remaining share.

Currently there are about 875,000 shares of Hawaiian Hospitality stock outstanding, with each share worth less than one-tenth of a cent, according to Bloomberg. To put it another way, 1 cent was enough to buy 50 shares of Hawaiian Hospitality stock last week. To buy all outstanding shares in the company would cost $175.

At the end of last year, Hawaiian Hospitality reported having one paid employee, Linda Kress, a former claims coordinator with Hono­lulu insurance firm King and Neel Inc. who was named president and CEO in December 2010.

my total investment in this stock is now down to "one penny"
that would be funny if it didn't suck so badly for the investors.
noone can even afford to sell it.
I'll just leave it on my portfolio and let it die a slow death.
i read their website where they claim to look out for their investors best interests. It's hilarious....
If i ever get to hawaii i think I'll stay at their place and then steal the towels and skip out on the bill....recoup some of my losses....hahahaha

If they do another R/S it would be very funny because my 30 cents became 2 cents :)

I wish I had actually gotten the stock certificates, at least i could use them to wipe my ass.

Looks like someone finally gave up and cashed out their 5000 shares for $3 today.
