Delta Continental is busy acquiring

The more I find out, the more I'm sure it's the same guys that recently brought us Sakura, Dai-Ichi and Okuma. This brings me to some theories about the way these comrades do their business. If you dropped in right here, please don't miss my brilliant first part.

The fraud business works in overlapping seasons of six months. The freshly "founded" enterprises set out for acquisition of new victims which are baited by the usual regular stock deals and then gradually prepared for the real ripoff. This can take some months.

While the remaining victims are squeezed out until even the toughest optimists kiss their money goodbye, the next acquisition wave is launched.

This is what currently happens with our well known Sakura, Dai-Ichi and Okuma providers, They have "founded" (or rather: "invented") some new companies (presumably three as well) and are now fishing for fresh idiots.

As of today, I have positive proof of one new fraudulent enterprise - the already known Delta Continental. There must be at least one more I don't yet know of.

What I do already know, is the next step that takes place if one victim is willing to accept the bargain offered. If one really wants to "buy" (we know, noone will ever actually own anything) Amylin Pharmaceuticals shares, he (or she) will be provided with an even more professional-looking commercial invoice along with Bank and wire instructions.

Guess what? The transfer agent looks familiar!

Well, compare that to the transfer agent used for Sakura or Okuma:

To me, this does not leave too much space for interpretation. Once again, whoever has been contacted by "Delta Continental" or whatever the other companies may be called, please contact me, either via Comment or email.

So let the game commence!
