Ernie,i agree.The players involved with CHCC indeed reminds one of the usual suspects.Until defrauded shareholders band together and pursue the "advisors" who participated in bringing these companies public who get off without so much as a slap on the wrist,little will be done.Another thought is just don't put your hard earned money into these phantom companies.Interestingly,i mentioned a reverse merger company in an earlier post,China Yingxia,the SEC has in fact pursued the "handlers" according to a Wall Street Journal article of a few weeks ago.My guess is this was not as a result of stealth sleuthing on the part of the SEC but rather a concerted effort but a group of defrauded shareholders,helped along with inquires and pressure from the shareholders elected representatives.I think,fine a few lawyers,promoters,pr/ir firms and watch this start to clear up nicely.

Gentlemen,i agree.The SEC is aware and attempting to take steps to prevent in the future.Sadly,the fact remains,those that went public via reverse merger here in the US were and are structured so as not to provide any shareholder safeguards.If the officers and directors were US citizens,if fraud is proven,they can be pursued.The US SEC has no cooperation from the Chinese equivalent of the SEC. Collectively Chinese companies listed here in the US have stolen more money than 10 Bernie Madoff's.Bear in mind,a US shareholder nor the US Government can sue a Chinese national in a Chinese court.In Chinese business circles in China,the laugh of the day is how stupid American investors,are to invest in a Chinese reverse merger company.No company in China could ever do what has been done here on either the exchange in Shanghai or Shenzen.A great example is a company named China Yingxia International.Stole all of the US shareholders money,went dark and looked like the principal shareholder was in the clear.Mistake she made was selling shares to Chinese citizens.The Chinese citizens complained to the Chinese government,they arrest her and give her a life sentence.Moral of the story,its ok to steal from US shareholders but steal from Chinese shareholder,you get sentenced to life in prison.My thought is let the Chinese companies list there in China as US companies cannot,unless it is on the Hong Kong Exchange.Interesting,however is if CHCC were listed in HK,the shareholder safeguards would prevent what has happened here.Thus Chinese companies should not be allowed to list here unless they abide by the same regulations as a domestic entity with business operations here.Again,sorry for the wordy post.

Hi to all.I will apologise beforehand for the length of this post.I am responding to this as it is the last post on this board.I have often checked here and most of the comments and information has always been helpful.I thought i would post regarding CHCC as my way of thanking all of the posters here for their sharing of information.As for CHCC,my thoughts are these.Firstly,the company has gone dark,which now allows for no requirement of any filings or information to their shareholders.Although i have no proof,my belief is all of the assets have been pirated to the benefit of the management of the CHCC for little or no consideration and have been moved into a new private chinese company owned by the former management of CHCC.The former management discovered a simplier way to gain control of the assets,go dark and beat all of the US shareholders.The supposed lawsuit against Pamco is in all probability not filed in China as the entity Pamco,is not a Chinese corporation and its principal operative,James Poe,aka Po Sun Liu is not a Chinese citizen but rather a citizen of Canada.I suspect Pamco is nothing more than a conduit to have received the shares and funds paid for the consulting services Poe supposedly provided to CHCC.In my opinion there will be no recovery of either the funds or the money paid as the entity(Pamco) is probably domiciled in either BVI,Cayman or The Bahamas and said funds and shares have long since been used to support Mr.Poe's lifestyle.Mr.Poe is banned from any involvement in the US securities business along with his wife or ex wife Paula.Interesting reading regarding the Poe family can be found looking at two of his prior pubco involvements,Pan Asia Mining and Terra Nostra Resources Corp.To wind this up,i believe all here is lost and the lesson to be taken from this should be most Chinese reverse merger companies are not transparent,good investments but rather opportunities for traders to make money riding them up or shorting them to oblivion.Again these are just my thoughts and thank so many of you for your insightful posts.

This company filed a form 15- which can be seen on the OTC markets website. I dont think we will be hearing from them anytime soon..I would like to think this has a happy ending but I doubt it.
This form is basically saying we are not reporting anything to the SEC and the chances we hear from this company would require them to file for reinstatement which could be done. This company had lots of assets so if a reinstatement ever where to come expect the share prices to rocket launch higher.. you never know maybe a year or two from now they file for reinstatement but I have placed this in the dead files for now.
Received 3/15/2012)
FORM 15
Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Suspension of Duty to File Reports Under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Definition of 'SEC Form 15'
A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), also known as the Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration. It is used by publicly traded companies to revoke the registration of their securities. SEC Form 15 may also be used to notify the SEC and investors of a company's intent to cease filing various required forms because their securities no longer fall under certain filing requirements.
Investopedia explains 'SEC Form 15'
When a company files an SEC Form 15, it usually means one of two things. It may mean that a company is ceasing to exist in a publicly-traded form, either returning to privately-held status or going out of business altogether. Alternatively, it may mean that a company is simply canceling a certain class of securities, replacing them with another class.
Related Forms: SEC Forms 15-12B, 15-12D, 15-12G, and 15-12F.
