CIRCA 2014 Company Co-founded by Paul Pelosi Jr. Charged w/ investment fraud

SEC: Environmental investment company Natural Blue Resources run by criminals

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged a company cofounded by Paul Pelosi Jr. with fraud on Wednesday after learning that two convicted criminals were running the business.

Paul Pelosi Jr., the son of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), was the president and chief operating officer of Natural Blue Resources Inc., an investment company he cofounded that focuses on "environmentally-friendly" ventures.

The SEC charged four individuals with fraud, including former New Mexico Gov. Toney Anaya, and suspended trading in the company’s stock. Pelosi owned over 10 million shares in the company in 2009.

The SEC said Wednesday the company was "secretly controlled" by James E. Cohen and Joseph Corazzi, both of whom had previous fraud convictions. Corazzi violated federal securities laws and was barred from acting as an officer or director of a public company. Cohen was previously incarcerated for financial fraud.

Cohen and Corazzi said they were "outside consultants," but according to the SEC, they actually controlled Natural Blue’s business decisions "without disclosing their past brushes with the law to investors." The pair made hundreds of thousands of dollars off the company. "Cohen and Corazzi concealed their involvement through a so-called ‘consulting’ agreement, but their influence over the issuer spread much further," said Andrew J. Ceresney, director of the SEC’s Enforcement Division. "Investors in Natural Blue had a right to know who was running the company behind the scenes."

The SEC suspended trading in Natural Blue stock. A notice filed in the Federal Register on Wednesday by Jill M. Peterson, assistant secretary of the SEC, revealed that the company has not filed any periodic reports, which are required by law, with the SEC in four years.

"It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of Natural Blue Resources, Inc. because it has not filed any periodic reports since the period ended September 30, 2010," Peterson said, in the order announcing suspension of trading.

Cohen, Corazzi, Anaya, and Erik Perry, a former executive at Natural Blue, were all charged with federal fraud violations. Anaya, who was Governor of New Mexico from 1983 to 1987, and Perry "misled investors by failing to disclose that Cohen and Corazzi were running the company in spite of their criminal or disciplinary histories," the SEC said.

"Natural Blue and its officers attempted an end-run around the rules designed to prevent recidivists from getting their hands on the controls of public companies," said Paul Levenson, director of the SEC’s Boston Regional Office.

"While Natural Blue was ostensibly led by Anaya and subsequently Perry, management decisions made by Cohen and Corazzi resulted in no revenues or viable business operations for the company," the SEC said. "Anaya and Perry each deferred to Cohen and Corazzi in derogation of their responsibilities."

The SEC said Natural Blue made "various material misrepresentations about the company, its contracts, and its anticipated revenue in a February 2011 press release as well as on a website and verbally to investors." There is some dispute over Paul Pelosi’s current connection to the company.

The New Mexico Office of the Secretary of State Business Service Division currently lists Natural Blue as a company "not in good standing," with Pelosi listed as its president.

Pelosi cofounded the company in 2009. The SEC said Natural Blue’s mission is to "create, acquire, or otherwise invest in environmentally-friendly companies, including an initiative to locate, purify, and sell water recovered from underground aquifers in New Mexico and other areas with depleting water resources."

According to Bloomberg Businessweek, Pelosi served as president and chief operating officer of Natural Blue Resources, Inc. until January 11, 2010. Joseph Montalto is listed as the current president. However, the Mountain View Telegraph cited Pelosi as Natural Blue’s president last year, and Anaya was still leading the company as chairman and CEO at this time. Pelosi and Natural Blue Resources could not be reached for comment.

Anaya will be barred from participating in any penny stock company for at least five years, and fined an amount to be determined later. Perry also settled with the SEC, agreeing to pay $150,000 fine, and permanently banned from serving as an officer or director of a public company and from participating in any offerings of penny stock.

For once, Rush threw all the cards on the table and talked at length today (10/4/19) about how the establishment enriches themselves at our expense...I enjoyed it. He made a few enemies today...likely no Bushes will send him Christmas cards this year.

Keep turning over rocks. With all the green energy kick backs and graft during the Obama regime, this crook surely dined long and hard at the DC trough.

Oh boy.

Not going to waste my time digging but...

This is a classic pump and dump penny stock scheme.

Good chance mob is connected in some way but not necessarily.

Don’t forget I said today that Pelosi’s dad was connected to the mob

Her son could have been an innocent dupe...or not

I have long theorized that many pump and dumps are really schemes to fund black ops. This is based on a variety of factors including participants in multiple schemes over and over with no repercussions that have ties to people up the chain.

Just a theory.

btw, if you really dig further into the players you may see more connections. For example, who was behind the shell company prior to the reverse mergers...assuming that is what took place. It usually does.

Who were the lawyers? Who were the PR people. Etc.

Very doubtful the ones that got nailed were at the top of the chain.

You are lucky you never dealt with that kind little old white haired lady Barbara Bush.

That gal shook down everyone. As did her husband and her sons.

Neil is a total prick.

Neil is a total prick.

Neil Bush was implicated in the Silverado banking scandal and made foolish admissions in public. Luckily for him, coverage of the scandal vanished when his daddy launched Gulf War I a few days later.

Here’s a clue: Nancy has been in gubmint for 35 or so years; earning a Congress critter salary. And as of today she’s worth close to $300 Million. It strikes me that she may be dirty.

I was in San Antonio at a convention for a certain industry way back. I was much younger and huge. I drank a little back then.

Neil Bush was selling his soul to some company there and he was walking towards me with the SS. I stepped in front of him and said “what the F is the bullshit with that S&L?”.

Two pretty large SS guys grabbed me under my arms around the elbows, picked me up and moved me about 5 feet to the right. One of them says “stand still and count until 30 if you know what is good for you”. I was little drunk but not a little stupid.

Years later I’d get in to Barbara Bushes face over her shaking down someone in Houston. That woman and “poppy” were really not like their persona. The whole Bush gang are parasites. For three generations now.

The thievery in government is so big from the local to the federal level a lot of people should be hung. That’s the simple reason they are trying to destroy Trump. He is the camel with his nose under the tent.
