U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 22128 / October 18, 2011
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Ryan M. Reynolds, et al., Case No. 3-08 CV-438-B (N.D. Tex.)
SEC OBTAINS JUDGMENT AGAINST TEXAS STOCK PROMOTER JASON WYNN

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on October 14, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas entered a judgment against Jason Wynn, of Plano, Texas, and two companies under his control – Wynn Holdings LLC and Wynn Industries LLC. The Commission’s amended complaint alleged that Wynn and his companies violated the antifraud and registration provisions of the federal securities laws through a scheme to pump and dump the stock of four issuers: Beverage Creations, Inc., My Vintage Baby, Inc., ConnectAJet.com, Inc. and Alchemy Creative, Inc.

The Commission alleged that Jason Wynn and his companies (1) purchased tens of millions of shares directly from the issuers for pennies per share, (2) touted the stock to investors through a nationwide marketing campaign, and (3) immediately dumped their shares into the public market at grossly inflated prices when no registration statement was filed or in effect. Wynn created artificial demand for the stocks through various ad campaigns, emails and misleading promotional mailers. While the promotional mailers disclosed that the Wynn companies received the stock being touted, they did not disclose that Wynn and his companies intended to sell that stock into the artificially inflated market created by the promotions.

The judgment permanently enjoins Wynn, Wynn Holdings, LLC and Wynn Industries, LLC from violating Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The judgment also bars Wynn and his companies from participating in any penny stock offerings and provides that they will be ordered to pay disgorgement and civil penalties determined by the district court at a later date. Wynn and his companies consented to the entry of the judgment without admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission’s amended complaint.

Previously, on January 3, 2011, the district court entered a judgment against stock promoter Carlton Fleming and certain entities under his control – Regus Investment Group LLC and Thomas Wade Investments, LLC. The Commission’s case against the remaining defendants – Ryan Reynolds and companies under his control – is pending. The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in this matter.

IMO Beverage Creations could be trading again soon under new mgmt under some re-organization.

The old mgmt really made a mess of this stock, it needs a fresh start IMO.

There is a privately held co. by the same name that may go public one day, a ready made shell for the taking.

I'm sure one day this shell co. will be bought and made active again.

$3 million in the first day. sick! I guess the those photo printouts cost a bit of money

87. Having counseled MVBY and Alchemy on their offerings to the Promoters, and knowing that the Promoters had previously engaged in a scheme to immediately sell their MVBY and Alchemy stock, by December 17, 2007 Czarnik knew or recklessly disregarded that the Promoters had a plan to distribute BCI stock.

88. On October 11, 2007, Czarnik received an email from Feeback: "We need to get everything prepared to upload on Pink Sheets. The plan is to start trading [BCI] in two weeks... Make sure our website has all the necessary components to accommodate, investor inquiries."

89. On October 15, 2007, Czarnik received an email from Feeback: "Stephen, FYI, Beverage Creations is ready to post on Pink Sheets once they have their symbol."

90. On November 29, 2007, Czarnik received an email from Feeback: "Stephen... Can we get Beverage Creations trading quickly?" Czarnik replied, "As we discussed numerous times, it is in the hands of NASDAQ and I have done everything that I can to speed this up."

91. On December 5, 2007, Czarnik received an email from Feeback: "Stephen... Carl and I need to have a discussion with the BCI folks on the delays with getting them up and trading."

92. January 15, 2008, Czamik received an email from Promoter Fleming: "Stephen... I do agree with Rob's earlier email in your representations about when Beverage Creations would be completed so we could initiate advertising and marketing the company along with providing them additional much needed capital... I am going to move forward with some firm this week to ensure these companies become publicly traded."

93. January 15, 2008, Czarnik received an email from Feeback: "Stephen... You need to call [a BCI officer] tomorrow and explain to him as to why they do not have a symbol... We told them last June that we would have them trading by August/September."

94. Prior to January 30, 2008, Czarnik counseled BCI in obtaining a NASDAQ ticker symbol. Czarnik also helped draft and file a disclosure document sufficient to be quoted by Pink Sheets.

95. On January 30, 2008, BCI issued a press release announcing that BCI had "initiated trading."

96. On January 30, 2008, the Promoters sold over 2.3 million shares in the public market for profits of more than $3 million.

97. From February 4, 2008 through March 6, 2008, one of the Promoters distributed over 1.75 million, full-color, promotional mailers nationwide touting BCI. The mailers boasted that "EARLY INVESTORS COULD MAKE A FORTUNE," rated BCI stock a "STRONG BUY," and predicted astronomical gains within the first year.

98. From February, 2008 to March 2008, www.theStockPic.com promoted BCI on its website and through spam emails.

99. The promotional scheme worked. In the three weeks after its January 30, 2008 debut — even as the Promoters dumped their shares on the public — BCI's stock price more than doubled from an intraday low of $.55 per share on January 30 to its February 21 close at $1.25 per share.

100. On February 20, 2008, in reaction to the Promoters' promotional activity, Pink Sheets discontinued its quotation of BCI stock, and gave BCI its lowest rating of "Caveat Emptor."

I agree. It seems like a ridiculous slap on the wrists with a wet noodle.

they should be paying the fine AND pay back all us bagholders IMO

I find it outrageous that these dudes only have to pay a $20K fine each. They probably made $100's of K's on the scam.

Section 10(b) of the Se curities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
In addition, Wieden and Dado will pay civil penalties of $20,000 each. The SEC's
action against the remaining defendants is ongoing. [SEC v. Ryan M. Reynolds, et
al., Case No. 3-08 CV-438-B (N.D. Tex.)] (LR-20990)

I agree - there's a lot of shame to go around these days.

The whole thing is such a shame. This stuff really makes the free market and wall street look shameful.

Me, too. My guess is that the trials will take a really long time. I'll be watching my new alerts for any relevant info.

I think getting any of our money back is a long shot, but is within the realm of possibility. One thing working in our favor is the current environment of corporate malfeasance. I think that given Madoff, et.al. the courts are going to hit these crooks hard. I hope so, anyway!

I'd like to know if we can get some $$ back.

Maybe they'll get their due!

Hi, I've been away from looking at this for a few days. Is this trading?

Since Wynn and the others the sec is looking at had shares that were not restricted, it would appear that out of the millions the other insiders hold they would not be restricted either. Anthony has never answered my inquiry before and after the sec halt about numbers of shares held by insiders and if they were restricted?

I would assume that those insiders would hold on to their shares until the heat is turned down or there is some finality, which would help keep the price going up.

However with the numbers of shares outstanding with nothing known about their status leaves the potential for more major dumping down the road. Also, the pr from the company that they are/were considering a foward split is suspect.

As usual people will invest in a lotto play as well as others.

Good luck to everyone with you lotto ticket.

Just my opinion.

Anyone get in at under 0.10?

I break even on this and T whatever it is today at $12 here. The way this stock is moving I expect to see it sometime in the near future. I break even over at Revenge at .006. I'm new in pennys so I have to wait longer to see any return. Also I trade without L2. Personally I think I have a better chance here of seeing $$$ than Revenge.

LOL Don I thought you would have jumped ship on this one too.

I guess that you have way to much invested to move on though. I hope that this turns it around for yourself.

How many shares do you have or what is your break even point?

O ye of little faith wish you shoulda woulda coulda.

Yes, but WAY risky.

wish i had bought this 0.05 this other day. Would have been a nice flip.

I couldn't bring myself to get back in this till I see something more and I mean a lot more from this company (or atleast so called).

Some people must still believe.

why is this moving so much today???

This really could be the Come Back Darling of the penny world with sales in the billions per year.

I sold my small holding yesterday at .24. Boy did I lose a BUNCH of money on it! But I figured who knows what is going to happen and it may get halted again. Plus I was sick and tired of looking at it in my portfolio and decided to cut my losses and move on. About all you can do I guess.

The stuff I found out on my DD was just SO "iffy". Among other things I found out:

The Encore Lab they bought is registered to a residential address belonging to the president of another bottling company and he is the scientist that developed and sold a pet odor removal formula (remember the address for BVRG goes to a pet odor formula company). Also on this bottling company website is a "testimonial" from Robert Wieden (BVRG pres.), who was listed as a presidet of another company that was doing private labeling for some other companies, etc.

I have a feeling that BVRG probably didn't know what Jason Wynn was going to do with those shares, and that he was so "shady", but feel it might be a long time before they get out from under this "dark cloud" and get back to marketing the bio2tonic. I am sure it was a major blow to them.

Anyway, all IMHO. Thought about waiting it out, but decided to just get out so I didn't have to be mad everytime I looked at that ticker symbol in my portfolio, LOL.

been told by scottrade the only way i can trade it is by calling them up to trade. but the sucker is going up so i'm just gonan hold my shares and not worry about trading unless this gets back to $1 which i can't see it doing but who knows.

That is the big question, my guess is no but I've been wrong many times before.

Anyone get a sell to go through??

IF you can sell the shares. Who knows if sells are even being filled ya know.

I thought about day trading this, but I really couldn't bring myself to get back into this scam.
I agree though if you got in at 0.05 now you can get out with a 600% increase which is crazy!

It begs to be asked. Why did the SEC let the stock continue trading? Did they not find the wrong doing they were looking for? I agree with others that the company should come out with some info. Somehow I avoided buying this but it looks like a day traders dream if you have the heart for it.

This company stinks on all fronts. I can say one thing though, this was the first stock that I ever purchased and in brought in a 54% profit for myself and for that I'm grateful. But what frustrates me is what is going on right now. They have lied, cheated, and everything else to get money out of us and they are still being bought up. This should be black listed right off the market and people who have positions be awarded a settlement from the owners/cheats of this company.

I am staying away but thats me. No PR since the halt that I know of. This is trading on the greys right now. Very risky investment imo. Did you recieve your bottled Oxygen yet?? I wrote Anthony and suggested he send some out to all shareholders.

Go with the flow. Pump it up to $12 and we can take our money and go home.

Has the company even released a statement since the trade halt?

If not this doesn't sit well for a rebound so to speak. They should be out broadcasting they are here and they're not going anywhere.

Do they have a date on the spring release of the product? I was told the spring when I was in this (got out before this forward split/trade halt).

This just reeks of scam and I can't see myself getting in this till they answer many questions regarding their company and prove that they have something they are actually selling. Because right now they aren't selling a thing, yet people continue to buy in. Just seems silly to me.

Either the company is trying to build up momo or there are al lot of money losers who are trying to average down to recoop some losses. Big gamble if the co never recovers. If they do, people have short memories when money is being made. imo

Why are people buying this? I'm baffeled.

I liked the product and think the product could be a decent one, but once again with everything going on with this stock why would anyone want in this? I'm sure some are just trying a hail mary and averaging down, but geez.

They have never even produced a container of Bio2tonic water for sell or consumption.

Baffeled follower of this stock.

Very brave buying going on here. Buyer beware.

Should we set up a line of communications to the SEC about recovering our losses?

March 10 pr = forward stock split roflmao

Not sure but I am staying far away from this. I dont even thing ST would allow a purchase of this.

wow what happened here? this trading now?

.10 anyone?
