suckered into buying penny stock (presented as going IPO) from IT solutions.com, through an underhanded insurance agent. The IPO never happened and, infact, the company was apparently bought by DiStream, which also shut down, no trail given to investors. Is Bitraider part of all this? Seems to have the same CEO. |
