On July 10th, 2014 a story was reported in the local news regarding a United States penny stock company call CNYK Technology and Titan International Securities inc (*Titan*) was identified has having an address similar to that reported by CNK Technology on its website. Titan is licensed with the international Financial services commission of Belize to trade in financial and commodity based derivative investments and securities and has offices on fourth floor of the Matalon Building in Belize City, Belize. Public filings with the fourth floor of the Matalon Building albeit in a different suite.
CYNK never has operated out of the office of Titan, and, to Titan's knowledge, never has had an office in the Matalon office in the Matalon building. Matalon building management has confirmed that CYNK does not have a presence in the Matalon Building. Matalon Building Management has asked CYNK to remove the Matalon address from CYNK's website. Building management shared with Titan the response that it received from CYNK. That response was "the address is being removed. Our error-apologies."
In the interest of completeness, Titan also makes two additional statements about CYNK:
(I) Titan does not know and never has had an affiliation with CYNK, and (ii) No shares of CYNK has ever been traded at, by or through Titan.
Titan is proud of its business record. There has never been an complaint filed against or charges of any infraction whatsoever made against the firm. Titan is committed to strict compliance with all laws, regulations and policies that govern licensed securities firms in Belize. Titan works closely with its principal regulator, the International Financial Services commission.
The local news channel that included Titan in its story about CYNK obtained a copy of Titan's license from Titan's website. Titan chooses to make available for viewing its license on its website so clients of Titan know that Titan is properly licensed. Titan was never contacted about the story and had no opportunity whatsoever to state Titan's position. Titan has nothing whatsoever to do with CYNK and was wrongly linked to the news story simply because of its address and nature of its business.

An excellent Friday and three spotted doubled propeller Army Helicopter
On Friday July 11th, 2014 I went around the island and took some photo's. Here is your highlight below of how the weather was super excellent to come and enjoy the weather. Since the island is famous for its beautiful blue sea and island style. Its was a windy day and very warm most came out to sail, swim and wind surf on the water.
My highlight for the view of Friday is a view of how excellent the weather it was in San Pedro and how lucky we are to live in a crazy paradise. With no rain during the day I headed up North. The white beaches, the clear bright blue water and the sound of wild birds. It was a journey up North to visit some of the amazing quiet places to see and some excellent photo's.
Here is view from Royal Palm when I was head north. The day started very well.
It was a bright Friday Morning.
Look very slow start for a Friday morning. Isn't it?
Then here you are looking at the view where Wet Willy is and Chuck and Robbie's dock.
Here is a fabulous view infront of Sandy Toe's
This is the view while crossing the bridge.
I like this view with the Coconut tree leaning.
Their where some people sailing on the water. I managed to take a picture.
I visited Rojo Lounge and the view was fabulous. With red painted inside and a great atmosphere the place had Fire lamp in a row. The place caught my attention the way how great they have it decorated.
Rojo Lounge at the front.
I spotted this weird looking sea urchin. I just loved the color of the water. Its so a bright Blue, green color.
Meanwhile I was observing to take picture's I caught this incoming sail boat passing by.
Hey everyone, look at this green and red stop light sign. One of the coolest decor I've seen.
After I took this photo I suddenly heard loud plane. Which I thought It was.
Look at this bird I just fell in love with the bird. Every time we said something it would repeat it. Suddenly, it started dancing for us for like 5 seconds. Then started laughing. What s cool bird made our day.
Palapa if you enjoy it come by.
This construction is nearly finishing. Last time I saw it was just beginning. Their also room for sale.
Caught the black birds flying by while fishermen were cutting fish few yards away.Here is a view towards THE HOTEL next to it was The legend's .
And that's how I spent the day at La Isla Bonita San Pedro. The day was very interesting but, I would tell you the streets are way to dusty. so be prepared for a dusty road.
U.S. regulators on Friday suspended trading in Cynk Technology Corportation
(Reuters) - U.S. regulators on Friday suspended trading in Cynk Technology Corp, citing possible market manipulation in the one-time penny stock whose market value rocketed within weeks from less than $20 million to more than $6 billion.
After the virtually unknown company with no assets or revenue skyrocketed in value for no apparent reason, the Securities and Exchange Commission and Financial Industry Regulation Authority (FINRA) decided to pull the plug. Listing its business address in Belize but filing out of Nevada, the company said it intended to create a social network business.
FINRA posted a trading suspension in the stock early on Friday using its "Extraordinary Event Halt" code. The SEC issued its suspension shortly afterward, extending the trading hiatus through July 24.The SEC cited "concerns regarding the accuracy and adequacy of information in the marketplace and potentially manipulative transactions in Cynk’s common stock."
Shares of Cynk, a development-stage company which SEC filings said formerly went by the name Introbuzz, were hardly ever traded, exchanging hands at pennies per share through late May. Beginning on June 17, shares rocketed from 6 cents to as much as $21.95 at one point on Thursday.
Based on Thursday's closing price of $13.90, its stock market value is $4.05 billion. At its peak, the stock had a higher market value than three dozen members of the S&P 500 including Cablevision Systems, Pitney Bowes, Legg Mason and ADT Corp.
Identified in regulatory filings as a Nevada corporation, it lists a business address in Belize City, Belize. Financial statements with the SEC show no assets, no sales and no positive cash flow. Its last quarterly report, from the third quarter of 2013, shows a net loss of $11,275 for the period.
Its website, site.introbiz.com, lists no phone number. A form for contacting the support group warns that it could take two days to respond. An investor named Marlon Sanchez was listed as owning 72 percent of the 291 million outstanding shares. But he had sold his stake, according to a June 11 letter to OTC Markets Group Inc, operator of the OTC Pink market on which Cynk shares traded.
The letter, signed by Las Vegas attorney Harold Gewerter, described Javier Romero, a resident of Belize, as the "sole officer and director" of Cynk.
The document, posted on an OTC website, said Romero has owned 210 million shares, roughly 72 percent of outstanding shares, since Feb. 20, 2014, "which he purchased from the former sole officer and director" - Sanchez.
Sanchez, reached by telephone on Friday, said: "I left the company in February and I have no further comment." Two SEC filings dated in March and April continue to identify Sanchez as the company's president and chief executive officer.
Sanchez also disclosed in an April 2013 filing to the SEC for Introbuzz that he graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Business Administration Marketing. An alumni official said Sanchez was not in the university's alumni data base.
Calls to the phone number on file at the SEC reached an automated recording saying: "You have reached an unassigned number."
The Belize address on file is The Matalon, Coney Drive, Suite 400 in Belize City. The building's front desk receptionist said the building has no suite 400 and building managers have never been approached to rent space to Cynk.
Regus, the company that rents out space in the business center in Las Vegas where Cynk had its offices, said a company named Introbuzz had offices there through the end of June but no longer operates in the building. They would not elaborate on how long Introbuzz had the offices, or why the company left.
The attorney, Gewerter, responded to Reuters with an email saying he no longer represents the company. OTC Markets did not immediately return a call for comment.
VOLUME SPIKE
Before June 17, Cynk shares had traded only on three days in 2014, with daily volume not exceeding 2,000 shares. Trades had occurred at either 8 cents a share or 6 cents, its closing price on May 15, when it last recorded trades before mid-June. Then, activity in the stock exploded.
Volume on June 17 topped 367,000 shares and the price shot to as high as $4.25, before closing the day at $2.25. Trading on every day since then averaged 120,533 shares. The price soared.The frenzy culminated on Thursday with a record volume of 386,060. The share price spiked as high as $21.95 before closing at $13.90, down from Wednesday's close of $14.71.
The SEC suspension is valid through July 24, but no quotation may be entered after that date unless brokers and dealers have complied with all rule provisions, the SEC said in a statement, which could effectively extend the suspension.There were no records immediately available identifying the owners of the Cynk shares that do not belong to Romero, or what their eventual losses could be.
The SEC has suspended trading in more than 1,300 micro-cap stocks since May 2012, said Eric Bustillo, regional director of the SEC's Miami Regional Office, who declined to comment specifically on the Cynk suspension.
