"World's Strongest Lawyer" not strong enough when it comes to stock fraud, Washington State regulators say

Dec 3, 2007 - (Tip Report) Seattle - A Washington state lawyer pled guilty in US District Court in Seattle to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and two counts of failing to file federal income tax returns.

The bad boy lawyer, most likely to be disbarred, is to appear in Court in February for sentencing where he faces up to seven years behind bars.

The lawyer, Tolan Furusho of Bellevue, Wash., boasts of being the world's strongest lawyer, having bench-pressed 532 pounds to set a world record. But it looks like the 188-pound shyster is going to have plenty of time to lift weights if they send him to the can. But wait, this slippery character could slip out of the grasp of prison strips if he turns on infamous Canadian stock promoter Beverlee Kamerling, a.k.a. the Queen of Outrage, whom he has represented for years.

Beverly is so bad that BC securities regulators actually banned her from being involved in any British Columbia stock deals - And you have to be pretty bad to get slapped around up there. But wait, Kamerling merely drove an hour or so South to Washington state where she set up shop alongside her groovy weight lifting lawyer and here too the Queen of Outrage lost her crown in 1999 when the SEC banned her for life. The BC episode came down in 1989.

Meanwhile, back in Canada... the Queen was at it again, only this time her unscrupulous activity was uncovered by Alberta regulators who banned Kamerling for life - and her lawyer, Furusho, for 10 years! Figures, two-time Canadian swindler Vs. first-time American lawyer out to swindle Canadians of their hard earned loonies.

Turns out the Queen and World's Strongest Lawyer were out to bilk Canadian investors through a shell they controlled called Goldtech Mining Corp. - a Nevada corporation. (tipreport can't find a trading symbol for it)

The deal that got Furusho in trouble in Seattle was America Asia Energy Corp., which he falsely claimed shares could be freely traded - which was absolutely untrue. The company claimed it had coal properties in Wyoming, which may have lured unsuspecting investors into it.

This sweetheart of legal ethics is [was] the lawyer for another infamous stock touted last year via that ever popular tool for savvy penny stock promoters - email. if you're dying of curiosity to know the name - it's Pegasus Gaming Corp. (OTC: PGGG.PK).

The penny stock shills ran Pegasus up to 80 cents last year before the bottom fell out after U.S. regulators outlawed online gaming - remember that? At no fault - perhaps luckily - to Furusho and most likely - behind the curtain somewhere the Queen herself who's M/O is [was] massive email spam campaigns - often done through third-party penny stock websites and then, in mass, if the story is sexy enough.

Regulators are so far tight-lipped about Pegasus Gaming and it's still trading - for a penny share - if there are any real gamblers out there who want to buy a piece of swindler history if the feds manage to swing criminal charges against the Queen [assuming she was behind the Pegasus stock hype last year] and put her behind bars where she [allegedly may] belong.
