Lev Parnas defendant in Indiana lawsuit
In August, 2008, Lev Parnas was the defendant in a lawsuit filed in Indiana. Parnas is the now notorious pal of Rudy Guiliani currently under indictment for his shenanigans for election law 'problems'. The case was Lake City Bank vs. Mvp Main Event Llc and Les had a partner, Keith Jones. Both these guys apparently were hyping a corporation and had 'money' problems. They (Jones and Parnas both operated out of the same address, 4401 Tradewinds avenue in Ft. Lauderdale. The case
resulted in a judgment against Parnas's partner and their company "Edgetech" for about 157,000 bucks.
I looked at Edgetech and apparently it was a pump and dump penny stock that was said to be dubious according to at least one investor who said
"Hey, listen up here!!. I've been trading this stock from the second month it became available. A friend was doing pretty good when they were in the 2,3, 4, dollar pump range. I was averaged in around .84 and bailed on most of my position at .45.
I've done a tone of DD on this copmpany. I've talked to Keith Jones " Vice President", several times. I even talked to Buddy with century 21 down in Florida around the time they recieved there first 10 units.
I've tracked down some history on our good friend Lev Parnas, "President" and his former shell company Dairene International. I've even spent time with Datawind out of canada.
I can tell you Lev Parnas and Dairene International booked over one million dollars in losses and only had less then 100k in revenue throughout the life of the company before they spun it off into Edgetech International. I recieved information about them from court documents where a plaintiffs attroneys were trying to track money that was filterd from a diffferent scam to Dairene.
If you would like to see the docs I'm talking about I'll post them. My final thoughts are as follows. The comapny is a scam. They have a great story but its just that, a story. These guys are jokers big time. Take a look at this link>>http://edgetechpc.com/index.php?page=management
I posted this link a while back and everyone ignored it. Notice that the two photos have the same tie on. The bags they have over there heads makes a guy wonder. I was told by Keith back in December that the firm that created the web site took the money and ran. I was also told that it would be taken care of immediatly, that was the first week in December.
When I accidently ran across the site I posted above I called Keith and left him a message about the bags. He didn't return my call. I know they have added to the site because after the CES they added a second page of photos. You would think that they would have at least gotten rid of the bags!! lol
Lev Parnas is a former stock broker and knows what the hell he's doing here. If you can get out do it. They may pump this baby again but its all smoke and mirrors. So you're playing with fire!!

I guess skipping along in the world of scams and schemes is nothing new to Lev and his buddy and here's a quote from Edgetech's site Management Team
Lev Parnas, Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Parnas has been with EdgeTech as the Founder and CEO since the inception of the Company. Prior to Edge Tech, he served as the CEO of Program Trading Corp., an NASD registered broker-dealer, for 9 years. While with and Program Trading, Mr. Parnas personally served as the lead investment banker and direct advisor to DataWind, EdgeTech's technology partner. Before the launch of Program, Mr. Parnas was a professional stockbroker and investment banker in New York and Florida working for several top-rated firms. Prior to his work in investment banking, he owned an import/export business dealing primarily between the US and the former Soviet Union. His work in import/export gave him the basis for some substantial relationships throughout Europe and Asia, which have been brought to Edge Tech.
Keith R. Jones, Vice President, Executive Associate to CEO
Mr. Jones joined EdgeTech in mid 2006 as the Vice President, bringing more than 20 years of successful sales and sales management in the telecommunications industry. Prior to Edge Tech, Mr. Jones was the Sales Director for KMC Telecom where he was responsible for managing all of the company’s wholesale accounts in the wireless industry. From 2001 through 2004, Mr. Jones was recruited to work for FPL FiberNet as the Sales Manager, where he was charged with the responsibility to shift the overall strategic direction for the company, which he did with great success.

Cool? Yeah Note the brag on Lev's awesome Russia connections!
Here's a pic of good ole Lev with Ivana back in 2015...after his Edgetech career This photo is from Lev's instagram account. Goliath found it on a blog suggesting the option of Lev selling Trump properties to Ruskies. See here: Interestingly, the other guy in the photo is Dave Correia. Dave shows up, today, as remaing to be an officer in old Lev's various corporate schemes as you can see here: https://www.bizapedia.com/people/lev-parnas.html I see "Strategic Global Assets" and "Parnas Holdings" so its a good sich for him. I will look a little further at Correia later.

So, the lawsuit and Dave Correia (and his wife) were mentioned in a more recent article about Lev's career in "Buzzfeed". https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/mikesallah/federal-investigators-are-probing-suspicious-financial
