AEGIS CAPITAL CORP NAMED IN FINRA SECURITIES ARBITRATION FINRA SECURITIES ARBITRATION, STOCKBROKER FRAUD NEWS | 02. FEB, 2017 BY NICHOLAS J. GUILIANO | 0 COMMENTS John David Fenimore, of Melville, New York, a stockbroker formerly registered with Aegis Capital Corp., has been named in a customer initiated investment related arbitration claim on June 9, 2014, in which the customer requested $250,000.00 in damages based upon allegations that Fenimore utilized the customer’s margin in an unsuitable manner, effected equity trades in the customer’s account on an excessive and unsuitable basis, and breached his contractual duties. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Public Disclosure also reveals that on May 28, 2014, a customer initiated investment related arbitration claim involving Fenimore’s conduct was settled for $210,000.00 in damages based upon allegations that Fenimore utilized the customer’s margin in an excessive manner and recklessly traded speculative over-the-counter equity transactions in the customer’s account. Since January 29, 1999, Fenimore has been associated with nine different broker dealers, seven of which has been expelled by securities regulators for violation of federal securities laws or is otherwise defunct. #cockroach. The the Melville, New York office of Aegis Capital is located at 510 Broadhollow Road, Suite104, Mellville, New York 11747. Other Aegis Captital stockbrokers working out of this office include: Sports, Let's no get over our skies. My company gets sued for way more money then $250,000 for a mere slip and fall which results in a bruised coccyx within our restaurant business. An Aegis customer suing for 250k is peanuts. They'll settle for $50-100k and move on. Let's hope Aegis is our ticket to money and hope that all the institutional investors did not sell out. If they did in fact abandon ship, you and I both know that they know more then the street and retail investors do. fingers crossed I do not hope they are our ticket to money. And I really don't know how we got here with no word from management. And no confirmation from them that this is what they are up to? |

I felt compelled to create a username and comment due to the rampant misinformation/speculation in this thread. I called Aegis and received their voicemail, Afterwards i emailed IR asking if the Aegis mailer was spam or something that should be taken more seriously.
This is the response from Mannkind IR:
"As for the mailing, given our limited resources, Aegis Capital, a firm who has followed MNKD for many years, proposed this FINRA approved shareholder communications program which represented a cost effective way to proactively communicate with our shareholders to provide corporate updates. Aegis did not charge MNKD any fee for this service nor do they receive any compensation whatsoever from MNKD related to their efforts on the Company's behalf. The firm provides corporate solutions, among other services, and this communication program was intended to demonstrate their full suite of capabilities related to client services which could include future financing, risk management services, employee benefit plans, etc.. Given our stock price and diminished market cap, despite commercial progress (albeit currently underwhelming), we viewed this program as a positive, very low cost outreach to our many stockholders. We often address the disgruntled who contact the Company and can only hope that our other stockholders are reading our press releases or listening to our periodic updates. Aegis was only deployed after an extensive in-person teach-in at our Danbury facility a couple of weeks ago, after which the Aegis team was equipped to provide our stockholders with a corporate update and to walk them through the opportunity we believe continues to exist at MNKD."

What's been communicated? Whatever it is, Nostradamus would have given us better clues. |

Since Mannkind's address is on the front of the card, including the phone number, I called the Mannkind number listed and asked about the card. A woman answered that it is legitimate and that Mannkind is aware. She added that in order to get additional information I would need to call the contact number listed on the back of the card (Aegis Capital).
I am not going to call Aegis but it is strange that Mannkind is not coming forward with some PR to investors regarding this.
It do not like the way this is being presented...

Aegis looks like a boiler room shop that is trying to drum up some business by taking advantage of nervous shareholders. The fact that they are under investigation by the SEC, FINRA and FINCEN only underscores this. link
It would appear that the "response from IR" is meant to mislead and if you are inclined to contact Aegis based on this, I would reconfirm with the company yourself (using the info from the website) prior to doing so. Here is the link to contacting Investor Relations from the company website: Proceed with caution. link

Free stock promotion until heard otherwise. It cost money to send thousands of post cards out and then 800 toll free number that nobody returns call from. There is more to the situation.
Stay Tuned.

I was bummed out thinking I was being left out, but just received my 3 yellow cards in this afternoon's mail. I'm not a high roller, so likely all shareholders will get a card for each of their accounts. I called Rose's phone number (the MNKD number on the cards) and confirmed that the cards were sent on MNKD's behalf, in case there was any doubt about that. Based on the quote from the MNKD IR post above and falcon's description of his phone conversation with Aegis, it looks to me like what Aegis is doing is different from what they told MNKD they would be doing. That's what happens when your agree to an offer from a somewhat suspect organization to help you out gratis. You get what you pay for. |

My Cards had Bryan Lubitz SVP Frank Giacalone SVP. Mine had Shelley Levene, Dave Moss, George Aaronow and Bernie Madoff. You might have to do a little research on the first three.  |
