Universal Express
Universal Express claimed to be a transportation and logistics service company and was registered in Nevada and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida.〔(Complaint: Universal Express, Inc., Richard Altomare, Chris Gunderson, Mark Neuhaus, George Sandhu, Spiga Limited, and Tarun Mendiratta. )〕 However, investigation by the SEC clearly revealed that the primary business of USXP was the production of and distribution of billions of illegal, unregistered shares. The money from these sales went directly to support the lavish lifestyle of Richard Altomare and his supporters. Some funds were diverted to advertising designed to push the sale of additional shares.
CEO Richard A. Altomare took control of the defunct Packaging Plus Services in 1988, and immediately began issuing billions of illegal and unregistered shares of stock, before the company collapsed in 2007. In later years, the company became known for accusations of naked short selling and questionable S.E.C. filings.〔Norris, Floyd, ("A Sad Tale of Fictional SEC Filings" ), ''The New York Times'', June 22, 2007〕〔Universal Express, Inc., ("Universal Express CEO Requests Investigation Into Ex-Clearing Portfolios" ), ''Marketwire'', June 21, 2007〕 A receiver was appointed for Universal Express by a federal judge at the request of the S.E.C.〔http://www.bizjournals.com/southflorida/stories/2008/05/12/story4.html〕 The judge ordered Universal and its top officers to pay $21.9 million and barred them from future penny stock sales.〔Norris, Floyd, ("S.E.C. Requests Receiver for Universal Express" ), ''The New York Times'', June 23, 2007〕
Altomare was ordered to prison for contempt of court in April 2008.〔Norris, Floyd, ("Jail for Altomare?" ), ''The New York Times'', Business Blog, April 21, 2008〕 In May, 2008,〔http://norris.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/02/jail-day-for-altomare/〕 he was incarcerated in the Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York City.〔(Search of the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator )〕 Altomare has been barred from being an executive of any public company. A federal court judge, in finding that the company and its top officers had violated securities laws, called Altomare, and Universal Express' general counsel, Chris Gunderson, "repeated and remorseless violators" of the securities laws.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/21/business/worldbusiness/21iht-norris.4.6267140.html〕
==Services==
The company's UniversalPost network claimed to provide support infrastructure for private Postal Service Centers. Independent contacts with the claimed partner postal center revealed they were not aware of any relationship with USXP. Its Luggage Express service allowed travelers to have their luggage collected and delivered separately from their personal travel arrangements. Michael Xirinachs was charged with engaging in unregistered distribution and sale of over 21 billion shares of Universal Express. He too received an injunction, disgorgement, civil penalties, and a penny stock bar.
