Interestingly enough, Stan Lee himself appeared on the TV game show
"To Tell The Truth" yesterday, June 12th...
No mention of his financial troubles, and of course the show was
prerecorded at an earlier date...but a strange coincidence,
nonetheless...

Paul Indicted for Stock Manipulation
The co-founder
of Stan Lee Media, a company that produces and promotes new
comic book
characters and stories, was indicted Tuesday with three other
people on
charges they manipulated the company's stock and cost investors
more
than $25 million.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern
District of New York was seeking
Peter Paul's extradition from Brazil,
where he is believed to be living.
Two other defendants Stephen M.
Gordon, Stan Lee Media's executive vice
president, and Charles Kusche,
a stock promoter from Darien, Conn. were
arrested Tuesday. Jeffrey
Pittsburg, a Wall Street analyst and owner of
the
broker-dealer/research firm Pittsburg Institutional, was
previously
arrested.
All four are charged with securities fraud
and conspiracy to commit
securities fraud. Attorneys for the defendants
were not immediately
available for comment.
Stan Lee, the
creator of comic book characters such as Spiderman and the
Incredible
Hulk, was not charged in the indictment.
