Questcor Pharmaceuticals (QCOR) believes thetreetsweeper.org is a fraud. Here is an explanation from QCOR:
On January 9 Questcor Pharmaceuticals received a communication from an individual representing herself to be associated with a website identified as StreetSweeper.org. The individual requested that the company provide responses to a series of questions about the company by January 10. Due to management’s schedule, the individual was offered an opportunity to have the questions answered by management on Monday, January 16. Questcor has been unable to determine the exact nature of StreetSweeper.org, its ownership structure, or its revenue sources. The website, thestreetsweeper.org, provides no information on these topics, and standard listings about it are limited and opaque. Based on our examination to date, we believe that the website lists people that it claims are associated with it, one of whom the website and media reports identify as a felon who pled guilty to two conspiracy charges and who later pled guilty to racketeering charges related to stock manipulation, another of whom has the same name as an individual who, according to media reports, was arrested recently for kidnapping and extortion, and another of whom has the same name as an individual who, according to media reports, has been involved in extensive litigation regarding fraud, defamation, and slander.
