York, and BARRY W. MAWN, Assistant Director-in-Chars' o f the Federal Bureau of

manipulating the stock price of Stan Lee Media, Inc. ("Stan Lee Media"), a NASDAQ•traded

Internet•based production and marketing companybased in Encino, California. PAUL co-
founded Stan Lee Media, along with comic book character creator, Stan Lee, who is not charged
in the indictment. Prior to the formation of Stan Lee Media, Lee had created characterssuch as
Spidernaan, the Incredible Hulk and the X-Men, while working at Marvel Comics. Stan Lee
Media was created to produce and promote new comic book characters and stories created by
Lee.
Stan Let Media's fraudulent schemewas orchestrated by PAUL, GORDON, who
servedas Stan Lee Media's Executive Vice President, PITTSBURG, a Wall Street analyst and
owner of the broker-dealerircsearch firm Pittsburg Institutional, located on Long Island, and
KUSCHE, a stock promoter from Darien, Connecticut, who did businessas W.S,C.G. Holdings,
L.L.C. These defendants are all charged with securities fraud, as well as conspiracy to commit
securities fraud. Thi• case is the result of a joint investigation conducted by the United States
Attorney's Office, the Postal Inspection Service and the FBI.
The defendants are charged with using various means to inflate artificially and
maintain the price of Stan Lee Media stock and to profit from the sale of the stock at its
artificially inflated and maintained price, as well as from other transactions involving Stan Lee
Media stock. Throughout the scheme, PAUL, GORDON and PITTSBURG manipulated the
stock by making transactions through, between andamong "nominee" accounts that were set up
to hide their control and ownership of the stock, and to manipulate and to disguise their
manipulation of the price of the stock.
As part of thescheme, PAUL and GORDON hired analyst PITTSBURG to tout
Stan Lee Media to the investing public. To that end, they made false and misleading statements

It should be noted, at this time, Senator Hillary Clinton is not a target of this investigation.
BACKGROUND
In August 2001, LAFO began a full field investigation into allegations that New York
Senate 2000, a joint fund-raising committee affiliated with Hillary Clinton's United States Senate
Campaign, violated federal campaign finance laws and made false statements to the FEC.
Specifically, these allegations center around a fund-raising event held on August 12, 2000 in Los
Angeles, California, entitled "THE HOLLYWOOD GALA SALUTE TO PRESIDENT
WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON' (GALA). This event raised approximately $1 million for
New York Senate 2000, which in turn, distributed allowable proceeds to the HILLARY
CLINTON FOR UNITED STATES SENATE CAMPAIGN. The GALA was hosted by comic
book legend Stan Lee and of an Internet media company b6
b7C
called Stan Lee Media (SLM).
The LAFO investigation has revealed that New York Senate 2000 deliberately
undervalued the in-kind contributions made by a n d SLM in staging the GALA. I n filings to
the FEC, New York Senate 2000 claimed in-kind contributions of expenses for the GALA of
approximately $400,000. However, the investigation has uncovered the true value of the in-kind
contributions to be more than $1 million dollars. A s a result, New York Senate 2000 distributed
prohibited federal or "hard money" proceeds of more than $200,000 to the HILLARY CLINTON
FOR UNITED STATES SENATE campaign.
