Three Canadian firms and 47 individuals from New York, Florida, Canada, California and the West Indies faced charges of mail fraud and securities violations. Indictments cover Atlas Gypsum Corp. stock sold for up to 3 per share after 0.20 bought, with over 2,000 victims and at least 800,000 collected.
