The Wire was right

Have you ever watched the Wire? In season one, there's a scene where Lester's telling Prez how to follow the paper trail of secretive companies and he says that even when people are trying to hide their tracks, they always use the same lawyers. Well, Lester was right. And you know what, it doesn't surprise me. I always liked him, maybe even better than Omar,.

Numbered Company: Canadian Economic Press aka CEP News
Numbered Company: Vigilant Futures


Lawyers for both: Spiegel Sohmer

The directors of Vigilant Futures are Arvind Ramanathan and Joshua Felker.

Stay tuned.

Lester was my favorite character on the wire. He even gets the hot girl.

Vigilant Futures and CEP News both came into existance at around the same time. At one point they even had the same address.

I'll try and find a URL for you my little friend.

Forget wires :-) Looks like Vigilant Futures maybe on the ropes! I am no expert but is it legal for them to have a media organization? (Not accusing, just asking)

I've gotta start watching The Wire!

Illinois Secretary of State Website database search for registered LLC's.

NTKN and Allston Trading have the same address for the Principal Office

440 SOUTH LASALLE, SUITE 1208
CHICAGO, IL 60605

Could be something, could be nothing.


Another interesting address. The listed Manager in Need to Know News is one John Harada, the listed address for this manager is:

200 W. MADISON STE 700, CHICAGO, IL - 60606

Principal Office street Address for Jed Capital LLC is:

200 W MADISON ST STE 700
CHICAGO, IL 60606

Could be nothing, could be something

Also, search JED and NTKN again on the same website, they share the same Agent as well:

DAVID J. MORRIS

This really could be nothing as I think the State of Il allows agents to serice multiple clients.
