Cecil F. Speight of West Palm Beach, Florida, was sentenced to 42 months in prison following a guilty plea to conspiracy to commit mail and securities fraud. Speight defrauded 72 investors out of more than $3 million operating an Internet stock scheme through his company International Stock Transfer (IST).
IST was founded by Speight in 2004 with offices in Palm Beach, Florida. Speight used cold callers and fake websites to entice victims into investing their money in allegedly high yield securities purportedly associated with IST. Investors were directed to wire funds into purportedly secure attorney escrow accounts. Once there, Speight typically stole the funds for his own use.
