UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA 

CASE NO. 

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

PROFILE SOLUTIONS, INC., 

DAN ORAN, and 

LEONARD M. TUCKER 

Defendants. 

 / 

COMPLAINT FOR INJUNCTIVE AND OTHER RELIEF 

Plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) alleges: 

I. INTRODUCTION 

1. This case concerns a fraudulent penny stock scheme involving a purported 

cannabinoid and hemp company called Profile Solutions, Inc. (“Profile” or the “Company”). 

2. At the center of this fraudulent scheme are convicted felon and SEC recidivist 

Leonard M. Tucker and his colleague Dan Oran. Oran held the title of CEO of Profile, while Tucker 

worked secretly in an executive capacity at Profile. 

3. To lure investors, Oran and Tucker, directly and through Profile, told a series of 

material misrepresentations and omissions to the investing public. 

4. For example, Oran authorized Profile to issue press releases claiming, among other 

things, that Profile had obtained “preliminary approval” to grow and process medical cannabis and 

hemp in the Kingdom of Eswatini, a nation in Africa formerly known as Swaziland (“Eswatini”). 

5. This was false. In truth, when Oran authorized and Profile issued the press releases 

it was illegal to grow cannabis in Eswatini – a fact the Defendants failed to disclose to investors. 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 1 of 22

6. The Defendants made these same misrepresentations and omissions about Eswatini 

to the public in Profile’s registration filings with the SEC. 

7. And the Defendants did not stop there. On a registration filing with the SEC that 

required Profile to identify all individuals acting in a management or executive capacity, the 

Defendants failed to disclose that Tucker, a convicted felon, acted as an executive of Profile. 

8. The fraudulent scheme operated behind multiple veils of secrecy built of the 

Defendants’ lies to conceal: (1) the true nature of Profile’s operations in Eswatini; (2) the fact that 

Profile’s purported business in Eswatini was a crime there; (3) that contrary to the Defendants’ 

representations, Profile did not have third parties poised and approved to distribute Profile’s cannabis 

products in Central and South America; and (4) that Tucker, a convicted felon and SEC recidivist, 

was acting in an executive or management capacity at Profile. 

9. These lies, and the scheme the Defendants employed to perpetuate them in 

connection with the offer, purchase, and sale of Profile penny stocks, form the basis of this action. 

II. DEFENDANTS AND RELATED ENTITY 

A. Defendants 

10. Profile is a Florida corporation with its principal office in Sunrise, Florida. The 

Company was initially created as a Delaware corporation in 2006 and its original name was YaFarm 

Technologies, Inc. On January 22, 2013, the Company effected a 5 for 1 stock split. In May 2014, 

the Company’s name changed to Integrative Stem Cell Holdings, Inc. (“Integrative”) after Integrative 

acquired the Company. On May 29, 2014, Integrative entered into a share exchange agreement 

pursuant to which they acquired the assets and business of Profile Solutions, Inc., a Florida 

corporation, and the Company’s name changed to Profile Solutions, Inc. 

11. From at least 2007 until June 2019, the Company’s shares were quoted on OTC Link 

(previously known as “Pink Sheets”), operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. The ticker symbol is 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 2 of 22
3

“PSIQ.” On October 19, 2018, Profile filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the SEC. On 

March 5, 2019, Profile filed an amended Form S-1/A registration statement with the SEC to sell up 

to 166,517,203 shares of its securities at $0.16 per share on behalf of certain selling shareholders. 

Profile’s registration statement has not yet gone effective. 

12. On June 18, 2019, the SEC issued an Order suspending trading in the securities of 

Profile for ten business days because of questions that were raised about the accuracy and adequacy 

of information in the marketplace relating to Profile’s common stock. 

13. Since the June 2019 trading suspension, quotes for Profile’s securities on OTC Link 

have been limited to unsolicited quoting activity. 

14. Oran resides in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Oran has been the chief executive officer 

and president of Profile since December 2017. Oran owns 38.3% of Profile’s common stock. 

15. Tucker resides in Boca Raton, Florida. Contrary to the Profile website, which 

identified Tucker only as a consultant, Tucker has acted as an undisclosed de facto executive officer 

of Profile since no later than October 2018, and he owned 14.5% of Profile’s common stock. Tucker 

is a former registered representative and was last associated in 1989 with F.D. Roberts Securities, 

Inc., a now defunct broker-dealer, where he was the chairman of the board. 

16. In September 1990, Tucker pled guilty to three felony counts of securities fraud, 

conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and violating a federal RICO statute. U.S. v. Leonard Tucker, 

Case No. 90-132 (D. NJ Sept. 1990). On October 14, 1993, the Court sentenced Tucker to 24 months 

in prison and he was released from federal prison in August 1995. 

17. On September 8, 1993, the SEC filed an enforcement action against Tucker in the 

Southern District of Florida, alleging that Tucker participated in a fraudulent scheme to manipulate 

the market prices of certain securities issued in connection with an initial public offering (IPO). SEC 

v. Tucker, et al., Case No. 9:93-cv-08465 (S.D. Fla.) (J. Nesbitt). In February 1994, the District 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 3 of 22
4

Court for the Southern District of Florida, by Tucker’s consent, permanently enjoined Tucker from 

violating the anti-fraud, registration, and broker-dealer books and records provisions of the federal 

securities laws, and ordered Tucker to disgorge $625,000 in ill-gotten gains. 

18. In January 1995, the SEC instituted administrative proceedings, made findings, and 

imposed remedial sanctions against Tucker, by his consent. In the Matter of Leonard M. Tucker, 

Exchange Act Release No. 34-35262 (Jan. 1995). Pursuant to that Order, Tucker remains 

permanently barred from associating with any broker-dealer, investment company, and investment 

adviser. 

B. Related Entity 

19. Elite Products International, Inc. (“Elite”) is a Florida Company. Elite is a 

subsidiary of Profile. On December 14, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange 

Agreement with Elite and Elite’s stockholders, issuing an aggregate total of 600,000 shares which 

represented approximately 85% of the Company’s then-issued and outstanding common stock to 

acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Elite. As part of this transaction, the 

Company’s authorized common stock increased to 1 million shares. Through Elite, the Company is 

in the business of manufacturing, marketing and selling food products, such as cookies, candies, 

“crystal pop,” honey, multi-vitamins, topical products, and vaping liquids, containing extracts from 

the cannabinoid and industrial hemp plant. 

III. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 

20. The Court has jurisdiction over this action pursuant to Sections 20(b), 20(d), and 

22(a) of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 77t(b), 77t(d), and 77v(a); and Sections 21(d), 21(e), and 

Section 27 of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78u(d), 78u(e), and 78aa. This Court has personal 

jurisdiction over the Defendants, and venue is proper in the Southern District of Florida, because 

many of the Defendants' acts and transactions constituting violations of the Securities Act and the 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 4 of 22
5

Exchange Act occurred in the Southern District of Florida. During the time of the violations at issue 

in this case, Profile’s principal office was located in the Southern District of Florida, Profile is a 

Florida corporation, and Oran and Tucker operated Profile out of the Southern District of Florida 

from no later than October 2018 until at least May 2019. Oran, the chief executive officer and 

president of Profile since December 2017, resides in the Southern District of Florida. Tucker, who 

acted as a de facto executive officer of Profile since no later than October 2018, resides in the 

Southern District of Florida. 

21. In connection with the conduct alleged in this Complaint, the Defendants, directly 

and indirectly, singly or in concert with others, have made use of the means or instrumentalities of 

interstate commerce, the means or instruments of transportation and communication in interstate 

commerce, and the mails. 

IV. THE FRAUDULENT SCHEME 

22. According to its SEC filings, Profile, through its subsidiary Elite, is in the business 

of manufacturing, marketing and selling food products, such as cookies, candies, “crystal pop,” 

honey, multi-vitamins, topical products, and vaping liquids, containing extracts from the cannabinoid 

and industrial hemp plant. 

23. From at least 2007 until June 2019, Profile’s shares were quoted on OTC Link and 

following a trading suspension in July 2019, Profile’s shares on OTC Link have been limited to 

unsolicited quoting activity only. 

24. From 2007 through present, the Profile shares have been “penny stocks” and have 

qualified as such because, among other things, the securities were not an “NMS stock,” as defined in 

17 CFR 242.600(b)(55); (2) traded below five dollars per share during the relevant period; (3) Profile 

had net tangible assets and average revenue below the thresholds of Rules 3a51-1(g)(1) and (2) under 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 5 of 22
6

the Exchange Act; and (4) the securities did not meet any of the other exceptions from the definition 

of “penny stock” contained in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act. 

25. From no later than October 2018 until at least March 2019, Oran and Tucker, directly 

and through Profile, engaged in promotional activities through which they made a series of material 

misrepresentations and omissions in press releases, on social media, on the Profile website, and in 

SEC filings. 

26. The Defendants’ promotional activities materially impacted the market for Profile’s 

stock. 

A. Materially False and Misleading Press Releases and Social Media Posts 

27. From no later than October 2018 until at least March 2019, Oran and Tucker 

participated in the issuance of at least six false and misleading press releases about Profile that 

materially impacted the market for Profile’s stock (collectively, the “Press Releases”). 

28. Tucker drafted the Press Releases, and Oran reviewed them and gave final approval 

before they were issued to the public. 

29. The Press Releases included quotes attributed to Oran that Tucker authored. 

30. During this time period, Profile, Oran, and Tucker made material misstatements or 

omissions in at least six Press Releases issued by the Company. 

1. Materially False and Misleading Press Releases Regarding a Purported Deal in Eswatini 

31. From no later than October 10, 2018 until at least March 6, 2019, the Defendants 

made misrepresentations and omissions about Profile and the Eswatini Ministry of Economic 

Planning and Development (the “Eswatini Ministry”) in at least four separate press releases. 

32. On October 10, 2018, Profile issued a press release, which Tucker authored and Oran 

approved for distribution to the investing public (the “October 2018 Press Release). 

33. The October 2018 Press Release: 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 6 of 22
7

 a. Announced that the Company had received “preliminary approval” from the 

Eswatini Ministry to establish an “exclusive growing farm and processing plant for medical cannabis 

and hemp” in Eswatini; 

 b. Touted a purported agreement with Eswatini that would grant Profile 

“exclusive license and permits” for ten years to: (1) operate an advanced hemp and medical cannabis 

growing and manufacturing facility; (2) export hemp and medical cannabis worldwide; (3) operate a 

medical cannabis research and development laboratory; and (4) create a training facility to create 

jobs for Eswatini citizens; 

 c. Claimed that Eswatini would provide Profile with land in exchange for 

Profile’s investment of up to $5 million in the venture; and 

 d. Included a quote attributed to Oran stating that “this opportunity could 

generate $20 to $30 million in annual revenues” and that “we anticipate our first flowers to be ready 

to be sold within 12 months.” 

34. The Defendants lacked any reasonable basis for making these representations in the 

October 2018 Press Release. 

35. The representations in the October 2018 Press Release were materially false and 

misleading. 

36. Contrary to the representation in the October 2018 Press Release that Profile had 

obtained “preliminary approval” to grow and cultivate cannabis in Eswatini, in truth Profile had 

received no such preliminary approval. 

37. In truth, when the Defendants issued the October 2018 Press Release, the Defendants 

had received nothing more than a September 3, 2018 letter from Eswatini’s Ministry stating “We 

refer to your letter dated 28 March 2018. We thank you for your interest to invest in [Eswatini] in 

this new and innovative field of business” (the “Letter”). 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 7 of 22
8

38. In the Letter, the Eswatini Ministry explicitly told the Defendants that the Letter 

“represents only an initial indication of [Eswatini’s] interest to engage with [Profile] with respect to 

the new proposed operation.” 

39. In the Letter, the Eswatini Ministry made no mention of any of the license or permit 

terms the Defendants detailed in Profile’s October 2018 Press Release. The Letter is bereft of any 

reference to an exclusive license or permit, let alone one for ten years, to do anything, including but 

not limited to, an advanced hemp and medical cannabis growing and manufacturing facility, 

exporting hemp and medical cannabis worldwide, operating a medical cannabis research and 

development laboratory, or creating a training facility to create jobs for Eswatini citizens. 

40. Accordingly, the representations in the October 2018 Press Release were false and 

misleading. 

41. However, the following month, the Defendants repeated the same false and 

misleading promotion of Profile to the investing public. 

42. On November 13, 2018, Oran and Tucker caused Profile to issue another press 

release authored by Tucker and approved for distribution by Oran (the “November 2018 Press 

Release”). 

43. In the November 2018 Press Release, the Defendants again touted Eswatini’s 

“preliminary approval” for Profile to establish a growing farm and processing plant for medical 

cannabis and hemp in Eswatini. 

44. When the Defendants issued the November 2018 Press Release for distribution to 

the investing public, Eswatini had not provided any such preliminary approval. Accordingly, the 

November 13, 2018 Press Release was false. 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 8 of 22
9

45. The Defendants continued making the same misrepresentations about Profile and 

Eswatini two months later, in a press release published January 16, 2019 that Tucker authored and 

Oran approved for distribution (the “January 2019 Press Release”). 

46. Less than two months later, on March 6, 2019, the Defendants issued a press release 

on behalf of Profile announcing, among other things, that Profile’s application to grow and process 

cannabis in Eswatini was “near[ing] approval.” (the “March 2019 Press Release”). 

47. The March 2019 Press Release was false and misleading. Far from being near 

approval, when the March 2019 Press Release was issued the Eswatini Ministry had sent nothing 

more than the September 3, 2018 Letter – explicitly telling the Defendants that the Ministry was 

expressing nothing more than an “initial indication of interest.” 

48. The October 2018, November 2018, January 2019, and March 2019 Press Releases 

were also materially misleading for another reason. 

49. In 2018 and 2019, cannabis was illegal in Eswatini. 

50. In the October 2018, November 2018, January 2019, and March 2019 Press 

Releases, the Defendants touted Profile’s purported cannabis business deals with Eswatini, but failed 

to disclose that cannabis was in fact illegal in Eswatini. 

2. Materially False and Misleading Tweets Regarding a Purported Deal in Eswatini 

51. Tucker chose to retain the services of an individual with the initials “A.B.” in Canada 

to provide graphics for social media posts. Tucker sent A.B. press releases, A.B. created graphics, 

and then A.B. emailed the graphics to Tucker for use in Profile’s social media posts. Tucker then 

caused Profile to post the social media posts on the technology application called Twitter (“tweets.”). 

52. In October 2018, Tucker drafted and/or authorized for publication at least three tweet 

messages that were published to the public on Profile’s Twitter account, making materially false and 

misleading statements concerning the supposed Eswatini deal (the “October 2018 Twitter Posts”). 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 9 of 22
10

53. In a message Tucker drafted and caused to be posted to Profile’s public Twitter page 

on October 10, 2018, Profile announced that Profile “will now be setting up a major Medical 

Cannabis growing and processing operation and will be selling WORLDWIDE!” 

54. Specifically, the tweet was as follows: 

55. Similarly, on October 15, 2018, Tucker caused the following tweet to be published 

on Profile’s Twitter page available to the public:

56. On October 24, 2018, Tucker caused the following tweet to be posted on Profile’s 

Twitter page available to the public: 

57. In a message Tucker drafted and caused to be posted to Profile’s public Twitter page 

on October 26, 2018, Profile announced that Eswatini was “set to grant [the Company] the required 

licenses and permits to research, grow [and] distribute worldwide.” 

58. The October 2018 Twitter Posts were false and misleading. 

59. In the October 2018 Twitter Posts, Tucker, on behalf of Profile, touted the Eswatini 

deal. However, when Tucker published the October 2018 Twitter Posts on Profile’s social media 

page, Eswatini had only sent the Defendants an “initial indication of interest” - and nothing more.

12

business to Eswatini, cannabis was illegal in Eswatini – a material fact Tucker knew and failed to 

disclose. 

3. Materially False and Misleading Press Releases Regarding an International Distributor 

60. In a December 4, 2018 press release drafted by Tucker and approved for distribution 

by Oran, Profile announced that it had granted exclusive distribution rights to sell its cannabis 

products in Mexico and Argentina to a company (which company is identified in this Complaint as 

having the initials “RCS”) (the “December 2018 Press Release) “with a first year minimum guarantee 

of $500,000 and 20% growth per year thereafter.” 

61. The December 2018 Press Release included a quote from Oran explaining that with 

medical cannabis now legal in Mexico and Argentina, there is “tremendous opportunity for growth” 

and that RCS “will best monetize the opportunity” for Profile. 

62. The December 2018 Press Release omitted material information necessary to make 

the representations made in it not misleading. Specifically, the release failed to mention that RCS 

was not licensed, or otherwise legally able, to distribute Profile’s cannabis products in Mexico and 

Argentina. 

63. A few months later, on March 21, 2019, Profile issued another press release 

regarding RCS, announcing that it had now granted that company exclusive distribution rights to sell 

Profile’s products in Paraguay, Chile and Brazil, “with a first year minimum guarantee of $500,000 

and 20% growth per year thereafter.” (March 2019 Press Release”). 

64. In a quote contained in the March 2019 Press Release, Oran stated that Profile 

granted the additional distribution rights “[b]ased upon the success and commitment being made in 

Mexico and Argentina by RCS,” and that the Company expects the relationship with RCS to 

“continue to flourish to increasing revenues.” 

65. The March 2019 Press Release is false and misleading for at least three reasons. 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 12 of 22
13

66. First, unlike the RCS agreement for Mexico and Argentina, the distribution 

agreement between Profile and RCS for Paraguay, Chile and Brazil did not provide for a “minimum 

guarantee of $500,000 and 20% growth per year thereafter.” 

67. Second, Oran’s quote claiming that Profile granted the additional distribution rights 

based on RCS’s success in Mexico and Argentina is false and misleading. 

68. RCS never obtained licenses to distribute Profile’s cannabis products in these two 

countries and was therefore unable legally to make sales in those nations. 

69. By the time Profile issued the March 2019 Press Release, RCS had only ordered 

about $7,200 in sample products from Profile over the course of several months and never sold any 

of it in Mexico and Argentina. Thus, contrary to the press release, RCS had no success selling 

Profile’s products in those countries. 

70. Neither Oran nor Tucker ever contacted RCS to find out if RCS company was 

licensed to sell cannabis products in Mexico and Argentina. Nor did Oran and Tucker have any 

reasonable basis to claim that RCS had been successful in those markets. 

71. At all relevant times, Tucker knew RCS needed to file documents with both the 

Mexican and Argentinian authorities in order to obtain licenses to sell cannabis products and had not 

yet done so. 

72. Third, the representation in the March 2019 Press Release that there was a “$500,000 

minimum guarantee” was patently false. There was no such guarantee. 

B. The False and Misleading Press Releases and Social Media Posts 

Had a Material Impact on Profile’s Stock Price 

73. The false and misleading Press Releases had a material impact on Profile’s stock 

price. 

74. Prior to the Defendants issuing the Press Releases, Profile’s stock price hovered 

around an average of $0.15 per share. 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 13 of 22
14

75. However, during the five-month period starting from when Profile issued the 

October 2018 Press Release until Profile issued the March 2019 Press Release, Profile’s stock price 

increased by more than 75 percent, rising steadily and continuously to close at about $0.26 a share 

on March 21, 2019. 

76. Moreover, during this same five-month period, Profile’s share price closed as high 

as $0.60. 

77. Throughout this five-month period, Profile met the definition of a penny stock 

established by Section 3(a)(51) and Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act because it did not list net 

tangible assets totaling more than $5 million in its SEC filings. 

C. Profile’s Materially False and Misleading Registration Statements

78. Through Oran and Tucker, Profile made false and misleading statements in filings 

with the SEC regarding Tucker’s role at Profile and Profile’s Eswatini deal. 

1. Material Omissions Regarding Tucker’s Role at Profile 

79. Profile, through Oran and Tucker, made false and misleading statements in Profile’s 

October 19, 2018 Form S-1 registration statement (“Registration Statement”) and March 5, 2019 

Form S-1/A amended registration statement (“Amended Statement”) (collectively, the 

“Statements”). Oran signed the registration statements as the chief executive officer of Profile. 

80. Tucker participated in drafting the Statements, including providing information to 

the drafting attorney, commenting on drafts, providing information for revisions and review, and 

Oran reviewed them and gave final approval before they were filed with the SEC. 

81. The Statements both failed to disclose that Tucker was a de facto executive officer 

of Profile. 

82. In truth, Tucker, a convicted felon, acted as an executive officer of Profile beginning 

no later than October 2018 and ending no earlier than May 2019, during which time: 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 14 of 22
15

 a. Tucker had significant influence over Profile’s affairs and played a key role in 

Profile’s operations. For example, Tucker decided when to issue press releases and what quotes to 

include in them. He acted as Profile’s liaison with the Company’s accountants and attorneys in 

preparing and finalizing the information contained in the registration statements. Tucker dealt with 

the Company’s stock transfer agent. Oran heavily relied on Tucker for nearly all aspects of running 

Profile, as Oran did not have any prior experience with running a public company. 

 b. Tucker was actively involved in drafting and editing portions of the Statements 

on behalf of Profile and Tucker provided data that went into the filings, including information about 

Eswatini and RCS. 

 c. Tucker acted on behalf of Profile to serve as the liaison with Profile’s 

accountants and attorneys in preparing and finalizing the information contained in the Statements. 

 d. Tucker acted on behalf of Profile to serve as the liaison with Profile’s stock 

transfer agent. 

 e. Tucker had the authority to post information on behalf of Profile to the OTC 

Market’s website. 

 f. Tucker drafted Profile agreements, such as the RCS distribution agreements, 

and met with Profile’s business partners. 

 g. Tucker operated Profile’s Twitter social media account. 

 h. Tucker chose the individual responsible for handling Profile’s “investor 

awareness services.” 

83. Although Oran made the final decisions for Profile and was the signatory on Profile’s 

financial accounts, Tucker had a central, executive-like role at the Company. 

Case 1:22-cv-22881-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2022 Page 15 of 22
16

84. As Oran has admitted, Tucker served as Oran’s “right hand,” Tucker did 

“everything” for Profile, and Tucker worked with Oran on a daily basis in connection with consulting 

and management matters for Profile. 

2. Materially False and Misleading Representations About The Eswatini Deal 

85. Profile’s Amended Statement also included the same information and repeated the 

false claims made in the October 10, 2018 Press Release regarding the purported Eswatini deal. 

86. Like the Press Releases, the Amended Statement falsely misrepresented that Profile 

had obtained preliminary approval to grow and process medical cannabis and hemp in Eswatini and 

omitted to disclose that it was illegal to grow cannabis in that country. 

V. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF 

COUNT I 

Fraud in Violation of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5(a) of the Exchange Act 

Against all Defendants 

87. The SEC repeats and realleges paragraphs 1 through 86 of this Complaint. 

88. Oran, Tucker, and Profile, beginning no later than October 2018 and ending no
