CONYERS, GA -- November 1, 2016 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire --
GeckoSystems Intl. Corp. (Pink Sheets: GOSY | http://www.GeckoSystems.com/) announced today that the
ramifications of a recent Supreme Court of the United States
(SCOTUS) ruling --that expands States Rights-- is of particular
relevance and potentially dramatic benefit to their shareholders
due to, eg. Brown Brothers, Harriman and Company (BBH) present
indifference to their inability to determine where 50,000,000
shares (~24.1% of all freely traded shares) owned by a long time
GOSY shareholder, went without any of their knowledge and/or
permission. For over nineteen years GeckoSystems has dedicated
itself to development of "AI Mobile Robot Solutions for Safety,
Security and Service(tm)."
This SCOTUS decision is the most significant for companies that
are small and technology driven such as GeckoSystems by enabling
state courts to have jurisdiction in other states to lower
litigation costs for plaintiffs seeking damages for theft by
deception, naked shorting, propagating false rumors to depress the
company stock price and/or receive unjust enrichment to garner
significant monies. Many of these SMB companies have suffered for
years while they have seen their stock manipulated by de facto
naked shorting and false rumors, all done to drive the stock price
down for excessive and illegal profits to brokerages, such as BBH.
On July 10, 2015, GeckoSystems senior management and majority
stockholders filed a Georgia Racketeer Influence and Corrupt
Organizations (RICO) Act suit in the Rockdale County Superior Court
in Conyers, GA. http://tinyurl.com/qhl3uzu Stock manipulation
frequently fits the pattern of illicit racketeering.
"For some years, all of our shareholders and the tens of
thousands that hold stock in other stock manipulated (such as
spoofing or refusing to sell at Ask to preclude being forced to
cover naked short positions) companies have suffered significant
losses due to ongoing stock price manipulation by brokerages large
and small. These predatory brokerages (see below examples), intent
on making more money as they false rumor the price down to cover
their naked shorts to achieve unjust enrichment, have hidden behind
the now pierced veil of only being sued in Federal courts or by
futilely complaining to either/or the severely underfunded SEC
and/or FINRA. No doubt, it is readily apparent that this new States
Rights affirmation by SCOTUS will be welcomed by the thousands of
publicly traded companies preyed upon since they could not afford
to initiate and consummate litigation successfully in Federal
courts previously.
"Presently we are of information and belief that one of the
Defendants in our RICO suit, Neil T. Wallace, in concert with
George I. MacLeod, have exploited several market makers possible,
but not probable, ignorance of the far-reaching impact of this
recent SCOTUS decision. We have notified Brown Bros. Harrimans
Chief Compliance Officer, Josh Hutson, Senior Vice President,
several times of our present concerns. We have also contacted
senior management at Puma Capital, LLC (PUMA), G1 Execution
Services (ETRF) and KCG Holdings (NITE) the substance of our
position. Since Mr. MacLeod left the US unexpectedly, we are of
information and belief that Mr. Wallace has been, and is one of his
domestic fellow racketeers.
Note that PUMA has been sanctioned by FINRA in the past for
certain manipulative short selling, naked short selling or other
illegal short selling activities relating to the trading of a
company's common stock.
Please see PUMA's most recent broker check report from FINRA.
Its states interalia, that "PUMA Capital, LLC failed to properly
mark a sell as short on its ledger in 324 instances." A copy of
their broker check record can be found here (click on "Firm" and
type in "Puma"): http://brokercheck.finra.org/

As of September 7, 2016, FINRA confirmed:
... THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THE FIRM'S SUPERVISORY SYSTEM DID
NOT PROVIDE FOR SUPERVISION REASONABLY DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE
COMPLIANCE WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND
REGULATIONS, AND FINRA RULES...
Continuing, KCG Americas and Susquehanna International Group LLP
(dba E*trade) have been sued and fined for their illegal
activities. Below are a few examples in the links below:

"At this time, we are not 100% sure as to whether these
brokerages are knowingly working with these Defendants or not.
Nonetheless, they have been contacted (Eg., Mr. Joshua Greenstein,
President and Chief Compliance Officer of PUMA) several times
regarding the seriousness of our concerns and informed that we
believe, with substance, they are assisting MacLeod and Wallace to
GeckoSystems shareholders' financial detriment, summarized Martin

Naked short sellers squeezed by Supreme
Court
Published by AMI Newswire May 16, 2016
In a sweeping blow to Wall Street
investment giants, the U.S. Supreme Court today unanimously allowed
lawsuits against "naked" short sellers in state courts to
proceed.
The high court ruled unanimously
that shareholders are not confined to federal court when seeking
recourse for securities violations. Granting due deference to the
important role of state courts, the Court reinforced federalist
principles while clarifying congressional intentions to limit the
federal governments role.
The ruling, which could give a new
boost to startups and small companies targeted by short sellers,
showed a rare moment of ideological agreement in the court. Justice
Elena Kagan authored the Courts opinion, and Justice Clarence
Thomas, joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, issued a
concurrence.
In 2012, businessman Greg Manning
sued Merrill Lynch and other financial institutions in New Jersey
state court for purposefully devaluing his company through
systematic naked short-selling a term used to describe selling a
stock a seller does not own and has not borrowed. In standard short
sales, traders either borrow a stock or make sure that it can
be borrowed prior to selling it short in the hope that its value
will fall before the transaction must be covered.
The practice has come under increasing scrutiny and has been banned
in Germany and other major economies.

Continuing from the article Naked short sellers squeezed by
Supreme Court: (Underlines added below for emphasis.)
While legitimate short-selling
remains an accepted financial practice, manipulation by false
rumors and naked short-selling has taken a serious toll on emerging
industries. Biotechnology industry insiders have for years pleaded
with the SEC to block the illegal short selling and false whisper
campaigns that plague the industry. Smaller technology-driven
companies frequently lack the resources to deal with attacks that
drive down stock prices, crippling research and development
budgets.

Heres some excerpts from their most recent GA RICO filing:
FACTS
6.
Neil T. Wallace is an associate of Mr. George I. MacLeod
who, upon information and belief, has vigorously orchestrated naked
short selling of the Plaintiffs stock for many years. Mr. MacLeod
resides in the UK at an unknown location from the U.S. Securities
authorities. It is believed that he and Bette Wallaces son, Reed
Wallace, were involved in similar stock manipulation schemes
regarding Sushi Trend. Reed Wallace was sued by Sushi Trend for
illegal use of their restricted stock and they received a Default
Judgment against him. (U.S. District Court District of Nevada case
#07CV1129.)
7.
Neil Wallace, brother of Reed Wallace, has spread false
information about the Plaintiffs company on the internet, to the
courts, its attorneys and in numerous correspondences at times
using his parents and family to assist in these efforts directly
and indirectly. His public disparagement of the company has put
false rumors, and therefore doubts, in the minds of the Plaintiffs
business associates, potential customers, attorneys, and stock
investors.
The complete filing and all exhibits are here: http://tinyurl.com/gou7bcf
"This recent Supreme Court ruling has occurred at a very
propitious time for us. As one can read in the foregoing, our
company has been subjected to adverse stock price manipulation for
some years. We are of the belief that this Wallace group has
committed many predicate acts constituting RICO and cost our
shareholders several millions of dollars in ROI due, in part, to
the literally thousands of false rumors they have posted on several
stock message boards to drive the share price down. In the last few
years we believe they have successfully caused a panic on our
stock, pushing us below a penny a share.
"Since our stock price moved up recently, from $.008 to $.021
and then manipulated (spoofed, etc.) back down to $.008 or less,
those holding the massive GOSY short position (or selling stock
purloined from GOSY shareholders) are particularly motivated to
continue their naked shorting practice, trading in stolen stock
shares, or face covering costs that could cause them to fail to
cover and flirt with financial insolvency, if not outright
bankruptcy. Given that they have now spoofed the high of over $.02
down 30% to $.014, we seem to have no choice but add these market
makers, such as BBH to our RICO lawsuit forthwith. Our 1300+
shareholders can continue to be confident that we are working
diligently to protect their investment from the illegal trading
activities discussed here, concluded Spencer.
About GeckoSystems:
GeckoSystems has been developing innovative robotic technologies
for nineteen years. It is CEO Martin Spencer's dream to make
people's lives better through AI robotic technologies.
The safety requirement for human quick WCET reflex time in all
forms of mobile robots:
In order to understand the importance
of GeckoSystems' breakthrough, proprietary, and exclusive AI
software and why another Japanese robotics company desires a
business relationship with GeckoSystems, its key to acknowledge
some basic realities for all forms of automatic, non-human
intervention, vehicular locomotion and steering.
1. Laws of Physics such as Conservation
of Energy, inertia, and momentum, limit a vehicles ability to stop
or maneuver. If, for instance, a cars braking system design cannot
generate enough friction for a given road surface to stop the car
in 100 feet after brake application, thats a real limitation. If a
car cannot corner at more than .9g due to a combination of
suspension design and road conditions, that, also, is reality.
Regardless how talented a NASCAR driver may be, if his race car is
inadequate, hes not going to win races.
2. At the same time, if a car driver
(or pilot) is tired, drugged, distracted, etc. their reflex time
becomes too slow to react in a timely fashion to unexpected
direction changes of moving obstacles, or the sudden appearance of
fixed obstacles. Many car "accidents" result from drunk driving due
to reflex time and/or judgment impairment. Average reflex time
takes between 150 & 300ms. http://tinyurl.com/nsrx75n
3. In robotic systems, "human reflex
time" is known as Worst Case Execution Time (WCET). Historically,
in computer systems engineering, WCET of a computational task is
the maximum length of time the task could take to execute on a
specific hardware platform. In big data, this is the time to load
up the data to be processed, processed, and then outputted into
useful distillations, summaries, or common sense insights.
GeckoSystems' basic AI self-guidance navigation system processes
147 megabytes of data per second using low cost, Commercial Off The
Shelf (COTS) Single Board Computers (SBC's).
4. Highly trained and skilled jet
fighter pilots have a reflex time (WCET) of less than 120ms. Their
"eye to hand" coordination time is a fundamental criterion for them
to be successful jet fighter pilots. The same holds true for all
high performance forms of transportation that are sufficiently
pushing the limits of the Laws of Physics to require the quickest
possible reaction time for safe human control and/or usage.
5. GeckoSystems' WCET is less than
100ms, or as quick, or quicker than most gifted jet fighter pilots,
NASCAR race car drivers, etc. while using low cost COTS and
SBC's
6. In mobile robotic guidance systems,
WCET has 3 fundamental components.
a. Sufficient Field of View (FOV) with
appropriate granularity, accuracy, and update rate.
b. Rapid processing of that contextual
data such that common sense responses are generated.
c. Timely physical execution of those
common sense responses.

An overview of GeckoSystems' progress containing over 700
pictures and 120 videos can be found at http://www.geckosystems.com/timeline/.
These videos illustrate the development of the technology that
makes GeckoSystems a world leader in Service Robotics development.
Early CareBot prototypes were slower and frequently pivoted in
order to avoid a static or dynamic obstacle; later prototypes
avoided obstacles without pivoting. Current CareBots avoid
obstacles with a graceful bicycle smooth motion. The latest videos
also depict the CareBot's ability to automatically go faster or
slower depending on the amount of clutter (number of obstacles)
within its field of view. This is especially important when
avoiding moving obstacles in loose crowd situations like a mall or
an exhibit area.
In addition to the timeline videos, GeckoSystems has numerous
YouTube videos. The most popular of which are the ones showing
room-to-room automatic self-navigation of the CareBot through
narrow doorways and a hallway of an old 1954 home. You will see the
CareBot slow down when going through the doorways because of their
narrow width and then speed up as it goes across the relatively
open kitchen area. There are also videos of the SafePath(tm)
wheelchair, which is a migration of the CareBot AI centric
navigation system to a standard power wheelchair, and recently
developed cost effective depth cameras were used in this recent
configuration. SafePath(tm) navigation is now available to OEM
licensees and these videos show the versatility of GeckoSystems'
fully autonomous navigation solution.

The company has successfully completed an Alpha trial of its
CareBot personal assistance robot for the elderly. It was tested in
a home care setting and received enthusiastic support from both
caregivers and care receivers. The company believes that the
CareBot will increase the safety and well being of its elderly
charges while decreasing stress on the caregiver and the
family.
GeckoSystems is preparing for Beta testing of the CareBot prior
to full-scale production and marketing. CareBot has recently
incorporated Microsoft Kinect depth cameras that result in a
significant cost reduction.

Above, the CareBot demonstrates static and dynamic obstacle
avoidance as it backs in and out of a narrow and cluttered alley.
There is no joystick control or programmed path; movements are
smoother that those achieved using a joystick control. GeckoNav
creates three low levels of obstacle avoidance: reactive,
proactive, and contemplative. Subsumptive AI behavior within
GeckoNav enables the CareBot to reach its target destination after
engaging in obstacle avoidance.
