Peter Coker Sr., 82, and Peter Coker Jr., 56, have pleaded guilty to fraud charges in connection with a stock manipulation scheme involving a small New Jersey deli. The scheme inflated the deli's market capitalization to over $100 million, despite the business being money-losing. The Cokers were the last defendants in the case, which saw the ringleader confess a year prior. The scheme involved manipulating the stock prices of the deli and its publicly traded parent company, E-Waste, with reported inflation rates of 939% and 19,900%, respectively.
