What this profile says up front
The securities enforcement layer that intersects the contract record
Brett David Rosen is a co-managing partner of RB Capital Partners, Inc. and sole director of Seapoint Capital Partners, Inc. and Rosen Capital LLC. He is also known as Brett Hackspacher. The federal grand jury indictment, filed January 16, 2026 and unsealed January 21, 2026, charges Rosen, Deborah Rachel Rosen, and RB Capital Partners with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, and money laundering under 18 U.S.C. § 1956(h) and § 1957.
Cyberlux Corporation is named as an issuer in the charged conduct. That designation — issuer, not defendant — means the government's theory places Cyberlux's stock and its public disclosures within the mechanism of the alleged scheme without asserting Cyberlux itself committed the charged crimes. The distinction matters for understanding how the securities layer intersects the contract record.
The SEC filed a parallel civil complaint on the same date as the indictment. David M. Massey is named in the SEC action. All charges and allegations in the indictment and complaint are unproven; Rosen is presumed innocent. The findings below are drawn from publicly filed court documents only.

What the record establishes
The federal indictment: charges and defendants
The August 2024 grand jury indictment, Case No. 3:26-cr-00192-DMS (S.D. Cal.), charges Brett David Rosen, Deborah Rachel Rosen, and RB Capital Partners, Inc. with: conspiracy to commit securities fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 371 and 15 U.S.C. §§ 78j(b), 78ff; conspiracy to launder monetary instruments under 18 U.S.C. § 1956(h); and money laundering under 18 U.S.C. § 1957. Criminal forfeiture under 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c) is also charged. All charges are allegations. Rosen is presumed innocent.
Cyberlux named as an issuer in the charged conduct
The indictment names Cyberlux Corporation (OTC: CYBL) as an issuer in the charged securities fraud conduct. Cyberlux is not named as a criminal defendant. The government's theory, as stated in the charging documents, places Cyberlux's stock within the promotional and financing scheme alleged to have operated across multiple microcap issuers. The specific nature and scope of Cyberlux's role as a named issuer is detailed in the indictment and the parallel SEC complaint.
The SEC civil complaint and David Massey
The SEC filed a parallel civil complaint on January 21, 2026 against the same defendants. David M. Massey is named in the SEC action and related securities network materials. The SEC complaint covers the civil enforcement dimensions of the alleged scheme, including disgorgement and penalties. The complaint, like the indictment, contains allegations not yet adjudicated.
RB Capital's convertible note relationship with Cyberlux
RB Capital Partners, Inc. had a financing relationship with Cyberlux Corporation involving convertible notes — instruments that allow a lender to convert debt into equity shares at a defined price or discount. This mechanism, described in prior coverage and court records, placed RB Capital in a position where the price and volume of CYBL stock directly affected the value of its Cyberlux position. The full scope and timing of that relationship is documented in court filings from the RB Capital v. Cyberlux proceeding in S.D. Cal.
Operation Alpha and the contract announcement timing
Operation Alpha was Cyberlux's publicly framed expansion strategy and the promotional vehicle through which CYBL was promoted across OTC investor platforms including Twitter, InvestorHub, and StockTwits during the contract period. The August 2023 contract announcement was, according to the record and prior coverage, the promotional catalyst for a period of significant retail investor activity in CYBL. The most prominent promoter, according to the record, did not disclose a paid promotional relationship. Whether Operation Alpha's activities were properly disclosed as paid promotion is a question the record raises but has not fully answered.
