U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission
Litigation Release No. 15231 / January 30, 1997
SEC v. Jerome E. Pinckney, Richard L. Arnold, Donald E. Elder,
Fernando Cruz, Shaun K.R.
Maxwell, Anthony Bukovich, Jr., and Six
Capital
Corporation
(E.D.N.C.,
Civil Action No. 7:95-CV-122-BR-1)
The
Securities and Exchange Commission announced today
that on December 30, 1996, the Honorable W. Earl Britt, United States
District Judge for the Eastern
District of North Carolina,
entered
an order of permanent injunction against defendant, Richard L. Arnold ("Arnold"), from violating Section
17(a) of the
Securities
Act.
Arnold
consented to the relief without admitting or denying
the allegations set forth in a complaint filed by the Commission
on August 23, 1995.
The complaint alleged that Arnold violated the antifraud statute by offering for sale investment contracts
which were part of a prime
bank scheme.
Arnold attempted to
obtain funds from investors by misrepresenting or failing
to disclose
material facts in connection with the sale of
prime bank
notes. Among
other misrepresentations, Arnold falsely
represented that the investments were risk-free and that
contractual guarantees of payment were being given by
a major
United States bank.
