SEC NEWS DIGEST Issue 2004-58 March 25, 2004 ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS IN THE MATTER OF STYLING TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION On March 25, the Commission issued an Order Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) against Styling Technology Corporation (Styling), a company formerly headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. In the Order, the Commission found that Styling failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 promulgated thereunder by failing to file annual reports with the Commission for fiscal years 2000 through 2003 and quarterly reports since the second quarter of 1999. Without admitting or denying the findings, Styling consented to the issuance of the Order, which revokes the registration of its securities. For additional information see LR-18485 (Dec. 3, 2003) and 34-49102 (Jan. 20, 2004). (Rel. 34-49474; File No. 3-11378) SEC OBTAINS FINAL JUDGMENT AGAINST LEE LARSCHEID AND OZARK TICKET AND TRAVEL, INC. IN $28 MILLION PONZI SCHEME CASE The Commission announced that on March 23 the Honorable Larry J. McKinney, Chief Judge, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, entered a final judgment against Lee E. Larscheid (Larscheid) and Ozark Ticket and Travel, Inc. (Ozark Ticket), which: (1) orders Larscheid and Ozark Ticket to pay, jointly and severally, disgorgement in the amount of $1,792,369.50 and prejudgment interest in the amount of $22,550; (2) orders Larscheid and Ozark Ticket to each pay civil penalties in the amount of $120,000; and, (3) permanently enjoins Larscheid and Ozark Ticket from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Both Larscheid and Ozark Ticket consented to the entry of the final judgment without admitting or denying the allegations contained in the Commission's Nov. 10, 2003 complaint. In its complaint, the Commission alleged that Larscheid, Ozark Ticket, and ten individuals and entities (the Defendants) offered and sold securities, which were nominally structured as hotel timeshare rental interests, in unregistered transactions as part of a Ponzi scheme that defrauded at least 600 investors of over $28 million in 30 states. On Nov. 10, 2003, Chief Judge McKinney issued a temporary restraining order, which froze the Defendants' assets and temporarily restrained the Defendants from violating the antifraud and registration provisions of the federal securities laws. On Nov. 20, 2003, the Honorable John D. Tinder, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, issued preliminary injunctions against each of the Defendants, which continued the asset freeze ordered by Chief Judge McKinney and preliminary enjoined the Defendants from violating the antifraud and registration provisions of the federal securities laws for the pendency of this action. This case is still pending against the remaining Defendants. [SEC v. Patrick Ballinger, Dennis R. Weaver, Kosta S. Kovachev, Lee E. Larscheid, Benny G. Morris, Darin W. Roberts, Linda M.

(CKP or the Company), its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President and Founder Cedric Kushner (Kushner), its Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, James DiLorenzo (DiLorenzo), and its former Executive Vice President and Secretary and a current director, Steven Angel (Angel) for violating the antifraud, record-keeping, and reporting provisions of the federal securities laws. As part of this action, the Commission alleges that Kushner and DiLorenzo violated the certification requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). According to the Commission's complaint, on the evening of May 20, 2003, CKP filed a Form 10-KSB for the year ended Dec. 31, 2002, that contained what purported to be unqualified independent auditor reports authorized and issued by its former auditor, BDO Seidman, LLP (BDO), and current auditor, Marcum & Kliegman LLP (Marcum). However, the complaint charges, neither BDO nor Marcum had actually provided those reports to CKP, and CKP instead filed forged auditor reports. Moreover, CKP filed its Form 10-KSB without obtaining either independent auditor's consent. The complaint alleges that the financial statements included in the May 20, 2003, filing contained material misstatements and substantial errors, including a misstatement of total assets in 2002 by over 100%. According to the complaint, despite their failure to obtain a signed audit report and material errors in the Company's financial statements, Kushner and DiLorenzo each personally certified that the filing fairly and accurately presented CKP's financial condition, in violation of Commission rules adopted pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which require an issuer's principal executive and financial officer to certify financial and other information contained in the quarterly and annual reports. Prior to certifying, the complaint alleges, Kushner failed to read either the Sarbanes-Oxley certification or the filing to which it was attached, or to take any steps to ascertain whether the filing was true and accurate. On May 21, 2003, both BDO and Marcum wrote letters protesting the forged auditor reports to CKP pursuant to Exchange Act Section 10A. On May 23, 2003, the Company filed a Form 8-K containing the auditors' letters and simultaneously filed a Form 10-KSB/A removing the auditor reports, but including new materially inaccurate financial statements. The complaint charges that DiLorenzo and Angel substantially participated in the creation of both the May 20, 2003, and May 23, 2003, filings. The complaint seeks an injunction against CKP based on its violation of Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act, and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5, 12b-20 and 13a-1. The complaint also seeks an injunction, officer and director bars, and civil monetary penalties against Kushner and DiLorenzo based on their primary violations of Exchange Act Section 10(b) and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5 and 13a-14, and their aiding and abetting CKP's violations of Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B), and Exchange Act Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1. The complaint further charges that Kushner is liable for CKP's violations as a "control person" under Exchange Act Section 20(a). Lastly, the complaint seeks an injunction, an officer and director bar, and a civil penalty against Angel based on his primary violations of Exchange Act Section 10(b) and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5 or, in the alternative, based on his aiding and abetting violations of Exchange Act Section 10(b) and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5 by CKP, Kushner and DiLorenzo, and his aiding and abetting violations of Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), 13(b)(2)(B), and Exchange Act Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1 by CKP. [SEC v. Cedric Kushner Promotions, Inc., Cedric Kushner, James DiLorenzo and Steven Angel, Civil Action No. 04 CV 2324 (TPG) (AJP) SDNY] (LR-18638; AAE Rel. 1979) BROOKLYN BROKER BARRED FROM INDUSTRY, TO DISGORGE $362,000, PAY $100,000 CIVIL PENALTY On March 23, the Honorable Judge Rosemary M. Collyer of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia entered final judgments against David Rubin, formerly known as David Rubinov, and his consulting company Stronghold Associates, Inc., arising from charges that they participated in the fraudulent, unregistered offering of the preferred shares of Discover Capital Holdings Corp. Without admitting or denying the allegations of the Commission's complaint, Rubin and Stronghold consented to the entry of final judgments permanently enjoining them from violating the antifraud and registration provisions of the federal securities laws, ordering Rubin to disgorge $362,510 in ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest, and ordering Rubin to pay a $100,000 civil penalty. The judgment orders that Rubin surrender all of his assets currently frozen by a prior court order and pay the remaining balance within one year of the date of the final judgment. In related proceedings, the Commission issued an administrative order on March 25, to which Rubin consented, barring Rubin from associating with any broker or dealer in the future. Specifically, Rubin and Stronghold consented to the entry of final judgments permanently enjoining them from violating Sections 5 and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Commission's complaint, filed on July 9, 2003, alleges that the defendants, Eli Dinov, his brother Ari Dinov, and David Rubin used spam e-mail touts and misleading, high pressure sales calls to raise $1.1 million dollars through the sale of private placement shares of Uniondale, New York-based Discover Capital, a company controlled by the individual defendants, through Discover's wholly owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Indianapolis Securities. The SEC continues to seek additional relief against Eli and Ari Dinov, Discover Capital, and Indianapolis Securities, including permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, and civil money penalties.
