UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA SOUTHERN DIVISION

COMPLAINT

Plaintiff, United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), alleges and states as follows:

NATURE OF THE COMPLAINT

1. From at least 2001 through the present, Timothy R. Heyman ("Heyman"), has raised at least $10 million from approximately 150 investors by offering and selling securities issued by Heyman International, Inc. ("Heyman International"). Heyman represents to investors, most of whom live in and around Birmingham, Alabama, that he will pay them a minimum of 10% per month on their investment generated by depositing their funds in "high yield depository accounts." These representations are false and misleading. In reality, the Heyman International offering is a fraud, because Heyman is operating a Ponzi scheme. Heyman uses new investors' funds to pay previous investors the 10% monthly "interest" payments that he promised to make. He also uses a significant amount of investor funds to pay for his personal expenses, such as luxury cars and expensive trips abroad. Of the $10 million Heyman received from investors, he has used at least $1.3 million for personal expenses.

2. Accordingly, the Commission seeks against the defendants (a) a temporary restraining order, an order of preliminary injunction and an order of permanent injunction enjoining defendants from current and future violations of certain federal securities laws, (b) an asset freeze to avoid dissipation of assets pending the resolution of this action, (c) an accounting, (d) expedited discovery, (e) repatriation of assets, (f) an order prohibiting the destruction, mutilation, concealment, alteration or disposition of books and records, (g) disgorgement of all ill-gotten gains and (h) civil penalties, and for such other ancillary and equitable relief as is sought herein and may be appropriate.

DEFENDANTS

3. Timothy R. Heyman, is 33 years old and last resided in Findlay, Ohio. Heyman offers and sells investments issued by Heyman International. Heyman controls all of the Heyman International bank accounts into which he deposits and withdraws investor funds he raises from the Heyman International offering. Heyman is President, Treasurer and Secretary of Heyman International.

4. Heyman International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated in 2000. Heyman International is controlled by Heyman who is the corporation's President, Secretary and Treasurer. Heyman International purports to be in the "business of financing, and asset growth management." Heyman International has no business purpose other than offering investments in the form of "Depository Agreements." No registration statement has been filed or is in effect with the Commission in connection with the securities offered and sold by Heyman and Heyman International.

This Court has jurisdiction over this action pursuant to Section 22(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. § 77v(a)] and Sections 21(e) and 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 [15 U.S.C. §78aa] and 28 U.S.C. §1331.

FACTS

The Heyman International Offering

8. From at least 2001 through the present, Heyman has raised at least $10 million from at least 150 investors.

9. Heyman raised these funds from investors by offering and selling securities in the form of a written "Depository Agreement" issued by Heyman International. 10. The majority of Heyman International investors live in and around Birmingham, Alabama.

11. Heyman International has also offered and sold Depository Agreements to residents of Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey and Tennessee.

12. Often, the investors are elderly and have limited experience with securities and investments. Investors have withdrawn retirement savings, sold land and used business assets in order to fund their investment with Heyman International.

13. Heyman, on behalf of Heyman International, and each investor execute a Depository Agreement that describes Heyman's representations to investors. Investors receive no other written information regarding their Heyman International investment.

14. Heyman represents to investors through the Depository Agreement that he has access to "certain proprietary high yield depository accounts, and trading programs in the United States and elsewhere." Heyman further represents to investors that their funds will be deposited in these accounts to "increase the overall yield of the accounts" and that, as a result, investors will earn a minimum of 10% per month on their principal investment. He also represents that investor funds are fully refundable.

15. After receiving investor funds, Heyman pools the funds in non-interest bearing bank accounts under the name of Heyman International (hereinafter referred to as "Heyman International Bank Accounts"). Heyman alone controls these accounts.

16. In reality, Heyman is operating a Ponzi scheme by using new investors' funds to make "interest" payments to previous investors. He pays "interest" out of the investor funds that he pooled in the non-interest bearing Heyman International Bank Accounts. Out of the $10 million Heyman International raised from investors, he used nearly $7 million to pay investors their "interest."

17. Heyman also uses investor funds from the Heyman International Bank Accounts to pay for his personal expenses, such as luxury cars and expensive trips abroad. Of the $10 million Heyman received from investors, he has used at least $1.3 million for personal expenses.

18. Contrary to the representations that he made in the Depository Agreements, Heyman may have invested, at most, a de minimus amount of investor funds. Any investments that Heyman may have made did not earn the interest that Heyman tells investors they will receive.

19. Heyman does not disclose to investors that instead of investing their funds, he uses their funds to pay other investors and Heyman's personal expenses.

20. Contrary to the representations that Heyman made in the Depository Agreement, Heyman International cannot fully repay the investors' principal. Heyman International's Bank Accounts do not have funds sufficient to repay the amount investors have given to him. Heyman International's Bank Accounts contain approximately $1 million remaining of the $10 million invested with Heyman International since 2001.

21. The fact that Heyman uses investor funds to pay previous investors and his personal expenses and that Heyman International's accounts do not have sufficient funds to fully refund investors is information that would be highly important to investors because they would not have invested with Heyman International if they were informed of these facts.

22. Heyman continues to raise funds from investors based on the misrepresentations in the Depository Agreement. He also continues to pay investors their monthly "interest" payments.

23. No registration statement has been filed or is in effect with the Commission in connection with the securities offered or sold by Heyman and Heyman International.
