==========================================START OF PAGE 1====== U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Litigation Release No. 14881 / April 16, 1996 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. KAROLA E. JAMISON, Civil Action No. 93-00639 HG (D. Hawaii) The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") announced that on June 8, 1995, a Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction And Other Relief was entered against defendant Karola E. Jamison ("Jamison"). The Final Judgment enjoined Jamison from violating the antifraud provisions of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Final Judgment further ordered Jamison to pay disgorgement in the amount of $468,880, plus prejudgment interest thereon, but waived payment of these amounts based upon her demonstrated inability to pay them. Jamison consented, without admitting or denying the allegations in the Complaint, to the entry of the Final Judgment. The Commission's Complaint alleges that from March 1988 through November 1989, Jamison raised over $1 million from more than 40 investors through the offer and sale of promissory notes. Investor funds were purportedly to be invested in an international loan program called the Collateralized Funding Program. Jamison, capitalizing on her husband's high rank in the military, attracted investors who were primarily military personnel and promised them returns of as high as 240% per year. Investor funds were not only misused by Jamison to pay other investors pursuant to a Ponzi scheme, they were also misused for her unrelated business ventures and personal expenses.
