==========================================START OF PAGE 1====== UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Litigation Release No. 15089 / September 27, 1996 SEC v. TransAmerica Wireless Systems, Inc., Intercontinental Telecommunications Corp., and Danny Sterk, (S.D. Fl., Civil Action No. 94-6805-CIV-GONZALEZ) The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on August 6, 1996, the Honorable Jose A. Gonzalez, U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, entered an Order To Show Cause why Danny Sterk ("Sterk") should not be held in civil contempt for violating the Court's previous orders of November 28, 1995, requiring Sterk to file a sworn accounting, and of May 17, 1996 requiring Sterk to pay disgorgement in the amount of $1,007,783.87. The Court has scheduled a hearing on October 17, 1996, for Sterk to show cause why the Court should not issue an order holding him in civil contempt for violating the Court's orders. In its complaint filed on August 23, 1994, the Commission alleged that Sterk, as chief executive officer of TransAmerica Wireless Systems, Inc. ("TransAmerica") and a principal of Intercontinental Telecommunications Corp. ("ITC"), obtained funds from investors by misrepresenting or failing to disclose material facts in connection with the sale of general partnership interests in ventures formed to create "wireless cable" television systems. Among other misrepresentations, TransAmerica and ITC falsely claimed to be negotiating for FCC licenses and made unrealistic predictions to investors of the exorbitant profits to be made from the ventures. On November 28, 1995, the Court entered an order of permanent injunction and other relief which directed Sterk to prepare and file a sworn accounting of funds received in connection with the scheme within 30 days. Sterk has never filed an accounting. On May 17, 1996, Sterk was directed by the Court to disgorge $1,007,783.87 within 45 days of the Court's order. Sterk has made no payment on the disgorgement.
