For SEC v. Alan Benlolo, et al.,
U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York,
Civil Action Number 99-Civ-0341 (LS) (S.D.N.Y.)

The Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that four Canadian nationals – Alan Benlolo ("Benlolo"), Lenny Nacher ("Nacher"), and Stephen Dale ("Dale") working in concert, and Michael Risman ("Risman") working independently – operated a variety of "recovery room" frauds. The defendants are alleged to have targeted individuals worldwide who had previously been sold one or more U.S. microcap securities in offshore cold-calling telemarketing schemes. The Complaint alleges that the defendants carried out elaborate frauds to create the false appearance that they were established United States stock brokers, offered to repurchase those microcap securities at a substantial premium, successfully induced at least 55 individuals to post cash deposits of at least $1,536,514 to insure the proposed transaction, and absconded with those funds.
