UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

          LITIGATION RELEASE NO.      15984 / November 20, 1998

          Securities   and   Exchange  Commission  v.  Zappa  International
          Corporation, Scott L. Simpson, Scott B. Walker, Equity Management
          Services,  Eagle  Vision   Holdings  Inc.,  Wayne  Nattrass,  and
          Westminster Trading Trust, Civil  Action  No.  98-CV-213-B  (USDC
          Wyo.)

               The   Commission   announced   today   that  it  obtained  a
          preliminary injunction against defendants Eagle  Vision  Holdings
          Inc.,  Wayne L. Nattrass, both located in the Seattle, Washington
          area, and  Westminster Trading Trust, located in Richmond, Texas,
          prohibiting  the  fraudulent  sale  of  interests  in  prime bank
          instrument  trading  programs  which  falsely  offered guaranteed
          returns exceeding 200 percent per month, claimed  to be sponsored
          by the Federal Reserve Bank and the International Monetary  Fund,
          and were represented to be guaranteed against risk of loss by the
          top   twenty-five  world  banks.    The  preliminary  injunction,
          entered  November  18  1998  by  Judge  Clarence A. Brimmer (D.C.
          Wyoming), included an order freezing the assets of the defendants
          and requiring the repatriation of assets.

               The Court had previously issued a preliminary injunction and
          asset  freeze  against  defendants  Scott B.  Walker  and  Equity
          Management Services, both of Afton, Wyoming, and Scott L. Simpson
          and Zappa International Corporation,  located in Richmond, Texas.
          The amended complaint alleges that from  September  1996  to  the
          present,  the defendants raised approximately $15 million from at
          least 100 investors  through  a  fraudulent  prime bank scheme in
          which they guaranteed high rate of return and falsely represented
          that the investors' principal was fully secured by a top European
          Bank  and  that  the  programs  were implemented through  traders
          licensed by either the International Monetary Fund or the Federal
          Reserve  Bank.   The  Commission  alleges  that  the  prime  bank
          instruments  offered  by  the  defendants   do  not  exist.   The
          Commission alleged that the defendants failed to disclose the use
          of investor funds to pay solicitation fees to others who referred
          the  investor and to make "Ponzi" payments to  earlier  investors
          who sought  the  return  of  their  investment.   The  Commission
          alleged  that through their false and misleading statements,  the
          defendants violated the anti-fraud provisions of Section 17(a) of
          the Securities  Act  of  1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities
          and Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
