-------------------- BEGINNING OF PAGE #1 ------------------- UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Litigation Release No. 14749 / December 7, 1995 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. TRANSAMERICA WIRELESS SYSTEMS, INC., INTERCONTINENTIAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION, AND DANNY STERK, Civil No. 94-6805-CIV-GONZALEZ (USDC SD FL) The Commission announced that on November 28, 1995, the Honorable Jose A. Gonzalez, Jr., United States District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, entered an order of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief against defendant Danny Sterk ("Sterk") of Coral Springs, Florida. Sterk consented to the entry of the permanent injunction without admitting or denying the allegations contained in the Commission's Complaint. The Commission's complaint, filed on August 23, 1994, alleged fraud in the offer and sale of securities in the form of interests in three general partnerships, purportedly formed for the purpose of owning and operating wireless cable television systems in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Clarksville, Tennessee and Valdosta, Georgia. Sterk was the CEO of TransAmerica Wireless Systems, Inc. ("TransAmerica"), which promoted the Hot Springs and Clarksville partnerships, and a principal of Intercontinental Telecommunications Corporation ("ITC"), which promoted the Valdosta partnership. Together these companies raised approximately $12.8 million from over 1000 investors. Both companies utilized television infomercials, mailings and telephone boiler rooms to sell the interests in the general partnerships to investors in various states. The Commission alleged that TransAmerica and ITC claimed falsely to be negotiating for various FCC licenses. In addition, both companies failed to disclose Sterk's involvement with the promoters and the fact that Sterk had previously been enjoined for his role in an application preparation and filing service for obtaining wireless cable television licenses. The Court's order permanently enjoins Sterk from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 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 order further requires Sterk to disgorge ill-gotten gains and to pay civil penalties in amounts to be determined upon motion by the Commission.
