MILLENNIUM SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS, INC. and MARK SHKOLIR, 97 Civ. 9019 (DC) (S.D.N.Y) The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") announced today that on December 18, 1997, the Honorable Denny Chin of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued orders preliminarily enjoining defendants Millennium Software Solutions, Inc. (Millennium), and its president, Mark Shkolir (Shkolir), from further violations 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, freezing Millennium's and Shkolir's assets, requiring Millennium and Shkolir to provide an accounting, and prohibiting the destruction of documents. Shkolir consented to the issuance of the order against him. With the Commission's consent, the Court also stayed the Commission's action with respect to Shkolir pending resolution of a parallel criminal investigation being conducted by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. In its Complaint, filed on December 8, 1997, the Commission alleged that since at least November 1997, Millennium and Shkolir had raised at least $200,000 by offering and selling Millennium common stock and warrants to investors while misrepresenting Millennium's financial condition and falsely stating that Charles Schwab & Co., a registered broker-dealer, was affiliated with the Millennium offering.
