SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Litigation Release No. 15839 / August 11., 1998 S.E.C. v. Autocorp Equities, Inc. fka Chariot Entertainment, Inc. et al., Docket No. 2:98CV 05625 (U.S.D.C., D.Ut.) The Securities and Exchange Commission announced the filing of a Complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, on August 10, 1998, seeking a permanent injunction and other relief against Autocorp Equities, Inc. fka Chariot Entertainment, Inc., Michael Carnicle, Robert Cord Beatty, Amotz Frenkel, Hillel Sher and Nili Frenkel. The Commission alleges that in 1994 Diamond Entertainment, Inc., a privately-held company whose sole asset was the right to stage live performances of the American Gladiators at a single location adjacent to the Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas, merged with Eagle Automotive, Inc., a company listed on NASDAQ which had just divested itself of all its assets. It is further alleged that in order to maintain this NASDAQ listing after the anticipated merger with Eagle and a change of the company's name to Chariot, Carnicle, Beatty, Amotz Frenkel and Sher engaged in a scheme to inflate the assets of Diamond by acquiring $5 million in certificates of deposit ostensibly issued by a Russian bank but actually created by Sher at a Kinko's copy shop in Hollywood, Florida. The Complaint alleges that to finance the acquisition of these certificates of deposit, Carnicle, Beatty, Amotz Frenkel and Sher arranged to have Chariot issue stock, ostensibly in reliance on Regulation S, to a California corporation controlled by Amotz Frenkel; those shares were then to be sold after forty days with $1.5 million of the proceeds used to pay for the certificates of deposit. It is alleged that actual sales of the stock were made through Nili Frenkel. It is also alleged that Chariot, Carnicle and Beatty misrepresented the status of the company's arrangement to lease a location from the Imperial Palace on which the American Gladiators performances would be staged. The Complaint alleges that almost from the time Chariot entered into a lease with the hotel, it began to violate the terms of the lease by failing to secure a performance bond and by failing to meet other lease requirements. The Complaint alleges the defendants violated Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b), 13(a) and 13(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-13, 13b2-1 and 13b2-2 thereunder.
