COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS

SEC SUSPENDS TRADING IN COMMON STOCK OF CHINA EXPERT TECHNOLOGY, INC.

On October 1, the Commission ordered the temporary suspension of
trading in the securities of China Expert Technology, Inc. commencing
at 9:30 a.m. EDT on Oct. 1, 2007, and terminating at 11:59 p.m. EDT on
Oct. 12, 2007.

The Commission ordered the trading suspension because of questions
that have arisen regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly-
disseminated information concerning among other things, China
Expert's: (1) financial performance and business prospects and (2)
current financial condition.

The Commission cautions brokers, dealers, shareholders, and
prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the
foregoing information along with all other currently available
information and any information subsequently issued by the companies.

Further, brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that,
pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, at the termination of
the trading suspension, no quotation may be entered unless and until
they have strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule. If
any broker or dealer has any questions as to whether or not it has
complied with the rule, it should not enter any quotation but
immediately contact the staff in the Division of Market Regulation,
Office of Interpretation and Guidance, at (202) 551-5760. If any
broker-dealer is uncertain as to what is required by Rule 15c2-11, it
should refrain from entering quotations relating to the securities of
the company listed above until such time as it has familiarized itself
with the rule and is certain that all of its provisions have been met.
If any broker or dealer enters any quotation that is in violation of
the rule, the Commission will consider the need for prompt enforcement
action.

Persons with questions regarding this matter should contact Bruce
Karpati, Assistant Regional Director, in the New York Regional Office
of the Securities and Exchange Commission at (212) 336-0104. (Rel. 34-
56583)

SEC SUSPENDS TRADING IN SECURITIES OF CONNECTAJET.COM, INC.

The Commission announced the temporary suspension, pursuant to Section
12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of trading of the
securities of ConnectAJet.com, Inc. ("ConnectAJet" ticker symbol
CAJT), a company with offices in Bloomington, Minnesota and Austin,
Texas, at 9:30 a.m. EDT on Oct. 1, 2007, and terminating at 11:59 p.m.
EDT on Oct. 12, 2007.

The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of
ConnectAJet because it appears that the market for ConnectAJet
securities may be reacting to manipulative forces or deceptive
practices and that there is a lack of current and accurate information
about ConnectAJet upon which an informed investment decision can be
made. It also appears that there may be inaccurate assertions by
ConnectAJet in publicly-disseminated press releases and on
ConnectAJet's website about, among other things, the existence of the
company's partnerships and affiliations with aviation companies.

Further, brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that,
pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, at the termination of
the trading suspension, no quotation may be entered unless and until
they have strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule. If
any broker or dealer has any questions as to whether or not he has
complied with the rule, he should not enter any quotation but
immediately contact the staff in the Division of Market Regulation,
Office of Interpretation and Guidance, at (202) 551-5760. If any
broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by Rule 15c2-11,
he should refrain from entering quotations relating to ConnectAJet's
securities until such time as he has familiarized himself with the
rule and is certain that all of its provisions have been met. If any
broker or dealer enters any quotation which is in violation of the
rule, the Commission will consider the need for prompt enforcement
action.

If any broker dealer or other person has any information which may
relate to this matter, they should contact Paul A. Montoya, Assistant
Regional Director, Division of Enforcement at (312) 353-7429, or by
email at montoyap@sec.gov. (Rel. 34-56584)

ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

COMMISSION SETTLES ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST FORMER DYNEGY CHIEF
FINANCIAL OFFICER AND OTHER FORMER EXECUTIVES

On Sept. 28, 2007, the Commission settled enforcement proceedings
against three former executives of Dynegy Inc. in connection with
their roles in Dynegy's Project Alpha, a $300 million loan that
disguised the company's true financial condition by appearing on the
company's financial statements as a commercial operating activity.

Without admitting or denying the Commission's findings, former Dynegy
CFO Robert D. Doty, Jr. consented to a public administrative and
cease-and-desist order (i) directing him to cease and desist from
committing or causing future violations of the antifraud and internal
controls provisions of the federal securities laws, or aiding and
abetting or causing violations of the record-keeping and reporting
provisions; (ii) requiring him to pay disgorgement of $200,000 plus
prejudgment interest of $56,560; and (iii) suspending him from
appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant for
five years. (Rels. 33-8855; 34-56576; AAE Rel. 2736; File No.3-12857)
In addition, without admitting or denying the Commission's
allegations, Doty agreed to a federal district court judgment
requiring him to pay a civil penalty of $120,000 and prohibiting him
from serving as an officer or director of a public company for a
period of five years.

The Commission also announced settlement with two of the three former
Dynegy executives sued in connection with Project Alpha in June 2003.
Without admitting or denying the Commission's allegations, defendants
Gene S. Foster and Helen C. Sharkey consented to orders permanently
enjoining them from future violations of the antifraud and internal
controls provisions of the federal securities law. (SEC v. Gene S.
Foster, et al., Civil Action No. H-03-2044). Foster and Sharkey also
consented to administrative orders suspending them from appearing or
practicing before the Commission as accountants, without admitting or
denying any of the Commission's findings, except as to the entry of
permanent injunctions against them. (Rels. 34-56575 and 34-56577; AAE
Rel. 2735 and 2737; File Nos. 3-12856 and 3-12858).

The third defendant in the Commission's civil enforcement action,
Jamie Olis, recently asserted a counterclaim for attorney fees and
costs. The Court struck his counterclaim on Sept. 7, 2007. Immediately
thereafter, the Court granted the Commission's motion to dismiss its
claims against Olis, who is currently incarcerated after being
convicted in a parallel criminal proceeding of six felony counts
relating to his role in Project Alpha. The Commission also issued an
administrative order suspending Olis from appearing or practicing
before the Commission based on his criminal convictions. (Rel. 34-
56578; AAE Rel. 2738; File No. 3-12859)

COMMISSION INSTITUTES ADMINISTRATIVE AND CEASE-AND-DESIST PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST BROKER-DEALER AND ITS PART OWNER

On Sept. 28, 2007, the Commission instituted administrative and cease-
and-desist proceedings against MCL Financial Group, Inc. (MCL), a
registered broker-dealer based in Littleton, Colorado, and Gary L.
Flater (Flater), president and part owner of MCL.

The Order finds that MCL and Flater failed reasonably to supervise a
registered representative in connection with the registered
representative's antifraud violations. The registered representative
made materially false and misleading statements to investors. In
addition, MCL failed to preserve, and Flater did not ensure that MCL
preserved, copies of the majority of the electronic mail
communications related to the business in its Colorado offices.

The Commission simultaneously accepted MCL's and Flater's Offers of
Settlement wherein, without admitting or denying the Commission's
findings, they consented to the entry of an order that: (1) finds that
MCL and Flater failed reasonably to supervise a registered
representative at MCL, with a view to preventing the registered
representative's antifraud violations, (2) orders MCL to cease and
desist from committing or causing, and Flater to cease and desist from
causing, any violations and any future violations of Section 17(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 17a-
4(b)(4) thereunder; (3) censures MCL and Flater; (4) orders MCL and
Flater each to pay a civil penalty of $60,000; (5) bars Flater from
acting in a supervisory capacity with any broker or dealer with the
right to reapply for association after three years; and (6) orders MCL
to comply with certain undertakings. (Rel. 34-56579; File No. 3-12860)

COMMISSION INSTITUTES ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST REGISTERED
REPRESENTATIVE

On Sept. 28, 2007, the Commission issued an Order Instituting
Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions
(Order) against Michael B. Upton (Upton), a former registered
representative at MCL Financial Group, Inc. The Order finds that on
September 26, 2007, a final judgment was entered against Upton
permanently enjoining him from future 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 thereunder, in the civil action.

The Order also finds that the Commission's complaint in the civil
action alleges that, from August 2003 through March 2005, Upton made
materially false and misleading statements and omitted to disclose
material information to investors in connection with 27 securities
offerings. The complaint further alleges that Upton misrepresented to
investors the investment risks and also that certain shares would soon
be publicly traded despite his knowledge that his representations were
false. Additionally, the complaint alleges that Upton failed to
disclose to investors that he earned override commissions in addition
to sales commissions on the sale of the securities. Upton profited
from such misrepresentations by way of undisclosed commissions of
$287,496.

Based on the above, the Order permanently bars Upton from associating
with any broker or dealer. Upton consented to the issuance of the
Order without admitting or denying the findings of the Order, except
as to jurisdiction of the Commission and the entry of the injunction
against him. ( Rel. 34-56580; File No. 3-12861)

IN THE MATTER OF EUGENE PLOTKIN

On Sept. 28, 2007, the Commission issued an Order Instituting
Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions
(Order) against Eugene Plotkin (Plotkin). The Order finds that from
July 2000 to May 2006, Plotkin was an Associate in the Fixed Income
Research division at Goldman Sachs Group (Goldman Sachs), a broker-
dealer registered with the Commission. On Aug, 28, 2007, Plotkin pled
guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud in
violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371 and eight
counts of securities fraud (insider trading), in violation of Title
15, United States Code, Sections 78j(b) and 78ff, Title 17, Code of
Federal Regulations, Section 240.10b-5, and Title 18, United States
Code, Section 2 before the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, in United States v. Eugene Plotkin,
Indictment No. s4 06 Cr. 389 (RJH).

Based on the above, the Order bars Plotkin from association with any
broker or dealer. Plotkin consented to the issuance of the Order
without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order. (Rel.
34-56582; File No. 3-12862)

FINAL JUDGMENT ENTERED AGAINST MASSACHUSETTS HEDGE FUND MANAGER

The Commission announced today that, on Sept. 27, 2007, the federal
district court in Massachusetts entered a Final Judgment by consent
against Mark R. Conway, formerly of Waltham, Massachusetts, in a
securities fraud case filed in 2005. The Final Judgment permanently
enjoins Conway from violating Sections 17(a) of the Securities Act of
1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule
10b-5 thereunder and Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940. The Final Judgment does not impose disgorgement
or civil penalty obligations against Conway based upon his criminal
conviction and obligation to pay restitution in a parallel criminal
case. Conway consented, without admitting or denying the allegations,
to the entry of the Final Judgment.

On Nov. 4, 2005, the Commission filed an enforcement action and
obtained emergency relief (including an asset freeze) against Conway
and his firm, Groundswell Partners LLC. The Commission's Complaint
alleged that Conway defrauded his clients by not disclosing the
millions of dollars in losses incurred by Groundswell Capital LP, a
hedge fund managed by Conway and his firm, the actual amount of assets
in the fund and the trading strategy he was employing.

Previously, the Commission received default judgments against
Groundswell Partners and Groundswell Capital, which was named as a
relief defendant. On May 7, 2007, Conway was sentenced to seven years
in prison and was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $20
million based upon his guilty plea to criminal charges brought by the
United States Attorney's Office concerning conduct similar to that in
the Commission's Complaint.

The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's
Office for the District of Massachusetts and the Boston office of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.

For further information, please see Litigation Release Nos. 19460
(Nov. 9, 2005), 19473 (Nov. 22, 2005), 19773 (July 26, 2006), 19807
(Aug. 17, 2006), and 20145 (June 6, 2007). [SEC v. Mark R. Conway, et
al., 05-CV-12209-RWZ (D. Mass.)] (LR-20317)

SEC CHARGES MERIDIAN HOLDINGS, INC. AND TWO INDIVIDUALS WITH
FRAUDULENTLY USING A $30 MILLION DEFAULT JUDGMENT TO SHOW EARNINGS

On Sept. 28, 2007, the Commission filed charges in federal district
court against Culver City-based Meridian Holdings, Inc., and two
individuals for fraudulently using a $30 million default judgment to
boost earnings and for backdating Sarbanes-Oxley certifications.

According to the Commission's complaint, financial statements filed
with the company's 2004 second and third quarter reports caused
Meridian to materially misstate significant gains, when, in fact, it
should have reported losses. Meridian also backdated officer
certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the SEC charged.
Meridian owns interests in companies that engage in e-commerce in the
medical industry, and provides management services to those companies.
According to the Commission's complaint, during the second and third
quarters of its 2004 fiscal year, Meridian improperly recognized a $30
million default judgment and interest as assets and income when it had
no reasonable basis to believe the judgment was collectible. As a
result, Meridian turned quarterly losses of 7 cents per share into
earnings of $2.12 per share. Following the filing of the 2004 second
quarter report, Meridian's stock price doubled. Similarly, Meridian
recognized additional interest on the default judgment during the
third quarter of 2004. The complaint alleges that this improper
recognition again turned quarterly losses to quarterly gains.
Following the filing of its 2004 third quarter report, Meridian's
stock price increased by 40%.

In addition to Meridian, the complaint names Anthony C. Dike, age 52,
of Los Angeles, Calif., Meridian's chairman and chief executive
officer at the time, and Michelle V. Nguyen, age 48, of Orange,
Calif., Meridian's former principal financial officer. Dike and Nguyen
are alleged to have prepared misleading financial statements by
booking the $30 million default judgment when neither had any
reasonable basis to believe the judgment was collectible. The
complaint further alleges that when Dike filed Meridian's second and
third quarter reports, he included Nguyen's name on the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act certifications filed with the reports even though he knew Nguyen
had not signed them. While Nguyen signed the certifications included
with Meridian's second quarter report after it had been filed, she
never signed the certifications included with Meridian's third quarter
report. Meridian also provided the Commission staff with backdated
certifications filed with its 2004 annual report.

The Commission's complaint charges Meridian, Dike, and Nguyen with
committing violations of Sections 10(b), 13(a), and 13(b)(2)(A) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-13 and
13b2-1 thereunder. In addition, the complaint charges Dike with
violations of Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. The complaint also
charges Meridian and Dike with violations of Section 302(b) of
Regulation S-T. The complaint seeks permanent injunctions against
future violations of these provisions and civil penalties against all
defendants and, with respect to Dike and Nguyen, orders barring each
of them from serving as an officer or director of a public company.

SEC FILES SETTLED FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT CHARGES AGAINST YORK
INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION FOR IMPROPER PAYMENTS TO UAE OFFICIALS, TO
IRAQ UNDER THE U.N. OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAM, AND TO OTHERS - - COMPANY
AGREES TO PAY OVER $12 MILLION AND TO RETAIN AN INDEPENDENT COMPLIANCE
MONITOR

The Commission today filed anti-bribery, internal controls, and books
and records charges under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act against
York International Corporation ("York International") in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia. York International, a
global provider of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and
refrigeration products and services, was acquired by Johnson Controls,
Inc. in 2005. The Commission's complaint alleges that York
International's Delaware subsidiary paid approximately $522,500 to an
intermediary while knowing that most of the money was intended to
bribe United Arab Emirate officials; York International's Dubai
subsidiary authorized and made approximately $647,110 in kickback
payments under the U.N. Oil for Food Program; and that York
International's subsidiaries devised elaborate schemes to conceal
kickback payments of over $7.5 million made to secure orders on
certain commercial and government projects in the Middle East, India,
China, Nigeria and Europe.

According to the Commission's Complaint:

In 2003 and 2004, York International's Delaware subsidiary, York Air
Conditioning and Refrigeration, Inc. ("YACR") paid approximately
$522,500 to an intermediary while knowing that most of the money was
intended to bribe United Arab Emirate officials to secure contracts in
connection with the construction of a government-owned luxury hotel
called the Conference Palace. Altogether, thirteen illicit payments
were made on this project, totaling $550,000.

In addition, from 2000 to 2003, York International's Dubai subsidiary
authorized and made approximately $647,110 in kickback payments in
connection with its sale of humanitarian goods to Iraq under the Oil
for Food Program (Program). Although the payments were characterized
as "after-sales service fees," no bona fide services were actually
performed. The Program provided humanitarian relief to the Iraqi
population during the time that Iraq was subject to international
trade sanctions. The kickback payments paid in connection with York
International's subsidiary's sale of goods were paid by a third party
to Iraqi-controlled accounts in countries such as Jordan.

From 2001 through 2006, York International, through certain
subsidiaries, made over $7.5 million in illicit payments to secure
orders on certain commercial and government projects in the Middle
East, India, China, Nigeria and Europe. York International's
subsidiaries devised elaborate schemes to conceal kickback payments to
certain individuals who had enough influence to secure contracts for
York International's subsidiaries. These payments were referred to
internally as "consultancy payments," however, similar to the payments
made under the Oil for Food Program, no bona fide services were
performed. A total of 854 improper consultancy payments were made on
approximately 774 contracts -- 302 projects involved government end-
users, such as government owned companies, public hospitals, or
schools.

York International violated the anti-bribery provision by paying
bribes to UAE officials to secure business. York International failed
to devise and maintain an effective system of internal controls to
prevent or detect numerous violations, as shown by: 1) the extent and
duration of the illicit payment schemes, 2) the involvement of
multiple subsidiaries and numerous managers and employees, and 3) the
improper recording of these payments in the books and records. York
International failed to accurately record in its books and records the
kickbacks that were authorized for payment to Iraq, the bribes in the
UAE, and the illicit consultancy payments made in various countries.

York International, without admitting or denying the allegations in
the Commission's complaint, consented to the entry of a final judgment
permanently enjoining it from future violations of Sections 30A,
13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
ordering it to disgorge $8,949,132 in profits, plus $1,083,748 in pre-
judgment interest, and to pay a civil penalty of $2,000,000. York
International is also ordered to retain an independent compliance
monitor. York International will also pay a $10 million fine pursuant
to a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of
Justice, Fraud Section.

The Commission considered remedial acts promptly undertaken by York
International, which self-reported, and cooperation afforded the
Commission staff in its continuing investigation. The Commission
acknowledges the assistance of the Department of Justice, Fraud
Section and the United Nations Independent Inquiry Committee. [SEC v.
York International Corporation, 07 CV 01750 (D.D.C.) (RCL)] (LR-20319)
