Off-Topic:
I have pondered the meaning of your message sir. I have even been pensive about it. But to my dismay, I found that the disclosure of your secrets may indeed enhance my gambling ways. However, the big fat man in the red suit does condone some forms of gambling. CAN you DEVelope some form of RX for me to cure my ills.
Thank you sir.
i found a mild mannered mouse on the king's property trying to sneak by unabated. an exploratory team for analysis of the problem was propsed. a few traps were set, and a few of them actually stirred... unlike christmas eve. in any case the conclusive report stated that there may be a chance a big fat man will show up in a red suit with lots of gifts. the red suit is optional. i can devinitely dream and if i'm gonna dream it might as well be big! (disclaimer: i do not condone dreams about big fat men in red felt suits bearing gifts). i'm putting this in my CV.
ps: i need to get my RX filled i'm running pretty low.

COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff Securities Exchange Commission ("Commission") alleges:
INTRODUCTION
1. The federal securities laws require persons who offer and sell securities of a public
company to file a registration statement for those transactions in order to provide information to
investors about the business operations and financial condition of the company. Persons who
purchase shares from a company with a view to offer or sell the shares for the company in
1643 Document 1 Filed Page 2 of 32
case 3:07-w
connection with a distribution of the company's securities, are "underwriters," whose securities transactions must be registered.
2.
Rule 504 adopted as part of Regulation D, 17 C.F.R. 5 230.501 et seq. (1999), exempts limited offerings and sales of securities that do not exceed $1,000,000, if, among other things, the offers and sales are made according to state law exemptions from registration so long as sales are made only to accredited investors. However, the accredited investor exemption under Texas law is not available to purchasers who acquire securities with a view to or for sale in connection with a distribution of securities. Under Texas law applicable during the time period covered by this complaint, any resale of a security made in reliance on the accredited investor exemption within twelve months of receipt from the issuer is presumed to be with a new to distribution and is not exempt ffom the registration provisions.
3.
During 2004, the defendants participated in a scheme to evade the registration requirements of the federal securities laws by offering and selling the securities of six companies to the public when no registration statements were in effect for their sales transactions. Texas residents Shane A. Mullholand ("Mullholand"), Ryan M. Reynolds ("'Reynolds"), and Timothy
T. Page ("Page") located companies that were interested in raising money by selling shares to investors through the public stock markets, and introduced them to defendant David B. Stocker ("Stocker"), an Arizona attorney specializing in securities law.
4. Stocker drafted corporate resolutions, subscription agreements, legal opinions, and other documents designed to give the appearance that the companies' offers of shares were limited to accredited investors. These investors included Page and companies controlled by Mullholand, Reynolds, or Phillip W. Offill, Jr. ("Offill"), who purported to hold the securities for investment.
1643 Document 1 007 Page 3of 32
09'W
Case 3:07-w
5.
In fact, Page, Mullholand, Reynolds, Offill, Stocker, and entities under their control acted as underwriters of the offerings. They purchased shares directly or indirectly from one or more of the six companies with a view to distributing the sharesto the public and immediately resold the shares to public investors. No registration statements gving investors information about the business operations of the companies were filed or in effect for these transactions. These defendants' offers and sales of shares to public investors were the primary means through which Stocker, Page, Mullholand and Reynolds intended to finance and, to a limited extent, did finance the six companies.
6.
Stockerwas to receive shares from each of the six companies as compensation for his legal work. In an effort to circumvent the registration requirement and create the appearance that the shares of each company were issued only to Texas residents, Stocker directed the companies to issue the shares intended for his compensation to one of six Texas corporations or limited liability companies, five of which were controlled by Offill. In those five instances, Offill, a Texas attorney, used the Texas corporations and limited liability companies to hide Stocker's receipt of the shares from the companies.
7.
Offill participated in the sham transactions designed to evade the registration provisions by signing subscription agreements with each of the five companies and falsely representing that the entities he controlled were purchasing the shares to hold for investment. In fact, Offill's entities merely took title to the newly issued shares without paying for them, and then immediately transferred the shares to Curtis-Case, Inc., a Colorado corporation controlled by Stocker, and, in one instance, to entities controlled by Mullholand, Reynolds, or Steven P. Fischer ("Fischer"), for further distribution to the public.
Case 3:07-w
1643 Document 1 Filed 0912@007 Page 4of 32
8.
Mullholand and Reynolds directed the six companies to issue shares to defendants Dissemination Services, L.L.C. ("Dissemination") or RSMR Capital Group, Inc. ("RSMR'?, as compensation for the consulting or underwriting services. Mullholand and Reynolds then offered and sold the shares to the public and induced their family, friends and others to purchase the shares.
9.
Mullholand, Reynolds, RSMR,and Dissemination each acted as unregistered broker- dealers by engaging in the business of undenniting public offerings and by inducing the purchase or sale of the securities of the six companies.
10.
ATN Enterprises, L.L.C. ("Am Enterprises"), a company owned by Fischer, received shares indirectly from three of the six companies in exchange for conducting promotional cknpaigns to create demand for investors to the purchase shares. ATN Enterprises and Fischer offered and sold the shares of three of the companies. Fischer paid approximately $1million of the proceeds from his stock sales to defendants Timothy B. Barham ('Barham") and Ballad Enterprises, Inc. as a finder's fee for introducing him to Mullhotand and Reynolds.
11. Page directed two of the six companies to issue shares to him as compensation for consulting and underwriting services that he provided. Page then offered and sold the shares of the two companies through brokerage accounts ia his own name and the name of Page Properties, L.P ('Page Properties").
12.
Page and Page Properties acted as unregistered broker-dealers by engaging in the business of underwriting public securities offerings.
13.
As a result of the conduct described in this Complaint, defendants Ofill, Stocker, Mullholand, Reynolds, Page, Fischer, Curtis-Case, RSMR, Dissemination, Page Properties, and ATN Enterprises offered and sold unregistered securities in violation of Section 5(a) and (c) of
1643 Document 1 Filed Page 5 of 32

the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), 15 U.S.C. 5 77e (a) and (c). Defendants Mullholand, Reynolds, Page, RSMR, Dissemination, and Page Properties acted as unregistered brokerdealers in violation of Section 15 (a)(l) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 ("Exchange Act'?, 15 U.S.C. 5 78o(a)(l).
14. The Commission seeks a judgment against all Defendants permanently enjoining them ltom future violations of the federal securities laws, ordering them to disgorge dl ill-gotten gains from the unlawful conduct alleged in this complaint plus prejudgment interest, and to pay civil monetary penalties for their violations pursuant to Section 20(d) of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. 577t (d), and Section 21(d) (3) of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. 78u (d) (3). The Commission further requests that the judgment prohibit all Defendants fromparticipating in future penny stock offerings. The Commission also seeks a judgment ordering the Relief Defendants, Barham, Ballad Enterprises, Inc., and Bellatalia L.P., to disgorge funds received hm the defendants' unregistered stock sales.

The subscription agreements represented that the initial investors were acquiring stock for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution and had no intention to sell the stock.

Litigation Release No. 20302 / September 27, 2007
SEC v. Phillip W. Offill, Jr., David B. Stocker, Shane A. Mullholand, Ryan M. Reynolds, Timothy T. Page, Steven P. Fischer, Curtis-Case, Inc., RSMR Capital Group, Inc., Dissemination Services, L.L.C., Page Properties, L.P., ATN Enterprises, L.L.C., Timothy B. Barham, Ballad Enterprises, Inc., and Bellatalia, L.P., Civil Action No. 3:07-cv-01643 (N.D. Tex.)
On September 26, 2007, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil complaint against six individuals and five entities, alleging that they engaged in a scheme to evade the registration requirements of the federal securities laws in connection with their sales of shares of six public companies. The complaint alleges that six companies purported to sell their stock to accredited investors in transactions exempt from registration under Rule 504 of Regulation D. In fact, the complaint alleges, the accredited investors were underwriters who immediately resold their stock to the public without registering the transactions with the Commission, thereby precluding any exemption.
The complaint names as defendants Phillip W. Offill, Jr., of Dallas, Texas, and David Stocker, of Phoenix, Arizona, two attorneys who worked on the offerings. According to the complaint, Stocker directed the six companies to issue shares to six Texas entities which represented they were holding the shares for investment. However, five of the Texas entities were controlled by Offill, who immediately transferred the shares to Curtis-Case, Inc., a company controlled by Stocker. Stocker then sold the shares to the public. The complaint also names as defendants Texas residents, Shane A. Mullholand, Ryan M. Reynolds, and Timothy T. Page, who located companies that needed to raise capital. They introduced the companies to Stocker, and then acting through entities they controlled received and sold stock to the public to provide capital to the companies. The complaint alleges that these individuals kept profits from the sales far in excess of funds that they provided to the six companies. The complaint also alleges that Mullholand, Reynolds, Page, and their entities unlawfully acted as unregistered broker-dealers.
The complaint further alleges that Mullholand and Reynolds transferred some of their stock in three of the offerings to ATN Enterprises, LLC, a company owned by Steven P. Fischer, a Florida resident, who sold it to the public to raise funds for promotional campaigns for three of the companies and for his own personal profit. Fischer allegedly provided a portion of his profits to Timothy B. Barham as compensation for his introduction to Mullholand and Reynolds.
Offill, Stocker, Mullholand, Reynolds, Page, and Fischer are charged with violating the securities registration provisions of the federal securities laws, Sections 5(a) and (c) of the Securities Act of 1933. The complaint also charges the following entities with violating Sections 5(a) and (c): Curtis-Case, Inc. (controlled by Stocker); RSMR Capital Group, Inc. (controlled by Mullholand and Reynolds); Dissemination Services, L.L.C. (owned by Mullholand, and which provided funds to Reynolds); Page Properties, L.P. (controlled by Page), and ATN Enterprises, L.L.C. (controlled by Fischer). The complaint further charges Mullholand, Reynolds, Page, RSMR Capital Group, Dissemination Services, and Page Properties with violating Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which prohibits persons from acting as brokers or dealers without registration with the Commission.
The Commission seeks permanent injunctions against Offill, Stocker, Mullholand, Reynolds, Page, Fischer, and the entity defendants. The Commission also seeks an accounting and disgorgement of ill-gotten gains from the stock sales, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, civil penalties, and bars from participating in penny stock offerings. Finally, the complaint names Barham, Ballad Enterprises, Inc. (controlled by Barham), and Bellatalia L.P. (controlled by Reynolds) as relief defendants, and seeks disgorgement from them of money that they received which can be traced to proceeds from unlawful stock sales.
