The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) deems it appropriate and in the public interest that public administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings be, and hereby are, instituted pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), and Sections 17A and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) against Empire Stock Transfer, Inc. and Matthew J. Blevins (collectively “Respondents”).
“These enforcement actions bar any further penny stock activity by these market participants, including attorneys and a transfer agent supervisor who betrayed the trust that investors place in gatekeepers to protect them in this highly risky market,” said Stephanie Avakian, Deputy Director of the SEC’s Enforcement Division. “The SEC is committed to combating microcap fraud through the investigative work of its Microcap Fraud Task Force, the initiatives of its Microcap Fraud Working Group, and repeated warnings to investors about the red flags of penny stock investing.”
