Once this went Federal we all become victims with high ability for restitution. Could also argue damages from SEC as they were slow for any investors. Good chance of recovery with this type of indictment.
SEC Civil Complaint (January 21, 2026): The SEC filed a civil lawsuit in U.S. District Court, Southern District of California, against RB Capital Partners, Inc., Brett Rosen, Deborah Braun (co-owner), and David M. Massey. It alleges a multi-year scheme (2021–2024) involving market manipulation, undisclosed sales, and fraudulent promotion of OTC stocks (including Optec International Inc. – OPTI and others like SIRC, Sunshine Biopharma, etc.). Violations: Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act (Rule 10b-5). The SEC seeks disgorgement, penalties, and injunctions (e.g., trading bans) – no criminal charges in the filing.
Separate Criminal Indictment (Federal Grand Jury): On or around the same timeframe (reported January 21–22, 2026), a federal grand jury in the Southern District of California indicted Brett Rosen (45) and Deborah Rosen (44) on 24 counts including securities fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy. This is a criminal case (U.S. v. Rosen et al., likely 26-CR-0192-DMS), prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office with FBI involvement. It alleges manipulation of six public companies (explicitly naming Optec International, Inc. among them), false investor info, secret sales for profit, and use of gains for luxury purchases (e.g., La Jolla home). Potential penalties: 5–20 years prison per count + fines up to $5M.
