"We will utilize all available means, including referral to criminal authorities, to prosecute those who attempt to thwart our investigations.

The SEC thanks the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority for their assistance in this matter. The SEC's investigation is continuing.
