#24224 RE: StockItOut #24219

The SEC's complaint, filed in federal district court in Boston, Massachusetts, alleges that from 2013 through 2021, Auctus Management, Sollami, and Posner engaged in the business of purchasing convertible notes and associated warrants from microcap issuers, converting the notes into shares of stock at a large discount from the market price, and selling those newly issued shares into the market at a significant profit. Auctus Management, Sollami, and Posner allegedly purchased through Auctus Fund notes from more than 150 separate issuers and sold more than 60 billion shares of newly issued stock into the market, generating profits of over $100 million. As alleged, Auctus Management, Sollami, and Posner failed to register as securities dealers with the SEC or associate themselves with a registered dealer, in violation of the mandatory registration provisions of the federal securities laws.
