SEC suspends 17 companies in ‘penny stock’ crackdown

The Securities and Exchange Commission has suspended trading in 17 companies as part of a crackdown on penny stock fraud.

The action was coordinated by the agency’s new Microcap Fraud Working Group, according to a statement Tuesday.


“They may be called ‘penny stocks,’ but victims of microcap fraud can suffer devastating losses,” said Robert Khuzami, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “The SEC’s new Microcap Fraud Working Group is targeting the insiders and promoters, as well as the transfer agents, attorneys, auditors, broker-dealers, and other “gatekeepers” who flourish in the shadows of this less-than-transparent market.”

The 17 companies and their ticker symbols are:
American Pacific Rim Commerce Group (APRM), based in Citra, Fla.
