Jean Paul Ramirez Rico has settled a $12 million fraud case filed towards him by the SEC.
On January twenty fourth the the SEC filed a Movement for Entry of Judgment towards Ramirez. Ramirez consented to the movement, constituting an efficient settlement.
The courtroom granted the SEC’s movement later the identical day, leaving Angel Rodriguez the one defendant standing.
The SEC sued Ramirez and co-defendants Dan Putnam and Angel Rodriguez in mid 2020.
The regulator alleged the trio defrauded shoppers via his Trendy Cash Crew, Eyeline Buying and selling and WealthBoss Ponzi schemes.
Unwell-gotten beneficial properties acquired via Putnam’s scams had been laundered via R & D International LLC and MMT Distribution LLC, additionally named defendants.
Judgment was ordered towards R & D International and MMT Distribution on January sixth, the identical day judgment was ordered towards Daniel Putnam (proper).
All judgments entered thus far are bifurcated, that means disgorgement, prejudgment curiosity and civil penalty quantities are but to be decided.
The SEC will file a movement requesting willpower of the quantities at a later date. I consider the timing of this hinges on wrapping up the case towards Angel Rodriguez, both through settlement or trial.
Ramirez’s and Putnam’s settlements embody an injunction, prohibiting them from committing additional violations of the Securities and Alternate Act.
Given his two companions in crime have settled the fraud fees, it’s unlikely Rodriguez will proceed to trial.
