According to the Commission's complaint, filed on May 14, 1998, Iacoviello violated the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws while employed as a registered representative with the San Diego branch office of La Jolla Securities Corp. by accepting undisclosed compensation for recommending and selling stock in RMS Titanic, Inc. to his clients.
Without admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission's complaint, Iacoviello consented to a permanent injunction against future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Iacoviello also consented to pay disgorgement of $30,325 plus prejudgment interest thereon of $16,155.30, subject to a waiver of all but $10,000 based upon Iacoviello's demonstrated inability to pay.

SEC says former LS Capital officer Montle fined
WASHINGTON, July 13 (Reuters) - Paul Montle, former president and chief executive of LS Capital Corp., was ordered to pay more than $415,000 and barred from serving as an officer or director for five years for alleged fraud involving three other companies in the early 1990s, regulators said on Friday.
Montle, 53, who resides in Massachusetts, was also barred from participating in the sale of securities for five years, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The ruling, which was handed down on Thursday by a U.S. federal judge in New York, fines Montle $50,000, orders him to pay back more than $365,000 in disgorgement and interest, and bars him from holding executive roles in publicly-traded companies, closes an SEC civil case filed back in May 1998.
Montle, while a CEO and director of Viral Testing Systems Corp., which marketed an HIV diagnostic test called "Fluorognost," more than doubled revenues and overstated revenue projections in two trade publications in 1992 and in a 1993 company press release, the SEC alleged.
As chairman and CEO of gambling casino operator Lone Star Casino Corp., he intentionally left out in SEC filings the sale of more than 1 million shares to foreign investors in 1993 and altered minutes from board meetings and the company's financial books to cover it up, the SEC alleged.
He was also accused of profiting more than $187,000 by manipulating in 1993 the stock of RMS Titanic Inc. , which owns the salvage rights to the sunken Titanic.
Montle's "violations involving fraud and deceit were numerous and ongoing," and his "actions were knowing departures from the securities laws," the SEC quoted federal district judge Milton Pollack as saying.
The ruling was made after a four-day trial in May, the SEC said. His attorney did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.
