Are the Kingdom of Enenkio Atol and the Kingdom of Enenkio the same entity? In any event, from today's SEC Digest:
INTERNET OFFERING ACTION FILED AGAINST ROBERT F. MOORE D/B/A THE KINGDOM OF ENENKIO The Commission filed an action against Robert F. Moore, individually and doing business as The Kingdom of Enenkio, of Honolulu, Hawaii. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii, alleges that Moore, a resident of Honolulu, Hawaii, is holding himself out to be the head of State of The Kingdom of Enenkio. The complaint alleges that Moore is currently conducting a $1 billion offering of "Enenkio Gold War bonds" on an Internet Web site (www.Enenkio.org), through e-mail solicitations sent worldwide, and in postings to various Internet bulletin boards. Enenkio asserts ancestral tribunal rights to Wake Island and atolls in the Marshall Islands chain and claims an intention to develop its territories. According to the complaint, the Kingdom of Enenkio is not recognized in any international forum as a sovereign state nor is it a corporate or statutory entity. The complaint alleges that Moore's offering materials represent that the bonds will pay a compound interest rate of ten percent after 5 years. The complaint also alleges that Moore represents that the bonds are "backed by gold reserves, guarantees, real property or other assets." However, according to the complaint, Moore has no gold reserves and no security, real property or otherwise, exists for the bonds. The complaint further alleges that the bonds have not been registered with the Commission and no exemption for registration applies.
Judge Susan Mollway granted an emergency temporary restraining order against Moore. Judge Mollway's order enjoined Moore from violating the antifraud and securities registration provisions of the federal securities laws, required Moore to provide an accounting, and froze Moore's assets pending determination of the matter on the merits.
