B.C. Securities Commission - Van Sun says VSE firms cited by SEC, while Canaccord reacts B.C. Securities Commission BCSEC Shares issued 0 1899-12-30 close $0 Thursday Sep 23 1999 See Vancouver Stock Exchange (VSE) In the News The Vancouver Sun reports in its Thursday edition that United States securities regulators have filed another complaint against a U.S. stock promoter who allegedly used two Vancouver brokerage firms for illicit stock transactions. Reporter David Baines says the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleges in a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in California that Los Angeles promoter Kevin Quinn used accounts at Pacific International Securities. Neither brokerager firm is named as a defendant of accused of doing anything wrong. It is the fourth time, however, that Pacific International has been named as a conduit for illegal stock trades or money-laundering activities. The growing number of cases in which Vancouver brokerages are alleged to have facilitated crooked stock deals has prompted some to implement new rules. P.I. instituted new bulletin board rules last month, and a Sept. 2 internal memo from Peter Brown reveals that Canaccord Capital is doing the same. Mr. Brown expects several more charges against Canadian registrants over the next several months as a result of bulletin board activity.

Interesting news . . . Post says U.S. declares war on money laundering Friday Sep 24 1999 The Financial Post reports in a lead story in its Friday edition that the United States has declared war on money laundering. Reporter Peter Morton says that as the scandal over Russian money-laundering continues to grow, the U.S. administration says it will call on anyone who handles cash, from grocery store clerks to casino operators, to help stop drug smugglers and criminals from using the U.S. financial system to launder as much as $500-billion (U.S.) a year. Attorney General Janet Reno says that money laundering is a very sophisticated crime and American officials must be equally sophisticated to adapt their efforts to confront these criminals. The administration's latest attack on money laundering was being put together before the investigation into the diversion of as much as $15-billion (U.S.) by Russian government officials and organized crime through the U.S. banking system. So far, only three banks, Bank of New York, Republic Bank and Barclays, have been linked to money diversion, but a report in USA Today on Thursday said it may have spread to as many as 10 U.S. banks.
