Wow, there is some justice in the world. I feel like going to visit Ira, saying Arif Adam is here to see him or something. I can see the former spokeswoman, Ana, commenting on his imprisonment: "ooooo... terrific!" I feel like digging up some old posts outlining how impressive Ira was, and what a great businessman he was being, leading FAMH shareholders to riches. Some other time. At least the victims have something to go after. He must have some money left from all the shares he sold. I'd like to know what they finally nailed him on to put him in prison. Finally? 45? I thought he was like 65, to hear him on conference calls.

It takes time but eventually the agencies catch up... Interesting name connection to Ira I had not placed previously and is unrelated to FAMH. DPetry may be interested in it. Whatever happened to that Ira promoter who followed him around and posted here so often? erhc.com

From today's SEC Digest: SEC FREEZES ASSETS OF UNREGISTERED BROKER-DEALER MILAN CAPITAL GROUP, INC. TO PROTECT INVESTOR FUNDS Today, the Commission announced that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting a Melville, New York company, Milan Capital Group, Inc., from offering or selling securities while failing to be registered with the Commission as a broker-dealer. The emergency federal court action also freezes more than $3.7 million held by Milan and provides other emergency relief. In addition to Milan, the action names as relief defendants Milan's president, Ira A. Monas, who is currently incarcerated in an upstate New York prison for grand larceny, and Milan's secretary, Rita A. Monas. The Commission's complaint alleges the following: Since October 1999, Milan has offered and purportedly sold securities in several highly-publicized initial public offerings (IPOs) to dozens of investors in several states. Milan has received funds from these investors based on representations that Milan would use the funds to purchase shares in IPOs. Milan lacked access to, and failed to obtain, any IPO shares for these investors. In addition, Milan commingled investors' funds in its own bank account, using the funds to pay Milan's operational expenses and disbursing funds to persons and entities other than the investors. Milan is not, and has never been, registered with the Commission as a broker-dealer and, therefore, is prohibited by federal law from selling, offering to sell, or inducing the sale of securities. By engaging in the above conduct, Milan violated the broker-dealer registration requirements of Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As relief, the Commission seeks (1) a permanent injunction against future violations of the broker-dealer registration provisions of the Exchange Act; (2) disgorgement of all proceeds Milan received from its activities as an unregistered broker-dealer, plus prejudgment interest; (3) a verified accounting of Milan's receipt and disbursement of investor funds; and (4) the imposition of civil money penalties.

Monas, 00 Civ. 108, DC, SDNY] (LR-16405) sec.gov Note: Two presumed typographical errors in the SEC original version have been corrected above ("3/4" symbols replaced by commas)
