Just a reminder who PPI is: The letter dated 11/26/99 with the letter head PT. Pasifica Pratama Investindo signed by William Strong (President) .The one that says PT. Pasifica Pratama Investindo purchased Oxford International Management, Inc a Philippine registered company in August of 1997. Its funny though because I do not see it on his NASDR employment history. 209.130.49.78 (says PT. Pasifica Pratama Investindo purchased Oxford International Management, Inc a Philippine registered company in August of 1997. Its funny though because I do not see it on his NASDR employment history.) By: Bengali $$$ Reply To: None Wednesday, 23 Aug 2000 at 1:16 AM EDT Post # of 25407 Courier companies have great databases: When I received my copy of the Morgan Fund prospectus from PPI in May, I called the courier company to find out where it came from. They were very helpful. PPI had a number in Jakarta. When PPI's main man finally returned my calls, he said he was in the Philippines. The courier company said my package was sent by Oxford Int'l/Momentum Asia and gave me the phone number of Momentum's Clark facility. Perhaps we now know where the boiler room was hiding. The next day the courier called to say the package originated or was sent from an address in Germany - Morgan Management Ltd. I called this number and a Mr "Montedon" was not in the country. ragingbull.altavista.com

TWO NEW RECRUITS ARE NOW AVALABLE FOR LYNN BRIGGS AND INTERNATIONAL ASSET MANAGEMENT 2 AR Baron Ex-Brokers Barred for Stock Manipulation Scheme Washington, Aug. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Two more former employees of defunct broker-dealer A.R. Baron & Co., Inc. agreed to settle Securities and Exchange Commission charges for their roles in a stock manipulation scheme that allegedly cost investors $75 million, the SEC said. Richard Acosta and Mark Goldman agreed to be barred from the securities business and to stop committing future violations of the federal securities laws, the SEC said. Acosta is serving a two-to-six-year jail term in Lincoln Correctional Facility in New York City after a related state criminal probe. As a result, he is unable to return illegal profits or to pay an SEC civil penalty, the agency said. Goldman also cannot pay his civil penalty because of a commitment to pay $120,000 in a related matter, the SEC said. In May 1997, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau charged Manhattan-based A.R. Baron and 13 ex-Baron officials and brokers with manipulating stock prices, conducting unauthorized stock purchases, and refusing to obey customers' sale requests from 1991 to 1996. The SEC first brought civil administrative proceedings against the firm and seven brokers in October 1996, but put some action on hold until Morgenthau's probe was completed. With Wednesday's settlements, however, SEC has almost completed its own actions in the matter. Last November, the SEC ordered A.R. Baron President Andrew Bressman and its head trader Roman Okin to return $6.6 million in another settlement agreement. Bressman was ordered to return $6.03 million and Okin was ordered to return about $622,500, with the money paid in installments from future earnings, the SEC said. Out of Business ``What you've basically got here is a bunch of bad brokers who are being kicked out of the industry,'' said Larry Ellsworth, SEC assistant chief litigation counsel in Washington. ``They had a bucket shop and they sold worthless securities. The company's been put out of business.'' Acosta was unavailable for comment. Goldman's attorney also wasn't immediately available. Bressman pled guilty in 1997 to criminal charges of enterprise corruption and grand larceny stemming from his activities at A.R. Baron. Okin was sentenced in July 1999 to up to nine years in prison for his role in defrauding investors. Last November, the SEC also banned former Baron trader Richard Simone from the industry and said he will face stiffer sanctions if he violates SEC law again. Simone pled guilty in 1997 to grand larceny and was sentenced to five years probation and fined $5,000. The SEC hasn't yet settled charges against ex-Baron traders Jack Wolynez and Burton Blank, the commission said. Aug/23/2000 17:43 ET For more stories from Bloomberg News, click here.
