US market regulator SEC has charged India-origin businessmen for fraudulent sale of shares to the tune of USD 900,000 by claiming that he owned these stocks.
That person sold the stocks he supposedly owned in a privately-held information technology company called CSS Corp Technologies (Mauritius) Ltd. He is the owner of several now-defunct investment entities.
According to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), he deceived the buyers into believing that he owned the shares, orchestrated a series of secret wire transfers, and induced the stock transfer agent into recording his fraudulent sales.
"He stole the money he received from investors for his own use," SEC said in a statement on Tuesday.
Besides, He has never been registered with the SEC nor was licensed to trade securities.
