SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 16337 / October 15, 1999
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Luis Bulas, Jr.
Civil Action No. 98-2238 CIV-LENARD
Luis Bulas, Jr., Permanently Enjoined and Ordered To Pay
Disgorgement and a Civil Penalty
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced that on
October 5, 1999, a Final Judgement of Permanent Injunction and Other
Relief ("Judgement") was entered against Luis Bulas, Jr. ("Bulas") by
default enjoining him from future violations Section 17(a) of the
Securities Act of 1933, Sections 10(b) and 15(a)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. This Judgment also
ordered Bulas to pay disgorgement of $671,469.86 and a civil penalty
of $671,469.86. This Judgment stemmed from SEC allegations that from
approximately March 1995 through October 1997, Bulas misappropriated
approximately $700,000 from eleven investors. According to the SEC's
previously filed complaint, Bulas, a former registered representative
offered brokerage services to the public through his unregistered
broker-dealers, JLH Financial Services, Inc. and J.L. Henry & Company,
Inc. The complaint alleged that Bulas obtained funds from investors on
the false pretense that he would invest their monies in stocks, mutual
funds, secured promissory notes and other investments. The SEC further
alleged that Bulas employed a variety of schemes and devices in order
to misappropriate investors' funds, including the creation of false
stock certificates and false purchase confirmation statements.
