antifraud, securities registration, and broker-dealer registration
provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with the sale
of
general partnership units in a 900 telephone line venture.
The Complaint alleges that certain of the defendants made
material
misrepresentations in the offering materials and in telephone
solicitations, that prospective investors could receive between a 24
percent return, for a four month period, to a 203 percent return, for
a
sixteen month period, on their investment in Telefund, and that these
and
other projections of extraordinarily high returns to investors were
without

from
investors, most of which was used to pay sales commissions and other
initial start up costs, according to the Complaint. In the Complaint,
