WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release:
* * *
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Paul Thomas Croft et al., No. 1:26-cv-00257 (E.D. Tenn. filed Sept. 11, 2026)
On September 11, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed fraud charges against Paul Thomas Croft, Jonathan David Frost, and Matthew William Dira, alleging a multimillion-dollar, multi-year offering fraud.
According to the SEC's complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, between approximately January 2021 and September2023, Croft and Frost, through entities including Croft & Frost, PLLC and others, fraudulently offered and sold securities in the form of promissory notes and membership interests in limited liability companies, raising approximately $64 million from more than 230 investors. The complaint alleges that, rather than using funds for the profit-making activities that were represented to investors, Croft and Frost misappropriated investor funds to cover the expenses of a separate tax preparation business and finance their own luxury lifestyles and used investor funds to make Ponzi-style payments to existing investors. The complaint further alleges that Dira, acting as a securities salesperson and administrator, continued to solicit and sell millions of dollars' worth of promissory notes to investors--while earning more than $500,000 salary and commissions--even after receiving communications warning that Croft and Frost were likely running a Ponzi scheme.
The SEC's complaint charges Croft and Frost with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and charges Dira with violating Section 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Section 15(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Frost consented to the entry of a bifurcated judgment, subject to court approval, that would permanently enjoin him from violating the charged provisions of the federal securities laws and from participating in the issuance, purchase, offer, or sale of any security except for his own personal accounts, and order him to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty in amounts to be determined by the Court upon motion by the Commission.
Frost previously pleaded guilty to criminal fraud and money laundering charges in a parallel criminal case, United States v. Jonathan D. Frost, No. 1:26-cr-00004-TRM-CHS (EDTN).
The SEC's investigation was conducted by Tiffany Kunkle and Justin Delfino of the SEC's Atlanta Regional Office and supervised by Peter J. Diskin and Justin Jeffries. The SEC's litigation will be conducted by Paul Kim and Supervised by M. Graham Loomis.

On September 10, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Ernest Ossei Boateng and two New Jersey-based companies he controls, Intercontinental Wealth Network LLC and I Wealth Network LP, for allegedly raising approximately $16 million from more than 200 inexperienced investors through a Ponzi scheme he operated from at least January 2020 until at least March

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release:
* * *
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Ernest Ossei Boateng, et al., No. 26-cv-5605 (E.D.N.Y. filed Sept. 10, 2026)
On September 10, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Ernest Ossei Boateng and two New Jersey-based companies he controls, Intercontinental Wealth Network LLC and I Wealth Network LP, for allegedly raising approximately $16 million from more than 200 inexperienced investors through a Ponzi scheme he operated from at least January 2020 until at least March2026.
According to the SEC's complaint, Boateng, acting through his two companies, solicited, recommended, and sold interests in an alleged investment fund, primarily targeting Christians of Ghanaian heritage in New York and New Jersey, many of whom had no prior investing experience. The complaint alleges that Boateng told investors that their investments would generate guaranteed fixed returns and that the investment fund would pursue a low-risk investment strategy. Rather than investing the money as promised, however, Boateng allegedly misappropriated more than $5.8 million for his personal expenses, including the purchase, renovation, and furnishing of his home. Boateng also allegedly used approximately $6.6 million to make Ponzi-like payments to earlier investors. The complaint further alleges that, to the limited extent Boateng did invest the money, he failed to do so in low-risk investments with fixed returns. Instead, according to the complaint, Boateng used investor money to engage in high-risk, speculative day-trading, leading to more than $750,000 in trading losses.
The SEC's complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, charges Boateng, Intercontinental, and I Wealth with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Boateng and Intercontinental with violating Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder. The complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with pre-judgment interest, and civil penalties against all of the defendants, as well as conduct-based injunctions against Boateng and Intercontinental.
The SEC's investigation was conducted by Elizabeth Butler, Elizabeth Rosen, and Melissa Coppola under the supervision of Alison Conn and Thomas P. Smith, Jr. of the SEC's New York Regional Office. The litigation will be led by Todd Brody under the supervision of Jack Kaufman.

FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Issues Public Notice: Bureau Seeks Comment on Ocean Signal Request for Waiver to Permit Equipment Authorization
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 -- The Federal Communications Commission's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau issued the following public notice (WT Docket No. 26-251):
* * *
By this Public Notice, we seek comment on Ocean Signal Ltd.'s (Ocean Signal) request for waiver of Section 95.2989(b)(1)(ii) of the Commission's rules to permit the equipment authorization and use of its latest Man Overboard (MOB) device/1--MOB2./2 The MOB2 is a Maritime Survivor Locating Device (MSLD)/3 that operates on Automatic Identification System (AIS)/4 channels and integrates very high frequency (VHF) digital selective calling

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 -- The Federal Communications Commission's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau issued the following public notice (WT Docket No. 26-251):
* * *
By this Public Notice, we seek comment on Ocean Signal Ltd.'s (Ocean Signal) request for waiver of Section 95.2989(b)(1)(ii) of the Commission's rules to permit the equipment authorization and use of its latest Man Overboard (MOB) device/1--MOB2./2 The MOB2 is a Maritime Survivor Locating Device (MSLD)/3 that operates on Automatic Identification System (AIS)/4 channels and integrates very high frequency (VHF) digital selective calling(DSC)/5 in compliance with a current Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM)/6 standard--RTCM 11901.2, Standard for Maritime Survivor Locating Devices (MSLD)./7
MSLDs are transmitters intended for use by those who are at risk of falling into the water, such as mariners and workers on marine installations or docks, or by divers who are out of sight of their dive boats./8 Overall, MSLDs aid in locating persons in the water./9 MSLDs can be worn on or as part of a garment or life jacket and are intended to facilitate immediate rescue./10
Domestically, the sale and use of an MSLD requires a company to obtain an FCC ID number, which indicates that the device has received an FCC grant of certification./11 Currently, to be manufactured, imported, or sold in the United States, MSLDs must conform with RTCM Standard 11901.1 (Maritime Survivor Locating Devices (MSLD)), which is incorporated by reference in 47 CFR Sec. 95.2989(b)(1)(ii)./12
However, in November 2024, RTCM Standard 11901.2 was published./13 This updated standard recognized the integration of DSC and AIS technologies./14 According to Ocean Signal, the MOB2 immediately activates a DSC distress call on a vessel's VHF radio and transmits a location via AIS that rapidly alerts the maritime community./15 Consequently, Ocean Signal seeks a waiver to permit equipment certification and use of the MOB2, which Ocean Signal asserts is compliant with the latest RTCM standard that is not incorporated into the Commission's rules./16
Accordingly, the Bureau seeks comment on Ocean Signal's waiver request for the MOB2. Ocean Signal filed its request electronically in the Commission's Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS). We have since opened a new docket, WT Docket No. 26-251, to facilitate consideration of Ocean Signal's request and associated submissions. Parties should file all comments and reply comments in WT Docket No. 26-251.

Background. In 1998, the Commission established a structure to allow RPCs optimal flexibility to meet state and local needs, encourageinnovative use of narrowband spectrum in the 700 MHz band, and accommodate new and as yet unanticipated developments in technology and equipment./4 Each of the fifty-five (55) RPCs is required to submit its plan for General Use spectrum./5 The Commission's role in relation to the RPCs is limited to (1) defining the regional boundaries; (2) requiring fair and open procedures, i.e., requiring notice, opportunity for comment, and reasonable consideration; (3) specifying the elements that all regional plans must include; and (4) reviewing and accepting proposed plans (or amendments to approved plans) or rejecting them with an explanation./6
The Region 21 700 MHz Plan Update. On September 17, 2025, the RPC submitted an amendment to the Region 21 - 700 MHz Plan./7 In its amendment, the RPC proposes to:
* Delete obsolete language,
* Accept applications via CAPRAD, and
* Adopt a 45-business day response window./8
Region 21's RPC received concurrence letters for the proposed Plan Amendment from its four adjacent regions: Region 14 (Indiana), Region 45 (Wisconsin), and Region 54 (Chicago-Metropolitan) and Region 33 (Ohio)./9
On March 23, 2026, the Bureau released a Public Notice seeking comment on the Region 21 Plan Amendment./10 We received no comments.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following news release:
* * *
SEC Grants Exemptive Relief from Certain Inline XBRL Filing or Submission Requirements
*
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order granting exemptive relief from certain Inline XBRL requirements adopted on Dec. 16, 2024. More specifically, the Commission is granting exemptive relief from filing or submitting the following in Inline XBRL: Form CA-1 (except Exhibit H thereto), Form 1 (except Exhibit I thereto), Form X-17A-5 Part III, Form 17-H, and the annual compliance reportof a security-based swap dealer or major security-based swap participant. These forms and submissions are specific to market intermediaries and are primarily used by the Commission to assess whether registered entities meet relevant standards - including legal, financial, and operational standards - necessary to comply with the Exchange Act.
"This exemptive order - which provides commonsense relief without sacrificing investor protection - will reduce compliance costs and enable market participants to more efficiently allocate resources, including to support or enhance their operations and existing compliance obligations," said SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins. "This action furthers the Commission's efforts to transform our rulebook by trimming immaterial requirements that burden the market without materially benefitting investors."
The exemptive relief is expected to reduce potentially significant unnecessary compliance costs, which firms may ultimately pass on to investors through higher fees, without meaningful gains in transparency or data accessibility to investors.
