WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 (TNSdock) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release:

Securities and Exchange Commission v. Siddhi Patel, as Administrator of the Estate of Chirayu Vijay Patel (Deceased), No. 2:26-cv-13587 (D.N.J. filed Oct. 19, 2026)
On October 19, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed settled charges against the estate of Chirayu Vijay Patel, alleging that Patel misled over 40 investors about the performance and security of their investments and misappropriated investor funds for his own personal expenses.
According to the SEC'scomplaint, Patel solicited investments in two offerings, one in which Patel promised investors fixed returns of 6% per year, and the other in which he described as having a higher risk-return profile and target returns of 20% per year. The complaint alleges that between around July 2020 and November 2025, Patel pooled together approximately $10 million that he obtained from investors through the offerings, misappropriated approximately $1.2 million for personal expenses, returned approximately $1.5 million to some investors through Ponzi-like payments, and lost over $7 million through trading. The complaint further alleges that Patel repeatedly provided investors with false and misleading account statements and false rates of return, leading them to believe that he was generating profits when in fact he had lost or misappropriated nearly all of their money.
The SEC's complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, charges Patel with violating the antifraud provisions of 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. Without admitting the allegations in the SEC's complaint, the administrator of Patel's estate consented to the entry of a final judgment, subject to court approval, which would order the estate to pay disgorgement of $1,204,597.77 plus prejudgment interest of $198,497.46.
The SEC's investigation was conducted by Michael C. Ellis and James Flynn, and supervised by Lindsay S. Moilanen and Sheldon Pollock, all of the SEC's New York Regional Office. The litigation will be led by Christopher Colorado.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 (TNSdock) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release:
* * *
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Terrance P. Berland and David Michael Scalzo, No. 26-cv-02430 (M.D. Fla. filed Oct. 19, 2026)
On October 19, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed settled charges against Terrance P. Berland, former CEO and minority owner of Violet Defense Group, Inc., a now defunct Florida photonics company, and David Michael Scalzo, its former director and majority owner, in connection with their alleged misrepresentations concerning the company'sprojected revenues for 2021 and use of investor funds.
According to the SEC's complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, from at least April 2021 through November 2021, Berland and Scalzo raised approximately $13 million from 88 investors through a securities offering in the form of Class B shares in Violet Defense Group. As alleged, Berland and Scalzo negligently misrepresented that the company was on track to reach $15 million to $18 million in revenues in 2021 and that 10% of the funds raised from investors would be used for marketing and branding for its largest subsidiary, and, in securities purchase agreements disseminated to investors between August and October 2021, Berland and Scalzo gave false assurances that nothing had occurred that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition. As alleged, Berland and Scalzo should have known by August 2021 - but failed to disclose or correct - that these financial projections were inaccurate because the company's sales and royalty revenues had declined significantly, and by the end of August 2021, that more than 40% of investor funds were committed to a NASCAR team sponsorship.
Without admitting the allegations in the complaint, the Defendants have consented to the entry of final judgments, subject to court approval, which would permanently enjoin them from violating Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and order each to pay a civil penalty of $100,000.
The SEC's investigation was conducted by Brian Theophilus James, with assistance from Lina M. Fernandez and Brian Lechich, and supervised by Thierry Olivier Desmet and Stephanie N. Moot of the SEC's Miami Regional Office.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 (TNSdock) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release:
* * *
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Benjamin Conde, et al., No. 19-cv-05404 (E.D.N.Y. filed Sept. 23, 2019)
On October 20, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a proposed final judgment against Benjamin Conde in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York in connection with an alleged fraudulent scheme to manipulate the market for the securities of Renewable Energy and Power, Inc. ("RBNW").
According to the SEC's complaint, filed on September23, 2019, Conde orchestrated a scheme between March and July 2017 to manipulate the market price and trading volume of RBNW securities. The complaint alleged that Conde acquired millions of shares of RBNW, funded and coordinated a promotional campaign through a boiler room operation, and engaged in matched and wash trading designed to create the false appearance of active trading and artificially inflate the stock price. The complaint further alleged that Conde profited from the scheme by selling shares into the manipulated market at artificially high prices, causing substantial losses to retail investors.
In a parallel criminal action, Conde pleaded guilty to, among other charges, conspiracy to commit securities fraud.
Conde consented to the entry of a final judgment, subject to court approval, that would permanently enjoin him from violating the antifraud provisions of Section 17(a)(1) and (3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5(a) and (c) thereunder, as well as the market manipulation provisions of Section 9(a)(1) of the Exchange Act; impose a penny stock bar; and order Conde to pay disgorgement of $1,097,800 and prejudgment interest of $1,681,021.69, for a total of $2,778,821.69, which would be deemed satisfied by the restitution and forfeiture orders entered against him in the parallel criminal case. The final judgment against Conde, and the Commission's voluntary dismissal of its claims against Relief Defendants Essex Global Investment Corp. and Facultas Capital Management, Inc., concludes the litigation.
The SEC's investigation was conducted by Andrew Elliott and Cecilia Connor. The litigation was handled by James E. Smith and Matthew F. Scarlato and supervised by James Carlson. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

FCC Public Safety & Homeland Security Bureau Issues Public Notice: Conditional Approval, Exemption of Certain Routers, Advanced Robotic Devices From FCC Covered List
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 (TNSdock) -- The Federal Communications Commission Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau issued the following public notice (WC Docket No. 18-89; ET Docket No. 21-232; EA Docket No. 21-233):

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 (TNSdock) -- The Federal Communications Commission Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau issued the following public notice (WC Docket No. 18-89; ET Docket No. 21-232; EA Docket No. 21-233):
* * *
The Federal Communications Commission's (FCC or Commission) Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB or Bureau) maintains a list of equipment and services (Covered List) that have been determined to "pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States or the security and safety of United States persons."/1 Pursuant to Section 2 of the Secure andTrusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 (Secure Networks Act)/2 and sections 1.50002(a) and 1.50003 of the Commission's rules,/3 PSHSB announces that the Department of War (DoW) has granted Conditional Approval for certain foreign-produced routers and advanced robotic devices. Therefore, such devices are exempt from the Covered List.
Addition of Routers and Advanced Robotic Devices to the Covered List
Routers. On March 23, 2026, the Commission added to the Covered List "routers produced in a foreign country, except routers which have been granted a Conditional Approval by DoW or DHS."/4 This addition was based on a National Security Determination from an Executive Branch interagency body, including several appropriate national security agencies, determining (among other things) that routers produced in a foreign country pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons./5
Advanced Robotic Devices. On July 28, 2026, the Commission added to the Covered List "foreign-produced advanced robotic devices, except advanced robotic devices which have been granted a Conditional Approval by DoW."/6 This addition was based on a National Security Determination from an Executive Branch interagency body, including several appropriate national security agencies, determining (among other things) that advanced robotic devices produced in a foreign country pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons./7
Conditional Approvals
The Executive Branch interagency body established a process by which entities producing certain covered equipment in foreign countries can request DoW to evaluate whether such devices do not pose unacceptable risks to national security and receive Conditional Approvals that would exempt such devices from the Covered List. The Commission has previously updated the Covered List to reflect the Conditional Approvals that we have received from DoW exempting certain routers and advanced robotic devices from the Covered List./8
The Commission received National Security Determinations from DoW granting Conditional Approvals for the following devices:
* Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.'s Radix series GRBE94 and GRBE36 routers
* Vulcan Robotics Inc.'s Sourccey mobile robotic platform
Consistent with the National Security Determinations, these exemptions from the FCC's Covered List are subject to the companies' continuing "compliance with the onshoring plan[s] outlined in [their] conditional approval application[s]" and "pursuant to updated vetting of [their] products."/9
The Covered List
We find that the Conditional Approval constitutes "a specific determination" by DoW that such devices do not pose risks to U.S. national security./10 Therefore, we conclude that PSHSB is required to update the Covered List to exclude the equipment identified in the Conditional Approval.
PSHSB takes this action under its authority and obligation to publish and maintain the Covered List. Sections 1.50002(a) and 1.50003 of the Commission's rules require PSHSB to publish the Covered List on the Commission's website, to maintain and update the Covered List, and to monitor the status of determinations./11
The Covered List and the list of devices that have received Conditional Approvals are attached as Appendices A and B to this Public Notice and can also be found on the Bureau's website at https://www.fcc.gov/supplychain/coveredlist./12
We note the continued availability of FCC staff guidance pursuant to sections 0.191 and 0.31(i) of the Commission's rules. Commission staff will provide guidance to TCBs, test labs, and equipment authorization applicants on the impact of these updates.
