Securities and Exchange Commission v. Evarist C. Amah, No. 7:21-cv-06694 (KMK) (S.D.N.Y. filed Aug. 9, 2021)
On July 15, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a modified final judgment as to Evarist C. Amah, who the SEC previously charged with operating a fraudulent investment scheme targeting fellow members of his religion.
According to the SEC's complaint, filed on August 9, 2021, Amah ran a years-long scheme through which he raised approximately$698,000 from fellow members of his religion using materially false and misleading statements about his investment performance. On September 28, 2023, the District Court granted the SEC's motion for summary judgment, and found Amah liable for fraudulently soliciting investments by "consistently offer[ing] positive projections while failing to disclose the serious losses he consistently incurred."
On July 2, 2024, the District Court entered a final judgment permanently enjoining Amah from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder. The District Court also ordered Amah to disgorge $10,000.00 in ill-gotten gains, with $1,617.82 in prejudgment interest thereon, and to pay a civil penalty of $669,667.00.
On February 24, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court's final judgment as to liability and remedies for Amah's violations of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, but vacated and remanded the final judgment as to the Advisers Act claims.
On remand, the SEC moved to dismiss its Advisers Act claims and requested that the District Court enter a modified final judgment against Amah on the Securities Act and Exchange Act claims affirmed by the Second Circuit. On July 15, 2026, the District Court granted the SEC's motion and entered a modified final judgment that permanently enjoined Amah from violating the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, ordered Amah to disgorge $10,000.00 in ill-gotten gains, with $1,617.82 in prejudgment interest thereon, and ordered him to pay a civil penalty of $446,458.00.
The SEC's case was handled by Derek Bentsen, Timothy Work, Eric Berelovich, James Connor, James Carlson, George Bagnall, and Stacy Bogert.

On August 25, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a settled action alleging that Mayur Baviskar, of Morrisville, North Carolina, engaged in a fraudulent "free-riding" scheme through which he withdrew $6,078.16 in trading profits that he made from purchasing and selling over $1.4 million in securities without having sufficient funds to pay for the trades.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release:

Securities and Exchange Commission v. Mayur Baviskar, No. 5:26-CV-00600-BO (E.D.N.C. filed Aug. 25, 2026)
On August 25, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a settled action alleging that Mayur Baviskar, of Morrisville, North Carolina, engaged in a fraudulent "free-riding" scheme through which he withdrew $6,078.16 in trading profits that he made from purchasing and selling over $1.4 million in securities without having sufficient funds to pay for the trades.
The SEC'scomplaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, alleged that between March 2019 and September 2024, Baviskar initiated $377,200 of unfunded deposits into brokerage accounts at nine different broker-dealers exploiting the instant credit extended by these broker-dealers pending the completion of supposedly incoming deposits to Baviskar's brokerage accounts. As alleged, Baviskar knowingly initiated transfers from bank accounts that lacked sufficient funds to cover the deposits, and placed stop-payment orders on transfers drawn against bank accounts that had sufficient funds. According to the complaint, the broker-dealers would not have extended instant deposit credit to Baviskar, or allowed him to conduct trades in the brokerage accounts, if they knew that his bank transfers would be reversed. Ultimately, as alleged, the deposits were reversed when the broker-dealers rejected them for insufficient funds or when Baviskar placed stop-payment orders.
Without admitting the allegations in the SEC's complaint, Baviskar consented to the entry of a final judgment, subject to court approval, which would permanently enjoin him from violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The final judgment, if approved by the court, also would impose a conduct-based injunction against Baviskar, and order him to pay disgorgement of $6,078.16, prejudgment interest of $1,914.41, and a civil penalty of $50,000.00.
The investigation was conducted by Mark Eric Harrison under the supervision of Thomas B. Bosch and Justin Jeffries, with assistance from trial counsel Robert Schroeder under the supervision of M. Graham Loomis, all of the SEC's Atlanta Regional Office.

* * *
Securities and Exchange Commission v. GenesisAI Corp. and Archil Cheishvili, No. 1:26-cv-25837-RKA (S.D. Fla. filed Aug. 26, 2026)
On August 26, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed settled charges against GenesisAI Corp., an artificial intelligence start-up company formerly based in Miami, Florida, and Archil Cheishvili, its founder and former CEO, in connection with alleged misrepresentations concerning the company's projected revenue, current valuation, and existingcustomer demand.
According to the SEC's complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, from December 2019 through December 2024, the Defendants raised more than $5.3 million from more than 4,000 investors in a series of Regulation Crowdfunding and Regulation A offerings promoting GenesisAI's marketplace for AI products, while negligently misrepresenting the company's financial prospects and the viability of its purported marketplace for AI models. As further alleged, the Defendants solicited investments using projections of substantial revenue in 2020 that rose as high as $250 million by 2024, current valuations that steadily increased until reaching more than $200 million in 2022, and claims that GenesisAI had as many as 25 "partnerships" and a waitlist of potential customers. As alleged, however, Defendants should have known - but failed to disclose - the that the company's revenue projections lacked any reasonable basis because, among other things, the GenesisAI's marketplace remained in a testing phase until 2022 and was never commercially viable, the company's valuations were based on Cheishvili's subjective estimations, the purported "partnerships" were not enforceable, and no actual customer waitlist existed.
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 Cheishvili to pay disgorgement of $50,000 plus prejudgment interest of $9,184.53, and a civil penalty of $50,000.
The SEC's investigation was conducted by Eric E. Morales and Fernando Torres, with assistance from Russell Koonin, and supervised by Thierry Olivier Desmet and Stephanie N. Moot of the SEC's Miami Regional Office. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
