SEC Charges Canadian Public Company and Its CEO in Fraudulent Microcap Scheme
Litigation Release No. 25430 / June 27, 2022
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Moynes, et al.; Civil Action No. 1:22-cv-11006 (D. Mass. filed June 27, 2022)
The Securities and Exchange Commission charged Canadian citizen Bradley Moynes and Canadian corporation Digatrade Financial Corp. for engaging in a deceptive scheme involving microcap companies that generated more than $1.5 million in unlawful stock sale proceeds at the expense of unsuspecting retail investors.
The SEC's complaint alleges that Moynes was the President, CEO and Director of two small and thinly traded companies, Formcap Corporation and Digatrade, whose stock was publicly traded in the U.S. securities markets. According to the complaint, Moynes used foreign nominee companies to hold stock in these microcap companies, thus concealing his ownership. The complaint alleges that he and his associates generated demand for his stock by paying promoters to tout the stock and then secretly sold his stock into that demand, generating substantial illicit profits from unsuspecting investors.
Moynes allegedly violated the U.S. securities laws because he defrauded investors by concealing information about his ownership and control over the stock he was selling. Moynes allegedly signed numerous filings with the SEC that contained misstatements about his ownership of Digatrade shares. Moynes allegedly misled investors, brokers, and transfer agents (companies that maintain records of stock ownership) in order to convince these parties that his stock shares were eligible for trading in the public markets. The complaint alleges that, as a result of Moynes' deceptive conduct, investors buying the stock he sold were deprived of important information-that the stock they purchased was being dumped by the President and majority shareholder of the company.
The SEC's complaint, filed in the United States District Court for District of Massachusetts, charges Moynes and Digatrade with violating Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The SEC seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement jointly and severally of allegedly ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest, civil penalties and a penny stock bar against the Defendants. The complaint also seeks an officer-and-director bar against Moynes. The complaint additionally charges Vancap Ventures, Inc., a Canadian company that Moynes owned, as a relief defendant because it allegedly received illicit proceeds from Moynes' fraudulent scheme, and the SEC seeks disgorgement of those proceeds.
The SEC's case was investigated by Trevor T. Donelan, Jennifer Cardello, Robert Baker, and Kathleen Shields in the Boston Regional Office, with the assistance of Marlee Miller and Owen Granke of the SEC's Office of International Affairs. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Panama Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores, the Curaçao Korps Landelijke Politiediensten, the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, the Latvia Financial and Capital Market Commission, the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority, the Malta Financial Services Authority, the Mauritius Financial Services Commission, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, the United Arab Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority, the Dubai Financial Services Authority, and the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority.

Sorry to hear that. Not sure there is much you can do. If I were you, I would do two things; never under any circumstances place a market order, and find another broker. Don't take this the wrong way but although it's your fault, that trade seems very shady. This is a stock most brokers will not trade and will probably be delisted very soon, so no legitimate broker would allow a trade to go through @ 500000 percent of current price. Having said that, a broker is not responsible for bad trading decisions. I can't see level 2 on this stock, could you? Or could you at least see an ask price?

I made the purchase and was royally screwed over. I don't have a margin account with Schwab, I did a market order for 1000 shares when it was .0002¢ and it was authorized at $1.99/share.
What should have cost me .20¢ ended up costing $1,989, I only had .25¢ cash in my account and $140 in assets.
My account is now -$1,989 and Schwab customer service said there was nothing they could do because sometimes sales go through even without a margin account, there's a fine print warning about it.
Any advice would be appreciated and possibly compensated.

Possibly what may be in play here is a Custodianship play? From nosing around a little bit, apparently Richard Tang acquires a shell in this manner, cleans them up, and sells them for a reverse merger.
FYI-What is a Custodianship?
There are literally thousands of penny stocks that are publicly traded. It isn’t uncommon for some of those stocks to get abandoned by their control people for a variety of different reasons. When a publicly traded company gets abandoned it doesn’t just stop publicly trading. The abandoned shell will continue to trade until the day that the SEC files an administrative order to revoke the Issuers registration (for SEC filers) or until FINRA deletes the symbol (for non-SEC filers). That can often mean years of trading as nothing but a zombie ticker.
As abandoned shells, the public Issuers will fall behind with their business license at the state level (since nobody is around to pay the annual fees due to the Secretary of State). When two years pass without an entity paying its business taxes at the state level, the entity becomes revoked. This opens the door for control of the public Issuer to be taken over by an interested party (a shareholder or debt holder for example) through a custodianship petition.

Marine Automation
We are experienced in marine mechanical automation and implementing control logic for marine usage. Marine applications are different than most as one needs to take into account amperage and voltage regulation issues and ground/groundless contacts, which need to be addressed in the control logic.
We have performed work as subcontractors for the BC Ferries on vessels that need to be recommissioned after retrofits. We have been subcontracting for BC Ferries since 2006.
We have designed, programmed, installed, and did final testing and commissioning of our proprietary control systems which monitor and manage their HVAC systems on their large C-Class passenger vessels.
On such large ships our systems read environment fluctuations thousands of times per second and our logic controllers actuate fire dampers, air dampers, valves, and compressors all real time. It optimizes the usage of compressor output and to use as much “green” cooling from fresh air cooling.
