8. From July 19, 2010 to November 2011, the Enforcement Section interviewed and received documents from a forty-three (43) year-old Saint Peters, Missouri resident (“MR”). A review of this information revealed, among other things, that:

   1. in September 2009, MR learned of an investment opportunity with Patrick. MR contacted Patrick via both telephone and email. Patrick told MR, among other things, the following:

      1. the investment was in a residual income program (“Residual Income Program”);

   5. on October 14, 2009, Patrick told MR that MR’s funds were invested in Mona Vie, a multi-level marketing company that sold nutritional products;

   6. on October 15, 2009, MR demanded that Patrick return MR’s invested funds;

   7. on October 15, 2009, Patrick emailed MR and stated, among other things, that:

      1. the investment in Mona Vie would make thirty-five to fifty percent (35-50%) return in the first month; and

      2. “You don’t have to sell . . . . I have a network of 10,000 strong;”

   5. Patrick was a distributor with Mona Vie and was paid commissions on sales Patrick made through Mona Vie;

   6. Patrick created the contract MR signed by using parts of Mona Vie’s contract;

10. On March 26, 2012, Mona Vie provided information to the Enforcement Section regarding sales by Patrick. A review of Mona Vie’s response revealed, among other things, that after MR’s investment Patrick’s purchases at Mona Vie totaled less than one hundred and twenty thousand dollars ($120,000). ¹

III.     CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

Multiple Violations of Offering and Selling Unregistered, Non-Exempt Securities

26. Paragraphs 1 through 25 are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

27. Respondent Section 8 and Respondent Patrick offered and sold a security as those terms are defined in Sections 409.1-102(26) and (28), RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011).

28. An "investment contract" is enumerated in the list of items that are securities in Section 409.1-102(28), RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011). The investments Respondents offered and sold to MR are investment contracts, in that:

    1. MR invested funds in the Residual Income Program through Section 8;

    2. MR's funds were to be used by Section 8 and Patrick to earn profits each week;

    3. MR expected a profit from the activities of Section 8 and Patrick; and

    4. MR’s expected profits were interwoven with and dependent upon the efforts of Section 8 and Patrick.

29. A check of the records maintained by the Commissioner indicates that at all times relevant to this matter, there was no registration, granted exemption, or notice filing indicating status as a “federal covered security” for the securities offered and sold by Respondent Section 8 and Respondent Patrick.

30. Respondent Section 8 and Respondent Patrick violated Section 409.3-301, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011), when they offered and sold securities in Missouri without these securities being (1) a federal covered security, (2) exempt from registration under Sections 409.2-201 or 409.2-203, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011), or (3) registered under the Missouri Securities Act of 2003.

31. Respondent Section 8 and Respondent Patrick’s actions in offering and selling unregistered securities constitutes illegal acts, practices, or courses of business and thus such actions are subject to the Commissioner’s authority under Section 409.6-604, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011).

32. Respondent JAG materially aided the acts, practices, or courses of business of Respondent Section 8 and Respondent Patrick which constituted violations of Section 409.3-301, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011), by among other things, the following:

    1. allowing Patrick and Section 8 to use the JAG Account for the receipt of MR’s investment funds; and/or

    2. allowing Patrick and Section 8 to distribute a portion of MR’s invested funds in the Residual Income Program to Mona Vie.

33. Respondent JAG violated Section 409.3-301, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011), by materially aiding Respondent Section 8 and Respondent Patrick in their violations of the same Section as described in paragraphs 27 – 30, above.

34. Respondent JAG’s actions in materially aiding Respondent Section 8’s and Respondent Patrick’s actions in offering and selling unregistered securities constitute an illegal act, practice, or course of business and thus such actions are subject to the Commissioner’s authority under Section 409.6-604, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011).

Transacting Business as an Unregistered Agent

35. Paragraphs 1 through 25 are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

36. A check of the records maintained by the Commissioner indicates that at all times relevant to this matter, Respondent Patrick was not registered as a securities agent in the State of Missouri.

37. Respondent Patrick violated Section 409.4-402(a), RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011), when he offered and/or sold securities to an investor in Missouri without being registered or exempt from registration as an agent.

38. Respondent Patrick’s actions in transacting business as an unregistered agent constitute an illegal act, practice, or course of business and thus such actions are subject to the Commissioner’s authority under Section 409.6-604, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011).

Employing an Unregistered Agent

39. Paragraphs 1 through 25 are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

40. Respondent Section 8 employed Respondent Patrick who transacted business in the Residual Income Program on behalf of Respondent Section 8. These activities constitute transacting business in the State of Missouri.

41. A check of the records maintained by the Commissioner indicates that at all times relevant to this matter, Respondent Section 8 had no registration or granted exemption for any agents of Respondent Section 8 to transact business in the State of Missouri.

42. Respondent Section 8 violated Section 409.4-402(d), RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011), when Respondent Section 8 employed an unregistered agent who transacted business in the State of Missouri.

43. Respondent Section 8’s action of employing an unregistered agent who transacted business in this state constitutes an illegal act, practice, or course of business and thus such action is therefore subject to the commissioner’s authority under Section 409.6-604, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011).

Multiple Violations of Making an Untrue Statement, or Omitting to State Material Facts in Connection with the Offer or Sale of a Security

44. Paragraphs 1 through 25 are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

45. In connection with the offer, sale or purchase of a security, Respondent Section 8 and Respondent Patrick omitted to state material facts necessary in order to make statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, including, but not limited to:

    1. that Patrick was not registered to offer or sell securities in the State of Missouri;

    2. that the securities offered and/or sold were not registered;

    3. that there were risks associated with the investment in the Residual Income Program;

    6. financial information to support the claim that MR would make between thirty-five to fifty percent (35-50%) return in the first month through the investment.

46. In connection with the offer, sale or purchase of a security, Respondent Section 8 and Respondent Patrick made untrue statements of material fact including, but not limited to, that:

    1. MR could withdraw MR’s funds at any time; and/or

    2. there were other investors in the Residual Income Program;

47. Respondent Section 8 and Respondent Patrick violated Section 409.5-501, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011), when they made untrue statements or omitted to state material facts necessary in order to make statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

48. The actions of Respondent Section 8 and Respondent Patrick in making untrue statements or omitting to state material facts constitute illegal acts, practices, or courses of business and thus such actions are subject to the Commissioner’s authority under Section 409.6-604, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011).

49. This order is in the public interest and is consistent with the purposes of the Missouri Securities Act of 2003. See Section 409.6-605(b), RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2011).
