SEC NEWS DIGEST Issue 2002-197 October 10, 2002 COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS COMMISSION MEETINGS CHANGE IN THE MEETING: ADDITIONAL ITEM The following item has been added to the closed meeting scheduled for Thursday, October 10, 2002 at 2:30 p.m.: Regulatory matter ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS COMMISSION REVOKES REGISTRATION OF SECURITIES OF LAS VEGAS ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK, INC. On October 9, the Commission revoked the registration of the securities of Las Vegas Entertainment Network, Inc. (Las Vegas Entertainment), a Los Angeles, California gaming company. Las Vegas Entertainment consented to the entry of the Commission's Order Instituting Proceeding, Making Findings And Revoking Registration Of Common Stock Pursuant To Section 12(j) Of The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934 (Order) without admitting or denying its findings. In the Order, the Commission found that Las Vegas Entertainment failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a- 13 thereunder because it had not filed annual reports on Form 10K-SB and quarterly reports on Form 10Q-SB for any fiscal period subsequent to its fiscal quarter ended July 31, 1999. The Commission further found that Las Vegas Entertainment failed to comply with Sections 10(b) and 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, and 13a-13 in its quarterly reports on Form 10Q-SB for the second and third quarters of its fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, in that Las Vegas Entertainment materially misrepresented its financial position. In its April and July 1999 quarterly reports, Las Vegas Entertainment included as a $3.5 million asset its marketing rights relating to a hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, even though those rights had expired. In its July 1999 quarterly report, Las Vegas Entertainment reported a $3 million phony gold certificate on its balance sheet. Therefore, pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act, the Commission revoked the registration of Las Vegas Entertainment's common stock. (Rel. 34-46626; File No. 3-10914) SEC CHARGES GAMING COMPANY WITH FINANCIAL FRAUD On October 9, the Commission filed and settled charges against Las Vegas Entertainment Network, Inc. and its CEO and CFO for fraudulently overstating its assets. The Commission's complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, alleges that the Los Angeles-based company, and two executives -- CEO Joseph A. Corazzi, 52, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and CFO Carl A. Sambus, 51, of Garden City, New York -- made false statements about certain assets in its 1999 filings with the Commission. For instance, the company stated that it had a $3 million "gold certificate," when in fact the certificate was counterfeit. Additionally, the Commission filed and settled anti- touting charges against Las Vegas Entertainment's investor relations consultant Jay I. Goldberg, 71, of Las Vegas, Nevada. The complaint alleges that Goldberg hyped or "touted" Las Vegas Entertainment's stock on the Internet in September and October 1999 without disclosing that he had previously received 85,000 company shares as compensation. In a related administrative proceeding, the Commission revoked the registration of Las Vegas Entertainment's common stock, finding that the company had fraudulently overstated its assets and had failed to file reports with the Commission since the quarterly report filed on September 24, 1999. The company consented to the entry of the Commission order without admitting or denying its findings. Las Vegas Entertainment trades on the over-the-counter market (symbol: LVEN.PK) and claims to be in the gaming industry. Previously, the Commission suspended the trading of Las Vegas Entertainment's stock in October 1999. In addition to the counterfeit gold certificate listed on its balance sheet, the complaint alleges that Las Vegas Entertainment falsely reported that it had $3.5 million worth of "marketing rights" for the El Rancho Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada when in fact those rights had expired. The expired rights and counterfeit gold comprised virtually all of the company's assets in 1999. Also, the company stated that it had received a $190 million cash investment and then made a tender offer in October 1999 for an NYSE-listed gaming company. The cash investment, however, was based on counterfeit Indonesian bank guarantees and the tender offer was therefore fraudulent and subsequently withdrawn. The complaint charges Las Vegas Entertainment, Corazzi and Sambus with violating the antifraud provisions (Sections 10(b) and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5 and 14a-9 thereunder) and reporting provisions (Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20 and 13a-13 thereunder), and Goldberg with violating the anti- touting provision (Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933), of the federal securities laws. Simultaneously, all of the defendants settled the Commission's action without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint. All agreed not to commit future violations of the charged federal securities laws. In addition, Corazzi and Sambus agreed to be barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company. Finally, Corazzi, Sambus and Goldberg agreed to pay civil penalties in the amounts of $75,000, $25,000, and $10,000, respectively. [SEC v. Las Vegas Entertainment Network, Inc., Joseph A. Corazzi, Carl A. Sambus, and Jay I. Goldberg, Civil Action No. CV 02-7852-JFW (FMOx) (CD Cal.)] (LR-17779; AAE Rel. 1647) COURT ENTERS CONTEMPT FINDINGS AGAINST TWO DEFENDANTS WHO VIOLATED ASSET FREEZE ORDER IN OFFERING FRAUD LAWSUIT On September 30, 2002, the Honorable James H. Michael, Jr., Senior U. S. District Judge for the Western District of Virginia, Charlottesville Division, entered orders finding Kenneth G. Mason and Birgit Mechlenburg in civil contempt for violating the accounting and asset freeze provisions contained in a temporary restraining order (TRO), and extended in subsequent orders, that the court had entered on November 19, 2001 in connection with the SEC's lawsuit against Mechlenburg, Mason and others. The lawsuit stems from a massive international Ponzi scheme orchestrated by Terry L. Dowdell, in which Dowdell, utilizing various marketers, raised more than $70 million from investors in the U.S. and abroad for a fictitious trading program purportedly involving the purchase and sale of foreign bank instruments and purportedly being operated by Vavasseur Corporation, a Bahamian corporation that is also named as a defendant in this action. Dowdell previously admitted the fraud, and consented to the disgorgement of all of his assets. According to the SEC's complaint, Mason and Mechlenburg were marketers for the program, and received hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions in connection with their introduction of investors into the program. The contempt motion against Mason arose from his omission of a bank account containing approximately $27,000 from an accounting he submitted to the Court in November, in violation of accounting requirements contained in the TRO, and his dissipation of those funds without the knowledge or permission of the court, in violation of the asset freeze requirements of the TRO. The ruling came after an evidentiary hearing was held on the matter. This is the second time that the Court has held Mason in contempt. It previously found Mason in contempt on March 14, 2002 for transferring $5,000 out of one of his accounts on the day that he learned of the TRO. The contempt motion against Mechlenburg arose from her transfer of all of her assets overseas in violations of the asset freeze and repatriation provisions of the TRO. The SEC learned of this transfer from a neighbor of Mechlenburg, who reported in July 2002 that two gentleman were loading the contents of Ms. Mechlenburg's rented home into a large industrial shipping container. The shipping container was shipped out of the country before the SEC could obtain an order preventing its removal. Mechlenburg had previously moved to an undisclosed location in Europe shortly after the Court entered a permanent injunction against Dowdell. Mechlenburg failed to appear at the contempt hearing, and her whereabouts are currently unknown.

[SEC v. Terry L. Dowdell, et al., Civil Action No. 3:01CV00116 (W.D. Virginia), (Honorable James H. Michael, Jr.)] (LR-17780) SEC RESOLVES CONTEMPT MOTION AGAINST VARIOUS DEFENDANTS, OBTAINS $1 MILLION DISGORGEMENT ORDER AGAINST RELIEF DEFENDANT The Commission today announced that it had resolved two contempt motions that it had filed against Terry Dowdell, various of his family members, and a family-owned auto repair business on February 7, 2002 and April 5, 2002 in a lawsuit pending before the Honorable James H. Michael, Jr., Senior U. S. District Judge for the Western District of Virginia, Charlottesville Division. The lawsuit stems from a massive international Ponzi scheme orchestrated by Terry L. Dowdell, in which Dowdell, utilizing various marketers, raised more than $70 million from investors in the U.S. and abroad for a fictitious trading program purportedly involving the purchase and sale of foreign bank instruments and purportedly being operated by Vavasseur Corporation, a Bahamian corporation that is also named as a defendant in this action. Dowdell previously admitted the fraud, and consented to the disgorgement of all of his assets. Dowdell's family members, including his wife Mary Dowdell, and his children Adam Dowdell and Rebecca Dowdell are named as relief defendants in this lawsuit. The SEC alleges that Dowdell diverted some of the investors' funds to them. The family-owned business, Authorized Auto Service, Inc., is also named as a relief defendant in this suit. The SEC alleges that Dowdell set up Authorized Auto for his children and funded it with $1 million of investor money. The contempt motion related to the transfer of $500,000 of investor funds to an account in the name of Authorized Auto in violation of an asset freeze order that the Court entered on November 19, 2001. The SEC's motion alleged that Dowdell and his family members made this transfer on the day after Dowdell received notice of the asset freeze order. According to the motion, Authorized Auto proceeded to spend virtually the entire $500,000 on start-up costs prior to the SEC's discovery of the unlawful transfer. The company, which operates an auto repair shop in Charlottesville, Virginia, opened for business in January 2002. In lieu of hearing on the SEC's contempt motion, the parties reached a settlement, in which Authorized Auto consented to the entry of an order, entered by the Court on September 12, 2002, requiring it to disgorge the entire $1 million that Dowdell transferred to the company, plus prejudgment interest. Authorized Auto also agreed to the appointment of a Receiver over all of its assets, in order to facilitate the liquidation of the company's assets.

[SEC v. Terry L. Dowdell, et al., Civil Action No. 3:01CV00116 (W.D. Virginia), (Honorable James H. Michael, Jr.)] (LR-17781) THE COMMISSION FILES ACCOUNTING FRAUD ACTION AGAINST LERNOUT & HAUSPIE SPEECH PRODUCTS Today the Commission announced the filing of an action in United States District Court for the District of Columbia against Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products, N.V., a developer of speech and language technologies, headquartered in Ieper, Belgium and Burlington, Massachusetts. The complaint alleges that, from 1996 through the second quarter of 2000, while its common stock was listed on the Nasdaq National Market System and Nasdaq Europe, Lernout & Hauspie engaged in a variety of fraudulent schemes to inflate its reported revenue and income. The result was an international financial scandal, the destruction of Lernout & Hauspie as an operating company, and a loss of at least $8.6 billion dollars in market capitalization, borne by investors in Belgium, the United States and elsewhere. In its action, the Commission seeks an injunction against future violations of the anti-fraud and other provisions of the federal securities laws by Lernout & Hauspie. According to the Commission's complaint: * Between 1996 and 1999, Lernout & Hauspie improperly recorded over $60 million in revenue from transactions with two newly-formed Belgian companies, contrived to allow Lernout & Hauspie to claim revenue from its research and development activities. Lernout & Hauspie subsequently acquired both of the purported customers on terms that repaid the amounts they had previously paid to Lernout & Hauspie, plus a substantial profit. Because the transactions were, in substance, disguised loans and not sales or service transactions, Lernout & Hauspie should not have recognized revenue from them. * In late 1998 Lernout & Hauspie launched a new and elaborate fraudulent scheme to, in essence, create additional customers. These new customers, dubbed "Language Development Companies," enabled Lernout & Hauspie to claim revenue of $102 million in license fees and $8.5 million in prepaid royalties in 1998 and 1999, giving the false impression of exponential growth. In actuality, the Language Development Companies were little more than shell companies created as a means for Lernout & Hauspie to improperly fabricate revenue. * From September 1999 to June 2000, L&H reported approximately $175 million in sales revenue from its Korean operations. The majority of this revenue was fraudulent because L&H Korea: (1) entered into oral and written side agreements with customers freeing them from any definite payment obligation; (2) masked the uncollectibility of receivables from some of these fraudulent sales by factoring the receivables to Korean banks subject to side agreements that protected the banks from any risk of non-collection; and (3) secretly arranged to fund the pay-down of receivables from other bogus sales. * During the last quarter of 2000, as information about the company's financial fraud became public through the press, the price of Lernout & Hauspie stock declined dramatically, falling from a high of $72.50 in March 2000 to $.76 on December 29, 2000. Having been de-listed from Nasdaq and Nasdaq Europe, Lernout & Hauspie common stock is currently quoted on the "Pink Sheets." Lernout & Hauspie is presently in insolvency proceedings in the U.S. and Belgium. The Commission's investigation is ongoing with respect to other persons and entities. [SEC v.
