SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 15818 /July 21, 1998 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. BOND DELLAPP FLETCHER AND MEDIAJET, INC. (United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Civ. No. 97-12443-PBS) The Commission announced that Judge Patti B. Saris issued a judgment permanently enjoining Bond Dellapp Fletcher ("Fletcher") and Mediajet, Inc. ("Mediajet") from future violations of certain antifraud, reporting and bookkeeping provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and ordering Fletcher to pay disgorgement of $7,024,184, plus prejudgment interest thereon. Under the terms of the settlement, Fletcher will pay approximately $3 million and the remainder will be waived based on his demonstrated inability to pay. Fletcher and Mediajet consented, without admitting or denying the allegations in the Complaint, to the entry of the final judgments. The Commission's Complaint, filed on October 30, 1997, alleged that Fletcher, the owner and president of Mediajet, aided and abetted the financial fraud conducted by Emanuel Pinez ("Pinez") and Centennial Technologies, Inc. ("Centennial"). Mediajet, located in Beverly, Massachusetts, is a manufacturer of font cartridges for laser printers. According to the Complaint, Pinez and Centennial engaged in a fraudulent scheme to defraud investors in Centennial stock by falsely overstating the company's revenues and profits. The Complaint alleged that Defendants Fletcher and Mediajet aided and abetted the scheme by, among other things, fabricating fictitious purchase orders, signing backdated sales orders falsely acknowledging receipt of products from Centennial, accepting shipment of mock and/or obsolete computer equipment, and using Centennial's funds to purchase treasurers checks, payable to Centennial, on behalf of purported Centennial customers. For example, in January 1997, Fletcher, at Pinez's request, signed and backdated fictitious Centennial sales orders totaling $1,250,000. Fletcher, according to the Complaint, was acknowledging receipt of Centennial products for Mediajet and two other Centennial customers, when, in fact, the only "goods" shipped were holiday fruit baskets. Fletcher was enjoined from further violations of Sections 10(b), 13(a), and 13(b)(2)(A) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5, 13a-1, 13a-13, 13b2-1, and 12b-20.
