U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 21863 / February 22, 2011
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Greenstone Holdings, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 10-cv-1302 (S.D.N.Y.)
SEC Charges Attorney with Fraud for Issuing False Legal Opinion in Connection with Illegal Stock Offering
On February 10, 2011, the Commission amended its complaint in SEC v. Greenstone Holdings, Inc., et al., 10 civ. 1302 (S.D.N.Y.), to add as a defendant Virginia K. Sourlis, a securities lawyer. According to the amended complaint, in early 2006, Sourlis intentionally authored a materially false and misleading legal opinion, which Greenstone used to illegally issue millions of shares of stock in unregistered transactions. Among other things, Sourlis falsely described promissory notes, note holders, and communications with those holders, none of which actually existed. The SEC alleges that, contrary to Sourlis’ fraudulent opinion letter, the stock issuance did not qualify for an exemption from registration under the federal securities laws.
The amended complaint alleges that Sourlis violated Sections 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act” ) and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ( “Exchange Act” ) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and aided and abetted defendant Greenstone’s violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The SEC seeks injunctive relief and financial penalties, disgorgement, and a penny stock bar from Sourlis.

B. Virginia Sourlis January 11,2006 Opinion Letter
41. In or about January 2006 --originally as part of the plan to illegally issue the 12.3 million Greenstone shares discussed above --defendants Pierson and Starczewski retained defendant Virginia K. Sourlis to write an opinion letter concerning Greenstone's ability (and Greenstone's transfer agent's ability) to issue certain unrestricted shares of Greenstone stock to Power Network, MBA Investors, Starr Consulting, and YT2K, Inc. (the "Entities"), based on the conversion of certain alleged promissory "notes" in the total principal amount of $71,339.65.
42. On or about January 11,2006, Sourlis provided Pierson and Starczewski with the requested opinion letter, authored and signed by Sourlis (the "Sourlis Opinion"). The Sourlis Opinion falsely concluded and opined that "the Shares underlying the Note may be issued to [the Entities] and/or its designees without a legend pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended" (emphasis in original). This conclusion was predicated upon the following materially false and misleading statements.
43. In an attempt to establish that the securities at issue had been held for two years, the Sourlis Opinion falsely stated that the alleged convertible notes originally "were issued by [Auto Centrix] to various vendors on or before January 10,2004," in exchange for $71,339.65 in outstanding "payables" to those vendors for corporate expenses incurred originally by Auto Centrix, including, for example, outstanding payables to "American Express" and "Verizon.,; In fact, Auto Centrix never issued any such notes to "vendors."
50. Pierson and/or Starczewski paid Sourlis at least $5,000 for the Sourlis Opinion.
