Yeah from what I can see even this Bethke was guilty of theft, embezzlement, fraud, forgery, securities violations, and probably a string of other charges. But all he got was basically a slap on the wrist. Sure not what I would call justice.
Without admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission’s complaint, Bethke consented to a final judgment enjoining him from violations of 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; barring him from serving as an officer or director of a public company; barring him from participating in the offering or sale of a penny stock; and ordering disgorgement plus prejudgment interest, but waiving payment and not imposing a civil penalty based on Bethke’s financial condition. The judgment is subject to court approval. Bethke also consented, with respect to a related SEC administrative proceeding, to the entry of an SEC order barring him from association with any investment adviser, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical organization.
