civil penalty amount is based on Defendant's sworn representations in his Statement of Financial
4

Condition dated January 28, 2021 and other documents and information submitted to the
Commission, as described further in paragraph VII below. Defendant shall satisfy this obligation
by pa
ying $20,000 to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the terms of the
payment schedule set forth in paragraph VI below after entry of this Final Judgment.
Defendant may transmit payment electronically to the Commission, which wi ll provide
detailed ACH transfer/Fedwire instructions upon request.
Payment may also be made directly
fro
m a bank account via Pay.gov through the SEC website at
http://www.sec.gov/about/offices/ofm.htm.
Defendant may also pay by certified check, bank
cashier's check, or United States postal money order payable to the Securities and Exchange

Enterprise Services Center
Accounts Receivable Branch
6500 South MacArthur Boulevard
Oklahoma City, OK 73169
and shall be accompanied by a letter identifying the case title, civil action number, and name of
this Court; Luckhoo-Bouch as a defendant in this action; and specifying that payment is made
pursuant to this Final Judgment.
Defendant shall simultaneously transmit photocopies of evidence of payment and case
identifying information to the Commission's counsel in this action. By making this payment,
Defendant relinquishes all legal and equitable right, title, and interest in such funds and no part
of the funds shall be returned to Defendant.
The Commission may enforce the Court's judgment for penalties by the use of all
collection procedures authorized by law, including the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act,
28 U.S.C. §3001 et seq., and moving for civil contempt for the violation of any Court orders
issued in this action.
Defendant shall pay post judgment interest on any amounts due after 30
5

days of the entry of this Final Judgment pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1961. The Commission shall

pending further order of the Court.
The Commission may propose a plan to distribute the Fund subject to the Court's

provisions of Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Court shall retain
jurisdiction over the administration of any dis tribution of the Fund and the Fund may only be
disbursed pursuant t
o an  Order of the Court.
R
egardless of whether any such Fair Fund distribution is made, amounts ordered to be
paid as civil penalties pursuant to th is Judgment shall be treated as penalties paid to th e
government for all purposes, including all tax purposes. To preserve the deterrent effect of the
civil penalty, Defendant shall not, after offset or reduction of any award of compensatory
damages in any Related Investor Action based on Defendant's payment of disgorgement in this
action, argue that he is entitled to, nor shall he further benefit by, offset or reduction of such
compe
nsatory damages award by the amount of any part of Defendant's payment of a civil
penalty in this action ("Penalty Offset"). If the court in any Related Investor Action grants such
a Penalty Offset, Defendant shall, within 30 days after entry of a final order granting the Penalty
Offset, notify the Commission's counsel in this action and pay the amount of the Penalty Offset
to the United States Treasury or to a  Fair Fund, as the Commission directs.  Such a payment shall
not be deemed an additional civil penalty and shall not be deemed to change the amount of the
c
ivil penalty imposed in this Judgment.  For purposes of this paragraph, a "Related Investor
Action" means a private damages action brought against Defendant by or on behalf of one or
m
ore investors based on substantially the same facts as alleged in the Complaint in this action.

VI.
D

on any unpaid amounts due after 30 days of the entry of Final Judgment.  Prior to making the
fi
nal payment set forth herein, Luckhoo-Bouch shall contact the staff of the Commission for the
amount due for the final payment.
IfLuckhoo-Bouch fails to make any payment by the date agreed and/or in the amount
agreed according to the schedule set forth above, all outstanding payments under this Final
Judgment, including post-judgment interest, minus any payments made, shal l become due and
payable immediately at the discretion of the staff of the Commission without further application
to the Court.
VII.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER O  RDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the
d
etermination to seek a $20,000 civil penalty is contingent upon the accuracy and completeness
o
f Defendant's Statement of Financial Condition.  If at any time following the entry of this Final
Judgment the Commission obtains information indicating that Defendant's representations to the
Commission concerning his assets, income, liabilities, or net worth were fraudulent, misleading,
i
naccurate, or incomplete in any material respect as of the time such representations were made,
7

the Commission may, at its sole discretion and without prior notice to Defendant, petition the
Court for an order requiring Defendant to pay the unpaid portion of the maximum civil penalty
allowable under the law.  In connection with any such petition, the only issue shall be whether
the financial information provided by Defendant was fraudulent, misleading, inaccurate, or
incomplete in a
ny material respect as of the time such representations were made.  In its petition,
the Commission may move this Court to consider all available remedies, including, but not
limited to, ordering Defendant to pay funds or assets, directing the forfeiture of any assets, or
sanctions for contempt of this Final Judgment. The Commission may also request additional
discovery. Defendant ma
y not, by way of defense to such petition:  (1) challenge the validity of
the Consent o
r this Final Judgment; (2) contest the allegations in the  Complaint filed by the
Commission; (3) assert that payment of a civil penalty should not be ordered; ( 4) contest the
imposition of the maximum civil penalty allowable under the law; or (5) assert any defense to
liability o
r remedy, including, but not limited to, any statute of limitations defense. Defendant
shall also pay post-judgment interest on any delinquent amounts pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1961.
VIII.
IT IS FU
RTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the Consent is
inc
orporated herein with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein, and that Defendant
shall comply with all of   the undertakings and agreements set forth therein.

8

disgorgement, prejudgment interest, civil penalty or other amounts due by Defendant under this
Final Judgment or any other judgment, order, consent order, decree or settlement agreement
e
ntered in connection with this proceeding, is a debt for the  violation by Defendant of the federal

Condition dated January 28, 2021 and other documents and information submitted to the 

Commission, as described further in paragraph VII below. Defendant shall satisfy this obligation 

by paying $20,000 to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the terms of the 

payment schedule set forth in paragraph VI below after entry of this Final Judgment. 

Defendant may transmit payment electronically to the Commission, which will provide 

detailed ACH transfer/Fedwire instructions upon request. Payment may also be made directly 

from a bank account via Pay.gov through the SEC website at 

http://www.sec.gov/about/offices/ofm.htm. Defendant may also pay by certified check, bank 

cashier's check, or United States postal money order payable to the Securities and Exchange 

Commission, which shall be delivered or mailed to 

Enterprise Services Center 
Accounts Receivable Branch 
6500 South MacArthur Boulevard 
Oklahoma City, OK 73169 

and shall be accompanied by a letter identifying the case title, civil action number, and name of 

this Court; Luckhoo-Bouch as a defendant in this action; and specifying that payment is made 

pursuant to this Final Judgment. 

Defendant shall simultaneously transmit photocopies of evidence of payment and case 

identifying information to the Commission's counsel in this action. By making this payment, 

Defendant relinquishes all legal and equitable right, title, and interest in such funds and no part 

of the funds shall be returned to Defendant. 

The Commission may enforce the Court's judgment for penalties by the use of all 

collection procedures authorized by law, including the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act, 

28 U.S.C. §3001 et seq., and moving for civil contempt for the violation of any Court orders 

issued in this action. Defendant shall pay post judgment interest on any amounts due after 30 

5 

Case 1:20-cv-11092-FDS   Document 71   Filed 05/26/21   Page 5 of 9



days of the entry of this Final Judgment pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1961. The Commission shall 

hold the funds, together with any interest and income earned thereon ( collectively, the "Fund"), 

pending further order of the Court. 

The Commission may propose a plan to distribute the Fund subject to the Court's 

approval. Such a plan may provide that the Fund shall be distributed pursuant to the Fair Fund 

provisions of Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Court shall retain 

jurisdiction over the administration of any distribution of the Fund and the Fund may only be 

disbursed pursuant to an Order of the Court. 

Regardless of whether any such Fair Fund distribution is made, amounts ordered to be 

paid as civil penalties pursuant to this Judgment shall be treated as penalties paid to the 

government for all purposes, including all tax purposes. To preserve the deterrent effect of the 

civil penalty, Defendant shall not, after offset or reduction of any award of compensatory 

damages in any Related Investor Action based on Defendant's payment of disgorgement in this 

action, argue that he is entitled to, nor shall he further benefit by, offset or reduction of such 

compensatory damages award by the amount of any part of Defendant's payment of a civil 

penalty in this action ("Penalty Offset"). If the court in any Related Investor Action grants such 

a Penalty Offset, Defendant shall, within 30 days after entry of a final order granting the Penalty 

Offset, notify the Commission's counsel in this action and pay the amount of the Penalty Offset 

to the United States Treasury or to a Fair Fund, as the Commission directs. Such a payment shall 

not be deemed an additional civil penalty and shall not be deemed to change the amount of the 

civil penalty imposed in this Judgment. For purposes of this paragraph, a "Related Investor 

Action" means a private damages action brought against Defendant by or on behalf of one or 

more investors based on substantially the same facts as alleged in the Complaint in this action.

Commission; (3) assert that payment of a civil penalty should not be ordered; ( 4) contest the
