Section  21(d)(2)  of  the  Exchange  Act  [15  U.S.C.  §  78u(d)(2)]  and  Section  20(e)  of  the
Securities Act [15 U.S.C. § 77t(e)], Defendant is prohibited from acting as an officer or

VI.
IT  IS  FURTHER  ORDERED,  ADJUDGED,  AND  DECREED  that  Defendant  is
liable for a civil penalty in the amount of $185,000.00 pursuant to pursuant to Section 20(d)
of the Securities Act [15 U.S.C. § 77t(d)] and Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act [15

and must  be  accompanied  by  a  letter  identifying  the  case  title,  civil  action  number,  and
name  of  this  Court;  Amanda  Flores  as  a  defendant  in  this  action;  and  specifying  that
payment is made pursuant to this Final Judgment.
Defendant must  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 will 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 must pay post judgment interest on any amounts
due after 30 days of the entry of this Final Judgment pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961.  The
Commission will 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 will be distributed pursuant to the Fair
Fund  provisions  of  Section  308(a)  of  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  of  2002.    The  Court  will
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 Final Judgment will 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 must not, after offset or reduction of any award of
compensatory damages in any Related Investor Action based on Defendant’s payment of

penalty in this action, argue that she is entitled to, nor will she 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 must, 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 will not be deemed an additional civil penalty
and will  not  be  deemed  to  change  the  amount  of  the  civil  penalty  imposed  in  this  Final
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.
VII.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the Consent is
incorporated  herein  with  the  same  force  and  effect  as  if  fully  set  forth  herein,  and  that
Defendant must comply with all of the undertakings and agreements set forth therein.
VIII.
IT  IS  FURTHER  ORDERED,  ADJUDGED,  AND  DECREED  that,  solely  for
purposes of exceptions to discharge set forth in Section 523 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11
U.S.C.  §523,  the  allegations  in  the  complaint  are  true  and  admitted  by  Defendant,  and
further,  any  debt  for  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 entered in connection with this proceeding, is a debt for the
violation by Defendant of the federal securities laws or any regulation or order issued under
such  laws,  as  set  forth  in  Section  523(a)(19)  of  the  Bankruptcy  Code,  11  U.S.C.
§523(a)(19).

and must be accompanied by a letter identifying the case title, civil action number, and 

name of this Court; Amanda Flores as a defendant in this action; and specifying that 

payment is made pursuant to this Final Judgment.   

Defendant must 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 will 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 must pay post judgment interest on any amounts 

due after 30 days of the entry of this Final Judgment pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961.  The 

Commission will 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 will be distributed pursuant to the Fair 

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

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 Final Judgment will 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 must not, after offset or reduction of any award of 

compensatory damages in any Related Investor Action based on Defendant’s payment of

penalty in this action, argue that she is entitled to, nor will she 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 must, 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 will not be deemed an additional civil penalty 

and will not be deemed to change the amount of the civil penalty imposed in this Final 

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. 

VII. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the Consent is 

incorporated herein with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein, and that 

Defendant must comply with all of the undertakings and agreements set forth therein. 

VIII. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that, solely for 

purposes of exceptions to discharge set forth in Section 523 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 

U.S.C. §523, the allegations in the complaint are true and admitted by Defendant, and 

further, any debt for 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 entered in connection with this proceeding, is a debt for the 

violation by Defendant of the federal securities laws or any regulation or order issued under 

such laws, as set forth in Section 523(a)(19) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 

§523(a)(19).
